Best Hooded Hairdryers for Curly Hair

If you’re only just getting into the specifics of what it means to care for and maintain curly hair, chances are you’re in for a bit of confusion here and there. Especially where hairstyling tools and techniques are concerned.

One of the most known facts about curly hair is that it is prone to extreme dryness and breakage. In other words, the products we use to style, define and treat our curls must be made up of ingredients that are moisturizing and hydrating.

Products containing various drying alcohols, for example, could end up having adverse effects on our hair, whereas no-poo or low-poo shampoos and products, come highly recommended for varying curl types.

When it comes to styling your hair and getting the very best out of your curls, however, there is one aspect of it all that has been a great source of confusion to many of us: whether the use of a hairdryer is beneficial or damaging to your curls.

Given their dryness, we fully understand why hair professionals advise against heat-based treatments and styling techniques for curls. And yet, we see so many of them using hairdryers on their own hair and their clients’ curls.

So, what gives? Why should we be using hairdryers on our curls when they are said to be damaging to our hair? The answer is simple: it’s all about which type of hair dryer you use.

A handheld hair dryer emits direct heat via hot blown hair and will often leave curls with a toasted look and feel, due to increasing dryness. A hooded hair dryer, on the other hand, circulates warm air indirectly – like a gentle, summer breeze tousling your hair.

Any curl-loving haircare professional will always opt for a hooded hairdryer for regular washing and styling sessions. They are often used in combination with deep conditioning, which is extremely efficient for textured hair, and encourage you to get your chill on too.

All a hooded hairdryer requires you to do is to sit back, cover your hair with the bonnet and relax while it works its magic on your curls. Ready to invest in one? Here are the best hooded hair dryers for curly hair on the market.
