Insiders’ Opinion on Ways To Maintain and Clean Your Hair Dryer Properly

Without a second thought, hair dryers are a blessing in disguise for those who have to get their hair set in no time. Also, it is a one-time investment. For a seamless experience, it is imperative to take care of it by all means! From setting up the dryer at the right place to proactively dealing with its maintenance, we have jotted down the insiders' opinions so that your hair works well around the clock!

Golden Tips For Keeping Your Hair Dryer Working For Long

Are you someone who loves to style your hair with a dryer before going out to the office or a weekend party?  Does it help you cut down the salon cost and make you invest those pounds somewhere better? Well, no offense to salon owners but I’d second you on this!

For a better working life for your hair dryer, we have jotted down the most important golden tips – just for you! Grab a seat as we are about to spill the beans!

Adequate Placement Of Dryer

Have you heard the saying, "Sometimes a long action goes a long way"? Well, it is true even in the case of hair dryers. But what is a small act here? Let me explain.

Do you have a habit of simply leaving the hair dryer the way you used it - tangled cords, humid environment and bare minimum space? Well, it seems like your wonderful machine that helps you set your hair - is in danger!

 To bring it back to the safe zone, we suggest to follow the enlisted recommendations:

  • Wrap the wire properly to avoid entanglements (that may lead to wire breaks)

  • Let the hair dryer cool down before you put it in the storage box

  • Avoid humid and wet places for keeping the dryer 

Setting Up Cleaning Intervals

The frequent usage of hair dryers may result in the clogging of air filters with dust or hair. This may eventually result in clogging of air - making your cordless hair dryer malfunction!

Just imagine spending pounds on simply getting your hair done at a salon – when you could have done it back home –  just by a rinse!

To avoid such a mishap we would recommend you to follow the enlisted steps:

Step 1:

If your hair dryer is already turned off and cool, remove the air filter. With attention to intricacies, remove the hair or debris stuck. 

Step 2:

In this step, ensure removing the former and the latter, and rinse the filter with warm water ( if detachable).

Step 3:

After this, hold your favourite ionic dryer upside down and clean the inner machinery with something soft and pointy.

Step 4:

Once you're done with cleaning and drying the filter, reattach it back with care.

Proper Usage Of Speed Levels

Have you ever wondered why your last hair dryer got a stinky smell just after you turned it on directly to maximum power? Well, it seems you have the answer. If not, let us break it down for you. 

As frosty winters in the UK make temperatures drop sufficiently, the 5-minute warming of your vehicle’s engine is necessary before you drive it. Similar is the case with hair dryers. If you turn on the power and use maximum power instantly, there are high chances of machinery breaking down.

For this purpose, we would recommend you gradually increase the speed level of your dryer to enjoy a seamless hair-drying experience!

An Eye On Maintenance Requirements

Everything has an expiry date – as the cords, heating elements and body of the travel hair dryer that you recently bought. From this perspective, it is pertinent to keep an eye out for the repair or maintenance of your hair styling wand.

Are you wondering how would you get to know that your lightweight hair dryer needs some brushup? Well, take a look at the following checkpoints:

  • If you sense a burning smell, immediately turn off the dryer and get it inspected!

  • Cracky noises are a warning sign that your hair dryers need to see the technician!

  • Reduced heating power is a sign that the machinery needs to be replaced with a new one!

  • Wire cracks are to be dealt with on a priority basis as it may put human safety at risk and the machinery is also likely to burn owing to short-circuit!

  • Less airflow despite full power is a signal that you either need to clean the filter or get the blower checked!

Pro Tip:

Most of the hair dryers malfunction owing to a lack of cleaning. Therefore, we recommend you to get your machine taken care of on time!

Conclusion

To sum up, it is necessary to take care of your hair dryer so that your hair can look good - every time and anytime. This necessitates timely cleaning of dust and debris by carefully cleansing the filter. In addition to this, the inner machinery should be cleaned with proper attention to detail. Not to forget that an eagle eye should be kept on every single weird noise from the dryer - to ensure proactive maintenance!
