Soft Bonnet Hair Dryers

On this page we will be looking at the soft bonnet hair dryers that are on the market.

The chief difference between soft bonnet hair dryers and regular hand-held dryers is that the hand held allows for precision styling sections of hair at a time. Whereas soft bonnet hair dryers dry the hair uniformly which makes it a perfect choice if you have an all over hair treatment or are using large rollers. You can also buy Ionic versions of this dryer to take advantage of the benefits of ion technology discussed elsewhere on this site.

Soft Bonnet Hair Dryers and Treatments

There are many protein-based treatments designed to repair your hair on the market. Typically these treatments need to be applied to wet hair and then left in for a while. The instructions will often state that the penetration of the proteins into the hair will be improved with heat. In a salon you would sit under a helmet dryer but you can achieve the same effect at home using a soft bonnet hair dryer and a shower cap. Place the shower cap over your treated hair and then put the bonnet over the shower cap. This will replicate the helmet dryer in the salon.

Soft Bonnet Hair Dryers and Rollers

If you are using large rollers in your styling you will need to get an even heat distribution to avoid damaging the hair through over heating. Soft bonnet hair dryers are perfect for this application. It is also a much quicker way of completing your styling because if you use a hand dryer, you will have to dry the hair first and then put the rollers in, finally relying on hair spray to keep the style in place. If you will be styling with large rollers make sure you select a model that has a large enough bonnet to fit over the rollers.
