Does Hooded Dryer Damage Natural Hair?

Hooded dryers are specifically designed to protect hair from heat while drying. A regular dryer emits hot air, which can damage hair.

There are two types of dryers for natural hair – those with soft hoods and those with hard hats. The soft hooded type have a hood attached via a hose to the central unit, which provides better heat distribution and protects your hair from becoming frizzy or unmanageable.

1. Conditioning your strands under heat provides the best hydration and strength to your hair. regardless of the hair’s porosity, you reap the maximum benefits of doing a deep treatment under heat. 2. Hood dryers help reduce frizz and static by redirecting airflow around your hair. 3. They help eliminate split ends and damage from styling products, allowing you to use less product and achieve longer-lasting results. 4. Hood dryers generate intense heat that works through the hair shaft to revitalize and soften it from the inside out. This leaves your locks with a healthy shine and bounce.

The hooded hair dryer is used for professional hair styling and drying. It also has many other possibilities, such as using it as a hair therapy tool – use a conditioner, hot oil treatment or a mask and put your head inside the hood.

A heat pump dryer is more efficient in terms of energy use as it extracts moisture from the clothes at a high speed which results in lesser amount of water used.
