Are you tired of having to spend loads of money at the Salon? Convenience and Economy are one of the main reasons for buying a hooded hair dryer for home use.

There are some factors to consider before choosing a model of hooded home hairdryer. In the article Bonnet vs. Hooded dryers, we noted that sometimes the words bonnet and hood are used interchangeably.

However, this article will focus on some hood dryers that are common for home use.

What to consider before purchasing a home hooded hairdryer?

  1. Doesn’t take up much space
  • Space savers are always a plus if you live in an apartment or a dorm room.
  • Stand up hair dryers take up corner space and don’t easily fit in the closet.
  • Tabletop hairdryers and soft bonnets are easy to store out of sight, for a more beautiful and tidy home.
  1. Durability

  • Of course the heavier duty the materials, the longer the hooded home hairdryer will last. Most of the tabletop hairdryers and made with cheaper plastic than the more professional salon-style rolling dryers.
  • Tabletop Hoods tend to fall on your head because the height adjustment notch is not sturdy.
  1. Movement

  • The two best types of dryers for mobility are:
  1. The rolling standup dryer, these can be used with any seating
  2. Also, the other is the soft bonnet, particularly the self-contained version.
  1. Comfort

  • One common issue with tabletop dryers is they are not heavy enough in the back and tend to topple over easily.
  1. Expense
