Best Hood Hair Dryers

The Hot Tools is a famous company designed by professional hair stylists to bring innovation to the market. The brand has been producing a vast range of styling tools that boast cutting-edge technical features and breakthrough ergonomically-advanced designs. What distinguishes its products and brings them to the forefront before the competition is that they look ultimately modern and can deliver an exceptional level of convenience for both a master and a client.

The Salon Sundry Professional Bonnet Style Hood dryer will be light on your hands and light on your wallet. No, it's not cheaper than other professional hood dryers but it can save you much money in the long run. The thing is that it's lower in wattage (but not in performance) compared to similar models. While other salon-grade bonnet dryers use 1850 Watts or even 2000+ Watts, this one requires only 1000 Watts of power, meaning it's a very cost-effective solution. Yet, it can still get hot enough to let you set perms or perform other hair treatment procedures. The temperature is adjustable up to 165-degrees Fahrenheit and there are 3 settings for different hair types. Though you don't see the exact temperature, the handy LED lights (blue, yellow, and red) indicate cool, medium and hot heat settings. Another nifty feature is a timer that can be set up to 60 minutes. It's loud enough and sounds like a timer used for baking.

Speaking about design, the dryer uses a stainless steel heating element and multi-bladed fan for fast and even drying. The thing that sold us is that the fan is very quiet. So, if you're a master, you'll be able to have conversations with your clients and not to yell through the noise of the hood dryer. And if you're a client, you'll be able to easily watch television, talk to someone through your phone, etc.

The Gold 'N Hot Elite 1875-Watt Professional Stand Bonnet Dryer is obviously not the cheapest model on the market yet one of the most convenient to use. For starters, it's very agile thanks to the sturdy base with 5 caster wheels. Once you find a perfect place for the dryer, you can lock the wheels for slip-free stability. The frame itself is very well-built and reliable. Like other professional models, the tube can be adjusted to the comfortable height. Also, it folds down easily for convenient storage or transportation. Secondly, the whole construction of the unit is very compact and lightweight. And another feature that adds to its usability is the extra-large 10-foot power cord that will give you the freedom of movement.

Still, the hair dryer isn't only easy to use but also very effective and gentle on hair. It gets very hot and does a great job on drying and deep conditioning the hair. It can also set color and perm perfectly - up to 10x faster than old-fashioned dryers. With 1875 Watts of power and 4 different temperature settings, it will give users maximum versatility on all hair structures.

The Nova Microdermabrasion hood hair dryer is a semi-professional model that is loaded with numerous useful functions and features to suit various needs. Besides gentle hair drying, this styling machine can be used for a wide array of hair procedures including coloring, hot-perm, deep conditioning, hair extensions, various hair treatments, and spot-caring. And you won't need to worry about changing the drying angle for best styling results. Just sit, take your favorite magazine, and relax. The unit will evenly dry your hair, leaving it silky smooth, soft, and frizz-free. The only thing you should do is set the timer and right temperature for your hair type. Using the handy knobs, you can set the temperature somewhere between 35 and 165 degrees F, while timer can be set up from 0 to 60 minutes. The only thing that might sour your impression is that the temperature is shown in Celcius rather than Fahrenheit. However, we found that as a minor issue since the dryer is fitted with colorful lights (green, yellow, and red) that indicate heat settings in a more convenient way.

The ZENY Adjustable Hood Floor Stand Bonnet Hair Dryer is another frills-free model that is very reasonably priced. Although it has no extra functions like an advanced Ion generator, it still works like a miracle and does its main job perfectly - it dries your hair evenly and quickly, leaving it soft and shiny. So, if you have long and thick hair that normally takes hours to fully dry, with the ZENY hair dryer, you won't need to plan a whole day around your hair anymore. This thing will dry it in half an hour or less.

The hood of this dryer is large enough to accommodate even the longest hair with the largest rollers. For your convenience and easy entry into the dryer, the hood features a hinged adjustable front visor. The visor, as well as the hood, is made from strong tinted acrylic, so it won't obscure your vision.

Another thing you'll appreciate, especially if you're a novice user, is that the dryer is very straightforward to use. It features just on/off button and two rotation knobs. The knobs stand for a timer (from 0 to 60 min) and heat level (from cool to hot).
