Hair Dryer Stand Choices
A hair dryer stand is an effective tool when hands need to be free to style while hair dries. Not only does a stand eliminate the need to hold onto the hair dryer and maneuver it around the head, styling time is reduced dramatically as well. The hair dryer stand has a wide enough
base to set on a counter top or sink, and the blow dryer sits securely in the cradle of the adjustable stand. With most hair stands, the neck can be raised to the desired height and the flexible neck angled to accommodate the user.
Why a hair dryer stand?
For stylists who benefit from being able to style hair during the drying process, a stand is a valuable tool. Not only can professionals benefit from this styling aid, however. People recovering from surgery, people who have limited range of motion or cannot hold a hairdryer, and disabled persons will all find styling their hair a much easier task with a stand. Of course, if you need to curl, diffuse, or straighten without the help of a stylist, a stand is for you also.
Different styles of hair dryer stands:
Although stand alone bonnet-style hair dryers can be purchased, the hair dryer is still the tool of choice for creating a salon look. The most common type of stand is one that has either a round or pronged foot base, and can be set on a bathroom counter or vanity top. These stands are typically adjustable up to 36″ and have flexible necks to angle the hair dryer and cost between $15 and $20.
For a hands free dryer stand with a little more eccentricity, Hair Art sells a light, chrome-colored spiral stand. This model is not adjustable but looks great and the price is right, about $14.
For a professional, a stand need to be sturdy, portable, and reliable. A stylist with the budget can buy a salon-quality hooded hair dryer on a stand with wheels for about $150. This is the perfect choice for a salon, and the low noise generation will be more comfortable for customers.
The choice of stand really depends on where and how it will be used. When most of the styling is done in a hurry at the bathroom sink, a simple sturdy stand that adjusts to the necessary height, and accommodates a multitude of different hair dryer brands, should work well. For many hair stylists this may be an option also. The hood dryer on wheels is useful when one has to sit underneath with a hair net on.
Perhaps the best use for a hands free hair dryer stand is in the home, for people who want to save time and effort, or need the assistance to finish their hair.
