Hot air is fantastic if you’re in a hurry. It dries your hair quickly and helps shape your style, especially if you have thick or coarse hair. But it can be tough on your hair if you use it too much.
Cold air, on the other hand, might take a bit more time, but it’s more kind.

How to protect your hair from heat damage and frizz by?
Taking care of your hair while using heat tools can be tricky, but with the Laifen Swift dryer, it’s a whole lot easier. Get those tips to help you keep your hair frizz-free.
Step 1. Choose the right temperature
The Laifen Swift’s 4-color LED ring isn’t just for show. Use the yellow setting (warm air) for most of your drying to be slight on your hair.
A friend of mine with fine hair swears by this method—she says it’s helped her hair stay smooth and shiny without the usual dry ends.
Step 2. Get smart with circulating mode
One of my favorite features is the circulating mode. Press and hold the temperature button for two seconds to switch between hot and cold air automatically.
Step 3. Don’t skip the heat protectant
Even though the Laifen Swift is designed to be kinder to your hair, it’s always a good idea to use a heat protectant spray.
Personally, I’ve found that my hair feels much less brittle when I combine a good heat protectant with the Laifen Swift’s controlled heat settings.
Step 4. Dry in sections for best results
Instead of blasting your whole head at once, take a little extra time to dry your hair in sections.
This not only ensures even drying but also means you’re not overheating any part of your hair.
Step 5. Cool down to close the hair cuticles
Once your hair is almost dry, switch to the blue (cold air) setting. This cool air helps to close the hair cuticles, locking in moisture and giving your hair a smooth finish. It feels super refreshing!

The rings and lights of Laifen hair dryers might initially catch your eye for their sleek and modern appearance, but they serve a much more practical purpose.
These LED indicators represent the temperature settings and give an intuitive way to control the heat and protect your hair. Laifen’s innovative approach to integrating design with functionality sets it apart in the hair care market.
