Use
-
Before looking for a bonnet dryer, consider how it is used. The user must sit down, rest the bonnet on a table top or other surface, and then place her head under the extended bonnet hood. Hot air comes down out of inner vents in the hood to dry the user's hair. In the case of a soft bonnet hair dryer, the user pulls a soft hood (connected to a hose) over his head. The bonnet inflates as it blows hot air over the hair.
Adjustable
-
When sitting down, you'll need room to extend the bonnet hood up or down to fit comfortably over your head, so when looking for a bonnet dryer, make sure it has an adjustable arm. If you have a soft bonnet dryer, ensure that the hose is flexible.

Heat Settings
-
Also, consider the maximum wattage of the bonnet dryer. Like a standard hand-held dryer, a standard bonnet dryer should emit about 1875 watts, while a soft bonnet dryer emits about 400 watts. Standard bonnets have a two- to four-speed heat setting for low, medium, high, and sometimes "cool" for emitting cool air over the hair.
Benefits
-
Bonnet hair dryers speed up drying time, require minimal to no effort, and are popular for wet roller sets to achieve a curly look after washing hair.
