Is it Broken or Just Too Cold Outside?

I am a hair moron. That means I can not use hair styling tools and a hair brush at the same time or in some cases one at a time. When curling irons were first invented I must have burned my forehead a half dozen times. I learned my lesson…I can’t use a curling iron.

Due to those scaring adventures, I mean scalp scaring, I never tried a flat iron. But really, when your hair is already flat and lifeless there was no point in that. Probably saved myself some second degree burns.

Finally in my third score and three years, I have mastered a blow dryer, but not necessarily with a hairbrush at the same time. I basically turn my head upside down and run the hot air over my wet hair until I feel light headed.

In the last few very cold days I feel like my blow dryer is not putting out the same heat as it once was. It blows at the same velocity, (oh, isn’t that a sentence all our husbands would love to hear?), but I am just not getting that hot feeling. It’s just warm, but is warm.

What I can’t tell is if a heating element is partially out or is it so cold that my hair dryer is having too much cold to over come?

Sadly cheep hairdryers are not like new cars. There are no dashboard lights to tell me one of the three heat coils has died like the car tells me the individual PSI in each tire.

When it is so cold out I really want the full Monty of heat. (Another thing the husbands would like to hear.) I hate the idea of shelling out $29.99 for another cheep hair dryer just to discover it is only as hot as my current cheep hair dryer.

Not that any of this really matters. As a hair moron, my hair is only as good as the operator. I know I’m not going to make my hair look better. I just want to be hotter. Not going to happen, no matter how you take that sentence.
