Worried about EMF? Get a Low EMF Hair Dryer
I guess you’re worried about electromagnetic fields emitted by blow dryers, but rest assured a low EMF hair dryer is actually an ally to your health.
What does low EMF hair dryer mean?
First, EMF stands for electromagnetic field, and the “low EMF” feature indicates that a certain hair dryer generates a harmless amount of EMF radiation thanks to a new technology built in the hair dryer’s motor.

A lot of people are surprized when they find out how the intensity of the magnetic field prese
nt near electrical apparatus may be variable. The intensity of the magnetic field does not depend on congestion, complexity, power or the sound level of the tool people use and can vary from one device to the other. For instance, some hair dryers are surrounded by a very strong magnetic field, whereas other tools do not generate any. Some experts believe that the effects of these emissions can include cancer and possible immune system effects.
This is why investing in a low EMF blow dryer is much better for you and your hair, but which model is actually worth the investment?
Do you know that sit under hair dryers are LOW Radiation hair dryers?

All been said, do you use your hair dryer more often than others? In this case it’s of great importance you purchase a low EMF hair dryer. Using hair dryers for prolonged periods is a sure way to get exposed to harmful radiations and this may aggravate with time.
You might be asking yourself this question: “if hair dryers can be this dangerous, how can I blow dry my hair?” Don’t worry!!! Manufacturers are doing their best to satisfy those of you who question the quality of the tools they’d like to use before buying them. There are good models in the market today that are designed to emit a minimum of Electric Magnetic Fields that do not pose any threat to the user’s health.
A great number of models that supposedly ensure low EMF either lack good features or the motor they’re designed with is not enough robust and long lasting. The best low EMF hair dryer should feature variable features, a robust motor and premium performance all at an affordable price.
Yet, your quest does not stop at getting a low EMF hair dryer. You should look for an extra feature – ceramic coils – that will ensure consistent heating and faster results.
Hair dryers have an interior double insulation that protects the user from electric shocks and are only pre-fitted with a two-pronged plug. They should not be connected to the main earth since in case of an accident they become dangerous.
EMF of hair dryers decreases in proportion to the square of the distance. The rule is that if the distance is doubled, the intensity of the magnetic field is divided by four. Also, using a hair dryer 10 cm away from the head decreases its radiance by 50%.
The chart below displays the characteristic values of the magnetic field generated by some electric apparatus commonly used in house and workplaces. these measures were carried out in Germany and all the appliances are operated at a frequency of 50 Hz. The exposure level varies very significantly depending on the model and how far it is.

As a natural health author, EMF levels are important to me. After reading this article I did purchase the Barbar Ceramic ECO 8000 Hair Dryer. I measured it with my EMF meter, and it is NOT low EMF. I promptly returned it. I urge you to take readings of each of these dryers with your own trifield EMF meter. The marketing pitches cannot be trusted.

Hi Angela,
Thanks for your comment. I really do my best test or read what others test. I highly recommend people writing comments about their experiences with certain hair dryers.
Angela, What hairdryer did you end up purchasing that has low EMFs?
What about the new Dyson hair dryers?
