What
is ion Technology? Ion technology is a stream of ions produced by the
device which are blown onto the hair in the air stream. These ions seperate free
water molecules into micro drops (Smaller drops) which are easier to dry which
means less time that the hair is subject to heat. Also these microdrops are more
easily absorbed by the hair producing more hydrated healthier hair. These negative
ions also cancel out the harmful positive static charges created from brushing
the hair.
What are ceramics in hairdryers? the ceramics are
to isolate the ionic generators and to group the ions at the tip where the air
stream takes them to the hair
What
does Wattage matter?
The wattage is the general guide to the power output of the hair dryer. Higher
wattage means more power that produces more heat suitable for heavier thicker
hair. The hotter the temperature of the airstream the faster the hair will dry
but the more damage that can be caused without ionic protection.
Which of these
are professional and what is the difference? The professional dryers have
the highest wattage for use in salons and fast drying. The best dryers are the
highest wattage but also have a temperature control and/or coolshot
So which is
the best dryer for me? The best dryers are the ones with a combination
of all the best features. Higher wattage but temperature control means that the
dryer is suitable for all hair types. Ionic technology is also recommended to
protect your hair during drying.
If
you have thick hair then you will need a higher temperature dryer.
If
you have thin hair you can make do with a lower wattage/temperature dryer.
If your hair
is in poor condition then you should try ionics
