Hair Dryers Buying Guide
Key Technology
Ionic
Generators release millions of negatively charged ions to neutralise positively charged water ions, which reduces static, frizz and flyaways. Ionic technology also helps to seal the hair cuticle, boosting shine and hydration.
Ceramic
Ceramic dryers are a smart choice if maintaining hair health is top of mind. This element distributes even heat, gently drying hair from the inside out to protect the exterior from excessive heat.
Infrared
Infrared technology uses lower heat levels and its premium ability to dry hair from the inside out to boost shine, strengthen strands, eliminate frizz and help prevent split ends from excess heat damage.
Wattage
In short, the higher the wattage, the hotter the hair dryer can get, which means your hair will dry faster. A higher wattage is great for long, thick, coarse manes, but thin, sensitive strands might benefit from a lower wattage.
