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.

Brush Shape
Different shaped brushes create different looks. A round brush shapes a bouncy, curled style, oval brushes lift roots, smooth lengths and add cute flicks to the ends, and flat brushes are ideal for smoothing hair.
