Hair Styling Tools

If you are in the market for a hairdryer, hair professionals and stylists alike will tell you to look under the category of  ionic hairdryers.

So, you ask the question why an ionic hairdryer?  How is this different from the standard hair dryers?  What makes an ionic dryer so special?  Well, it all boils down to how ionic technology works. 

Ionic technology as it relates to hairdryers simply stated means that a stream of negatively charged ions is released into the air from your hairdryer once it has been turned on.  As you direct that airflow onto your wet hair, the negative ions break apart the water molecules in your hair, making them smaller so they ae more easily absorbed by your hair or dried through evaporation.  This results in your hair cuticles staying moist and thus, less brittle, and your hair dries quicker.

What else does ionic technology claim to do for your hair?   If you have flyaway hair, ionic technology is supposed to help neutralize the frizz and the flyaway hairs so your hair looks smooth and glossy. 

There are a multitude of ionic hairdryers in the marketplace.  They come in all shapes and sizes and price ranges.  When shopping for one, please keep in mind the type hair you have as this will relate to the wattage amount you will need.  If you have a lot of hair,  you will more than likely want an ionic hairdryer that has a higher voltage.  Typically an 1875 watt dryer will work best.  If you have short hair or thin or fine hair, you will not need as high of a wattage amount.  Typically a 1600 watt hairdryer will work just fine.
