Ionic hair dryer - get rid of static electricity!

Taming frizzy hair can be really difficult. Do you have to abandon the use of the dryer completely with this problem? Not if you choose the ionization variant. In our article, we explain how such a device works.

Fan - which one to choose? 

Proper drying of the hair in spring and summer is not that important - the hairstyle dries quite quickly due to the hot air, and the temperature is not conducive to colds. The situation is different in the autumn and winter, when improper drying of the hair can have serious consequences. First of all, going out into the winter cold with damp strands is a simple way to catch a cold. Secondly - wet hair may freeze slightly, which results in micro-damage. Therefore, especially in winter, it is worth returning to using the dryer after each washing, especially if your hair is quite thick, which causes it to dry slowly.

Not everyone likes to dry their hair due to problems with its styling and structure after being subjected to this type of treatment. Many people consciously give up drying, choosing to wait slowly for their hair to dry without the use of any devices. All because of static hair, which for some people is unpleasantly frizzy during drying and becomes dull. By drying naturally, they retain their brilliance. However, this is not a practical solution, especially if you prefer morning showers.

So what can be done to prevent static electricity and frizz? You can try to dry them with cool air - but it is not pleasant on cold days, and at the same time it takes a much longer time. There is another one that will surely appeal to people who want to limit the time spent on styling a hair every day - it is an ionized hair dryer. More and more manufacturers meet the needs of customers by offering this innovative function in their devices.

What is Ionization? 

Ionizing dryers use a physical phenomenon, thanks to which the hair does not become electrified during drying. How it's possible? What is ionization that makes this possible? Being a process of charge neutralization, ionization tames electrified hair. During drying with warm air, cations are formed on the surface of the hair cuticles - ions with a positive electric charge. This, in turn, causes a number of undesirable effects - from dulling the hair to "puffing up", which makes it difficult to style. The electrification makes it impossible to comb them properly without the wisps rising, which sometimes gives a comic effect.

The ionization dryer allows the generation of negative ions which neutralize the cations formed on the hair surface during hot air drying. The effect is immediately visible - the hair is easier to style, more pleasant to the touch and also shinier.

It is worth combining the possibilities offered by the ionization function with a short cold drying as the culmination of the entire ritual. The effect can be spectacular - cold air helps to close the hair cuticles, which results in their excellent appearance.

How do you know when the ionization function is working? 

As mentioned above, the effect will be visible after the first use of the new dryer model. Smooth and shiny hair without the usual dullness - that's what you can count on when choosing a device with this feature. It is usually turned on with one button, and the process itself does not affect the operation of the dryer in any way - even in terms of generated noise or drying temperature.

Some people wonder if ionization in a dryer is harmful, taking innovation in reserve. We reassure, however - there is really nothing to be afraid of. Ionization can only be good for hair.
