Ionic hair dryers use negatively charged molecules, or ions, to break down the moisture in your hair, instead of just using a blast of hot air, which is very damaging over time. The advantages you would get from choosing an ionic hair dryer over a regular one make it a very popular hair styling tool. Faster Drying Time.
■ Because ionic hair dryers use negatively charged ions to break down the water molecules on your hair, they get rid of water much faster than traditional hair dryers, which use positive ions. Ionic hair dryers will dry your hair as much as 70 percent faster.
Better Condition
■ Ionic hair dryers will leave your hair in better condition than regular hair dryers because they don’t just heat your hair with dry air. Since it doesn’t take as long to dry your hair, your hair won’t become damaged as easily, and it will stay in good condition.
No Static
■ If you use a regular hair dryer, you are basically stripping all the moisture from it and making it more susceptible to sticking up with static or frizz. The ionic hair dryer leaves you with better moisturized and conditioned hair, so it won’t “fly away” as easily.
Less Electricity Used
■ Since it doesn’t take as long for you to blow dry your hair with the ionic dryer, you are inevitably using less electricity, making the ionic hair dryer much more environmentally friendly. You will also save money on your electric bill.
Fuller Hair
■ If you have naturally fine or thin hair, you will notice that your hair seems fuller and more voluminous after using an ionic hair dryer. This is because the negative ions shrink the water molecules to a small enough size so that the tiny cuticles in your hair can absorb them, making your hair feel bigger.
Less Heat
■ The negatively charged ions do the work here, so you don’t need to blast your hair with as much heat. Less heat means less damage done to your hair in the long run.
