HIGH SPEED MOTOR increases the velocity
at which air moves through the dryer
and into your hair, helping you dry and
style your hair faster. It minimizes heat damage
and makes hair less frizzy and more manageable.
CERAMIC HEAT TECHNOLOGY will keep your
hair healthy and shiny. It generates full
spectrum, infrared heat which works on hair
molecules to dry them inside & out.
THE IONIZING FUNCTION generates a cloud
of negative ions that can:
• neutralize the generally positive charge

• eliminate static electricity
• contribute to shine
