This blow dryer's ceramic heating element emits negative ions and warm air to dry hair faster than typical models. The ions break down water droplets, allowing them to evaporate faster than if they were merely exposed to a stream of hot air. Because of the rapid drying process, hair is not exposed to extended periods of high heat that remove vital nutrients and oils and damage hair. The DC motor and ceramic heating element produce consistent, efficient heat that dries hair more evenly than lesser models with metal or plastic heating elements. The hair dryer has dual speed settings, a removable airflow concentrator, and a diffuser. 8 2/3" H x 3 2/3" W x 9 1/2" L. (1 3/4 lbs.)
