The best ionic hair dryers

The appearance of hair is influenced by many factors. Among them are not only the general level of health, environmental conditions and eating habits, but also excess static electricity that appears due to too dry air in the room. Hair suffers especially during the cold season, when the central heating system works as actively as possible. Static electricity makes strands weak, lifeless and brittle, leading to loss of elasticity and shine. To avoid this effect, it is necessary to neutralize the negative influence of positively charged particles. A hairdryer with an ionization function will help with this.

How does a hair dryer with ionization function work?

Ionization is exposure to negatively charged ions. As a result of this hair treatment, static electricity is eliminated, the strands become elastic and shiny. Neutralization of positively charged particles provides protection from the effects of temperature changes.

This effect is ensured by the special design of the hair dryer. The part through which hot air passes is coated with tourmaline coating. During the drying process, the device heats up and the coating begins to release negatively charged particles that condition the strands.

Due to tourmaline coating, the hair dryer heats up more evenly, which further helps protect hair from damage during drying.

Model overview

Using combs with an ion supply function is quite simple; you just need to turn on a special button, wait until the characteristic smell appears, and carefully comb your entire hair several times.

But deciding which model is most suitable for caring for your curls is much more difficult. To make things easier, we studied the most popular brushes and compiled a rating of the best of them.

"Roventa"

One of the most popular home styling brands offers ion-generating brushes. The tools are powered by AA batteries, which can be replaced with batteries for continuous use if desired.

The wide working surface is equipped with soft plastic teeth with round tips. This design provides head massage and stimulation of blood circulation in the hair follicles.

The comb relieves static tension, allows you to quickly create a beautiful hairstyle, makes the strands more even and smooth, and gives them shine. Users noted the excellent value for money of the product.

"Bosch"

Another version of the device for daily use. It gives the strands perfect smoothness and relieves static tension. The comb has as many as 4 ionization channels (Quatro-Ion technology), which ensure uniform and rapid saturation of the hair with negatively charged particles.

There are soft plastic teeth with round tips on a wide field; around each of them there is a small tuft of bristles, so each curl is combed as carefully and efficiently as possible. The tool runs on AAA batteries.

"Brown"

A brush with the IONTEC function allows you to create a neat styling in a matter of minutes, eliminate electrified strands and give them a glossy shine. The comb is single-sided, has soft and flexible teeth with plastic balls on the edges. The readiness of the device for use is indicated by a change in the color of the panel around the power button; it begins to glow green.

The tool turns off automatically after 5 minutes, which is more than sufficient for combing long and thick hair. Power type: AAA batteries.

Hilton

The curling iron-comb will appeal to lovers of romantic hairstyles. With its help you can make spiral curls. The power of the device is 25 W, which is quite enough for home use. The ionization function protects strands from moisture loss and relieves static tension.

The tool operates from the mains, has 3 temperature settings, and is equipped with a rotating cord, which greatly simplifies use. The heating indicator notifies you when you can start working. The diameter of the curling iron is 35 ml, suitable for creating large curls.

BabyLiss

The famous brand of professional hair care products has also released an ionic brush that is suitable for salon and home use. A powerful generator creates a continuous stream of negatively charged particles. The channel is located in the very center of the working surface, which ensures uniform processing of each strand.

The movable teeth glide through the hair very easily, do not tangle it, comb it carefully, making it softer, smoother and shiny. After styling, the curls will stop being electrified and will acquire shine and silkiness. The device runs on regular AA batteries.

Advantages and disadvantages

Hair dryers equipped with an ionization function are preferable to purchase. This is not a marketing trick at all, but a very real way to make your hair well-groomed and protect it from damage. The only disadvantage of such hair dryers is their higher cost. Among the advantages of regular ionization are the following:

• maintaining the natural level of moisture, since under the influence of negatively charged ions, all the water on the surface of the hair shaft is converted into tiny droplets that can penetrate deep into the stratum corneum,
• prevention of increased fragility and cross-section of strands,
• smoothing in the process of ionization of cuticle scales that form the protective layer of the hair shaft,
• reducing excessive activity of the sebaceous glands, which occurs due to dry scalp and hair. The rate of contamination of strands is also reduced because negatively charged ions repel dust and dirt particles from the hair. Thanks to this effect, you can wash your hair less often,
• providing a more durable and aesthetically attractive styling. Electrified hair, styled in a hairstyle, looks sloppy and dull, as it fluffs and clings to each other.

It should be understood that a hair dryer with an ionization function is not capable of restoring already damaged hair. The device only helps to ensure further protection of the strands from negative operating factors.

Negative ions neutralize and remove static from the hair, making the strands less frizzy and smoother. Ionization can be active - the emission of negative ions and passive - the neutralization of positive ones due to the coating material.

Tips for using a hair dryer with ionic function

This hair dryer will be especially useful for those who suffer from the following problems:

• constant hair tangles,
• lack of hair volume at the roots,
• thinning of strands from frequent use of curling irons and straightening irons,
• violation of the water balance of the scalp (excessive oiliness at the roots and dryness at the ends of the strands, the appearance of dandruff and rapid contamination),
• difficulties with styling strands in your hair,
• dullness and loss of shine and elasticity,
• consequences of frequent hair coloring and perming,
• splitting of the hair shaft (section).

For owners of thick and long hair that actively accumulates static electricity, a hair dryer with an ionization function is simply irreplaceable. Otherwise, all the beauty of shining and voluminous strands will be lost due to the influence of positively charged particles.

I have a hairdryer with ionization - my hair is actually less electrified when styling, before this I had no this function, the difference is noticeable.

I generally don’t dry my hair without a hair dryer with ionization, it just feels like straw afterwards... After a hair dryer with an ionizer, my hair is shiny and doesn’t get dirty for a long time. In short, take it with ionization, you won’t regret it.

If I dry it with an ionic hair dryer, my hair is smooth, shiny, and elastic. But if a hairdryer without ionization is all it is, the hair becomes kind of fluffy, dry, shaggy...

Instructions for use

Ionic conditioning of hair during the drying process is performed as follows:

1. Wash your hair using a shampoo suitable for your hair type.
2. Then use a conditioner or nourishing mask.
3. Dry your hair slightly with a soft terry towel.
4. Spray the entire length of your hair with a heat protectant.
5. Start drying your hair on the lowest temperature setting. The ionization function should be turned on immediately.
6. Dry your bangs and hair near your face with a comb, lifting the strands at the roots and achieving volume.

   

7. To dry the entire length of the strands, use a round styling brush.
8. Hair on the back of the head needs especially careful drying. Otherwise, the styling will look sloppy and bulky. To do this, secure the side strands with plastic hairdressing clips and, directing a stream of hot air to the back of the head, lift the hair with a brush at the very roots.

The longer you hold a strand of hair curled on a brush under the stream of hot air generated by a hairdryer, the more pronounced curl you will get as a result.

Using a hair dryer with an ionic function, hair looks healthier and smoother after drying. The cuticle scales are smoothed, the strands are perfectly even, but not overdried, the ends are slightly curled inward.

Comparison table of characteristics of hair dryers with ionization function

Until I got a hair dryer with an ionization function, I sincerely believed that this was a marketing trick and nothing more. It seemed to me that there was no noticeable difference between a regular hair dryer and one that generates negative ions. When they gave me a hairdryer with an ionizer, I was convinced of the opposite. After the first use there was no special effect, except that the hair became a little smoother. However, after two weeks of constant use, the strands became smooth, silky and as if nourished. For the purity of the experiment, I did not change my skincare products during this period, continuing to use my usual shampoo and conditioner. Nevertheless, the hair was noticeably transformed - after styling it with a hairdryer, it began to shine and shimmer, although it usually looks duller. I noticed this effect only after visiting a beauty salon, where professional techniques are used on hair. I definitely recommend replacing your regular hair dryer with a device with an ionization function. Mysterious Invisible Negative Ions Really Work! In addition, the styling lasts a little longer than usual. I think this is due to the fact that hair does not attract dust and dirt particles so much. In addition, after removing the headdress or hood, the hairstyle does not look like a crow's nest or a sheaf of straw. I use a Moser Ventus hair dryer. This is already the second device that I purchase from this manufacturer. Yes, my hair dryer is a little more expensive than other models in its segment, but it completely justifies the difference in cost. This device is very convenient for self-styling and does not dry out your hair at all.

Many people are accustomed to the fact that blow-drying leads to dry strands and loss of shine. But if the hair dryer is equipped with a built-in ionic conditioning function, then damage to the hair during the styling process will be minimized. Healthy, manageable and shiny strands, free from excess static electricity, look well-groomed and give you self-confidence.
