subject: Merits And Demerits Of Ionic Hair Dryer And Non-ionic Hair Dryer [print this page] Hair dryers have long become an intrinsic part of our everyday routine. The relatively recent introduction of hair dryer diffusers contributes greatly to their usefulness. With the advancement in the technology, we can have different types of hair dryers.
The two, most popular kinds of hair dryers are ionic and non ionic, that lead sales. Since, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, the write up below emphasizes on both the types.
Non ionic hair dryers work on the age old principle of simply heating the air around wet hair and thus drying them up, whereas the ionic hair dryers play a dual role. Ionic dryers not only spray hot air on the hair but also negatively charged ions. These ions lessen the water particles and thus reduce the moisture.
As per the manufacturers, ionic hair dryers speed up hair drying as compared to the non ionic ones. On the other hand, Good Housekeeping Institute mentioned in their study that both have equal drying time.
The good housekeeping institute and the users are in agreement with the producers of ionic dryers that these give a shine to the hair, because these dryers use lower heat and cause less harm whereas the non ionic dryers cause considerable harm to the hair.
Not only have the manufacturers, even the users said that ionic hair dryers help smooth-en their hair making them more resistant to breakage. Non ionic dryers are far different from these.
Hair dryers come in a wide range of prices. Generally, ionic dryers are more expensive than non-ionic ones. "Good Housekeeping Magazine" compared several models and found that although some were as expensive as $300; its favorites were in the $20 to $25 range.
The only similarity both types of the dryers have is that these need utmost care in handling. As is the case with any other electrical appliance which we close to a water source make sure that the cord does not contact the water. These machines should always be held by the handle. The body of these dryers may be hot and should not be touched.
