The Philips ProCare hairdryer is designed with advanced Philips EHD
(Even Heat Distribution) Technology ™. The
dryer uses a uniquely designed air outlet (using
an EHD fan-shaped grille, see below gure)
to ensure that heat is always distributed very
evenly, even at high temperatures, and prevents
damaging hot spots. Due to this technology
you will have 20% less overheating of the hair.*
This gives advanced protection to the hair from
overheating and thus helps to keep your hair
healthy and shiny.
