Introduction
The Philips Powerprotect ION has been specially
designed to meet your personal needs, giving you
frizz-free, beautiful and shiny hair.The ioniser
inside the hairdryer emits negatively charged ions
that surround your hair. Negative ions reduce the
build-up of static electricity and help to keep your
hair in good condition, making it frizz-free and
smooth.
Scientific tests have shown that drying at a too
high temperature can lead to overdrying. Hair
that has been overdried, feels coarse and looks
dull and frizzy.Whereas normal hairdryers can
heat up the hair to very high temperatures
(approx. 80cC), the Powerprotect ION features
the Powerprotect System.This system offers
gentle drying at a lower and caring temperature
of 57cC, reducing the risk of overheating the hair.
Combined with an ultra-strong airflow, the system
dries your hair ultra-quickly, giving it the lustre,
body and richness you love.
