How does the Ionic feature work?
Ionic Conditioning Technology™ - Many aspects of modern
living, including air conditioning, contact with man made fibres
and air pollution, add to the buildup of static electricity in the
hair. Even brushing and towel-drying the hair can increase
these levels. This static charge causes the scales, or cuticle of
the hair to push each other apart, resulting in a rough hair
surface where the hairs cannot lie smoothly against each other.
Consequently, hair may have a dull appearance. High levels of
static charge cause hair to become ‘flyaway’ and difficult to
style. This technology emits a stream of negative ions which act
to neutralize the static charge (positive ions), leaving hair silky
and shiny with reduced frizz.
What is Tourmaline Technology?
Tourmaline-Ceramic Technology™ - Hair damage is minimized,
as the ceramic heat delivers even heat distribution from the
styling appliance, coating harmful and damaging hotspots.
Ceramic heat is a gentle, faster styling tool that retains heat
longer vs non-ceramic heat. Tourmaline is a semiprecious
crystal, which is a natural coating of negative ions and
far-infrared (FIR) rays. The tourmaline-ceramic coating
creates radiant heat to efficiently and safely dry the hair
from the inside out. When in contact with wet/damp hair,
tourmaline works to ionize and alkalise moisture, and provides
antibacterial and deodorant qualities.
