so i've been looking for a new hair dryer and i keep seeing "ceramic" and "ionic" everywhere. i know what ceramic means from my hair curlers, but what's the difference between ceramic hair dryers and ionic hair dryers? is one better than the other?
specifically i'm looking for a hair dryer with a diffuser attachment. oh and a retractable cord is pretty sweet as well  any hair dryer suggestions? what do you ladies use? |

^ That's what the posts above you say.
My hair dryer has different ionic settings, which you can switch between depending on how thick your hair is. When you use your ionic setting it dries by minimizing the size of the waterdroplets on your hair, so it helps keep your hair from get frizzy and dried out. Ceramic heats a lot better... and is typically a standard of a hairdryer. If you're going to use your hair dryer everyday, get one that is both and has different ionic settings. They will probably cost around the same price as one that doesn't have different settings, unless you get one that has extra gadgets on it. |
