It's not as cool as an ion cannon, but the ionic dryer can nourish and moisturise your hair from the inside.
The market for small household appliances is expanding year on year, thanks in part to the growing demand for beauty equipment. The sector is attracting the attention of more and more companies, which are doing their utmost to develop their products to make them attractive to potential customers.
The range of hairdryers is no exception, with a number of interesting innovations. Functions that are designed not only to dry hair, but also to make it healthier. These include ionisation, also known as ionic technology. A Xiaomi's range you can already find equipment that has been equipped with this process, and we'll use it to show you exactly what it involves and why it's useful.
Ionisation
The Xiaomi compact on your device (215 x 160 x 77 mm) is powered by a motor with a maximum rated power of 1800 watts. Manufactured by Mabuchi Motor of Japan, the component has six wing-shaped blades and generates 1.6 cubic metres of airflow for fast drying. Each blade is subjected to a dynamic balance test to reduce engine noise
The product is capable of discharging hot, cold and alternating temperature air. There are two speed settings to choose from and it also has a special nozzle that amplifies the airflow and can be set to rotate continuously to dry hair evenly.
The special feature of this model is the ionizer, which is based on an integrated condensing needle. This component condenses moisture in the air and atomizes it into tiny, negatively charged water ions. These are released into the air and onto the hairs with the outgoing air. These ions seal the pores in the hair shaft and penetrate deep into the hair and scalp. They prevent drying and moisturise the hair and skin, and reduce static electricity, which helps prevent unwanted frizz and increases hair shine.
As a result, hair will not only be healthier, but it will also look it.
The water ions are formed in a separate compartment, isolated from the heat of the engine, ensuring they reach the deepest layers of hair. A special feature of the hairdryer is the dedicated water ion channel, which prevents the ions from losing heat and ensures that they are transported over long distances. Also worth mentioning here is the built-in NTC temperature control unit, which automatically adjusts the flow of hot and cold air based on the ambient temperature. This technology helps to protect hair strands and prevents hair damage caused by excessive temperatures.
The device is also protected by a two-layer coating that resists dirt and scratches and provides a smooth, clean surface. Similarly, the Premium thermostat and the thermal fuse, a dual protection against overheating, ensure trouble-free operation. Thanks to these, the power is automatically cut off if the sensor detects that the temperature has exceeded a safe level
