Love your blog (especially tips about hair colour, now that I’ve recently thrown myself into this strange new world!). Anyhow, being previously a wash-tie-up-and-go person, I never thought twice about hair dryers. I’m now using a hair dryer regularly (trying to preserve funky colour!), and recently came this thing called an “Ionic hair dryer”.
What is your opinion on these? Any good, or waste of money?

Alright firstly, what supposedly does an Ionic blow dryer do differently than a regular blow dryer?
Here’s the claim..
Positive and negative ‘ions‘ exist in everything. The claim, is that wet hair is more ‘positively’ charged, and by using an ionic dryer, you’re adding back that negative charge. What does this do? Well companies claim it does a lot of things, like:
- less heat damage
- quick dry time
- seals the cuticle
- less frizz
- keeps water ‘in’ the hair shaft, thus more hydrated
Now does this actually work? Is it worth your investment?
The short answer? No.
Here’s why..
