Under the influence of ions, moisture on the hair turns into tiny droplets and is absorbed. In this case, the hair dries faster. Such devices not only dry, but also weaken the harmful effects of hot air.

Using a round brush and hot air, you can make curls and create a volume at the roots on moistened strands. In some models, the brush can rotate automatically, which greatly facilitates and speeds up styling.
