About nanoe™
What is nanoe™?
nanoe™ is ion particles enveloped in water and is not visible
to the naked eye. Since nanoe™ is generated by collecting
water in the air, it may be difficult to generate in certain cases
depending on the environment. This is due to the fact that
water in the air is difficult to collect when the temperature and
humidity level is low. This is when negative ions are generated.
(nanoe™ and negative ion generation method: High-voltage
discharge)
How nanoe™ works
Generally hair has properties which make it easy to become
positively charged with electricity. These properties attract
strongly negatively charged nanoe™ which penetrates the hair
with moisture. Furthermore, they make the hair slightly acidic,
tighten cuticles and keep your hair strong, elastic and healthy.
►Notes
● You may notice a characteristic odor when using this
appliance. This is caused by the ozone it generates and is
not harmful to the human body.
● A humming noise may come out of the nanoe™ Outlet, but
this is the sound of nanoe™ being discharged and is not a
malfunction.
