How does the Ionic feature work?
Ionic Conditioning Technology™ - Many aspects of modern

living, including air conditioning, contact with man made fi bres
and air pollution, add to the buildup of static electricity in the
hair. Even brushing and towel-drying the hair can increase
these levels. This static charge causes the scales, or cuticle of
the hair to push each other apart, resulting in a rough hair
surface where the hairs cannot lie smoothly against each other.
Consequently, hair may have a dull appearance. High levels of
static charge cause hair to become ‘fl yaway’ and diffi cult to
style. This technology emits a stream of negative ions which act
to neutralize the static charge (positive ions), leaving hair silky
and shiny with reduced frizz.

What is Tourmaline Technology?
Tourmaline-Ceramic Technology™ - Hair damage is minimized,

as the ceramic heat delivers even heat distribution from the
styling appliance, coating harmful and damaging hotspots.
Ceramic heat is a gentle, faster styling tool that retains heat
longer vs non-ceramic heat. Tourmaline is a semiprecious
crystal, which is a natural coating of negative ions and
far-infrared (FIR) rays. The tourmaline-ceramic coating
creates radiant heat to effi ciently and safely dry the hair
from the inside out. When in contact with wet/damp hair,
tourmaline works to ionize and alkalise moisture, and provides
antibacterial and deodorant qualities.
