I still don't understand the 2 different ionic settings. I have naturally curly hair which takes me forever to dry. Can anyone tell me the difference

Start with the Neutral (Blue light) setting until hair is almost completely dry then finish up with the Negative Ion (Green light) setting for added shine. The easiest way to remember what setting to start and finish with are to think of the colors in alphabetical order, Blue before Green.

Those two components have nothing to do with a healthy blow dry they make a difference in the end result. Ceramic is an element used in the body of the hair dryer its the heating element. Ionic helps break up the water in your hair and push it out, for a smoother finish and faster blow dry time. All of these components together make your hair sleek and shiny as well as. Tourmaline's main benefit is that it drys your hair faster. I hope this helps.

Sorry, I don't know what an ionic dryer is. This is just a regular dryer with only two settings, high and low.

It is ceramic-do not know what is meant by "ionic"-it blows your hair dry at the same time it is curling it

This blow dryer is amazing. It has the option to turn on or off the ionic blowing drying componet. When I use blow drying with the ions turned on I notice my hair has less frizz and it blow drys ALOT quicker. I live in hawaii and frizz is common with humidity. However this blow dryer takes care of that problem for me. It does come with two concentrator attachments. I did do a comparison of my old chi blowdryer (130.00) and this one. 2 diff days/ wet hair no product and the this one dried my whole head in under 10 mins but I spent almost 23 mins with my chi. Hope that helps

I returned this dryer because it didn't style my hair. It made it look wind blown. I opted instead for a Bi Ionic dryer instead and love it.

That is a close description of what I do and my hair type, and they didn't work for me. I live in north Texas where the humidity is not low. I think that has quite a bit to do with it. I think if you live in a very dry area you stand a better chance of it working. When I say they didn't work, I mean not even a tiny bit, rollers in, rollers left in for 30 minutes, rollers out, NOTHING, limp hair.

I really can't answer it, I have the one which also ionized hair, my hair are much less frizzy and shiny, without using straight iron. I got a lot damage using straight iron. Highly recommend this product. Usually is enough for me to put rolles, then do make up, by the time I'm done with it, my hair are ready too.I'm not sure, if I answered your question, I don't know the other model.Have Happy Holidays...

Not ceramic or ionic. Have short hair style but still us a hand held dryer to dry a few minutes before finishing up with the styling brush.

I have short hair, so cannot answer to the length of hair, but my hair is very thick and the Nano dries my hair completely ina short time. I like it better than my full-sized dryer, which can often over-dry my hair. It would be nice to have a coolsetting on the Nano, but I just use the low setting to finish the drying. My sister, who has longer, thicker hair than mine,said she would buy it when her current dryer gives up. Hope this helps.

My daughter has hair that sounds similar to yours, and she prefers to air dry, but it takes a long time, so she'll use this on her hair, instead. It works better than any other system in forming a nice curl with a minimum of frizz. I use it too, and agree it is the best dryer system for curly hair, but I have short hair, so my drying time is quicker than it would be if it were longer. I dry in stages, because I refuse to stand for longer than 5 minutes at a time with a hand held dryer. It's boring and tiresome. So, I first dry out the drips, which takes about 2 minutes, go do something else for 10 minutes, and then go back and dry another 5. My hair will still be damp at this point , but, again, I'll go do something else for a bit, then, give my hair another round for another and final 5 minutes, maybe a little longer. All told, actual hand held dryer time for me is about 15 minutes. My guess is with this dryer, it will take you and extra 5 minutes. After all this, I do recommend this product and so does my daughter , we have both used this system for years.

I have this hair dryer. I, also, have thick coarse hair, which is mid back length. LOVE this hair dryer. Best one I've owned! I have not tried the Ionic feature, but this is the hair dryer used at one of the best blow out salons in the Twin Cities!

I have the ion smooth and I love it! makes my hair smooth and soft but doesn't kill all of my volume! Hope you like it!

My hair is thick and course and very wavy, and it works for me. They heat up VERY quickly, and I blow dry my hair first, so I put them in my hair as soon as they are ready, but manual says if you need to, let them heat a little longer, and leave them in until they are cool, but I don't have to do that. If you don't like hot rollers, the only alternative is a flat iron. I prefer the rollers. I use them to smooth out my hair and turn it under at the bottom, also have bangs, but they would certainly work for curls to a certain extent, but this set is the set with larger rollers for more body or smoothness, rather than curls. Set with some smaller rollers would work better for tighter curls. My hair is thick and course and very wavy, and it works for me.

The diffuser works as fine as any other diffuser I have ever used. I don't have real curly hair it is more of a slight curl/heavy wave. I liked the diffuser just fine. I wouldn't buy this hair dryer again only because it shot sparks out the back when I was using it. I had been using it about 8 months by that point. I dIdnt use it daily - probably 2 or 3 times a week. Hope this helps!

This is a basic hair dryer, that does not have an ion setting. I also have curly hair! For a natural look I would use some kind of texturizing cream or maybe a mousse for thin hair and blow dry with low heat and low air flow. Use the diffuser and dry in small sections at a time. Try not to blow the hair around a lot, to avoid frizz. L.A. Looks gel to mousse is VERY reasonably priced and I have found works just as well, if not better, than any of the fancy stuff! Put it in wet hair and then scrunch dry with a towel, then follow the steps for drying. Good luck! Hope this helped! :)
