Everybody knows what a hair dryer is, but consumers today are confused when they hear the wide variety of hair dryers by names such as ionic, titanium, ceramic and tourmaline to name a few. Even though, the difference is all about technology and pieces used in their manufacturing contributing to drying the hair faster while reducing the damage for excessive heat exposure. since some people tend to use their hair dryers for long periods of time, including hair drying and styling, while others use the appliance for a shorter period of time, but on a daily basis twice or more times a day, the variety in hair dryers has changed to compensate for the damage done.
Whenever you hear about a tourmaline hair dryer, keep in mind that such an appliance has a semi-precious gemstone in its manufacturing. Tourmaline in nature is a trigonal crystal silicate mineral that comes in different colors as is resulting from a compound of potassium, iron, lithium, aluminum, sodium, and magnesium.
These prismatic crystals are used in hair dryers not only to reduce the exposure to heat by reducing the drying time, but also to promote a healthy shiny hair because the gemstone in combination with the warm air provides minerals that nourish your hair.
Although a tourmaline hair dryer can be sold as is, many manufacturers combine tourmaline with other technologies for better results, with the difference beginning with the price. A professional class hair dryer will always be costly when compared with hair dryers that can be purchased for a fraction of the cost; however, a professional appliance will last for years and might be well worth the investment.
On the other hand, some people use hair dryers very rarely, but even then a regular tourmaline hair dryer can do the same job as any another hair dryer of professional quality, difference in price is mostly related to its performance an drying power and not about the quality of the gemstone.
Technically speaking, a tourmaline hair dryer works similar to that of an ionic hair dryer and it is usually offered in combination as a superior hair drying technology. A tourmaline hair dryer comes with tourmaline-coated coils that emit negative ion charges with microscopic mineral properties.
Like ionic hair dryers, the negative ion charge emitted by tourmaline hair dryers over the hair shaft is capable to break down water molecules into small particles that evaporate faster than using a regular hair dryer, hence reducing heat exposure considerable.
It is well known that heat can dry out your hair, including over-exposure to the sun and abuse of hair styling appliance that literally boils off its internal moisture. Because heat weakens and destroys the proteins of hair, a tourmaline hair dryer is a good alternative to keep healthy hair and enjoy drying and styling it.
A tourmaline hair dryer also uses infrared technology so it will not disrupt the hairs natural oil, thus there is no chance for split or broken ends, because it seals the natural moisture of the hair shaft and penetrates gently if compared with direct heat, because infrared delivers heat directly to the hair shaft, not to the hair surface.
