While the very recent Cosmoprof which has just ended was the stage for the launch of the latest hairdryer designed for professionals at home Dyson: model Supersonic r™ with dimensions and weight reduced by 30% and 20% compared to the Dyson Supersonic™ hairdryer, features that make it even more manageable and easy to use.

Panasonic, EH-NA0J

In 1937, in times of war, Panasonic launched its first wartime hair dryer. Over decades of technological evolution, it has then introduced ion devices and hairdryers which, using Nanoe technology, emit hydrating nanoparticles. The latest addition to the Japanese brand but it has something more. Technology nanoe™ absorbs and transforms humidity in the environment to generate micro particles of water in the hot air flow. These particles, nanometrically more structured than the well-known “ions” supplied in other haircare technologies, are able to penetrate the hair, hydrating it from the depths.

Clearly it leaves a silky finish thanks to the fact that the motor generates tiny negative electrostatic charges which eliminate the positive ones, i.e. static electricity from the stems, closing the cuticles. Forward the brilliance of the color is also preserved, both from styling damage and from physiological deterioration.

The extra something: as well as providing the function Scalp Care (the air flow is set to a lower temperature to dry the roots without the risk of burns or stress to the scalp) and the Hair Tip Care designed for drying and styling the ends, it is the button that conquers Skins. Not just haircare, the hairdryer becomes skin care: the beneficial microparticles of water atoms with an electrostatic charge in the air, in fact, ensure a hydration boost for the skin too. To enhance the effect of creams and serums, all you need to do is direct the flow onto your face. In short, the flow can also be directed on the face to penetrate and stabilize creams, serums and mists.
