Give them the gift of gorgeous hair without having to shell out weekly for an expensive blowout. This dryer is definitively a cut above the rest and almost space-age in its efficiency. It uses something called "IQ Technology," which effectively detects humidity levels in the air to adjust heat levels and airflow — we're talking about a serious technological advantage that those $40 hair dryers just can't touch. What this amounts to is shorter, more efficient drying time — and because it's distributing a more customized blast, hair sustains far less damage. That equals healthier, glossier hair with less frizz and fewer flyaways.
