Three major types of hair dryers are there: ionic, ceramic and tourmaline. Ionic dryers utilize negative ions to shrink water droplets in the hair. Manufacturers claim this dries wet hair faster with less heat damage. Ceramic dryers contain ceramic coils. Unlike metal, this material is said to self-regulate to prevent overheating. Finally, tourmaline, a gemstone typically added to the heater of hair dryers, is thought to generate a higher number of negative ions than regular ionic dryers. Travel hair dryers also can be smart buys, since hotels do not always have dryers.
