This function releases negative ions during use. These ions help break down water molecules on hair, reducing drying time and sealing the hair cuticle. This results in smoother, shinier hair with less frizz and static, making hair more manageable and healthier-looking.
This hair dryer incorporates ionic technology, which is designed to release negative ions during use. These ions help to break down water molecules on the hair surface, leading to faster drying times. Additionally, they work to seal the hair cuticle, effectively reducing frizz and static while enhancing the hair's natural shine and smoothness for a polished finish.
A dedicated button that immediately provides a burst of cool air. It's typically used at the end of the drying process, after styling with heat, to set the hairstyle in place. This helps to lock in your desired style, add shine, and close the hair cuticles, ensuring your hairstyle lasts longer and appears polished.
A dedicated cold shot button is included, providing an instant burst of cool air. This feature is essential for setting your hairstyle once it's dry and styled with heat. By rapidly cooling the hair, it helps to lock in your desired look, add lasting shine, and close the hair cuticles, ensuring your blowout or style holds its shape throughout the day.
The handle of the hair dryer can be folded into a compact shape. This is useful for saving space when storing the hair dryer at home, in a small bathroom, or when packing it for travel in luggage. It makes the hair dryer highly portable and easy to store, fitting into smaller spaces and simplifying packing for trips, making it a convenient choice for frequent travelers or those with limited storage.
This hair dryer does not feature a folding handle. While this design choice contributes to a sturdy and potentially more durable build, it means the dryer will occupy more space during storage or when packed for travel. Users prioritizing compact storage or extreme portability for frequent travel might find this a minor inconvenience.
Allows the user to select from several distinct heat levels, rather than just basic hot/cold. This function is used to tailor the heat intensity to different hair types or styling needs, such as lower heat for fine or damaged hair, or higher heat for thick hair. It provides versatile styling options and helps prevent heat damage by allowing precise control over the drying temperature, ensuring optimal care for your hair.
The dryer offers multiple heat settings as part of its 'six heat/speed options,' allowing users to select the appropriate temperature for their hair type and styling needs. This versatility is crucial for preventing heat damage on fine or delicate hair, while providing sufficient heat for faster drying of thicker hair, ensuring optimal care and styling results for a wide range of users.
Comes with a specialized attachment with finger-like prongs that disperses the airflow evenly. This attachment is primarily used for drying curly or wavy hair, to enhance natural curls and add volume without causing frizz. It helps to maintain the natural curl pattern and volume of your hair, preventing frizz and promoting a softer, more defined look, especially for textured hair types.
A diffuser attachment is included with this hair dryer, specifically designed to gently disperse airflow. This attachment is ideal for individuals with curly or wavy hair, as it helps to enhance natural curl patterns, add volume, and reduce frizz without disturbing the hair's natural texture. It promotes a softer, more defined look for textured hair types.
Enables the user to control the speed of the airflow, offering different settings from gentle to powerful. This is useful for various drying stages: a lower speed for delicate or precision styling, and a higher speed for quickly drying larger sections of hair. It provides greater control over the drying process, allowing for more precise styling and gentler drying for sensitive hair, or quicker drying when time is short, catering to diverse hair needs and preferences.
This hair dryer provides adjustable airflow settings as part of its 'six heat/speed options,' allowing users to control the intensity of the air. This feature is beneficial for various drying stages, from a gentle flow for delicate styling or precision work to a powerful blast for quickly drying larger sections of hair. It offers greater control over the drying process, adapting to different hair care routines.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
The Hot Tools Pro Artist Black Gold 2100 Turbo Ceramic + Ionic Hair Dryer is positioned as an accessible option in the mid-range price segment, offering key features like ionic and ceramic technology. While its 1875-watt motor provides sufficient airflow for effective drying and styling, it lacks the advanced high-speed brushless motor found in higher-end models, resulting in slower drying times. A significant concern is its predicted usage period and durability, as multiple customer reviews highlight recurring issues with switches getting stuck or the unit failing prematurely, suggesting a potentially short lifespan. Despite its performance in main use cases for frizz reduction and styling versatility, the reliability issues are a notable drawback.
