Features
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 is equipped with an ionic care function, releasing 3 million high-concentration negative ions per cubic meter. These ions work to break down water molecules on the hair, leading to faster drying times, while also sealing the hair cuticle to significantly reduce frizz by 50% and boost smoothness and shine by 30%.
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 looks polished.
A dedicated cool shot mode is available, activated by a long press of the cool shot button. This feature provides a burst of cool air, which is essential for setting your hairstyle after heat styling, helping to lock in the desired look, add lasting shine, and ensure your hair remains smooth and polished.
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 it is designed to be lightweight and portable for travel and easy storage, the fixed handle prioritizes a sturdy build and consistent ergonomic comfort during use, though it may require slightly more space for packing or storage.
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 three distinct temperature settings: Hot, Warm, and Gentle Wind. These options allow users to customize the heat level according to their hair type and styling needs, from delicate drying to faster results for thicker hair, indicated by blue (gentle), orange (warm), and red (hot) lights for easy monitoring.
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, designed to disperse airflow gently and evenly. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with curly or wavy hair, as it helps to enhance natural curl patterns, add volume, and minimize frizz, promoting a softer, more defined, and healthier-looking finish.
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 features two adjustable speed settings: High and Medium. These options provide control over the intensity of the airflow, allowing users to choose a gentler speed for delicate styling or a more powerful setting for quick drying of larger sections of hair, adapting to various hair care routines.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
The Tresses Touch HD396-BK offers impressive drying speed and ionic benefits at a highly competitive price point. Its 150,000 RPM motor and 36 m/s wind speed deliver quick results, making it efficient for daily use. While it provides good frizz reduction and shine for many, some users with very long, thick, or coarse hair reported issues with tangling or increased frizz, indicating potential limitations for specific hair types. The lightweight design and quiet operation are significant advantages. However, the brand's reliability is a concern, with an 8% lowest quality rating and reports of units failing within 8 months, suggesting potential durability issues. It positions itself as an affordable high-speed alternative, but long-term reliability might be a trade-off.
