shiny. This model permits the user to adjust the proportion of ions in the air stream in accordance with their own hair type and preference.
So, that's the gimmick which as far as I'm aware is unique to VidalSassoon, and it works. Not only does the hair look and feel better but it also dries significantly faster with the ions turned on than without.
