What is a Handheld Hair Dryer?
A handheld hair dryer is an electric styling tool that blows ambient or heated air to accelerate water evaporation from hair strands. These devices have evolved from basic drying tools to sophisticated styling instruments featuring ionic technology, ceramic heating elements, and variable heat/speed settings. Modern iterations focus on hair health preservation while delivering professional-grade results previously only achievable in salons.
The market has witnessed significant technological breakthroughs in recent years, most notably:
- Dyson’s Supersonic technology (2016) revolutionizing airflow dynamics
- Panasonic’s nanoe™ ion technology for reduced heat damage
- Cordless innovations from brands like T3 Micro
