Overview
A bathroom vanity or a salon station suits this CHI dryer, whose volcanic lava and ceramic heater gives gentle, even heat. Negative ions smooth frizz, and three locking attachments cover sleek, precise and curly styles.
Styling at lower temperatures with less damage is the reason to choose it, and the diffuser is included for curls. The wattage is modest, so very thick hair will need more time.
Who it's for
People worried about heat damage who want smooth, shiny blowouts will appreciate the lower-heat approach. Those prioritizing raw speed on dense hair should look at higher wattage.
Pros and cons
- Gentle, even ceramic heat

Performance notes
The lava ceramic heater spreads heat evenly, so hair dries at a lower temperature with fewer hot spots. Lower power means slower drying, which the concentrator offsets by focusing airflow on each section.
