Both Andis and BaByliss make top-rated hair dryers, so if you’re looking for a cheap, travel, lightweight, or high-end ceramic, tourmaline, or high-end appliance, you can be sure that both companies make quite a range. full of good quality dryers. But what is the best ionic hair dryer?

If you are looking to buy a new hair dryer, make sure it is ionic. Traditional blow dryers will dry your hair well, but they do produce a lot of positive ions. They are positively charged particles that have been shown to open the cuticle, giving hair that split ends, or that ‘blow-dried’, ‘frizzy’ look. Negative ions, on the other hand, are good for hair. Negative ions seal the cuticle making hair shinier and healthier. They also break down the water droplets into much smaller droplets that evaporate more easily, reducing drying time, and the water droplets can also be absorbed into the hair shaft, hydrating the hair and giving it a finish. smooth, shiny and elegant.

Andis has a long history of making hair care products and still designs and manufactures its product in the US The company probably makes more models of hair dryers than anyone else, from wall mounted to model. Travel. The company has been quick to produce a range of ionic hair dryers and the Andis Colorwaves Pro 1875 Tourmaline Ionic AC is an excellent and popular appliance.

BaByliss is actually a subdivision of Conair and its range of appliances is designed in France. The BaByliss Ionic Thermal Dryer is a bestseller.

So how do these two gadgets compare?

In price, the Andis wins out, costing only about two-thirds the cost of the BaByliss. If cost is a consideration, you could do a lot worse than choosing Colorwaves Pro. While they both come with a concentrator nozzle, the Colorwaves Pro also comes with a Pick, which some may find useful. However, the BaByliss concentrator is made of ceramic, which is better.

The BaByliss may cost more, but you get a lot more for your money. For example, the Andis hair dryer comes with a 1875 watt AC motor, which is more powerful than most, but the BaByliss Thermal Ionic comes with an impressive 2000 watts of power.

Plus you get more heat settings. The Andis comes with 2 speed and 2 heat settings, while the BaByliss comes with 3 heat and 3 speed settings; the high heat setting is very hot.

Using both dryers I found that I didn’t like the position of the heat / speed buttons on the Andis – they are on the side of the handle, which is fine if you’re right-handed, but if you’re left-handed, I could easily figure out how to turn them on / Accidentally turning them off could be a problem, until you get used to using it I guess. The BaByliss buttons are located on the front of the handle, making it much easier to use. Both models feature the cool fire button on the front of the handle.

In general, the BaByliss hair dryer is better, however if you want to save a few bucks, you don’t care where the buttons are on the handle and you don’t need a very hot temperature setting then the Andis hair dryer. it would be a perfectly good choice.
