Positive Ions Positive ions, on the other hand, work against our health, happiness, and well-being. Positive ions are produced in huge numbers by the so-called A witch winds around the globe including, the Santa Ana in California, Chinook in Canada and parts of the U.S., and the Foehn in Munich. Most of us don ' t need to concern ourselves with the witch winds, however. What we do have to concern ourselves with is the fact that most heating and cooling systems, the interior of our car, synthetic clothing, and yes our hair dryers produce an abundance of positive ions. Here's the punch line.
Several firms have just unleashed hair dryers that produce ionic conditioning.
Purportedly, research indicates that if you dry an individual ' s head with a regular hair dryer on one side and then use a positive ionic dryer on the other side, the side dried with the ionic dryer will almost always be shinier, softer, and smoother. Moreover, the ionic side will help eliminate frizz and flyaway ends. Finally, ionic dryers work faster than your everyday garden variety of blow dryer and tightens the cuticle layer of the hair causing it to look better. As a therapist and an educated consumer several key issues come to mind. I mean, most people only use a hair dryer for a brief period of time and these new machines are purportedly even faster than their non-ionic counterparts.
