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. No answers to this question yet except to hypothesize that while a little bit of poison won ' t kill you, it probably still isn ' t a great idea to ingest minute amounts of it on a regular basis. But wait, science isn ' t ever that simple. Well the ion controversy isn ' t solved by any means either.
Scientists also recognize a phenomenon known as the A ion effect paradox.
This notion clearly suggests that modest overdoses of positive ions can temporarily be good for people. Why not produce a hair dryer that generates a negative ionic charge that stimulates health. Great idea, but it that this has already been done and these machines did not produce positive results on peoples' hair. I don ' t know whether positive ion generating hair dryers are good for you or bad for you. In fact, at this point in time I suspect that nobody else has the definitive answer either.
