Overall, ceramic dryers are better for fine hair. Ionic dryers can sometimes dry the hair too quickly, leaving fine hair looking flat and lifeless. Ceramic dryers are capable of drying hair more slowly and evenly, which can be a benefit when you’re looking to lock in volume. That being said, modern hair dryers often include a wide variety of settings, and may even combine ionic and ceramic technology. By configuring settings that are right for your specific hair type, you should be able to make many different hair dryers work for your fine hair. It’s all about learning what heat and power settings work best for you.
