I am a hair dresser and all the tools, (blow-dryers, brushes, combs, irons, 
etc.) are now labeled ionic and/or ceramic. I have heard that ionic hair 
dryers are faster as they break water down faster and also that it forces 
water into the hair shaft creating more moisture. Is this the truth? What is 
the real advantage of ionic/ceramic technology in cosmetology? Thanks
