Professional salon blow dryers typically range from 1400 to 2000 watts, providing sufficient airflow and heat to dry hair efficiently.
An ionic blow dryer reduces frizz primarily by:
Answer: Emitting negative ions that break down water molecules faster
Negative ions emitted by ionic dryers attract and break apart positively charged water molecules, speeding drying time and reducing static and frizz.
Keratin smoothing treatments should NOT be applied over hair that has been:
Answer: Permanently waved within the past 2 weeks
Applying a keratin treatment over freshly permed hair can over-process the already chemically softened bonds, causing severe damage or breakage.

Storing shears in a closed case or pouch protects the blade edge from damage and prevents accidental cuts during breaks between clients.

Mousse contains polymers that lightly coat hair strands, creating a film that adds body and volume when the hair is dried with heat.
