Dryness and prolonged heat exposure are two of your hair's greatest enemies, which is why a lot of people will avoid using a hair dryer after showering. It also just kinda sucks to hold one of those things up in the air for half an hour.

However, modern advances in hair dryer technology have been developed to help with this otherwise tedious and time-consuming task. The Panasonic Nanoe is a perfect example.

Rather than simply dumping a bunch of hot air on your head, the Nanoe makes use of a special technology that draws moisture from the air and electrostatically atomizes it into nano-sized, moisture-rich particles (aka “nanoe,” plural) that penetrate hair shafts much more effectively than the regular ions produced by most other dryers.

The result of all this moisture infusion is shinier, smoother hair that's less frizzy or damaged-looking. It also happens to be good for the skin, so your scalp will thank you too.

Another unique feature your hair and scalp will appreciate is the removable oscillating nozzle attachment, which helps keep your head cool as it moves back and forth (no more hot spots!) yet dries your hair faster and more gently than typical dryers do. Plus, it makes it so you don't have to move the thing around as much, which is great.
