Elchim 3900 Healthy Ionic hairdryer review

An international best seller for the past 30 years, Italian brand Elchim offers innovative and durable hair tools that promise optimum results. Exclusive to Salons Direct, the Elchim 3900 Healthy Ionic hairdryer is the most powerful in its category – and we were delighted to try it out!

The shiny, black hairdryer arrived well-packaged, along with two concentrator nozzles, ideal for creating straight and voluminous blow dries, and a handy catalogue advertising additional products from Salons Direct. The stylish, contemporary design of the Elchim was pleasing to the eye, simple to navigate and comfortable to hold.

The Elchim 3900 features 2200-2400 watts with two speed and four heat settings – including a cold shot button and super-hot setting – which ensured a rapid drying time whilst closing hair cuticles, producing a beautifully smooth, glossy finish. Our locks also looked nourished and healthy, thanks to the special ionic ceramic system that guards against electrostatic charges.

This hairdryer was both lightweight and compact – great for travelling – and the built-in silencer highly effective. In addition, the salon-length cord was really practical, eminently suitable for professionals, whilst its high pressure and superior air flow make it ideal for all hair types.

We were also lucky enough to test the complementary Cocoon 2 in 1 Diffuser 3900. Its innovative design was immediately appealing as the two components can be superposed for fast drying of the scalp, as well as the ends. The volume and soft waves this tranquil attachment created were very pleasing; drying time was also shorter than usual, even when the diffuser was used on the lowest heat setting. Priced at just £8.50, you will not be disappointed.
