CHI has launched the new CHI LAVA PRO Hair Dryer, featuring its signature CHI LAVA Ceramic technology. This dryer offers an LCD digital temperature display, three removable magnetic attachments, four precise heat settings, and three speed settings — all while weighing less than 1lb.
Its unique shape provides a straight shot of air, which reduces drying time using less electricity, while producing a stronger air flow (up to 110,000 rpm/min). While on, the dryer then emits around 50 million negative ions. Paired with CHI LAVA minerals and ceramic, it offers gentle, consistent heat at lower temperatures.
The CHI LAVA PRO Hair Dryer is also self-cleaning. To activate the autocleaning session, take off the back filter cage attachment and hold down the cool shot button for 3 seconds.
