Infrared heat dries hair from the inside out, so you get to dry faster at a lower temperature. Less heat, less damage, same result — that's the whole point of infrared.
Lighter and quieter than the Power Performance, with smart heat regulation that keeps it from scorching one spot while you work through a section. Comes with concentrator nozzle and diffuser.
Amanda's Thoughts: This is the one I recommend to most people. Unless your hair is genuinely thick and past your shoulders, this dryer does everything the $320 one does and saves you $130. Don't let anyone upsell you out of it.
 
How to Use: Apply heat protectant first. Work in manageable sections and select the lowest effective heat setting for your hair.
 
Pairs Best With: Perfect Defense heat protectant and Oil Treatment for shine after styling.
