Philips HP4899/01, Manual

Page: 4 / 82

Introduction
Natural, healthy looking hair contains around 15% moisture. Scientific
tests have shown that drying at a too high temperature can lead to
overdrying, in which case the moisture level of the hair falls below the
natural level of 15%. Hair that has been overdried feels coarse and dry
and looks dull and frizzy. It is static and difficult to manage. Whereas
normal hairdryers can heat up the hair to very high temperatures, the
Philips Hydraprotect Salon hairdryer has been specially designed to
avoid heating up your hair too much without increasing the drying time.
The Hydraprotect sensor technology allows you to dry your hair in a
gentle way, reducing the risk of overdrying and/or overheating it and
thus keeping your hair healthy, soft and shiny.
