Introduction
The Philips Pro range has been developed to offer you the best performance, whilst still taking care of your hair. We have been working together with leading stylists to learn what makes a product professional for consumers and to develop products accordingly. The Philips Pro dryer with 2300W for fast drying with 25% less damage when drying your hair - made possible by the innovative and unique Style & Protect Concentrator (patent-pending), that avoids overheating of the hair whilst keeping the same great styling performance. We hope you will enjoy using the Pro dryer for a long time!
Style & Protect Concentrator: The innovative and unique Style & Protect Concentrator has been invented to allow precise styling of the hair with a 6mm concentrator while at the same time caring for the hair. When styling the hair with a thin concentrator, it gets very close to the hair, sometimes touching the hair. Heat of up to 180°C builds up and is damaging the hair by overheating. The Style & Protect concentrator forces the flap to open when the hair gets too hot, dissolving excessive heat and improving styling performance.
