TriBalance Ion Hair Dryer

TriBalance Ion™ Achieves Moisturized, Manageable, Shiny Hair

TriBalance Ion™ is a revolutionary technology that redesigns conventional discharge mechanisms to emit both negative and positive ions. Each ion works on the hair to suppress static electricity—a major cause of frizz and damage—while adding shine and increasing moisture retention. This balanced ion system delivers TESCOM's three elements of beautiful hair: moisture, manageability, and shine.

With TriBalance Ion™, the hair dryer delivers impressive results: approximately 17% increase in moisture, 39% improvement in manageability, and 19% enhancement in shine (according to TESCOM's measurement and comparison methods).

TriBalance Ion™ also suppresses split ends and breakage by approximately 72% while reducing static electricity by about 99% (according to TESCOM's measurement and comparison methods).

TriBalance Ion Technology Results

Stable Drying Performance from Professional-Grade Design

The dryer features a sirocco fan and motor developed for professional use. The turbine-like multi-blade fan structure delivers stable air pressure and velocity, thoroughly drying hair from the roots.

The included Set Blow Hood™ uses TESCOM's unique design, allowing you to sandwich hair between the hood and brush for stable self-blowdrying like a professional stylist.

Note: Do not touch during or immediately after use due to high temperatures. Use heat-resistant plastic brushes (heat resistance of 120°C or higher recommended). Natural bristle, wooden, or metal brushes cannot be used. Pressing the hood too firmly against the brush may deform the pins.

Minimal functionality enhances the hair drying experience. The cool shot switch enables one-touch switching between hot and cold air, positioned for easy pressing while gripping. The airflow switch features a simple, user-friendly design.

The dryer employs a more durable filter compared to conventional models, making maintenance easy and allowing simple water washing.

The easy-pull plug allows simple removal—just press the lever to unplug from the outlet.

Professional-grade design standards ensure reliability with a two-year warranty. This Japan-made product undergoes TESCOM's rigorous manufacturing and quality control.

Developed through extensive research with professional hairstylists, the body shape features a slim grip comfortable even for smaller hands and well-balanced weight distribution for easy handling during drying.

Available in three elegant matte finishes—Smoky Grey, Black, and White Ash—the minimalist design complements any interior décor.
