Hair Dryer Ratings

Are ionic hair dryers safe?

In need of a new hairdryer, I have searched far and wide (on the world wide web that is) for the perfect one. I've been looking for something that has a lot of options (like different heat and speed settings). Throught my search, I have come across many, many ionic dryers. Most of them sounded like something I might want to buy, but then I came across something that said this: "Ion ozone is toxic: Ion Electrostatic precipitators release small doses of ozone as a byproduct, ozone is toxic and can eat away at the tissue of your lungs. ". So now I wonder: is this a fraud, or should I stick with ceramic? I like what I've read about how ions can help your hair, but seriously, if the ozone thing is true, I don't want my dryer to be the death of me! ^_^

1. I have an inonic hairdryer and it works the same as a normal hairdryer.
2. After reading your question and the following website, I decided NOT to buy a ionic hair dryer and to buy a ceramic one instead. I like the idea of negative ions, but I don't like the idea of ozone emission. I'm no expert on this subject, but I'd rather stay on the cautious side. Thank you for bringing the ozone issue to my attention. ... P.S. I bought the BaByliss Pro Ceramix Xtreme hair dryer for $39.95. Hope the following website helps. http://www.ionicbeautyproducts.com/ionic-air-purifiers.htm
