Jury's Evaluation

That reminds me that when I dry my hair with a hair dryer, I lift it up with my hand to dry it. When I split my hair apart with my hand and dry it with air from the dryer, I find that it takes less time and it damages the hair less. This hand technique is replaced by a structure with four supply openings. This idea comes from the drape flow, a technique used by hair stylists. It has improved the weakness of two supply openings, and can be used vertically and horizontally, which is entirely new. Also, in addition to plasma cluster function, it has the function to sense the distance from the hair, and reduce the thermal damage. It also has cosmetic effects to the hair. The LED light system makes it possible to intuitively recognize modes for children with reduced heat and air exposure, for the scalp and so on. In the dryer category, which is called mature home appliance, a product is created based on fluid dynamics, which has been used for the first time in Japan since Dyson. This beautiful and innovative product is highly evaluated.
