PHILIPS BHD399 3000 HAIR DRYER - 8100W

• The model number is BHD399/00 and it belongs to the Philips “3000 Series” of hair dryers. 

• According to the official spec sheet, it uses 1800 W power (not 8100 W) — “Strong and fast drying … 1800 W power is specifically adjusted for Asian hair quality.” 

• Key features:

  • Mineral Ionic Care: releases mineral ions (zinc containing) intended to lower UV damage and smooth hair. 

  • “50 million ions” system to help fight frizz and enhance shine.

  • Caring temperature setting to prevent overheating/heat damage.

  • 3 heat & speed settings + cool-air shot + a “quick dry mode” (one click) in some specs. 

  • Comes with a double-layer nozzle and 1.6 m cord length. 

 Key Benefits

• Effective drying: With 1800 W of power, it hits a sweet spot between efficacy and safe heat for many hair types — especially useful for everyday home use.

• Frizz / shine improvement: The ionic + mineral-ionic features help tame static and frizz, giving smoother, shinier results.

• Temperature-safety features: The “caring temperature” and cool-air finish help reduce heat damage — a plus for frequent styling.

• User-friendly controls: Multiple settings plus a dedicated quick‐dry/cool finish mode make styling easier and more flexible.

• Brand reliability: Philips offers worldwide 2-year warranty (per spec sheet) and good service network in India. 

 How to Use It

1. Prep your hair

   • Towel-dry until hair is damp, not dripping.

   • Consider applying a heat-protectant spray if styling regularly or if hair is fine/damaged.

   • Detangle loosely as needed.

2. Select your setting

   • For thicker/dryer hair: use higher heat + speed initially.

   • For fine/delicate hair: use lower heat to avoid damage.

   • At the end, use the cool air shot to lock your style and reduce heat exposure.

3. Drying & styling technique

   • Hold the dryer about ~10-15 cm from your hair and keep moving it laterally rather than holding in one spot.

   • Use the nozzle to direct airflow down the shaft (root → tip) to smooth the cuticle.

   • Once hair is mostly dry, switch to cool air to finish.

4. After use & care

   • Unplug and let the unit cool.

   • Clean the air intake grill occasionally (dust/hair buildup reduces performance).

   • Loosely loop the power cord; avoid kinks.

   • Store in a dry, safe place.
