The combination of ionic and Tourmaline-Ceramic technology is intended to help leave hair smooth and glossy while controlling frizz. The 2200W power supports quick drying, making this a practical choice when you want to move from towel-dried hair to styling without a lengthy routine. Its lightweight design also makes it easier to handle as you work around the head.

How to use it

Choose a heat and speed setting to suit the section you are drying, then use the concentrator nozzle to direct airflow for more targeted styling. It is useful for everyday blow-drying, whether you are drying your hair before heading out or shaping sections as part of a finished style. The cool shot gives you a cooler airflow option at the end of styling.

Compared with a basic dryer that offers little control over airflow direction, the concentrator helps focus the air on a particular section. That can make it easier to work through hair methodically rather than directing airflow broadly across the whole head. The heat and speed settings offer further control over the drying process, while ionic conditioning focuses on a smoother-looking, shinier finish.

Practical tips

Clear hair and debris from the removable rear filter before use. Keeping the filter clear is a straightforward part of preparing the dryer for airflow. For a more controlled finish, work with the concentrator nozzle and direct it along the section being styled. Adjust the heat and speed settings to suit how you want to dry and shape your hair, and use the cool shot as a cooler finishing airflow.

The different controls make it easy to adapt the dryer to a simple drying routine or a more directed styling approach. If frizz control and shine are priorities, the ionic conditioning is a useful point of difference, if you mainly want to direct airflow while shaping sections, the concentrator is the practical feature to focus on. The three-year guarantee provides additional reassurance for regular use.

Final verdict

The TRESemmé 5542DU brings together 2200W power, ionic and Tourmaline-Ceramic technology, adjustable heat and speed, and a concentrator nozzle in a lightweight hair dryer. It suits everyday drying and at-home styling, particularly if you want the flexibility to direct airflow and aim for a smooth, glossy finish. The removable filter and three-year guarantee round out a useful set of features for a regular hair-care routine.
