Fast, flawless hair is now possible with the launch of Laifen’s two professional quality hair dryers the SE 2 and Mini in Australia. The affordable and powerful hair dryers offer ultra fast drying and styling without excessive heat, to keep hair healthy, shiny and smooth.

SE 2: Dry Faster, Style Better

The SE 2 is a statement piece that performs as good as it looks. The next generation of professional high speed hair dryers is powerful, stylish and lightweight, delivering an enhanced hair care experience.

The upgraded specs including a three phase brushless motor has a max speed of 108,000 RPMs and delivers an impressive airspeed of up to 21.5 m/s, so it can dry short hair in just one minute or long hair in five minutes.
