Understanding the need of the market and the customers, the new hair dryer provides results as per the mood and requirement of the consumer.

Making it easy to carry and store with minimum space, this hair dryer is rooted in ergonomics; making the hold easy and well-balanced.

Mr. Manish Sharma, President and CEO, Panasonic India & South Asia, said, “Our personal care products are designed to add value to everything that compliments an individual’s personality besides regular products. From the feature of faster speed to carefully picking up the temperature for what suits your hair best, Panasonic knows how Indians are heavily spending on grooming lately and is essentially coming at par with other countries with respect to the wide range of beauty products available. These two products are our vision to provide a blend of subtle simplicity and fashion to our consumers.
