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 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.
