The Laifen SE 2 is the latest model in Laifen’s SE line of high-speed hair dryers. What distinguishes the SE 2 from the original SE is its faster motor and smarter heat control, which let you dry your hair more quickly while better limiting heat damage. The result is a dryer that shortens your routine without pushing your hair through unnecessary high heat. Although the SE 2 keeps all the fundamental features that have made this line popular, the upgrades make it a quicker and gentler version of the original.
Right now, you can get the Laifen SE 2 on Laifen’s official website for $90 when you apply the code PRPD at checkout, down from the $150 list price for a 40% discount.
A hair dryer that offers salon-quality styling at home
The SE 2 is powered by a brushless motor that reaches up to 108,000 RPM. It delivers a powerful, steady stream of air, so a thorough dry takes only a few minutes. Laifen built this version to outpace the original SE, and the gain shows up every time you dry your hair. Even at full power, the SE 2 keeps noise in check and avoids the harsh whine that many dryers produce.
Heat control is where the SE 2 makes its biggest improvement over the original. Temperature Cycling Mode keeps the air from overheating to the point of damaging your hair. It continuously adjusts the temperature as you dry to prevent hair damage. An LED ring on the handle shows your current heat setting. The dryer also uses negative ion technology that smooths frizz and brings back shine as your hair dries.
The SE 2 is light in the hand, which makes a difference during longer styling sessions when arm fatigue tends to set in. Two magnetic nozzles snap onto the front. The smooth nozzle keeps airflow controlled for frizz-free drying, while the diffuser spreads the airflow to add definition to curls. A Child Mode is also built in. It lowers the heat and airflow to a gentler level for drying a kid’s hair.
The SE 2 is not dual-voltage, so if you travel internationally, it will not switch between 110V and 220V, even with an adapter. It comes with the smooth and diffuser nozzles, so if you want a concentrator for more targeted styling, you would need to step up to Laifen’s Swift Special. The volume-boosting airflow is aimed at finer hair, so if yours is very thick or coarse, a higher-powered model in the lineup may suit you better.
At $90 with the code PRPD, the Laifen SE 2 is a meaningful discount on Laifen’s upgraded high-speed dryer. Pick one up on Laifen’s official website while the discount lasts for faster drying than the original SE.
