The Panasonic Nanoe EH-NA98 hair dryer: Shine and moisture beyond your mane
In the past, hairdryers were one of the most taken-for-granted items in a person’s home. Sure, it’s a grooming essential yet people never really gave much thought to it. “As long as it blows hot air, it’s good,” a long time friend even mentioned once. That, however, has changed in the past couple of years. Now, blowing hot air just won’t cut it. Take, for example, the Panasonic Nanoe EH-NA98 – the brand’s latest offering.
Not all hair dryers are created equal and this one, in particular, doubles as a self-care and anti-aging tool. Not only does it promise to dry your hair in a speedy fashion, but it also leaves it shinier and moisturized.
It’s also something that you can use on your scalp and your skin to help add and retain moisture, too. This is something that undoubtedly piqued my interest. After all, the less parched my skin and hair feel, the longer it will take for them to show signs of aging.
The science of Nanoe
Panasonic’s patented technology gathers water from the air and uses it – along with negative ions – to create Nanoe droplets and Double Mineral Ions.
These droplets are smaller than steam which makes it easier for Nanoe to penetrate the hair cuticle, moisturize, and seal everything in. Despite being smaller than steam droplets when it comes to size, it packs a lot more when it comes to moisture.
“It’s perfect for people with straight and wavy tresses.”
The secret to shiny, bouncy hair
As mentioned earlier, it has different settings for your skin, scalp, and hair. They are: Hot, Cold, Intelligent Temperature Control Mode (Alternating), Scalp, and Skin. You can easily toggle between its five different modes using the button on the side of the hairdryer. You also get three power levels which can be changed through a sliding switch right at the handle.
I find that for a shiny, frizz-free, and bouncy look, it’s best to begin with the warmest setting. Run your fingers through your tresses as you dry from roots to tips. Once the hair is around 70% dry, activate the Intelligent Temperature Control Mode which will let the dryer alternate between warm and cold air. It does it all by itself – no need to press a button to switch every single time.
Do you really need to use cold air on your hair? You do – and I’m a firm believer in this method supported by stylists and hair experts worldwide. The cold air prevents over-drying and helps seal the moisture in and is proven to bring out the gloss on your strands. Finally, switch to Scalp mode to keep your skin up there moisturized as well. If you’ve been suffering from oily or even dandruff, this should be helpful to regulate the moisture level on your scalp.
Personally, I love using Scalp mode the day after I washed my hair for a healthy refresh. I spray some Batiste dry shampoo on my roots go over them with the hairdryer on medium power. Don’t forget to exfoliate your scalp often so the moisture actually reaches your scalp and roots! I use a silicone shampoo brush every time I wash my hair.
It’s also for your skin
I’m absolutely obsessed with using this on my skin, especially after slapping on some hyaluronic acid on it. If you love using humectants, the Panasonic Nanoe EH-NA98 can increase their effectivity by adding more moisture for it to absorb and bring into your skin.
Pro tip: I even tried using the hairdryer on my skin while putting on makeup. I love using a face mist after each layer – liquids, powders, etc – and using the hairdryer’s skin mode to set each layer made for a longer-lasting makeup look. I did not retouch the whole day and there was no caking at all.
Is the Panasonic Nanoe EH-NA98 your Gadgetmatch?
This hairdryer is great for wash-and-wear cuts. It does the job quickly and leaves you with a professional finish. It will also work well if you want to do a little extra, say styling your hair with a rounded brush for more volume, or for a sleeker look. It comes with a nozzle that helps the airflow to be much more concentrated but it can also be used without. It’s perfect for people with straight and wavy tresses.
For those with curls, it sadly doesn’t come with a diffuser. However, it’s not a deal-breaker. You can still dry you hair with this and retain your ringlets by scrunching up your hair as you go with your fingers. Frizz is definitely kept at bay due to the Nanoe moisture particles.
The Panasonic Nanoe EH-NA98 is not the cheapest hair dryer out there. It is, however, not as expensive as the Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer. So if you’re looking for a more affordable alternative, this is the hairdryer for you. Getting a hairdryer that also prevents damage and keeps your hair healthy can also be a cost-effective route when you think about how much salon treatments for damaged hair are. Ladies with bleached and color-treated hair need this most and would definitely get so much use and benefits out of it.
It’s also great for travelers as even though it might look a little bulky, the Panasonic Nanoe EH-NA98 folds easily from the handle. This makes it easy to stuff it in a bag and stow away in a suitcase.
The Panasonic Nanoe EH-NA98 retails in Germany for EUR 193.98. You can get yours directly from the Panasonic online store or via Amazon.

Dyson is making it very easy to upgrade everything this May
From a three-day takeover at SM Megamall to an exclusive Super Brand Day on Lazada, the brand is bringing its best deals and newest launches together in one compelling window.
If you’ve been quietly adding Dyson products to your wishlist and waiting for the right moment, May is making a rather strong case for itself.
The brand has two major events lined up in quick succession — a one-day sale on Lazada on May 11, followed by a three-day immersive experience at SM Megamall from May 15 to 17 — and together, they cover just about every reason you’d want to upgrade your home or beauty routine.
First stop: Lazada’s Super Brand Day, May 11
Kicking things off is Dyson’s Super Brand Day on Lazada, a one-day event that brings the brand’s most recognisable products together with vouchers worth up to ₱5,000 off, free shipping, and installment options of up to six months.
The floor care lineup leads with some of the sharpest discounts of the sale. The Dyson V8 Slim Fluffy moves from PhP28,900 to PhP19,230 after discounts, while the Dyson WashG1 sees the biggest drop of the day — from PhP45,900 down to PhP31,130, unlocking PhP14,770 in savings on the wet floor cleaner that makes a compelling case against the mop-and-bucket. For those who want both, the wet-and-dry pairing suddenly becomes a very reasonable investment.
Environmental control gets a moment too. The Dyson Cool AM07 tower fan drops from PhP29,500 toPhP20,240 — a saving of up to PhP9,260, and a timely one given the country’s reliably unrelenting heat.
With Mother’s Day arriving on May 11 itself, the hair care lineup feels particularly well-timed. The Dyson Supersonic HD15 in Nickel Copper lands at PhP19,930 from PhP29,900, while the Dyson Airwrap i.d. in Ceramic Patina drops to PhP27,782 from PhP36,900 — the kind of gift that feels equal parts indulgent and practical. The Dyson Airstrait in Ceramic Pink and the Dyson Corrale round out the lineup at PhP26,120 and PhP25,320 respectively.
The full sale is available via the official Dyson LazMall flagship, where vouchers can be accessed ahead of checkout at Dyson’s online storeDyson’s online store.
Then: the Trade to Upgrade experience at SM Megamall, May 15 to 17
For those who prefer to experience the technology in person — or have an old machine they’ve been meaning to do something about — Dyson is transforming the Mega Fashion Hall of SM Megamall into a three-day hub of live demonstrations, expert sessions, and exclusive deals.
The centrepiece is the Trade to Upgrade program, which lets guests bring in their old machines — any brand, working or not — and trade them in for exclusive discounts on Dyson products. It’s a rare opportunity to finally make that long-overdue switch without the full sticker shock.
Each day of the event has its own focus. Day 1 opens with the launch of the Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai, an intelligent floor care innovation with real-time stain detection and precision cleaning capabilities. Dyson Experts will be on hand for live demos throughout the day.
Day 2 shifts to beauty, with the Dyson Supersonic Travel taking centre stage — a smaller, lighter version of the iconic hair dryer that delivers the same performance in a more portable form. Celebrity hairstylists will be running live styling sessions for those curious about what the machine can do.
Day 3 brings a limited-edition drop: the Ceramic Apricot colorway across Dyson’s styling range, alongside masterclasses and guest appearances from top local stylists. Those ready to invest in a full beauty upgrade will also find the Dyson Airwrap i.d. in Ceramic Patina available at up to 30% off through the Trade to Upgrade program — making it one of the more compelling deals of the entire event.
Catch the full experience at the Mega Fashion Hall, SM Megamall, from May 15 to 17, 2026.

Dyson’s latest bundle is the power couple your floors have been waiting for
The answer to the wet-and-dry cleaning problem most of us have quietly accepted as just ‘life’
There’s a particular kind of domestic frustration that doesn’t get talked about enough: the moment you finish vacuuming, look down at your gleaming hard floors, and realize they still need mopping. Two tools. Two routines. One slightly deflated sense of accomplishment. Dyson, apparently, has been paying attention.
For a limited time, the brand is bundling two of its machines into a single, rather attractive package — the Dyson WashG1™ wet floor cleaner and the Dyson V8™ Slim cordless vacuum — positioning them as the complete answer to the wet-and-dry cleaning problem most of us have quietly accepted as just life.
Meet the pair
The WashG1™ is Dyson’s take on the wet floor cleaner, designed to wash hard floors in one streamlined pass rather than the traditional drag-and-splash method that mostly moves grime from one end of the room to the other. No buckets, no wringing, no staring at a suspiciously grey mop head and wondering when exactly it stopped being useful. It’s the kind of appliance that quietly earns its counter space — and then some.

Compact, cordless, and deceptively powerful: the V8™ Slim for when the mess is small but your standards aren’t.
The V8™ Slim, meanwhile, is the lighter, nimbler sibling of Dyson’s cordless line. Useful for the crumbs under the dining chair, the dust gathering behind the shelves, and every other small, daily chaos that a full-sized vacuum feels excessive for. Cordless and compact, it’s the machine you’ll actually pick up instead of sighing and walking past the mess.
Together, they cover the full floor care spectrum: the V8™ Slim handles the dry sweep, the WashG1™ follows with the wash. It’s a logical pairing, honestly — the kind that makes you wonder why you’ve been doing it any other way.
Why this Dyson combination matters
Hard floors, for all their aesthetic appeal, are unforgiving surfaces. Dust settles visibly. Spills linger. And vacuuming alone, as satisfying as the process can be, doesn’t quite address the layer of grime that accumulates on high-traffic areas over time. A wet cleaner handles what a vacuum can’t, and vice versa — which is precisely why owning both, rather than cycling through them separately across different shopping occasions, makes a certain kind of sense.
There’s also something to be said for the ease of a dedicated routine. When both machines live in the same home, cleaning stops being a production and starts being a rhythm — a quick pass with the V8™ Slim in the morning, a proper wash with the WashG1™ when the floors need it. Less deliberation, more just getting it done.
The numbers
Originally priced at PhP 74,800 for both, the bundle is currently available at PhP 45,900 — a saving of PhP 28,900. The mechanic is straightforward: purchase the WashG1™ and the V8™ Slim comes with it.
The promo runs from April 16 to 30, 2026, available at Dyson Stores nationwide. For those who’ve been watching these two machines from a careful distance, the window is narrow — but the value proposition is hard to argue with.

BINI, KATSEYE among top worldwide Google Searches ahead of Coachella
Coachella to kick off this weekend
BINI and KATSEYE topped recent Google Search trends ahead of their Coachella performances this month.
It’s clear that Coachella attendees are curious about the popular Philippine pop girl group, as well as the Los Angeles-based global girl group.
That’s aside from dedicated BLOOMs who are eager to see Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, Jhoanna, and Sheena take part in the legendary California music festival on Friday, April 10.
According to Google Trends data, global searches for the term “BINI Coachella” hit a perfect
score of 100 on April 8.
This indicates that the search term briefly became the highest-ranking search trend.
Meanwhile, “KATSEYE Coachella” scored 98 on April 7 on Google Trends, followed by a perfect 100 on April 8.
The timing of KATSEYE’s new single, “PINKY UP” couldn’t have been better as it dropped just a day before their Sahara stage set.
At the same time, the Filipino octet has also released “Blush” as their new comeback song — just hours ahead of KATSEYE.
As such, EYEKONS have also been scouring the interwebs for the global girl group.
And as these are worldwide search data, the recent Google Search trends somewhat prove these artists are effectively breaking through the global mainstream, and introducing their respective cultures to the global stage.
