Customer Reviews

A flat iron is easier.....
The Infiniti hair designer pro by conair is a hairdryer/styler combo with a number of interesting attachments. First: my hair is thick and shoulderlength. It has a natural wave, so I was interested in the straightening options.

After reading the manual and setting my hair to the proper setting, I attempted to flatten my hair. The results were flatter than I might have achieved normally, but not so flat that it would replace a flat iron or pomade with comb for the truly straightened appearence. It was sort of an in-between look. I also found the dryer a bit heavy and somewaht awkward to manipulate through my hair. The pictures in the manual show women with rather long hair. My hair is shorter than that.

For a different persepctive, I asked my mother to sit in and straightened her very fine thin hair. Her hair is longer (slightly below shoulder length) and fine. Her hair was straighter afterward, but wispy. She was positive about the dryer.

Overall, I would probably only use this dryer for straightening if there weren't other easier methods available.

An elegant improvement on an amazing styler!
I have long, thick, wavy hair that has always been a challenge to style without taking a ton of products and a ton of time. Several years ago, I purchased the first generation of the Conair Infiniti with the hope that the ceramic plates would ease the frizz factor with a minimum of effort.

The Infiniti was the best blow dryer I had ever had, that dried my hair quickly, with a minimum of damage and a maximum of smoothness. I was very interested to see how the new, improved version would work.

To say I'm pleased is an understatment!

It's true, the newer version of the Infinit is slightly heavier than the old one, but to be honest, if you're used to doing just about anything to get your hair to look decent, the minimal weight gain isn't much of a deterrent.

The plates on this Infiniti version are better, smoothing out the hair follicle nicely and quicker. There's less "ouch" dragging it through your hair than the previous Infiniti; I chalk that up to the two comb feature.

The diffuser is a nice touch for the days when you don't want to go through the hassle of hair straightening. I don't use a concentrator myself, so that's not an issue for me.

I recommended the previous Conair Infiniti, and I'm happy to report the new version is an improvement on an already excellent design. I highly recommend it.

Nice product
I was very excited to try this new Conair Infiniti 224 since I do like to straighten my hair from time to time, which I usually do using my normal hair dryer and a styling brush and my hands. The description, package and manual for this product really focus on the straightening capabilities, since that is the big feature for this product. I was hopeful that the Conair 224 with straightener attachment would be easy to use and work well for me so that I could straighten my hair more often.

What I like about this product:
Nice quality, solid appliance
Attractive and stylish appearance
Versatile - comes with straightener, diffuser and concentrator attachments
Two fan speed settings and 3 heat settings + a cool button to set your style
No tangles from the comb
No static - the ionic feature works for me to cut down on static
It has good power and dries hair quickly
Attachments can be rotated 360 degrees (clicks in at 1/8 turn points)
Adjustable tension on the Straightener attachment comb (although I did not need it)
Long, high quality cord
Nice flip out cover on the back mesh that covers the air intake, for easy cleaning
Good manual with lots of tips on using the dryer and attachments

Other comments:
Straightening attachment does not work as well as I expected on my naturally slightly wavy hair with fine to medium texture. It was difficult to guide my hair through the comb attachment. My hair is about shoulder length (longest strands are about 12-14") and the dryer and attachment seemed to be so large and bulky that it was not easy to get the dryer and my hair oriented, even with the rotatable attachment. The appliance seemed to work okay for straightening the sides of my hair (with a lot of coaxing) but was especially difficult to use at the back of my head and some of the waves were difficult to comb out. I find that a brush with my normal dryer (or my hot air brush dryer) works better on my hair and is easier. I think the Conair 224 may work great for straightening long or very long hair.

The dryer is very bulky and hard to handle. It is awkward to put up near my head. It also takes up a lot of space to store. Although the weight makes the styler feel solid, it is really quite heavy and gets tiring to use. The diffuser attachment is huge - 5" across by 4" tall, including the spikes.

I did not have any problems with inadvertently switching air flow and heat settings, even though the buttons are on the handle.

I did not perceive any increase in volume from drying my hair outward from the roots when using the Straightener as directed, as implied by the manual. (Note that I do get an increase in volume from drying my hair outward from the roots using my normal hair dryer and my fingers, as I probably would if the Conair 224 were used in normal dryer mode.) I also did not perceive any improvement in the shine of my hair. The last 3" or so of my hair seemed frizzed out (but not static-y) after using the dryer.

Overall, the Conair Infiniti 224 is a good, high quality hair dryer, but the straightening attachment just did not work well on my hair. I wish I could rate it higher than 3 to 3 ½ stars, but it just did not live up to my expectations for this mid-range appliance with straightening capabilities. If I were rating it as just a regular hair dryer and not a styler / straightener, I would give it 4 or 4 ½ stars (but then the price should be much less, if it were a regular hair dryer).
