Customer Reviews

Fast & Shiny, Loud & Imprecise
The Good:

*It's REALLY fast (so fast that I sometimes end up with a weird cowlick or whatever because I didn't realize some of my hair was already dry and I'd missed the styling window)

*It makes my hair even shinier than usual

*Gets rid of frizzies pretty well as long as you don't hang out in the humid bathroom for too long

*Requires less coordination than brush/dryer combo


The Bad:

*It's VERY loud and high-pitched and I do have to dry the hair behind my ears, which means the noise is aimed right in my ear canal, and that ain't good (I put cotton balls in my ears before I turn the dryer on)

*It blows my hair around so I don't have a lot of control over the end result of my efforts (to be honest with you I don't usually care that much)

*It's a bit heavy, and because you use it like a brush, it gets really close to your head (which in my case means I crack myself in the head with it every few days)

*The cord is too short


It's worth a shot if you want a fast dryer. It takes me maybe 5 minutes to dry my shortish hair, and it used to take up to 10 with a standard drugstore hairdryer. I hate to think of people damaging their vulnerable ears with this thing though; hopefully I just got an abnormally noisy dryer.

Great hair dryer for smoothing out curls.
This hair dryer (with the brush attachment) gives you the same results you would get from the traditional blow dryer and big round brush technique (the way they do it at the salon), except this is much simpler. I divide my hair into small sections and clip them up. Then I dry one section at a time starting from the bottom. The whole process goes very quickly this way.

I've tried other similar dryers but found the brush attachment to be too soft. This one has a stiff brush which is essential to really grasp the hair so that it dries straight. I still need to use a flat iron to really get my hair smooth, but the ironing goes quicker if I dry my hair this way first. (If your hair is not as curly as mine, you'll probably get smoother results and not need the flat iron)

The brush will wear down with time, but you can order replacements for about $3.50 each.

The comb attachments are totally useless. Not sure why anyone would want to use them.

Another thing I like about this dryer is that I can also use it as a diffuser when I want to keep my hair curly. Just keep the brush attachment on the dryer but don't let it come in contact with your hair. Hold it a few inches away. The brush attachment will prevent your hair from flying all over the place and thus acting as a diffuser.

As others have stated, it is loud, but so are all dryers of this type.

Incredible
I have long (past shoulder-length) hair which is frizzy and wavy. Typically, it takes me at least 30 minutes to straighten it. (with an expensive straightener nonetheless!) This hair dryer dried my hair completely in FIVE minutes flat. It was straight, soft, and shiny. I slept on it, woke up, straightened it for TWO minutes then was ready to go with perfectly straight hair.

True, it was a bit loud, but if it can make my hair straight in less than five minutes.. I really don't care.

Best hair purchase yet.
