20 Best Hairdryer For Short Hair (2023 Updated)

Am I the only person to have paid for this? I purchased it from T3 because it was dual voltage and I was traveling to Europe and wouldn’t be able to use my Dyson (because they are not dual voltage). I used it once before traveling and hated it in less than 60 seconds.

It has very little power and took forever to dry my long, fine hair that typically takes 10 mins with a Dyson and 15-20 with another salon-quality/high-end brand. It was very hot but had no fan power despite the flow concentrator so it’s mostly radiating a hot breeze.

Normally when I dry my hair, it’s soft, silky, and shiny at the end; with this dryer it was dry, frizzy, and felt fried. This is like a $20 travel dryer you would buy at the drugstore and the price relative to the function and quality here is unjustifiable… I think I’ve used better dryers in cheap hotel rooms and felt genuinely shocked to see such a bad product from T3.

I also found the brownish blush pink color drab / unattractive, and the folding head seemed pretty gimmicky because it didn’t do much of anything to reduce the dryer’s awkward footprint due to the long handle and stiff cord at the handle’s base making it even longer.

I was so excited for this but it’s really bad, I almost never return purchases (1-3x per year if at all) but sent this back after one use.

I wanted to try a different blow dryer then what I had been using for years because it was only lasting 7-9 months. I like that in Ulta you can try the blow dryers out. I really likes this one. I first purchased it on 5-14-22 and my hair looked so shiny and healthy.

Then after only having the blow dryer a little under 2 months it started getting really hot, about a week after it started getting red inside and smoking and making a terrible noise so I quick turned it off.

I took it back to Ulta on 7/7/22 told what happened and said that I wanted to get another, I was thinking it was probably just something wrong with that one, and I was told when I originally bought it that it was one blow dryer that customers do not return.

I really liked how my hair looked after using it. Now fast forward to today 8-10-22 as soon as I turned it on it made a terrible noise and got really red and flames started shooting out. I Immediately turned it off and waited a few minutes and the flames went out and it was smoking, and smelled terrible.

I started looking on other sites that sold it and there were a lot of complaints about it stop working after a few months and smoking. I will be returning the blow drier tonight and getting a different brand.

I really think that a recall needs to be done on this blow dryer and it’s a shame because when it works it blow dryers beautifully!.

-super heavy -doesn’t come with diffuser -button display confusing -not worth price It’s a shame that I hate this blow dryer because it really does dry nicely but it’s just that the work you put into get there isn’t worth it.

The dryer is so heavy I have to nold it by the nozzle to lose some of the weight. That is inconvenient if you need to use the cold setting, because the button is in a wired spot. Also, the buttons are BACKWARDS.

so when you think you’re turning the heat up you are actually turning the temperature down. And when you press the power button all the way down you are actually putting it on full speed. Diffuser sold separately, don’t waste your time.

Concentrator hardly fits. Waste.

I’ve had this hair dryer for 7 years now. It still works. The wattage is 2000 which is the minimum you should expect with any decent hair dryer (anything below that and you’re exposing your hair to more heat instead of air to dry it, which is damaging).

If you have thick porous hair like mine, you need this. I have a friend who works in a different salon supply store and she recommended this brand and I’m happy with her recommendation. I’ve docked one star because it’s not particularly esthetically pleasing like some of the less effective, but Instagram worthy brands.

But it does the job and that’s what ultimately matters.

I was gifted the AirLuxe dryer complimentary from T3. Wow! Words can’t express my love for this hair dryer. I had been content with my previous hair dryer until I received this one. My first impression was how luxe and sleek the design of the hair dryer is.

It has two attachments-one I used for a rough dry so I was able to get it close to 80% dry before I switched to the other attachment that helped create a sleek and smooth blow-out. I have coarse, naturally curly hair and although I will at times let it air dry, my preference is to have an amazing blow-out that will last days.

The digital controls are what make this a standout feature. Gone are the days of buttons you have to switch by pushing up or down- with these digital controls all you have to do is lightly press and instantly you have endless combinations of how you want the hair dryer to give you air flow & heat.

I love the negative ion feature that helps me smooth my hair & adds in volume. The cool shot control, although I switch it on a little too frequently due to its placement, I love how it locks in my curl if I do a bouncy blow out.

The 9ft cord allows me to really have great control & ease with being able to dry my hair anywhere in my house, which will be great for travel. I am impressed with the ions that get infused in your hair within a second- this is exactly what I needed.

I normally get an annual keratin treatment, but the way this hair dryer delivers I will not be needing one. I can’t wait for blow-out day & especially knowing I will get quite a few days out of it. I promise you will be just as obsessed as me if you purchase this hair dryer!.

The proof is in the pudding with this hair dryer, my hair is absolutely shiny, smooth, less frizz & I can save money on getting my annual keratin treatment. I can’t rave enough on how fabulous this hair dryer is, you absolutely need it & I promise it doesn’t disappoint.

I wanted to love the dyson so badly because I’m in love with the prussian blue airwrap and it goes perfectly with it. However after multiple blow out attempts with different products my hair was left flat dry and frizzy Every.

Single. Time. I have very long wavy red hair that usually blows out fairly sleek and full of body with my old babyliss titanium dryer. Why was I paying so much more for something that didn’t deliver on a quality blow out? The fact that it was light, cool looking, and quiet does not make up for a poor end result.

I just bought the Ghd helios. It’s heavier than dyson but it dries as fast as the dyson, is still pretty, not as quiet as the dyson but quieter than the babyliss, but DELIVERS a smoothe, sleek and body full end product that can be worn alone with no flat ironing needed or with my airwrap to playfully curl the lower half of my hair after drying.

The dyson went back and I’m keeping the ghd. Oh also, the new dyson flyaway attachment worked for 5 sec then hair was tight back to being frizzy and burnt up mine and my daughters hair, so if you’re on the fence between these 2, I vote helios!.

Bought this during a Cyber Monday sale, with good savings. Was replacing a VERY old hair dryer, and had been looking at the Dyson, but couldn’t quite bring myself to spend that money. However, I did want to spend an amount to ensure I would get a good, long-lasting hairdryer that I would use for the next 10+ years.

Overall, I have loved this hairdryer so far. PROS: – Pretty design (I got white) – Extremely efficient. While it took 15-20 minutes to dry my medium-thickness, curly, shoulder-blade length hair with my old hair dryer, this truly only took 5-8 minutes with the diffuser.

– As others have said, highest heat setting is hot but doesn’t burn your scalp. – Seems to minimize frizz, but don’t have enough uses yet to say for sure. CONS: – Yes, price, but seems a good investment.

– As others have noted, does not come with a diffuser. For this price, it should. I will try not to take it as a personal affront to curly-haired users such as myself. 🙂 Does come with the cone/blade/thingy I’ve never used on my curly hair.

– Not super light, but won’t hurt your wrist or forearm either (and I don’t have too much to compare it to).

I’ve been needing a hard dryer for some months and have always rated my ghd straightners so thought I’d look into buying myself the hairdryer. Quickly decided that the helios seemed the better option than the other ghd dryer purely from reviews.

I wasn’t disappointed at all in fact I’m so happy. I have medium length hair but it is super thick. In the past it’s normally taken around 30 to 40 minutes to dry my hair and this did it in just over 12 minutes.

Granted I’m pretty basic when it comes to drying my hair, I am not able to use these fancy techniques with brushes etc so you could probably shave some of the time off if you’re a pro at blow drying.

My hair is always soft and so many people have commented on how silky and shiny my hair looks. I don’t find it heavy at all, in fact it’s the lightest dryer I’ve owned so makes it easy on the arms. It has various speed and heat settings.

I tend to dry on the middle heat setting at the lowest speed as it does get a little fluttery with the hair when on the highest ones and I find the higher the heat the more hair breakage I seem to get around the ears and forehead where the hair is thinner and more fragile.

I was shocked at how quiet it is for a dryer too. I use the cold setting just after the heat and this ensures a lovely frizz free smooth finish and has helped shave off around 20 minutes of my straightening time now too.

I can now wear my hair down whenever I want, a task I dreaded doing before this dryer. I purchased the item at full price and I’d say its definitely worth it. Go for it if you’re thinking of investing in a top notch dryer that can help look after your hair.

I purchased the dryer in the white and gold and it is aesthetically pleasing. although it did take me a day to decide which colour I wanted as the plum looks beautiful too.

I have had so many dryers over my lifetime. They were cheap, took forever, and eventually burned out to its death. I felt like I swallowed a rock paying this price for a hair dryer but when you think about it, it makes total sense! Why only enjoy great haircare when you go to your salon? You should be enjoying it everyday at home! The dryer is lightweight, fast, and I love the cool shot button and warm settings.

I have only ever used the first two warm settings. The third is too powerful and hot for me. It seems to dry my hair straighter with less frizz. I also like the travel bag included.

I absolutely hate this dryer. It runs WAY too hot. All of my clients complain even though I have it pointed away from the scalp and am directionally drying down the strands. It’s overpriced for the quality.

Who thought it was a good idea to have heat and air settings tied together? This dryer only knows Low Heat Low Air (Medium heat on normal dryer) Medium Heat Medium Air (High on a normal one) High Heat High Air (Extremely hot, will burn your hand and clients) It is awful.

Don’t do this. Please. Think about what that heat is doing to your hair and your color. I upgraded to a Dyson and I’m much happier.

I’ve bought Conair hairdryers my whole life, but I wanted to splurge and try something high-end. I am glad I did. I have thick but fine hair and normally my hair takes 20 minutes to dry. My whole head was dried and styled in 10 minutes.

It’s super lightweight and I like how it doesn’t have a ton of settings so it’s very user-friendly. It does not come with a diffuser so you’ll need to purchase that separately. The attachment does get very hot but it’s needed since the hairdryer gets super hot as well – but my hair didn’t feel fried and looked full and healthy!.

At first I LOVED this hair dryer. VERY light, compact, and left my hair feeling luxurious. This lasted all of 6 months maybe. Then towards the-unbeknownst to me-end my hair felt not nearly as soft, and tangle free (and yes I had tried several products/switched shampoo and conditioner/changed up my hair care routine to see if it was on my end of lovely hair failure).

The recently, as I was drying my hair, the end of the handle got VERY hot, then I felt a pop (in the handle), and the dryer shut off. I figured welp, the surge button just needs reset, but alas no that wasn’t the case; the dryer officially was done.

Moreover, the surge that came from the dryer tripped the breaker box on my circuit breaker! For as much as this dryer costs (yes it’s less than most, but it’s still not cheap) surely figured it would last longer than under 1 year.

Who would of thought that one day we would literally have hair dryers that would accomplish impressive tasks such as providing more body, healthier looking hair, no frizz, etc. ? Well, we do and Conair is up front and center in breaking ingenious and innovative boundaries by bringing us the new Smoothwrap Dryer Powered by InfinitiPro! I have to say that I was expecting some improvement just by the initial research that I did beforehand, but I wasn’t expecting the results I got.

Not only did this hair dryer handle & perform beautifully in usage capabilities, but it diminished my frizz completely, provided soft & silky body, and left my hair looking beautiful all around. It was as though I had received a professional blow out with salon products included.

To get the full effect of this hair dryer, I decided to not use any styling products and the SmoothWrap Dryer Powered by InfinitiPro did not disappoint! In fact, it exceeded my expectations! As if that weren’t enough, I think it’s important to point out that this hair dryer dried my hair in half the time my old hair dryer did.

It’s super light weight, but seriously powerful and although it dries hair very quickly, it doesn’t get super hot like some hair dryers do. In addition, it’s not super loud like some of its competitors.

It fits in my hand comfortably making drying and styling actually enjoyable! I can’t say enough positive about this hair dryer and absolutely nothing negative, which is a huge feat to accomplish! I’m most excited over how great my hair looks overall as a whole using the SmoothWrap Dryer Powered by InfinitiPro! Needless to say, I’m look forward to many ‘good hair days’ thanks to Conair’s New SmoothWrap Dryer Powered by InfinitiPro!! #SmoothWrap #Sponsored.

When I initially used the Conair SmoothWrap powered by InfinitiPro by Conair, I didn’t think much of it — it did a decent job drying my hair quickly, but there was nothing that stood out to me as extraordinary.

In fact, I found the concentrating nozzle attachment to be kind of difficult to put on/take off. However, the next day, after I had slept on my hair and taken it up and down multiple times, I was shocked to look in the mirror and see completely smooth and frizz-free hair that looked really nice.

My hair also tangled less than it normally does, leaving me a new believer in the “SmoothWrap” technology. The following day, to see whether it really was the hair dryer making a difference, I used a different hair dryer and found that my hair looked frizzier, tangled more easily, and in general did not behave as well.

The only real negative about this hair dryer is the design location of the controls. They are on the left side of the hair dryer rather than centered on the front or the back, making it awkward for me to switch between different settings.

I feel like the intention may have been to make it more comfortable, but because it’s not a location I’m used to the controls being, I found it less comfortable and difficult to use. Additionally, this hair dryer likely won’t work for you if you’re left handed since the controls will be where your palm wraps around the handle! Overall, I would say that this is a solid hair dryer choice if you are looking for a smoothing hair dryer that works nicely.

I have absolutely no complaints about the performance of the dryer, and am pretty impressed with it.

I normally do not write reviews but this one has to be written. This is the second Gamma blow dryer so have purchased this year. The first one went out after getting too hot. I wanted to love this blow dryer so I purchased a second one and made sure to do everything correctly to take care of it.

I will say that the XL is much better in the fact that it doesn’t get nearly as hot as the original however, after only 4 months, it stopped working. It only blows cool air. I understand that things happen but to go through TWO in a year is ridiculous.

What’s even more ridiculous is that these are not cheap!!! Almost $800 investment gone down the drain. You would think that a company would want to help out someone who not only invests in their products but also sends clients to purchase the tools that is recommended to them by their stylist.

It’s a shame! Will never purchase another tool from this company again and I sure as hell won’t put my name behind it and recommend it to my clients!!.

If you’re looking for the unicorn of hair dryers, this is it. I seriously could not be more obsessed with this hair dryer!! I have level 9 blonde, 22” NBR hair extensions and this dryer is a GOD SEND.

My hair dries in HALF THE TIME. I have also experienced much less frizz & breakage since purchasing this drier. I’ve had it for 3. 5 years and it still works PERFECTLY! The power this hair dryer has far exceeds that of any other hair drier I’ve tried – trust me, I’ve tried them ALL.

It’s extremely lightweight, very easy to maneuver, and very easy to maintain. The dryer has a self-cleaning function, which I use once a week to keep my drier functioning properly. (Keeping this hair dryer clean is essential for optimal performance).

Bought this blowdryer right before covid hit and my salon closed. I came back to work for maybe 6 weeks then had shoulder replacement surgery. So I didn’t use this blow dryer very much. I did like the light weight, but clients hated the noise.

It always was to hot and would or could burn the clients scalp if above the first setting. I did send back while off of work because a plastic piece fell off around the blowing end. They didn’t fix or replace.

Sad that it’s made that cheap yet they expect top price. It’s now been a little more then 2 years with very little use and it started to make a horrible noise and just stopped working. My beauty supply store said because it’s out of warranty it’s my responsibility to contact the maker.

I went on line and needed information I don’t have and no phone number to call here in the states. I guess buy American and definitely not this product.

(there is a TLDR at the bottom of this review) Let’s start out by saying that I’m comparing this product to my $20 Conair dryer and diffuser that is literally duct-taped to the dryer. I have fairly thick wavy/curly (2B/3A) hair, I’m simply looking for a product to diffuse my hair so I can get my hair dry before bed and bring out its natural texture.

Pros: Dried my hair fast more customizable settings than I’m used to attachments stay on the dryer while in use my hair didnt come out fried or looking super wonky Cons: expensive awkward to hold while diffusing buttons are also in an awkward place in my opinion i do not know where to store all of the attachments Most of the pros are also Cons Now you might be thinking “Wow random reviewer those Cons are really not bad why is your review so low?” and I will say “You’re so right reader let me tell you why I feel this way.

” -While the Dyson did dry my hair faster its lowest temp was also hotter than the low temp on my previous dryer, so much so that I was legit sweating by the end of my 10 min drying session. The increased heat made me nervous about the long-term health of my hair.

-There are three of each fan and heat settings along with a cold shot button. This is great for most people but I really don’t need other settings besides low speed and low heat and both of the lowest settings were too fast and too hot for me personally.

-The attachments are magnetic to the dryer, this is the only pro that isn’t a con for me personally. The only thing I will say is that this is probably the only thing I’ll miss about the Dyson but my duct-taped diffuser hasn’t let me down yet.

-My hair came out fine and not weird after using this dryer! which is great right? Well it also comes out just fine using my cheap dryer diffuser combo and I’d argue that my old setup has more consistent results but for now, I will chalk that up to getting used to the Dyson.

Also not frying your hair and making it look good is the bare minimum bottom line for a hair dryer so the Dyson gets no special points for this. TLDR For my hair type and lifestyle, the insane price tag of this dryer was just not worth it at all.

Any pros were either cons in disguise or something that my old $20 hairdryer can do with a little finagling. I think this dryer is probably so worth it for many people, I’m just not one of them.

Deliberated for almost 6mths about buying the dryer purely down to the price tag. Weighed up the alternatives (GHD, cloud 9 etc) but eventually thanks to great payment offer on QVC decided to take the plunge (the no quibble return policy was a help) First time using I used on my daughter, thick mid back length hair.

Liked the results and could see a comparable difference between the Dyson and my well loved Babyliss Pro, however still unsure of having invested so much money. Spent some time watching the online tutorials which were a good help, then dried my own hair……still unsure.

However I LOVED the feel of the dryer, lightweight and compact, the attachments are brilliantly easy to change and the magnetic holds are a cracking idea. Mine came in a beautiful case which sits beautifully on my dresser and is an easy way to store both dryer and attachments.

After 3/4 uses the dryer has become much easy to use and I’m more dexterous at using the attachments. My hair is noticeably shinier and the condition seems improved. Have used on both my daughters and there I can see the biggest change.

Hair is smoother, shinier and wayyyyyyy straighter without a straightener in sight! Would recommend anyone sitting on the fence to try. It’s an impressive piece of kit. The power behind it is brilliantly strong and controlled, (very similar to the jets put out by a Dyson hand dryer), the ease with which attachments can be changed is great.

When held each of the controls are really easy to reach to change, and the noise of the full speed setting is relatively gentle when compared with traditional dryers. It’s almost possible to hold a conversation whilst using! Overall I would wholeheartedly recommend, especially if a decent QVC offer comes up to take the sting from the price.

Just be patient and play with it a good few times whilst you learn to optimise its capabilities!.

I got this a week ago and have washed and dried my hair three times since, so this is a preliminary review, really. But I am impressed. I bought the Dyson because I have hair that’s got a really fine texture, meaning it’s prone to dryness, damage and breaking, but there’s also loads of it, which means it takes ages to dry (exacerbating the damage issue).

I’ve been letting my hair air dry about 90% of the time for years, but that was getting untenable, so I saved up and bought this to replace my Parlux, which, despite being an expensive professional model took what felt like forever to get my hair dry, and is so hot even on the medium setting that I always felt not only my hair but my face and neck were being toasted.

The Dyson dries my hair really fast – so fast that I can hardly believe it. It must cut at least a third off the time it took with the Parlux, maybe even half. And even on the hottest setting I don’t feel my skin or hair getting uncomfortably hot.

I also find that my hair looks and feels silky and shiny, although this could also be partly due to investing in an expensive new heat protectant at the same time. The one reason this gets four stars instead of five is that, by the third time of drying with the Dyson (as opposed to air drying) I’m noticing that I have an absolute mass of flyaway hairs.

This is definitely something I’m prone to whenever I blow dry, but I’d hoped that the Dyson wouldn’t make it worse, or that if it did, the new Flyaway Attachment would do its job and make them less noticeable.

But my flyaways are apparently too stubborn for the attachment. It made no difference to them whatsoever. I can obviously try to flatten them down with serums or oils, but I do worry that they’re the first sign of damage happening.

If they keep getting worse each time I dry then I will have to use the Dyson less, which is a disappointment with such an expensive item. I would still recommend this to anyone who hates blowdrying their hair and finds that it takes them forever, though.

I dread each drying session considerably less now.

SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS PRODUCT!! I have naturally curly hair and have spent thousands of dollars over years buying not only shampoos & conditioners, serums, oils, sprays, etc. to help stop frizz after straightening my hair, but also $$$ on hair dryers, brushes and straighteners.

Not to mention the HOURS upon hours over years spent painstakingly drying then straightening my hair only to find it frizzing up within hours, even under dry ambient conditions. I couldn’t believe using this magical Air Brush allows me to dry and COMPLETELY STRAIGHTEN my hair and in a few minutes – I’m talking like *6-7 MINUTES*.

And my straightener has been retired under the sink. I haven’t used it since I got this Air Brush. Granted I don’t quite get the volume I was expecting, but it’s more volume than I ended up with after using a straightener.

A tip for those with curly hair: once finished drying my hair, I take the front pieces that surround my face, place the dryer on top of the hair, slowly brush straight down, on my scalp from forehead to ends.

Frizz and baby hairs are STRAIGHT. REVLON: Only 2 reasons this is getting only 4 out of 5 stars: the cord isn’t long enough and the ‘cool’ setting isn’t so cool. If you make this exact product but with the cord longer and the ‘cool’ setting actually cool, I’ll buy a second unit and rate it again, next time with 5 stars.

I think my blow dryer I’ve been using just went obsolete in my world. I’ve been fighting curly, unruly frizzy hair my whole life. Been using a professional blow dryer with a specific round brush, and painstakingly drying my hair with the little attachment and a round brush for decades.

Gave up on that and started ruining my hair with a flat iron. Still never could achieve that shine I’ve always dreamed of. UNTIL now. I feel like this thing has been the best kept secret to women everywhere.

Works fast, doesn’t yank or break my hair, ALOT less breakage noticed in the sink than anything else I’ve ever used. Fast, and works wonders. The highest setting is truly hot, I only had to use medium setting and it works beautifully.

It is slightly heavier than I would prefer, but easy to use for me. A bit loud, but for this hair I could care less. It’s shiny, bouncy, and manageable, without a drop of serum or any leave in conditioner, just used a thermal heat protectant spray and voila.

I’m sold. As long as this unit lasts, I will be raving about it. Thank you for making my life easier and helping to keep my hair healthy longer. My favorite thing about it? I can let go of the section of hair I’m drying and use the end tip to roll the dryer, and it doesn’t burn my fingers at alll.

Convenient isn’t the word.

I bought this blow dryer before Christmas and wished I hadn’t been busy and took the time to take advantage of the no questions asked return policy. I have been a hairdresser for over 30 years and was searching for a lightweight dryer.

I googled articles on professional hair dryers and GHD came up. I pulled the trigger and ordered the limited color, warm pewter, which is beautiful. I love the way the dryer looks yet find it to be heavy, hot and too powerful.

I like to finish my styling on low air flow and find that even on low it is too powerful. I am disappointed with the inability to get at the lint when I clean it. You can open the back of the dryer yet not get to the debris.

If you are looking for a lightweight dryer do not get this one. Again, I am sorry I didn’t return and will live with a 225$ + investment.

I was so excited to replace my old hairdryer and did a lot of research, even considering the Dyson. From reviews and blog posts I decided this seems like a good decision. I’ve had it a few months now and I’m just very underwhelmed by it.

Lightweight? It’s average hairdryer weight, unless there’s particularly heavy ones out there. Super duper drying technology? My hair dried maybe five mins faster. I was seeing people say it halved their drying time so expected better, but maybe it’s just because I have high porosity hair (stays wet for HOURS naturally) The diffuser attachment was very expensive and wasn’t anything impressive really, pretty similar to what is out there.

I was thinking it would be light years ahead of my old hairdryer in tech and performance but it just wasn’t. Attachments are really fiddly at first. You have to use brute force to click it on and I actually slipped and hit my hand first time! Saw a few reviews saying this ans thought how can an attachment be difficult, but yeah they weren’t kidding! It’s also quite loud but sounds smoother than my old one.

I didn’t find the button position fiddly like others and found it as easy to use as my last one, just takes a slight adjustment of getting used to a new machine. If you’re reading this and think this hairdryer will half your routine and just improve your life.

Maybe reconsider lol. The only thing I can’t dispute is this thing is stunningly designed visually. Really elegant. Really hope this helps someone!.

My main objection is the weight. It feels quite heavy. My second objection is the unnecessarily long, 9-ft power cable which makes it clumsy when in use and adds to the weight. Although it comes in a fancy box, it does not include a storage bag.

Finally, I found the 3-week return policy way too short. On the positive side: It’s relatively quiet and the design is stylish, power cord aside. It’s comfortable to hold and the weight, although heavy, is well balanced.

It has two power and two temperature settings, plus a cool button, to fit all your needs. It takes the frizz out of your hair, makes it shine and there appears to be less hair loss judging by the hairs in sink after blow drying.

I bought my Buttercup blowdryer three years ago in late 2018. (I got the limited-edition silver sparkly one, which is super-cute. ) This dryer is totally worth it. Before this, I had a $20 Conair from CVS and it burnt my hair, which I never realized until I got my Buttercup.

The cheap dryers just get hotter and hotter and hotter. This Drybar dryer has been wonderful for the condition of my dry, frizzy, fine, Type 2B/C curls. It dries my hair quickly without using excess heat, and the results are much smoother and shinier than any cheap dryer I’ve used.

It even does a wonderful job when I have the heat and airflow set to the lowest settings, although it takes longer of course. This is the first dryer I’ve ever had where I don’t feel it’s damaging my hair.

I don’t use it daily; probably about twice a week. It’s as good as new. I don’t know how it compares to products like Dyson or Harry Josh, as I’ve never used those, but I can say for sure that this dryer is significantly better than the drugstore ones.

I’ve had cheapie ones that make claims about their ion technology, but they are simply not as good as this one. You get what you pay for, and this is a huge step-up from anything you can find in CVS.

If you have dry/processed/frizzyhair, I think you’ll see the most benefit. If you have healthy virgin hair and don’t need to blowdry it to make it look smooth, you probably don’t need it. My hair is pretty unmanageable and looks like a real bird’s nest if I don’t blowdry.

It looks much better after using this than my old Conair. No regrets whatsoever after three years! Tip: Keep it in a drawer to stop dust getting to it!.

I bought this to replace a 10 year old hair dryer. I wanted to upgrade to a higher quality product. this was not it. I only blow-dry my hair a few times a month and I bought this in December of 2021.

It’s been 9 months and it’s already broken. Today it started making a horrible screeching sound and began spitting out bits of yellow plastic. I contacted the sephora chat line for help and was told to go to the manufacturer website.

We’ll Drybar only takes returns for 60 days and not from other retailers even if the product is defective. What a joke, I’m out $200 for a hair dryer that didn’t even last a year. Worst of all there is no one to turn to in order to make it right.

Ulta has way better customer service, I’ll be shopping there from now on.

I purchased this dryer less than 5 months ago and have used it only 4 times, because I normally just air dry my hair. Today I brought it out and started to dry my hair and the motor started making a loud rattling noise inside.

I turned it off and I’m not planning to turn it on again. I called Ulta where I bought this in 4SRanch San Diego and they said to contact DryBar direct that “they should understand and want to know about the issue”.

It doesn’t sound promising after reading others who have had issues. This is very disheartening and so unfair. When you spend this much money on a product it should last longer than 4-5 blow dries. Very disappointed in Ulta for not helping more and lack of confidence now in getting anywhere with DryBar.

After using my hair dryer for about 6 months I started to hear a humming sound coming from battery pack when plugged in. The battery pack would get extremely hot as well. Could not leave plugged in, so constantly was plugging this in when I needed to use it each day.

Called Dyson for assistance and was told they would send a replacement since service center was on other side of state. I had to send mine back and then once they received it they would send replacement.

Unfortunately, they did not have the color I had so I had to take the standard color. Received the new one and then after 6 months this one started the humming from battery pack and got very hot. Called Dyson and this time was told this was normal, which I found hard to believe considering how hot the battery pack gets if you leave plugged in.

They also told me that even though I received a replacement for my first one, I was out of warranty for the new one that I only had for 6 months. The warranty was only for 1 year from time of original purchase.

The remaining 1 year warranty from new one was not valid and mine was no longer under warranty. To pay over $300 for a hair dryer and not to have new warranty for replacement does not reflect the type of product you would expect from this Dyson.

I have to remember to unplug my hair dryer when done, in fear it can catch fire. If I accidentally forget I find I have to return home after leaving for work to unplug. After only about an hour the battery pack is extremely hot when left plugged in, even when not used.

I’ve had other brands of hair dryers for years and none of them get hot when plugged in like this Dyson. They know there’s a problem with the battery pack and are not resolving it for their customers.

I had been using an older model BaBylissPRO Tourmaline Titanium 3000 Dryer for 4 years before it started to fall apart on me. I had wanted to buy this one for awhile but couldn’t get over the price tag.

After finally deciding to splurge I am wishing I had just purchased my old dryer again. Even though this dryer is supposedly significantly stronger, it does not seem to be. It seems very weak compared to my old one.

But the biggest issue is the terrible design flaw. The buttons are awkwardly placed but worst of all the concentrator nozzle simply slides over the dryer, which basically means you have to take it off in order to change the positions.

I have to change the position at least 3 times while drying my hair which is impossible because it gets so hot you can’t touch it! On the older model it snapped in to the top and you could simply twist it without barely touching it.

So disappointed I spent so much money on a lukewarm hairdryer.

I bought this several weeks ago. This dryer feels the best in my hand. It is not plastic, and I never have to adjust the settings because the dryer does it automatically based on the attachment I use.

It’s beautifully made with a heavy duty cord that has an attached tie so that it doesn’t have to be wrapped around dryer. Watch the videos that they recommend because their instructions help give best results.

I bought the package with all attachments. I have naturally wavy/curly hair. Diffuser dried my thick med/long hair from damp not wet hair in 10 minutes. At the first place I went, a person complemented me on my hair.

The waive attachment is the most difficult to learn for the back of my head, but it did give the hair on my sides a nice curly/waive; it looked as if I twisted my strands of air and let them air dry while I was at the beach, but it is an acquired skill.

I love the brush attachment because it gets my hair smooth, and I can also get some lift at the roots; and I then touch up with a flat iron mainly because I am still learning how to master the brush attachment, but it gives a blowout look instead of straightened hair or flat ironed hair.

The sound is pleasant and does not hurt my ears. I could not stomach paying for Dyson because I knew that when it went out I would not want to pay for it again. The quality of the Shark seems like it will last for many years to come.

It is beautiful, and I cleared out a drawer to make a beautiful home for it in my bathroom.

I love this hair dryer. It’s definitely one of the best hair dryers that I have ever owned. My hair is thick and it normally takes forever to dry, but I’ve noticed that this hair dryer dries my hair much faster than normal.

I also love that my hair isn’t showing any signs of heat damage. My hair does not frizz like it does with other hair dryers because this dryer uses a combination of heated air with ionized air, which is a feature that I find truly innovative.

I like that this hair dryer has three settings for temperature and for air speed as well as a cool air feature that helps to smooth your hair. It comes with two attachments, and I have used the concentrator attachment so far: it gives my hair a beautiful blowout, making it soft and fluffy without being frizzy.

There is a slider on the concentrator attachment that allows you to adjust the amount of air flow you want, depending on how thick your hair is/how wet it is, and how full you want it to be. There is also a styling brush attachment that is good for straightening hair and locking styles into place.

It also comes with a small brush that you can use to clean out the filter and the attachments. I love this hair dryer; my hair is looking better than ever and it feels healthier too.

This is the only premium hairdryer I have ever had. My cheap plastic ear-splitting one cracked its plastic at the blower end, so my diffuser would no longer stay on. I needed something new. I started using the Curly Girl Method almost two years ago.

I am a wavy-haired person with a few sausage curls. I have never before bothered much with my hair (at age 63!), so I wanted a good machine that would give me the best chance to get a nice look. I liked the attachments in the full kit, wanting to have the curl maker for those strands that sometimes end up straight with just the diffuser.

I liked the retracting fingers on the diffuser, too. The smoothing brush might also come in handy. I really like using this hairdryer. I can easily use the switch. I can reach the cool shot button. The attachments all choose their proper setting, so I don’t have directions to remember for each one.

The motor is very quiet and the noise it makes does not have that annoying high whine. The diffuser is perfect to use, with a deep bowl. The fingers, at maximum length, help protect my scalp from becoming too hot, while allowing me to land the fingers at a point lower on my scalp, then drag them upward to get some lift at the top of my head.

The curl-maker uses a tornadic-type wind to make sausage-style curls. I have not yet figured out how to keep them in a single strand. Instead, the hair spreads out inside the barrel of the curling attachment and makes a sausage, cylindrical, long curl.

But then, I am a novice at using hair appliances and I may yet improve. I love the non-slip mat that came with the hair dryer package I got. It keeps my walnut counter top safe from the heat, while ensuring that the hairdryer does not slide to the floor when I set it down.

The thick cord is a safety feature, but it does want to drag this light little dryer with it. The mat definitely helps with that. The clips are also a good addition as they hold a lot of hair for when you are doing things in sections.

Overall, I highly recommend this dryer to anyone who needs a solid, quiet, fast-drying hair dryer with some very nice tools and extras included. The only thing that could be better is moving the air intake to the handle (as the Dyson does), where it would be 90 degrees removed from the loose hairs near where you are working.

I purchased the Parlux Alyon hairdryer in Jade. I love it, it makes my hair feel so smooth afterwards. I converted from GHD Air to this and have no regrets. The quality of this device is second to none.

If your in the market for a hairdryer but looking at the price of this and thinking maybe not, let me just say that you will definitely get a lot of use out of this. It’s comfortable to hold, lightweight and does a very good job.

Invest in a good hairdryer. You don’t regret it!.

I had my hair stylist (she’s real old school) in Inglewood, Ca to use this and she really liked it. She blow dried my hair faster (in 4 sections of course) and she liked how much straighter my hair was because she was “brushing” it dry.

My ends were straighter, as well. She has carpal tunnel (wears wrist braces) and liked the weight of the brush, not too heavy. Also, she ppreciated the use of one hand vs hair stylist using a blow dryer in one hand and a brush in the other with my long (pass my bra strap) thick (very dense) hair.

Of course, I sat under the hairdryer to ensure my scalp was completely dry before my press-n-curl. Going to buy another one as a backup because products I love are rarely replaceable after 3-5 yrs or so.

Absolutely worth the money. I was apprehensive about buying this hair dryer brush but after researching multiple brands online, I was told this was one of the more beginner friendly hair dryer brushes on the market.

Its a little awkward to handle I will admit, since it is comically large, but its light enough to not cause pain in my wrists. Drying my mid-back length hair with this brush took no more than 30 mins.

I usually have to deal with getting hair rollers done, sitting in a dryer for 45 minutes, spending 15 minutes having a blower used to straighten my edges, and then another 15 to 20 minutes with a straightening iron.

I’ll take the 30 minutes of learning how to use a new styling tool and getting great results over sitting in a salon chair for an hour and a half, thank you very much.

I traded my round Revlon styler for the one step styler due to a torn rotator cuff. Love the light weight feel, and paddle brush style. My present cut is a lob, very long in the front, light layering in the back.

Naturally wavy and medium density. For me, the new styler works well on the shorter sections of hair. On the longest sections of hair, it seems to take extensive work to dry because the paddle brush is smaller than a large round brush.

Bottom line is that the Revlon styler is a good addition to your arsenal of tools!.

I have very fine hair that is colour treated and I am over 50 as well. Finding a hairdryer that is gentle enough to blow hair without frizzing and damaging is almost impossible. The majority of hairdryers are too hot and feel like they are burning your scalp and the airflow output is too powerful and blowy.

With the Panasonic it has a more gently airflow and also warm enough to dry hair without being too hot. It is also fairly quiet compared to many others I have tested out at the shops. I am very happy with purchase.

I don’t know if this model would be suitable with people that have thicker hair and longer as it may not be as hot as other hairdryers. The other settings on it are very lukewarm and may be better used in summer time or for young kids.

I’ve been waiting for this to come on special and I am just delighted with it. There is no doubt it is the best hairdryer I’ve ever had and I’ve had many. I have baby fine hair that is in excellent condition, thanks to a brilliant hairdresser and loving care but if not cared for it is a nightmare.

The hair dryer is QUIET which is wonderful as I hate noisy appliances. It is very, very well balanced and easy to hold with the surface coated, not shiny/slippery. It is a little heavier than I prefer but because it is so well balanced that isn’t an issue.

The folding handle makes for easy storage. My hair responds beautifully to this excellent dryer without frizz or dryness. The result is soft, natural and bouncy. A really excellent hair dryer, well worth the cost.

Whilst I’m a gadget lover I have never looked at the high end hairdryers previously being of the belief it should just do what it says on the tin so why bother wasting money. I’m now a convert, my hair has never looked healthier I found the different settings incredibly easy to use & during the recent hot weather the intelligent temperature control mode has prevented that hot sticky feeling that I usually get when drying my hair & prevents that limp hair situation caused because your sweating & blowing hot air straight on to your head or is that just me?!? Having never used Nanoe & Double mineral hairdryers previously I was actually shocked at how lightweight, shiny & strong my hair felt & looked within a short space of time.

The settings are all one click with clear indication of which setting you are on, so simple to use. The foldable handle makes it easy to store or hang the hairdryer keeping my bedroom looking nice. I found I didn’t need to straighten my hair as often which was definitely healthier for my hair.

My son suffers with a dry itchy scalp, he said that his scalp was a lot less itchy after using for just a week, hopefully it will continue to get better for him. The one thing I thought must be a gimmick but has actually wowed me is the skin care mode, my OH actually asked if I’d been out for a facial, my skin had a natural healthy glow, the whole process felt really relaxing, it’s a pleasure to sit there for a minute, letting the air flow over my face, very relaxing.

The hairdryer is lightweight so even tho I have a spinal condition with weakening in my hands & arms I found it easy to use. I haven’t done any maintenance on the dryer as of yet but the instruction manual is in plain English, so it seems straightforward & I don’t envisage any issues at all.

I’m extremely pleased with the hairdryer, it’s stylish, easy to use & the quality you would expect from Panasonic. I given the product by Panasonic to review as part of the Panasonic Reviewer Programme.
