Hairdryers

molly09

Hi

I am wondering could you recommend a really good hair dryer, it takes ages to dry my hair and therefore I never really dry it completely. I also have very frizzy hair.
I am willing to spend on this hairdryer as I will be using it a few times a week and I am hoping it will help with the frizz if I dry my hair completely.

Thank you

You need a salon model. I have a Parlux, which I absolutely love. Others on here have recommended another brand which escapes me right now but begins with E, iirc.

I've never tried it and therefore have no idea what its like, but isn't the new Dyson hairdryer supposed to be amazing - light, v fast and great for frizzy hair. Although I believe its really expensive. Would be interested to hear people's experiences of it...

I just got a new hairdryer for Christmas. Its a new brand called Lanaiblo. I was a bit dubious as a load of bloggers were sent them for free and thought their reviews might not have been exactly truthful but have to say Im really impressed with it. Its a salon quality dryer and the salon I bought it from have started using them on their clients.
I previously had an eti turbo stratus from peter mark which was also very good but my new one is lighter in the hand so arms dont get exhausted drying my below shoulder length hair

I have this make as well. Find it good, however the handle annoys me so much. I find that the buttons switch off easily when I'm drying my hair. They are placed badly as the handle is very short. It feels very awkward to hold. Hope that makes sense!

Mine is a 3700 but I'm not sure if that particular model is still available as I bought it before the EU directive on power came into effect.

I have the one they sell in Peter Mark, it's great and is always mentioned when hairdryers are brought up here, so probably that one!

I got a Salon Series Christmas 2014, it is professional standard and I have used it on every 3rd or 4th day after washing my hair. It is super light, 12.7 ozs with loads of other good things but you can read about it for yourself. I used to have a Borsch Classic but it kept cutting out, not "volksprung Deutsch technique!" It finally gave up the ghost after 6+ months.

Drying your hair on too high a heat setting will cause more frizz. You need to use a good pro quality heat protector before drying it gently. Also, try not to touch or fluff your hair whilst drying it.

I'm a hairdresser and use a Parlux 385 which is lightweight but robust. They have a newer model out that's even lighter now. I'm not a fan of the Dyson as I think it's far too expensive for what it offers.

I got mine about two years ago in a Peter Mark salon - can't remember the name but thing it begins with P. It's bloody brilliant. I have very thick hair and never used to dry it properly, so it stayed wavy and frizzy - now, no problem. Well, it's not exactly poker straight, but a million times better.

ETA it's this one http://shop.petermark.ie/mob/products.php?654&cPath=2_51&sid=pa6mi3pmdpkveq5g0f7keprkk5

Tank you for that, That's the one I have ordered!!!!, what heat protector would you recommend?

Sorry, I've only just read this post.

I use salon quality products so I generally stick with products by Joico, Kerastase, L'Oréal and Wella brands. I'm currently using Matrix Design Pulse but I think most of them work well providing you don't apply too much product.

If you can use Olaplex occasionally to repair the hair internally, that will help too.
