Best hairdryer?

[smiles4u]

I've worked in the hair industry ... and have never been a fan of the WAHL hairdryers ... way too heavy

I'm in need of a new hairdryer too so I will be watching this thread for suggestions

(I know I WANT a med to light weight, have cool shot, a diffuser with long tongs, & the preferably the slide dials on the side not inside of hairdryer arm ... have only ever found one with all of these BUT was way too expensive)

GOOD-LUCK hope you find a super Hairdryer that you are after

Definitely recommend the Parlux 3200 Ceramic & ionic, its awesome. Expensive as hair dryers go but its really good. The salon I go to all use them. I have never been able to straighten my hair without heaps of work, but this dryer does the trick well without leaving my hair fluffy and it does it fast. I don't seem to get any damage from drying my hair, and for someone that would need a straightner at the best of times I can actually just dry my hair straight with my fingers and my parlux. I love it! It has also one a few awards as well.

Mmm - the heaviness factor is something I have to consider as I have very little cartlidge in my wrist, so may rule out the Wahl. Are the Parlux or babyliss ones heavy? My main concern is the heat as I have very fine hair I need something that I can have warm but not hot with variable fan settings.

There's a babyliss pro 2800 on ebay for $35 plus $16 postage... this seems like a good price - does anyone know if this is a good dryer and not too heavy?

I'm a Parlux girl - they last for years and years and are so strong..

Another hairdresser here. I still have the same Parlux from when I had my own salon 5 years ago, it is the twin turbo ionic 3000 and I love it to bits!!! I have dropped it several times and it got a beating in the salon for 2 years and still keeps going. I used my mums cheapie in Canada and it took forever to dry my hair using it. When I got back I was in bliss, my hair was dried in 5 mins flat. (I only dry off and then straighten with an ionic iron)

So Parlux all the way!!!

ETA just weighed the Parlux and this model weighs 880gms. There are 2 switches to control heat and speed as well.

what's the best hairdryer to use for curly hair?

I have very wavy hair, almost curly and my parlux gets my hair straight in 5 minutes without a brush, so I would definitely suggest the parlux.
