Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I believe in transparency but I hope you will keep in mind 2 things when reading my review. First, if you look at my profile and my other reviews, you will see I have never reviewed an item for any incentive before. I'm not one of those Vine reviewers who always says something is great because they got it for free and you get it and it's garbage. Second, you will see I rate items honestly. If it's garbage, I will say so, if it's great I'll say so. Ok, now to the point. I did have to buy this item first. I have shelled out my own money and will not get reimbursed until after I review. I get my money back regardless of my review so I have nothing to lose. That being said, this hair dryer actually lived up to it's reputation. I've had it for a little over a week now and use it every day. I am at an age where hormones are wreaking havoc on my hair and I have to wash it every day. That means drying every day. What I noticed right out of the box is how lightweight this dryer is. It has a silicon type feel so it's not slippery hard plastic. That means it's easy to grip and won't crack. Next, the buttons are sideways so while gripping to dry, you won't accidentally change your settings. The accessories actually snap in and they work! My current dryer has accessories but they often don't fit right and really don't work, especially the diffuser. This diffuser works incredibly well and I don't even have super curly hair! It helped my sad waves and gave my hair body and volume, something I sorely need now that my hair is thinning. :( Regarding the claim of drying faster. I would say yes, a bit faster for sure but the more important thing is healthier. I can use a lower heat and airflow setting with this dryer and yet still finish in slightly faster time than my old Revlon dryer. What is the best is it isn't making my hair fly away! With my current dryer I can have static on a seriously rainy day. That is not cool. With this one, no static. Not on rainy days and not on dry winter days. That's HUGE! Lastly, I believe this dryer has been much healthier for my hair. The ends don't feel as dry, my hair definitely lays smoother, no flyaways, no frying, just silky soft. So, I didn't have to leave a positive review but I am happy to do so. I believe in giving credit where it is due. If something happens to this dryer and it burns out long before it should or whatever, I will update this review. I do follow up my reviews if necessary. If you need a dryer, give this one a whirl. It's a great product at a fantastic price. I would definitely say it performs as good as the ones my hair stylists use.
