Eye TRIED It!
I DID NOT PURCHASE BEFORE I USED.. I came across this as I was in the early parts of a deep conditioning at home when my own 25 year hooded dryer broke. So who do call when you can't get to a store..Cold air..wet conditioned hair..no..so I called the almighty BFF...Here she comes with this little bigger than a laptop dainty hair dryer..I'm thinking..oh my this is going to take all night..just luckily my plans weren't something to break a deal over..so I set off in this adventure with where my hooded dryer left off...I placed the light weight bonnet over my color treatment..on medium..the heat was amazing..so back to the water..after completing the water rounds..I then returned with out a plastic cap to the high setting..yes ma'am.. It was hot immediately. The good heat make you continue to adjust your ear..yes the bonnet comes with an adjustable string..and I have a tiny head..I had leakage.. Which I fixed by using my scarf to tie around the hose and the bottom of the bonnet to pull everything more to the center of my head..yes I could have turned it down but the same hot enough to make you squirm goes down past medium...I never said my head..
The only real con..the hose is expectedly heavier than the bonnet..which creates a pull downward. Which also creates leakage..I would suggest a hose hanger of some sort and additional footage of hose..
Overall...remember when I said I used it before I bought it...I wrote this while I used it and then paid for it..the noise the other post talks about..no you won't be watching TV unless you want the neighbors to think your crazy..but a simple set of headphones.. Or a comfort level of a hair dryer... I guess this is the same as me sitting the salon under the dryer..no diffence to me..I enjoy the me time..I can write reviews.. Blog even watch a show or two..smh idk..apparently wasn't that bad..I bought

AFTER a cross country move, I finally had my first experience with the hose. At first it was trying to weasel it's way from between the two thin pieces of plastic..caught that with a bit of tape. Second time, hose and the piece to secure it to the bonnet totally seperated..now I can't call the bff..so I went searching for a solution. My solution, a very thin layer of water solvable grout..or whatever you call the stuff on the back of the sink in clear...it heats and moves nicely, the dryer gets damn hot so I'm thinking the adhesive comes loose from that. Can I take it off..no..but why do I want to besides to move it..it now won't fit in the case..heyyy..i used a plastic bag for the entire unit..if this doesn't work..im ordering a new unit..i love the heat of this thing. And still..a longer cord should help with the tearing from the bonnet..enjoy
