PARLUX!!!!!!!!!

I will never buy anything else again - really powerful and makes light work of my really thick hair.

I got mine online for £55 - worth every penny.

Tresemme hair dryer I've had mine for about 6 years - it's very high powered and i have very long hair it's done in about 10-15 minutes. 3 heat setting including cool.

Thanks Grin

Parlux I'm a hairdresser and won't use anything else well worth the money Iv had mine 3 years and it gets a lot of hammer

I was about to pop on and wax lyrical about Parlux.....but see that valiumredhead has already been on!
I'm currently saving up for one on the back of her recommendation. I am expecting miracles I tell ya!

PinkChampagneandStrawberries · 15/05/2012 22:28

Parlux it is then, you've all convinced me thanks Grin

One thing you have to be careful is that as it so powerful you can't hold it on max heat in one spot or you will fry your hair - you need to keep it moving and then blast with the cool option to set it. It's easy to get used to doing.

say Oh Lord - pressure!!! Wink Grin

Boots own make hair dryers are brilliant (& good value) - I've had mine at least 5 years, after burning out branded hair dryers in a matter of months

Graciescotland · 16/05/2012 10:31

I'd second Tresemme, I've had mine for five years and it's great. I think it was under £20 in a boots half price sale.

valiumredhead - I'm not stalking you I promise! Where did you buy your Parlux at £55? And which model? TIA

EllenParsons · 16/05/2012 14:07

Mine is a John Frieda ionic frizz ease one and I love it. It is loud but dries quickly without turning my head into a frizzy mess.

fluffiphlox · 16/05/2012 16:09

I baulked at the price of the Parlux and saw the recommendations for the ETI professional hair dryer on Amazon. Reader, I bought one.
I am VERY pleased with it. It was about £45.

valiumredhead · 16/05/2012 16:15

say - I will try and remember, it was £55 and free postage and it's the Parux 360. Lord, I just hope you like it! Grin

valiumredhead · 16/05/2012 16:19

say sorry it's a Parlux 3200 and its from LOOKFANTASTIC website - that style got an award I have just noticed too. I got the red - it's beooooooooootiful :)

saythatagain · 17/05/2012 14:16

val - I've only gone and ordered one! I lovely purple one....

valiumredhead · 18/05/2012 08:31

say Oooooooooooooo! How exciting! PM me when you have used it and let me know how you get on with it Grin
