And i need a new one

It short circuited lots of sparks smoke and drama

Any recommendations?

I used to have a professional one and am now seeing cheap hair dryers as a false economy.

Thanks

You need the compact 3200

I ordered mine from LookFantastic but have just seen they are £70 now! I bought mine from them for £55 about 6 months ago Shock

Parlux parlux parlux -they are amazing and there is a reason hairdressers use them. You won't need more than 3200 for home use - it's much bigger than it looks on the screen - there is nothing compact about it - it's a full size drier.

ChablisLover · 16/11/2012 10:47

wheres the best (cheapest) place to buy them online?

Thanks

Oh good price - what colour did you get?

valiumredhead · 16/11/2012 15:27

www.saloneasy.com/straighteners/fhiwide.htm

anyone know about straighteners? These say they are the hottest on the market - is that a good thing? Such a good price!

ChablisLover · 16/11/2012 18:25

Got plain black - boring I know but I like black Blush

OP posts:
valiumredhead · 16/11/2012 21:14

Black is never wrong!

ChablisLover · 16/11/2012 21:21

Plus I use it on ds and he would refuse a pink one - too girly

Ooh thanks Chablis I just ordered one off there for DD for Christmas. She's nearly 12 and asked for a decent hair dryer because hers is rubbish and takes forever to dry her long hair. It's expensive but I figure it should get a lot of use through her teens.

MeDented · 16/11/2012 21:29

Oh and I went for purple!

ChablisLover · 17/11/2012 20:13

Seriously impressed

I ordered the new parlux dryer yesterday lunchtime

It arrived today and I'm in far flung bit of the uk.

Dh think I should have gone for the 3800 but I think the 3200 is ample.

valiumredhead · 17/11/2012 21:00

My hair is really thick and the 3200 i smote than enough power.
