Hairdryer recommendation?

4 replies

I'm in the market for a new hair dryer - don't want to spend a fortune maybe £25 maximum.

I have straight, chin length, fine hair (but loads of it, so it looks thick iyswim?).

I don't have any particular issues in terms of frizz or anything, but i don't have long in the mornings to dry it (and usually I need to blast my 2 sons hair dry before I get to mine!)

I have three hair dryers. A parlux, a diva and one I can't remember, it's probably babyliss and I bought it for holidays.

The diva was a lot cheaper than the parlux but is better/nicer to use.

I would have a look at Boots offers so that you get a more expensive one that is on offer

Not on offer but in your budget

Check out the Boots website as you can read the user reviews.

I'm a hairdresser and I can safely say parlux just aren't as good as they used to be, lifetime on them seemed shorter, and their performance was becoming mediocre. We switched to Diva Diva veloce 3800 pro at our salon but for my mobile clients I use the Nicky Clarke Vitesse 2100 watt, it gives brilliant results and cuts drying time Smile

I'm lusting after a Collexia....

Bababooey, that's interesting.

Mine is a Diva dynamica 4000 pro and I bought it from TK maxx for the same price as a bog standard brand from Boots.

It's bright pink and powerful. As I've got older my hair has got thicker and I need a powerful hairdryer to dry it quickly when need be.
