Bought a Parlux 385 hairdryer based on all the positive comments I've seen both here and elsewhere about them in the hopes it would help tame my hair. I was fairly sceptical as I have very thick, long hair that is curly and frizzy left to its own devices. I usually just rough dry it, after which it is a dry frizzy mess ( my ds says it makes me look like Robert Plant on a bad day ) and only looks reasonable after I use straighteners.
Just dried my hair with the Parlux and was amazed at the difference. Just rough dried it as usual so I could compare it to my old drier and even so I could actually, for the first time ever, have ventured out without having to use straighteners. It was pretty much straight all over with the exception of a couple of slightly wavy bits at the front, but the waves were soft and actually looked ok rather than my usual frizzy blow drying aftermath. If I had taken time to use a brush as I dried, then I think it would all be straight.
But my hair is not just straight, the condition is better too, both soft and shiny which I have never had before after blow drying. The hairdryer has ceramic ionic technology which I hadn't expected to do much really but the combination of that and the higher power of the dryer have transformed my hair.
I have never had a professional quality dryer before and thought that the extra price wouldn't be justified by its performance and expected that I would probably be disappointed as my hair is so unruly but have to say I am absolutely amazed at the difference a better hairdryer has made.
