Professional hairdryer

Any recommendations? How much should I spend? I have 2 DD's that are swimming twice a week. One in particular has very thick hair, I have shoulder length hair so between the 3 of us it's a lot of hair to get dry! I am looking for a hairdryer that drys hair fast and doesn't damage the hair either. Is GHD the one to buy?

Actually think I mean Dyson rather than GHD. Any thoughts?

Oh they are about a third of the price of Dyson! Well worth considering. Thanks

Parlux. Ours is 10 years old and going strong (bar minor repair to cord holder) and used at least twice a day.

My salon uses Parlux. I've got a Dyson which is really good but I find the temp settings all too hot, even the lowest is really hot.

The Dyson took way longer to dry my hair than my GHD (which is super old now).

Also have heard great things about Parlux though.

That's great thanks, sounds like parlux is the leader then. I have also looked at the GHD helios. I mostly want it to dry hair faster as we are using it so often but parlux being lightweight is a good feature too.
I've gone off Dyson now. Twice the price of the other suggestions and doesn't seem worth it

It's fab
My Dh bought me the Dyson hairdryer a few years ago and I swopped it for one of their vacuum cleaners!Grin

Parlux

I got a parlux after seeing them recommended on here and I love it. Worthy every penny Smile

CoolKitkat · 21/06/2021 09:12

Which Parlux would you recommend, there are several types? Does anyone know where might be a good place to get one, or if they have deals on these? Thanks!

Parlux Alyon from Just My Look

I have a Dyson and it’s brilliant-halved the drying time of the one I had before, is really quiet and my hair is in much better condition.

Thank you!

I have thick hair and my Parlux dries my hair in no time without drying it out. Not cheap but much much cheaper than a Dyson

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 21/06/2021 10:10

I have use a Dyson and much prefer my Parlux.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 21/06/2021 10:11

@CoolKitkat you're welcome Smile

Lemonteanomilk · 21/06/2021 20:44

I've just bought a GHD Helios and recommend it. I haven't tried a Parlux though.
