Who LOVES their hairdryer and would like to recommend it to me?!

My Parlux 3000 was spitting sparks at me this morning. It's about 10years old but I thought I'd have got longer out of it.

I need to buy one for weekend delivery. Tempted to buy same again as I hate decision making when there's so much choice...

So unless you've a hairdryer that you highly recommend...?!

Another one who loves their Dyson here, sold my GHD one and replaced with it after trying my MILs

I'm on my second Nicky Clarke 2200W frizz control hairdryer. It's £33 on Amazon. Quick and hot and a really long cord

catchmewhenifall · 07/12/2023 20:35

I think the trouble is I have dead straight hair and tge dyson basically knotted it up into dreadlocks!

backonthemerrygoround · 07/12/2023 20:36

Also dyson - game changer and I own every device ever. Just the hairdryer though.

Another Dyson supersonic lover here.
Ive also just bought the shark speedstyle but not a fan so I am passing it onto my daughter.

Riverstep · 07/12/2023 20:42

Another vote for Dyson here 🤣

hidethexylophone · 07/12/2023 20:46

Another Dyson lover here too! I never particularly wanted one, it was a surprise present from my DH, but it's great. I never have to straighten my hair anymore, it leaves it so smooth and shiny. I just have the standard hairdryer, not the air wrap.

RoséProsecco · 07/12/2023 20:56

Parlux 385 power light - love it

Vettrianofan · 07/12/2023 21:03

£15 hairdryer out of Lidl.

EverythingLouderThanEverythingElse · 07/12/2023 21:10

I had a Dyson and hated it. Cheapy Babyliss suits my hair much better, I'd never buy an expensive hairdryer again.

Dippydinosaurus · 07/12/2023 21:22

Parlux but not sure which model. It's 14 years old and still as good as new. Gets used twice a day on mine and DDs hair

Alrueb · 07/12/2023 21:24

Does anyone have a recommendation for a hairdryer WITHOUT Ionic technology?? I started my own thread but didn't get any replies xx

Moveoverdarlin · 07/12/2023 21:27

I’ve had a Dyson for 8 years. It’s fine, but not worth the money IMO. If I go out, I revert to a 20 year old Nicky Clarke one, which I prefer.

mimiasovitch · 07/12/2023 21:42

I have a Laifen swift - bought on recommendation of curly girl instagrammers. I previously had a shark which had an excellent diffuser, but it kept cutting out, even though I only used low heat, so in returned it. The Laifen dries my hair so fast, I'm glad I had to change.

Charmatt · 07/12/2023 22:13

I bought a Shark 5 in 1. It's brilliant!

ChilliPB · 07/12/2023 22:33

I’ve got the Dyson Supersonic. I love it - it’s much quicker, lighter and quieter than other hairdryers I’ve used. And it leaves my hair so soft and shiny - I really like the flyaway attachment. It leaves my hair looking like I’ve had a blow dry at the hairdresser.

Nutellaonall · 07/12/2023 22:35

I always have two hair dryers on the go as I have a lot of hair. I bought my Dyson most recently when they first came out. I had a diva for approx 5 years before that, the diva is still going. The Dyson is dying. I use both all the time. So not getting a Dyson. Can reccomend a diva.
Asked DH for the most expensive Parlux however as never tried. Getting the digitalyon I think. Can’t wait.

squeekychicken · 07/12/2023 22:57

Love my Dyson supersonic.

Strawberryshortcake90 · 07/12/2023 23:01

Love my GHD Helios

BMIwoes · 07/12/2023 23:12

I have very fine, lightweight mid length hair and have dyson airwrap, it's fantastic. My hair has never had bounce before, now it's almost kate middleton-esque! And it dries my hair v quickly.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 07/12/2023 23:14

Dyson here too
I love the comb attachment and the curved smoothing tool . My hair is very fragile and after hairloss last year its growing back wavy ! I love the cooler setting .

DD has long thick wavy hair , using the Dyson means she doesn't need her straighteners .

Terraz · 07/12/2023 23:27

Another vote for the Dyson Airwrap, it has truly changed my life!! So expensive but really worth it. It takes a while to get used to how to use it but once you’ve got the hang of it it’s amazing. It’s really improved the condition of my hair

Letsrunabath · 07/12/2023 23:29

I’m so pleased to hear that, my husband has just gave me a Dyson supersonic hair dryer as a gift tonight. I’ve a hair appointment tomorrow so will not be using it for a few days. I’ve also got thick course hair.

keffie12 · 07/12/2023 23:33

I've got the Dyson hairdryer. Yes expensive however worth every penny

Mummyoflittledragon · 07/12/2023 23:46

I have lots of, frizzy/wavy hair half way down my back. I bought this to try a couple of months ago as I didn’t want something pricey like an air wrap. It’s ace and so easy to use. The brush isn’t detachable so it is just a brush dryer but it leaves my hair almost straight with a little volume and slight kink at the ends, which for me is perfect as straight is too harsh. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B072VH43KL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
