My GHD is dead so I’m going to buy a new hairdryer i I haven’t had any complaints with my ghd, but it hasn’t lasted as long as I’d liked so any recommendations? I have fine, flyaway, bobbed hair

I love my Parlux dryer. I had a previous one that lasted over 10 years. Super powerful and WAY better than any of the basic hairdryers I'd used in the past

Also have a parlux and it’s fantastic.

I've got a Parlux too, the 385 Light. It's fabulous, I love it.

I have the Parlux 3500 SuperCompact Ceramic Ionic, after doing a LOT of research.
If im totally honest, I've been a bit disappointed given the amount of time I spent researching and the amount of money I spent, it doesnt really give me much of a different output than the hairdryer I was using before, which was a 12 year old GHD hairdryer (the first one GHD actually made, I think)
I've had it for 8 months now and im just not sure I'll bother again, annoyingly in that time I used a cheap babyliss travel hairdryer in an airbnb and it was amazing! Should have made a note of the model.
I would love to try a Dyson or a Shark to see if its worth it, but noone i know owns one that I could borrow.

I have had a Shark and a Dyson. I stupidly gave my MIL my Dyson when I bought the Shark and I actually don't like the Shark one at all but can't ask for my Dyson back!! So now I am using a £20 babyliss one from boots lol xx

I also have a shark flex and that can be used as a hair dryer and honestly it’s rubbish fantastic for curling my hair but don’t like it as a hair dryer.

I have a random one I bought off Amazon, it has a cold setting which I love. My hair is very fine too and a good blast with cold air seems to give it volume and shine.

I have fine flyaway hair too. Long bob. My Dyson supersonic with the smoothing coanda attachment was a great investment. Well worth the money. Now I never use straighteners and I’m not damaging my hair with high temperatures.
