Need recommendations for gentle hairdryer

7 replies

Perimenopause has made my hair much thinner, it has always had a tendency to be wiry and frizzy. My Dyson hairdryer is now too hot and too fast. Can anyone recommend a more gentle dryer that is good at controlling the frizz?

What?! Oh no, I have been craving the Dyson as thought it had good blowing power without being too hot!

Why don't you just turn the Dyson down?

I have the babyliss multi tool thingy and the dryer tool on that is quite gentle I use it after ive left my hair to dry off for a bit.

Have you tried switching shampoos ? I also use the WoW money mist leave in conditioner it leave my hair swishy and shiny, combating the menopausal birds nest i had.

My hair has gone curly during menopause and I bought a remington travel hairdryer with a diffuser to take on work trips and accidentally found that it's much better than my bigger more expensive one I use at home. I've just ordered another one to use at home. I think travel dryers are just lower powered.

My hair is very fine and curly, goes frizzy very easily and in recent years has thinned quite a bit. I also use a cheap travel hairdryer with a universal diffuser. Expensive ones even turned low are too hot for me.

Clearly I should have mentioned that it is too hot and too fast on it’s lowest settings - unfortunately
