Expensive hair dryers are they worth it ?

No, I can’t hold a heavy hair dryer so I use a lightweight Babyliss travel dryer and it’s powerful enough. Sorry, not much help!

Iwouldn't give Dyson my money for any of his overpricec ..chinese made products .I too have a Babyliss and long hair and it works very well ,think I paid under £30 for it years ago

Mine was about £20 from Amazon - nice and lightweight but it doesn't mean that I can blow dry my hair the same as a hardresser can do - you'd need to take your head off and stick it on a pole to get an all round my head, including the back that I can never do!
I think, for that reason , that I'm wondering if it is worth spending that much money !

I've never had an expensive hair dryer, I imagine they are quite heavy like the ones they have in salons, I can't see what they'd do that a bog standard one wouldn't, just more powerful. I've a jaw length bob I use a heated brush to better effect than the dryer once I've rough dried first.

I find that my short grey hair dries so quickly that I no longer need a hair dryer. I do have an old one, just in case I need it sometime.
Some of these modern ones seem ludicrously expensive.

I wouldn’t spend that much on a hairdryer. I have had mine for many years Sunhair 3200. I prefer a higher voltage as the hair is dried quicker so I don’t have to hold it up for so long.

I am utterly ashamed to say that I have a nearly £400 Dyson Airwrap

In my defence, I bought it at a time when I was having terrible trouble with my hair. I was loosing it, basically (my hair, not my marbles).
I threw lots of money at the problem (nothing worked)

It turns out that I had a huge Vitamin D deficiency.

Anyway, now that my hair has grown back (hurray!) I follow the Curly Girl Method.

My hair always air dries now.

The Airwrap hasn’t been out of its fancy box for over two years

£400 I'd want a salon finish blow dry for that much money and every time!!!! but of course that can't be achieved because the hair has to be lifted up from the root, by someone standing over doing it............oh maybe the dryer came with a person to do just that Fanny but do they go in the drawer with the hairdryer, cos you don't want them hanging around the house, do you ?

I'm another who prefers a hairdryer that is not too heavy due to arthritis and I certainly would not spend £300 plus on a Dyson, like his vacuum cleaners, far to heavy. I do have one of those styling brushes, bought as I thought it would help give a bit of oomph! (volume) but it is really too large for me to hold comfortably so like Fanny's hairdryer it is out of sight and unused.

No way would I spend pounds ten on something that blows hot air, the 1 I use was a cheapo 1, does the job.

I only have a hair dryer used when I am in a salon. At home I dry my hair early evening and it dries naturally. It is short and very thick.

My Scottish upbringing would not allow me to spend so much money on a hairdryer. They do not appear to be worth the extra cash.

I’d love to try the Dyson hairdryer. My hair is the bane of my life so if it did the trick it would be worth the money. I also have dexterity issues with my hand. DH bought me the GHD version for Christmas. Tried it once but it is so heavy I went straight back to my Tresemme one. It’s never been out the box since. Waste of money.

The Dyson hairdryer is actually very light.

And it does leave your hair incredibly smooth.

If you have really beautiful hair and you want it sleek, smooth and shiny; it is actually very good.
Probably not £400 good though…

It works differently to other dryers - it actually sucks, not blows.

It does the job a lot quicker too.

But I never got the hang of the wrap things which are supposed to
make soft ringlets

Perhaps I could do a GN raffle for my Dyson ?? ?

I let my thick hair dry naturally. Hair dryers tend to dry it out and my hair is dry enough anyway!

Grandmadinosaur if you buy one from QVC you could try it out for 60 days.
That’s where I got mine from for that reason.
The non Air Wrap version is probably quite a bit less pricey than mine.
I will have a look…

There’s this one 729210

Well, that didn’t work

I’ve bought her a 2nd hand book for her birthday, though, Callistemon - couldn’t resist when it came up as I was ordering something else from abebooks.

A good old Enid Blyton - ‘The Naughtiest Girl In The School’!
I dare say I shall have to explain what a governess was (the one who couldn’t cope with the naughtiness any more) but apart from that I think it’ll be fine.

Oops, wrong thread, sorry!

My hair is difficult - thick, wavy, prone to frizz. Have tried many types of dryers, straighteners, stylers over the years.
Best solution for me - I use a normal type hairdryer( look for a low noise one- not expensive) to get it almost dry.
Then style with a Babyliss big hair 42cm brush dryer. It’s brilliant!! Smooths, curls, styles - I can make my hair look as good as the hairdressers. Does not damage hair / dry it out. Can be used in between washes for a quick restyle/ freshen. Both my DD and several friends have bought the Babyliss on my recommendation - all agree it’s marvellous. Takes a few goes to master so persevere!

I am prepared to pay up to £40 for a hair dryer.

I let my hair dry naturally and only give it a few minutes at the end to make sure it is dry before I use my curling tongs. I only wash my hair every 5 days so unless I was told the Dyson was a miracle worker I won’t be buying it.

Thanks for your help. ?‍♀️

Another one for the babyliss travel dryer. I do have a hot brush that I use occasionally. I can’t hold up the big dryers for long and wouldn’t dream of buying one of those overpriced dryers ?

Please be assured that I don’t usually spend loads of money like that.
It was quite out of character.
At the time my hair looked pretty dreadful.
I spent a lot more on every pill, potion, gizmo, the lot; to help the hair loss.
I was only months away from having a hair system.
Thankfully the Vitamin D stopped it from falling out (I had to have a really high prescription dose)
