Some now are just the barrel and you hold the hair </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer/page/2#post-2194074 Mon, 10 May 2021 16:50:15 +0000 Zaeobi 2194074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you mean by 'clipless', sorry? That the curling iron doesn't 'clip' in place once you twirl a piece of hair around the wand? </p> <p>Sorry lol I'm having a hard time thinking of where the clip would go - as you can probably imagine, I can't remember the last time I used heat to curl (not straighten) my hair, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer/page/2#post-2193894 Sun, 09 May 2021 19:24:08 +0000 Gigi 2193894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have heard good things about Dyson. Manes by Mell (YouTube channel, curly-hair stylist) loves her Dyson with its diffuser. It is really fast to dry the hair from what I hear. I'm sure it helps with frizz, or Mell wouldn't use it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer/page/2#post-2193891 Sun, 09 May 2021 19:17:30 +0000 Gigi 2193891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use a Revlon (model RV484), which I think I got at Walmart or Target or someplace similar. It was maybe $20? It comes with a couple of attachments--a diffuser and concentrator, I think. It has an ion switch. What I like about it is that it is not the most powerful blow dryer. I have wavy hair that easily gets frizzy, so I use a diffuser on low speed, and I find that some blow dryers are just too powerful even on low and blow my hair all around, even through the diffuser. There are three heat settings: high, low, and cool. This is my second Revlon, and they seem to last for quite a while, even though they're not super expensive.</p> <p>For my diffuser, I use a universal Conair one that has been really good. I got it from my hairdresser. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer/page/2#post-2193878 Sun, 09 May 2021 17:53:43 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2193878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds like me the first few times I sliced veggies on my new Mandoline. When I was out of fingers, I started using the holder tool thingie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer/page/2#post-2193874 Sun, 09 May 2021 17:38:12 +0000 rachylou 2193874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, Zaeobi! Remind me to wear the little glove thing that came with the clipless curling iron. Gave myself a righteous burn the last time I tried to use it and forgot it was clipless </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer/page/2#post-2193791 Sun, 09 May 2021 08:24:53 +0000 Zaeobi 2193791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Might be good for getting that 'American hair' @rachylou lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer/page/2#post-2193774 Sun, 09 May 2021 03:03:43 +0000 Aquamarine 2193774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, I was going thru cheap Conair dryers every year. My hair is really thick and they just couldn’t hack it. I finally upgraded to a Babyliss (at the recommendation of this forum—maybe Ms. Mary?—a few years ago, if I remember correctly). I loved it and it still works just fine.<br />&nbsp;<br />But then my husband bought me a Dyson for my birthday (ridiculously $$ but fabulously fast at drying my hair) so the Babyliss currently sits unused.</p> <p>I do recommend Babyliss, however...it’s definitely a workhorse.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer/page/2#post-2193743 Sat, 08 May 2021 23:38:45 +0000 gryffin 2193743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dyson dryer alone should be less </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer/page/2#post-2193741 Sat, 08 May 2021 23:37:18 +0000 gryffin 2193741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both rachy help w frizz a lot. Dyson is amazing. Fast. Less damage. In winter I can use the sedu. Best for blowing bangs perfectly straight. More loft but less straightening. I tend to use both. But the dyson is incredible for my hair </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer/page/2#post-2193740 Sat, 08 May 2021 23:31:01 +0000 rachylou 2193740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Sedu helps with frizz? Or the Dyson, or both? I really need a diffuser thing, but may have to check out brushes at some point. That sorta catches my eye... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer/page/2#post-2193739 Sat, 08 May 2021 23:24:36 +0000 gryffin 2193739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy - I have baby fine hair (a lot of it) prone to frizzing and waving in humidity. The grays do not help this situation. I blow my hair in a very sleek inverted bob so I ask a lot of my tools. I winter (when humidity is low) and on bangs I use the Sedu revolution. In summer, with the humidity I use the dyson air wrap brushes. Hugely expensive even w open box and Amex points but I get smooth and less frizz amazingly. I’ve used the T3 in the past but think the sedu is superior in performance and longevity. I also have the ghd flat iron and brush for emergency straightening but go w least possible force when able. I do fine professional grade tool work better and are less damaging. If your hair needs less help babyliss is very popular and more affordable but I did not get the defrizzing I needed. They make a super cute foldable travel drier that I gave to my son. He loves it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer/page/2#post-2193693 Sat, 08 May 2021 17:44:39 +0000 Zaeobi 2193693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did someone say 'diffuser'? I'll just leave this here (for anyone who knows how long &amp; tedious diffusing can be, lol):<br /> <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/n1mmt8/when_im_too_lazy_to_properly_diffuse/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/curly.....y_diffuse/</a> I also only blowdry halfway through (I plop my hair upside down otherwise). </p> <p>I second Parlux as being good (also recommended by my curly hairdresser) but I'm personally using my 'Panasonic EH-NE72 N Ionity' blowdryer. It's a good all-rounder, since it has a cold shot button that locks (no need to hold it down - would be good for your fringe @rachylou), it comes with a removeable diffuser attachment (which has a good spread) &amp; it's also foldable - so I can take it with me travelling/ to the gym :)</p> <p>For a pricier (&amp; more heavy duty) option, the Remington Pro Luxe is also good. Mine's back in the UK though, so I haven't used it in a while lol... but I remember it being good for winter hair. It was also quite the workout though, so the Panasonic one is probably the best overall (cheap &amp; light but very effective). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer/page/2#post-2193690 Sat, 08 May 2021 17:02:05 +0000 Anonymous 2193690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like your main criteria would be one with a good quality diffuser. Maybe looking at Amazon or Ulta reviews would give some guidance? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer/page/2#post-2193689 Sat, 08 May 2021 16:49:07 +0000 Nadya 2193689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m on my second Baby Bliss Pro, recommend by my hair stylist.</p> <p>It’s my second because I drop it a lot too and the little fins that connect the filter eventually all break off. But it’s not crazy expensive so getting one every five years or so is doable. I’m currently down to one fin so it may happen soon....I like it so much I bought the travel size too.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer/page/2#post-2193685 Sat, 08 May 2021 16:28:24 +0000 nuancedream 2193685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's a hair dryer? Just kidding, of course! I have a cheapie hair dryer with a a diffuser that I bought at Sally Beauty years ago. I only use it in the winter months because I don't like going out in cold weather with wet hair. With cropped hair, I air dry my hair to cut down on frizziness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer#post-2193534 Sat, 08 May 2021 00:34:42 +0000 MidwestrnChic 2193534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the T3 from Costco.

Theirs is in fact the best, most efficient (fast!) AND one of the cheapest I have ever owned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer#post-2193427 Fri, 07 May 2021 18:34:19 +0000 Style Fan 2193427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a very expensive one about 15 years ago - T3 ion - that I never use.&nbsp; Mr. Style Fan uses a Conair and he likes it.&nbsp; I use a BabyBliss hot airbrush when I want to be fancy and you can imagine how often that happens!&nbsp; I have tried the Revlon hot airbrush as well.&nbsp; As a matter of fact, I have tried all of those hot airbrushes and I like the BabyBliss one the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer#post-2193423 Fri, 07 May 2021 18:18:13 +0000 rachylou 2193423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys are great! The brush dryer is very intriguing - seems very popular! Although maybe very large Right now my style needs a diffuser. I usually blow dry it halfway so it’s not dripping, and then air dry the rest of the way.</p> <p>All right. Got to go back through the thread and make a list! I’m thinking maybe I don’t have to go anywhere too special. Maybe go to the drugstore or similar like Angie. The ion technology was new when I got the one I broke; it’s probably not special anymore like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer#post-2193406 Fri, 07 May 2021 17:30:54 +0000 Angie 2193406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use the cheapest one I can find at the drug store. Not much to blow dry, and I air dry 99% of the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer#post-2193368 Fri, 07 May 2021 15:12:11 +0000 texasgal 2193368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use a T3 hairdryer that I got at Costco (but retails at lots of places). I’ve been using it for several years- I have very fine hair and blow dry every day. I’ve found it’s been good for quick drying without excessive heat, and generates a lot of body with no static. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer#post-2193363 Fri, 07 May 2021 15:01:25 +0000 Katerina 2193363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a hair dryer from ghd. I have had it for years and it´s very durable, powerful and has a long cord. But I have just looked at the US prices - seems to be higher prices than what it costs here (I am in Sweden). Not sure it is worth the money...<br />I have a flat iron from Revlon - works very well.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/broke-my-hair-dryer#post-2193283 Fri, 07 May 2021 12:01:26 +0000 Anonymous 2193283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have a cheapo Conair cord keeper, prob cost about $40 if that. But it works well on DHs hair- which is thick and halfway down his back, so it's quick on my scrawny locks! </p>
