BaByliss Elegance Dryer 5560DU

Hairdryers are things I have long taken for granted. I don't blow dry my hair every time I wash it, and my daughter still prefers to dry her hair naturally and then straighten it, so they don't get used heavily in my house, but I couldn't imagine not having one to deal with having to get ready in a hurry or to style my hair.

I got this as a Christmas present this year and must say I'm quite happy with it so far. It's a good looking little dryer, nice purple colour and quite a few functions.
