The Silver Space gun Hair Dryer :)

Advantages: unique shape, not very noisey and doesn't burn my head
Disadvantages: quite expensive, takes a while to dry hair

The Morphy Richards 21024 model hair dryer is a bizarrely shaped little piece of equipment. made from hard silvery and dark grey plastic it's got a long black wire which is about 3 meters long, more than enough to reach the top of your head when stood. Obviously this depnds how high you stand, if your only little like me at 5ft 5 then you'd find you have a bit of slack on the wire so you can ruffle and puff you're hair whilst styling and drying. ...
...Style: The sleek and stylish space age design of this product means I can use it to style my locks, or when switched off, makes a cool weapon and accessory for a fancy dress outfit. I was Lara Croft, I know not space agey at all but I needed a gun..... for a uni bar crawl thing. I might upload the pics from that night actually, I'll have to ask the photographers permission first, and the permission of my best friend who is barely dressed as Ariel ...

Ionic technology - believe it or not?

Advantages: Good range of heat settings. Cold shot. ?Ionic technology. Long lead.
Disadvantages: Large and heavy to use. A bit noisy.

I was deeply sceptical about the "ionic technology". The idea is that static electricity (which can make hair bush out) is not built up by this drier so your hair lies smoother on your head. Whatever the drier emits when the blue button is pressed, I do think that it (or something) makes my hair less flyaway. You can switch it off if you like. There are 3 heat levels and 3 fan speeds.The "cold shot" is useful for helping to set a style before venturing ...
...and dries hair quickly but inevitably, given its power, is a bit noisy. The long lead makes it relatively easy to look in a mirror when drying hair. Unfortunately the dryer is a lot larger and heavier than my old Braun, which doesn't have a direct replacement, so it's less comfortable to use and takes up more storage space. For travel I prefer something smaller, lighter and quieter. However as a home drier I would recommend it. ...

Does it well

Advantages: Super tool
Disadvantages: Huge

Decided to hunt for a new dryer when mine starting making sounds like it was going to fire a piece of metal at me and so the hunt began... Started at Boots and after realising there was no way I was going to pay £40 for a dryer with 'the works' wandered to Powerhouse. Very limited selection but what a find this was, at just £14.98 (non sale) it was fantastic! A motor diffuser for when your feeling lazy or just too hung over, it gives your hair that ...

Smoooooth it out

Advantages: Stops static hair
Disadvantages: Not very powerful

...certainly recommend it. We've had babyliss hairdryers for years now and this is the best of the lot. It does exactly what it's supposed to and it comes with a free brush. *Appearance* ------------------- - I've seen better looking hairdryers, the colours are quite nice but the shape is a little bland. There's a large jet for the hot air and a small pipe shaped jet for the ions... which, by the way you can't feel if you put your hand ...

The everyday straightener

Advantages: Ease of use, ionic, doesn't damge hair
Disadvantages: You wont get poker straight hair

...available I decided that the Vidal sasson hair hydration straighteners and the most features available for the best price and went out and bought a pair. Hurrah! Beautiful straight hair, I thought to myself…. THE PRODUCT The make I bought was the Vidal Sassoon Hair hydration Ionic straightener. Wow that sounds like it does a huge amount of great things to my hair! My hair is damaged at the ends and after years of styling it was starting to get ...
...it hydrated my hair sounded great! Here are the great features. IONIC This means that it locks moisture into your hair, and also makes it really shiny after you have used the product, by sending out a wave of ions from the appliance whilst you are using it. This also nourishes hair and stops it from getting so damaged. CERAMIC PLATES Ceramic plates are a common popular feature of most straighteners available on the market, heating up very fast ...
