Full review

I wash my hair every 2 days and I'm always blow drying it, so I wanted a good hair-dryer. My most recent one was really heavy and made my arm ache a short while after blow drying my hair, so I wanted something light weight and of good quality.

***WHY DID I GO FOR THIS HAIR-DRYER?***
My hair straighteners are by Remington and they are a well known brand, especially for electrical/beauty items. I saw this in the boots catalogue priced at £19.99 which I thought was very reasonable.

The hair-dryer, was not only a reasonable price, but also quite small and lightweight. It was also known as an Ionic dryer, which I know gives better results when blow-drying. It also has a cool shot, which I find is important to set your hair-style. It also mentioned that it was faster at drying which is a bonus as it means less time on drying my hair when I'm getting ready to go out! If you are like me and always take ages to get ready on a night out, you will envy this product!

***SO WHATS SO SPECIAL ABOUT IONIC HAIR-DRYERS?***

- Preserves your hair's natural oil and seals in moisture.

These hair-dryers have long term durability and consistent performance. These devices are designed to withstand the almost constant needs of a busy professional hair-stylist, who can not afford to have poor performance or a product that breaks easily and needs to be replaced often.

The ionic hair-dryer is a recent development in hair dryer technology that actively conditions your hair as it dries. Traditional hair-dryers can damage your hair, this new revolutionary treatment refreshes and revitalises your hair and also helps to reduce drying time.

The charge ions bond water droplets to the shaft of the hair, where they are broken down to 1/50th of their normal size. Once the droplets have been broken down they are easily absorbed by the hair shaft, restoring shine and vitality to your hair and giving it a lustrous sheen of health that traditional hair dryers cant match.

In addition to this , an ionic dryer also helps to speed up the drying process itself. As the charge ions break down water into tiny droplets, less heat and less time is needed to dry your hair, minimising the stress and damage to the structure of your hair.

***PUTTING IT TO THE TEST***
When I first used this hair-dryer, the first thing I noticed was how light it was compared to my old Babyliss hair-dryer. The noise wasn't as loud as my last hair-dryer either.

I styled my hair into the normal style and using my round brush and the concentrator I started drying/styling my hair. I did notice that the product dried my hair a lot quicker and the temperature of the hair-dryer was just right. My last one, sometimes got so hot, it would make my scalp itch from where it was so hot!

The dryer was very straight forward to use. It was easy to control and easy to hold even after long periods of about 10-15mins! I use the cool shot for about 3 minutes all over my hair to set the style. After drying my hair, I immediately noticed how much healthier my hair looked and how much shinier and frizz free it looked. Normally I have quite a few wispy strands at the top of my head but with this dryer, they were significantly reduced. My hair felt softer and felt much healthier. It didn't feel dry or brittle.

It has a long salon length cord (2.5m), so it stretches quite far. I can even dry my hair in front of the mirror standing up, whereas before I hand to sit down as the cord wasn't long enough!

The concentrator bit to focus on drying a particular part of the hair at once is easy to push onto the end of the dryer and easy to remove. Its also really easy to use the concentrator, and the hair-dryer, whilst using a round brush for an even smoother, sleeker finish.

***COMPARISON TO MY OLD HAIR DRYER***

***OVERALL OPINION***
If you don't for this particular hair-dryer, which is extremely good and reliable, definitely go for an Ionic dryer, as they do perform up to their standards and are better for your hair. You will notice the difference in your hair first time you use this dryer and you'll wish you had bought one way before you did!
