2 weeks ago when I was blow drying my hair with my old hairdryer it suddenly made a loud noise then sparks and smoke came out from the back, guess I’ve been using it too much every night and day and haven’t been cleaning the rear filter! And I knew this is the best opportunity and excuse to get a new hairdryer!! lol I’ve been waiting for this day for so long!!
Anyways after that day, I’ve been looking at Boots to find my next new hairdryer! There are quite a few brands to choose from (Remington, Vidal Sassoon, Tresemme, BaByliss, Philips and Revlon) and I wasn’t sure which one is good! But one of them (Revlon) really stands out from the crowd!!
~~~ Why did I choose Revlon? ~~~
I’ve chosen this Revlon CordMagic Folding 2000W hairdryer, because it’s got the rewinding power cord and folding handle functions!! Not many hairdryer in the market would have both functions! Normally people just wrap the lead around the hairdryer, coil the lead by the side of the dryer or just leave the dryer on the floor while it is still plugged on the wall socket. This is very inconvenience to store/place the dryer. But with this Revlon CordMagic Folding hairdryer you can store it away easily and very tidy!
~~~ Cost? ~~~
Boots - £25 (with 2 years guarantee, make sure you keep the receipt to prove your purchase) Argos - £19.99 (manufacture 2 years guarantee) John Lewis - £19.95 (manufacture 2 years guarantee)
I bought mine in Boots in a rush so I didn’t do any research at all before I purchase my hairdryer, because I didn’t think it would be that much different in price!! But silly me should have checked it out!! Could have saved £5!! Well never mind because there wasn’t Argos or John Lewis near me!
~~~ Features ~~~
- 2000W for fast drying - 2 heat / 2 speed settings plus cool shot - Full length power cord rewinds inside dryer for safe tidy storage at the touch of a button - Ionic conditioning for a frizz-free, high shine finish - Heat balancing ceramic technology - Handle folds for travel and storage - Dual volt switch - Removable rear filter for easy cleaning - Slim concentrator nozzle - 2 year guarantee
~~~ What is Ionic Technology?? ~~~
Let me tell you a little bit more about this!! In the modern living, include air conditioning, heating, contact with man-made fibres and air pollution; those will create static electricity in your hair. Even brushing and towel drying your hair can increase these levels causing the surface of the cuticle to become rough. So your hair will appear really dull! Also the high levels of static charge will make your hair ‘fly away’ and very difficult to style.
So the solution is to use this Ionic Technology! The ion generator produces a stream of negative ions which act to neutralise the static charge, leaving your hair shiny, smooth and manageable. So you can achieve your desired style more easily!
~~~ Instructions ~~~
General - First of all towel dry your hair (try not to rub it, rubbing will damage your hair) and detangle hair - Make sure the power cord is fully extended from the dryer before plugging and switching the dryer on!
Extending the Power Cord - To extend the power cord simply make sure the handle is in the upright position and start pulling the power cord slowly. But as soon as the red marker on the cord is visible stop pulling on the cord! Now its fully extended (it might damage the cord if you pull beyond this red marker) - Plug the dryer into the main power socket
Heat/Speed Settings - Select the required heat/speed settings There are 2 heat/speed settings plus a cool shot. I normally use the high heat/high speed setting to dry my hair. It takes about 4 minutes to dry my hair (16”), which is super fast! It usually takes me more than 10 minutes when I use my old hair dryer. You can use the low heat/low speed settings to style when your hair begins to dry
Cool Shot Button - You can use the cool shot button on warm hair to rapidly cool the hair and set the style in place for the long lasting effect
Rewinding the Power Cord Caution: When rewinding the cord, the plug will move very quickly upward so to avoid injury please follow the instructions carefully - You must ensure the handle is in the upright position and push the retract (red) button with one hand and hold the cord or plug with the other hand carefully control the cord when rewinding into the dryer
Folding handle - To fold the handle simply pushes the handle towards the barrel of the hair dryer to the closed position. To unfold simply pull the handle into the upright position
~~~ Care of your hairdryer ~~~
To keep your hairdryer in the best possible condition please follow the steps below: - Ensure the dryer is switched off and unplugged and cooled - Holding the dryer firmly and pull the rear filter down to remove - Use a soft brush to clean any hair from the filter - Replace the rear filter by pushing back into position - Use damp cloth to wipe the outside of the hairdryer, make sure no water enters the hairdryer and also make sure the hairdryer is completely dry before use - Do not wrap the lead around the hairdryer - Always unplug after use - Do not use the hairdryer at a stretch from the power point - Make sure the hairdryer is used on the correct voltage
~~~ Safety Cautions ~~~
- Do not use the hairdryer near water contained basins, bathtub or other vessels - Do not immerse the hairdryer into water or other liquids - Never look directly into the barrel of the hairdryer when it is blowing air - Do not use the hairdryer when the lead is damaged - Do not leave the hairdryer on unattended (Always switch it off) - Allow the hairdryer to cool before storing away

~~~ Verdict ~~~
I am very happy with this hairdryer! It gives me frizz-free, shiny and easy controlled hair! For your info: When you are using this Revlon CordMagic Folding hairdryer the barrel doesn’t get too hot unlike the other hairdryer (But didn’t tell you to touch it deliberately! Okay!), but it dries your hair really quickly! You can use it aboard as well just switch the voltage to the correct one (depends on which country you are in)!!
Advantages: neat to store, powerful, ionic technology Disadvantages: short power cable
...off. However, since having the Revlon CordMagic bought for me, i dont really use my straightners anymore becuase the ionic feature really does work and leaves my hair lookin fantastic. I love my hairdryer it drys my hair quicker than any other drier i have and takes up less storage room. The retractable power cable is pure genius as you can put your hair dryer away in second without putting stress on the cable by winding it round. Their is also a ... ...less room in a draw or an over night bag. The hair dryer has 2heat, 2speed and 1 cool shot settings. There is also a filter to get rid of unwanted particles. The typical price for this product is £20-30 i have seen several at £24.99 The only problem i have with my hair dryer is that i feel the power cable could be a bit longer. ...
