This hairdryer looks so good (even better than the 1950s raygun one - still in working order - that I inherited from my grandma) that you almost wouldn't care if it did a rubbish job.
Just look how pretty it is  : http://www.babyliss.co.uk/jkcm/default.aspx?pg=2369
But, happily, its beauty isn't only skindeep. This gorgeous beastie is the answer to my curlyheaded prayers.
My hair is dry, flyaway, frizzy and kind of curly/wavy/kinky/straight all at once. Yes, my hair is the stuff of nightmares.
In an effort to cut down on frizz, I try and let it dry naturally whenever possible. Trouble is, this can take over 5 hours. Which is not too annoying if I'll be at home all day, but when going out of the house in the morning, I've previously had to get up at a ridiculously stupid hour to wash my hair.
The hairdryer has a radiant heat element and 2 speed settings. You can use it with or without the radiant heat. First setting is very gentle and the second much more blowy.
As the usual hairdryer blowing power makes my hair go crazy-afro-through-a-hedge-backwards-then-wet-fingers-stuck-in-an-electrical-socket, I try to avoid it like the plague. So, naturally, I shall only ever be using the lower setting, which gives a tiny, tiny little blow that doesn't really move your hair.
This morning, instead of the usual 5 hours, I was able to dry my hair almost completely in about 15 minutes. No frizz at all. For me, this is like some kind of miracle.
Now, because my hair condition is dry, I won't be using this hairdryer every time, but it really is fantastic for when I need to leave the house in a hurry. Probably best to make sure you use a good conditioning treatment to compensate for the heat dryer, especially if you wanted to use it more regularly than me.
I hope this info might help any fellow unruly, frizzy hair sufferers who, like me, were at their wit's end with waiting. |

Blimey, if you have hair like me, then you have my sympathy!  
These hairdryers cost around £35-£40 normally (approx $64-$73), but I bought mine from eBay for £11 (approx $20). The description said that the box was slightly damaged, but that everything was in perfect condition and working order inside - which it was.
I'm not sure where you live, but if you're in the UK and want to know the name of the seller, please PM me and let me know. If you're not in the UK, then the voltage would be wrong for you and it'd be best to buy one in your own country.
As for HG hair products. I (mostly) get pretty nice results from using Aveda Sap Moss Shampoo, followed by Redken Soft Conditioner. Then I use a microfibre towel to squeeze any excess water out after washing my hair, then apply John Frieda Frizz Ease Emergency Treatment Leave-In Spray. Finally, I distribute some Bumble & Bumble Curl Creme (absolutely love this stuff!) into my hair and wind it around in sections, leaving it to mostly dry. When it is mostly dry, I gently let my hair down and leave it to dry the rest of the way.
This routine doesn't produce perfect results every time, but if you have hair like me, then you'll know what it's like trying to tame it!
My hair just does its own thing, really, and I wake up every morning looking different. Oh, how I wish it would behave!  
happyhippie's got me really wondering about the Morrocan Method at the moment, and I'm also interested in maybe trying the Jessicurl products.
So what do you use in the neverending struggle against unruly hair? |
