Revlon RV544 Tourmaline Ionic

I have paid out hundreds of dollars for hair dryers and I can honestly say that this beats all of them even the most expensive ones. It is lightweight, drys my thick hair faster than all the others, doesn't… overheat and shut down (like my last one kept doing that I paid almost a $100 for) and doesn't make my colored hair loose moisture. I do hope that they continue making this product but I am thinking about buying another one just in case.

i bought this hair dryer for the second bathroom, and it's now in our master bathroom. lightweight, quick hair dryer. clean, simple design. functions are pretty standard. i'm not sure if the tourmaline… ionic really does what it claims, but the price was about the same as other models without the feature, so i figured i might as well get it. my only (slight)complaint is that it has rocker switches instead of slider switches. sometimes when you're shaking the dryer around, you can inadvertantly shut the unit off. no big deal, but it is a drawback. otherwise, excellent product.

I was not happy with this dryer and am returning it. It is very loud, the diffuser attachment is very small and the hot setting was not hot enough for me. I have very thick, very curly hair (just below… shoulder length) and diffuse my hair every day. The diffuser that came as an attachment is much smaller and is flat and has the fingers sticking out, which ended up poking my head. The Helen of Troy diffuser I've used for years has a bigger circumference and is concave so the fingers don't touch your head. Also, most ionic dryers leave your hair shiny, but this dryer left my hair frizzy and dull. I also wish it had a longer cord. On the hottest heat setting, it just felt like the ends of my hair were getting dry, not my roots. For curly hair, if you don't get the roots dry, you end up with flat hair that is curly on the bottom a.k.a. "triangle head." On the up side, it is very light. Someone with thin or straight hair may really like it. But if you have thick, curly hair...this dryer is mostly just noise.
