Good Hairdryer!

[�mermaid�]

Mine is rapidly dying (smells like burning after a few minutes of use!) and I've had it for donkeys years so I think It's time to invest in a new one!

HAS to be...

- Powerful as I have quite thick, coarse hair.

- Long cable as it's quite a stretch from the nearest plug socket to a mirror in my room!

- Decent cool shot with a switch rather than button you have to keep pressed down- my current hairdryer kills my finger doing that!

- Good slim concentrator nozzle.

It would be a bonus if it had a variety of heat/speed settings, wasn't too heavy, some kind of ceramic/ionic features that supposedly leave your hair smooth and less frizzy and a diffuser.. but not essential.

Any help much appreciated, cheers!

I always seem to be pimping this on here but the Remington D3701 is excellent. It is very high powered so dries your hair rapidly and is ionic so it smooths it down and stops frizz or static. My hair is naturally curly and used to dry it and straighten it but this hairdryer straightens it itself! I hardly use my straightners now!

It also has a boost button for extra-extra powerful drying and a cool shot button as well, you just flick the switch, no need to hold it down, and it comes with a slim concentrator nozzle. Not sure about the length of the cord, but argos does them so it should give you the details on there!

I've had my Clairol Big Shot hairdryer for almost 20 years and don't know what I'll do when it dies. I have tried a couple of replacements a Wahl and Babyliss, but they just don't handle in the same way, the Babyliss is too heavy.

Must concur with chazza here, i bought it after she praised it and reasonably priced got mine from a amazon,doesnt have a diffuser though!!!!

I also might have a look at the Remington.

I'm going to have a look at the Remington too, my hairdryer is on it's last legs too.

[4getmenot]

sOd you all then!! lol

[Lakitu]

LMAO!

Awww, I'll be buying DS 2, does that make you feel a bit better? x

I have a Remington too. It has a very long cable and various speeds and heat settings. Best one that I have ever had.

No 4getmenot folds arms and turns away

[Lakitu]

Oh :(

What if I climb through the screen and cover you in slobbery kisses?

Chazza - can you post a link to the remington one please? There on the argos website and it doesn't seem to state the model..helpfully! Cheers =]

[�mermaid�]

* There's a few on the argos website..

is what I meant to say!

[terambulan]

Go for a pro Babylis - has all the features.

[sara3]

can you get to a hairdressers' wholesaler? I was bought a professional hairdryer and diffuser about 25 years ago, and I'm still using them.

[chazza]

This looks like it but it's cheaper than what I paid and doesn't state the model (as you say):

It's cat no 443/0119 in case that link doesn't work. Maybe it might be a good idea to email or ring argos to check the model number

Or I've just found it cheaper here:
