Product Rating: 4 Babybliss hard hat drier
Reviewer: Danielle Keiler from Kadena AB, Japan  Thu Mar 06 2008

I purchased this product and recieved it fast and it works great. Love it!!! Danielle K.

Product Rating: 5 Love it!!
Reviewer: Tina Stessl from Hammond, IN  Tue Feb 12 2008

As if the fast shipping wasn't a bonus enough -- the results are fabulous! I have thin, fine hair and what this dryer does to my roller-set 'do is incredible. I have beautiful body and curls the first day, then I can sleep on it and still have tons of body and waves on day 2. The body is still there on day 3! My hair ordinarily would fall flat in a couple of hours with a blow dryer and hot rollers. I always start out reading, and then zone out and enjoy the quiet time.

Reviewer: Nikki Voss from Powder Springs, Georgia  Tue Feb 12 2008

I absolutely LOVE my new BaByliss Ionic Hard Hat Hair Dryer. It dries my hair fast, and leaves it very shiny and healthy looking. It is easy to move from room to room, so I can even use it while I am on my computer. I would recommend this product!

Product Rating: 5 TRUE STORY
Reviewer: Customer   Wed Feb 06 2008

I PURCHASED THIS PRODUCT FOR MY WIFE. A HARD HAT HAIR DRYER. PRIOR TO THIS ONLINE PURCHASE. SHE DRAGGED ME EVERYWHERE, AND I MEAN EVERYWHERE. TARGET, WALMART, SALLYS BEAUTY SUPPLY, JCPENNY, SEARS AND SEVERAL MORE I CAN'T REMEMBER. THE ONE SHE WANTED NEEDED TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE TEMP SETTING. NO ONE HAD IT. MY WIFE IS A LITTLE LEARY ABOUT SHOPPING ONLINE. I TOLD HER I WOULD HANDLE IT FOR HER. I FOUND YOU GUYS AFTER GOOGLING AND IT JUST ALL WORKED OUT. MUCH BETTER PRICE THAN THE ONE TEMP SETTING WE SAW, BETTER QUAILTY AND GREAT SERVICE. MY WIFE IS EXTREMLY HAPPY WITH IT, AND I GOT TO WATCH THE SUPER BOWL IN PEACE, WHILE SHE DONE HER HAIR. TRUE STORY!

Product Rating: 3 Over Dry Hair
Reviewer: Tiffany   Sat Feb 02 2008

I like the BaByliss hairdryer but recommend using a deep conditioner before setting hair for drying as it is easy to over-dry hair.

Product Rating: 5 Babyliss Thermal Ionic Hard Hat Dryer
Reviewer: Christine   Wed Jan 16 2008

The Babyliss Hard Hat dryer is awesome! It's the type of at-home dryer I have been looking for, for years. Now I can receive close to the type of results I receive at a salon.

Product Rating: 3 The NOISE!
Reviewer: Mag from Ohio  Thu Jan 10 2008

First, it looks good - no problem here. I ordered the gray and black one. I have very thick hair but it dried my roller set hair in 30 min - evenly. I don't have any problems with the height, nor the size. What I did and do have problems with is the NOISE. How incredibly loud it is. It sounds like being in an airplane all the time but just much louder. Seriously, I would have liked to send this back just because of the noise -- however, I am not going to send it back because of the hassle with packing, the huge box etc. Other than the noise though, it dried my hair evenly -- I just hope my kids don't scream for help when I am under this hairdryer. I just won't be able to hear them. Although this hairdryer is a bit pricey, I would glad have paid more for one with less noise.

Product Rating: 5 Great product-worth every cent!
Reviewer: MM from Pennsylvania  Sat Nov 03 2007

I have really thick curly hair that takes hours to air dry. With this dryer I'm able to wash my hair in the morning (rather than at night) and dry most of it in about 15 minutes without frizzing it out! I sit under the dryer and and do my makeup (really efficient). I can now leave my house on a cold morning with my hair 70% dry. It's really unbelievable!

Product Rating: 5 FABULOUS
Reviewer: Silk Lawley from Falcon Cove  Wed Sep 12 2007

This is the best blow drier out there. Why? Let me explain...

Well, I have such frizzy curly long thick hair which takes forever to blow dry. It has always been such a pain to blow dry my hair all the time because it took me forever, AND my arm would be aching regardless of the blow dryer I used.

So I bought this babyliss hard hat dryer and crossed my fingers. Now, all I had to do to blow dry my hair was sit back, grab a magazine, and relax! Now, if only I could find a machine that would flat iron my hair...

Product Rating: 5 very convient
Reviewer: Dana Godsey from San Diego  Fri Sep 07 2007

i take it out and set it up, turn it on and do what i need to do with it, clean it up and then put it back it my closet when i am done. I am a self proclaimed platinum blonde and i like that this dryer gives me the freedom to do my own hair at my own house and don't have to pay hair dressers who screw up my hair. Also it is very good for deep conditioning treatments and for setting rollers hair dues for those crazy nights :P

Product Rating: 4 Excellent for thick, naturally curly/fuzzy/wavy hair
Reviewer: SBS from Austin, TX  Sat Sep 01 2007

My hair is very thick and takes all day to dry naturally, even though my hair is shorter than chin-length. Some parts of my hair are curlier than others, and I want to "play up" the curly look. Using a diffuser often straightened out and/or frizzed the less curly parts of my hair. The Babyliss, however, lets me encourage curls where needed. I wash my hair, apply product, scrunch a little, finger-arrange some areas the way I want them, and my hair dries just the way I want it to. For part of my drying time I "sit backwards" under the dryer so that the front part of my hair gets lots of heat. CAUTION: The plastic bonnet is fragile and I cracked the movable hood without realizing it. I was so enamored with the performance of the dryer that I assumed the housing was also of superior quality. Just take care when you roll it around and when you try to stuff it into a corner or closet.

Product Rating: 2 Very Disappointed
Reviewer: Abby Wyeth from Louisiana  Mon Aug 27 2007

Dryer looks nice but takes a long time to heat up; after 45 minutes still not very hot and hair not very dry. Base is stable but too large to fit closely under most chairs (have to lean up against pole to get head under hood, which is awkward and uncomfortable).

Was out of stock when I ordered so took a while to get. Too bad they got more in. Wish I had returned package.

Product Rating: 5 The answer to my prayers
Reviewer: Gail from Newtown,CT  Thu Aug 23 2007

I have curly, curly hair and use special products that allow me to wear my hair 'naturally'. It requires me to dry my hair with a hand held diffuser (which, by the way, takes forever). I have been looking for some time for a hood salon style dryer- affordable and the right size for home use. The BabyBliss is the answer to my prayers.How did I live without it!! I now sit in the morning sipping my coffee and watching the Today Show while my hair dries (much quicker,too) effortlessly. It also does a phenomenal job of keeping my curls in place during the drying process and the result looks like I just walked out of a salon.

Product Rating: 4 Heat helps color penetrate resistant gray hair
Reviewer: Dana from Miami FL  Thu Aug 16 2007

I bought this to use for root touch-ups for my resistant gray hair, as this is how my stylist gets the color to penetrate my grays - apply the color and sit under the dryer for 5-10 minutes or until scalp just gets hot, then leave the color on for another 20-35 minutes, depending on the color brand/type.

Although the heat and fan speed are not nearly as strong as salon dryers, this still does the job. It's also good for using with rollers, as my hair dries really quick!

The cons: It can be difficult to adjust the height due to arthritis & fibromyalgia in my hands, and if you use big rollers, your head won't fit all the way under the bonnet, especially in the back part.

Product Rating: 5 worth the $$$ you'll spend
Reviewer: Karen from Los Angeles  Fri Jul 27 2007

I dithered about buying this because of the price, but took my Christmas $$$ and did. DEFINITELY worth the investment. My hair is shinier, healthier and holds a set longer--if you roller-set, you get salon-quality hair without the salon visit. Don't know what your salon charges, but here in LA, a roller set averages $50. I've already recouped the money I would otherwise have spent.

Only negative: this thing is big, and it does need its own dedicated space. Most of us put it in a closet and roll it out when needed. One cautionary note: all the mechanics are in the head, which is removable, so either carry it separately and roll the base, or be careful as you roll.

Folica shipped securely and quickly. For free.

Product Rating: 4 Excellent Product
Reviewer: Pam Legall from Syracuse, NY  Tue May 08 2007

I love this hair dryer. It dries my hair faster than my previous unit. The only negative is the size. I store it in my coat closet and roll it out when needed.

Product Rating: 4 Pretty good dryer!
Reviewer: sonja from chicagi,il  Sat Apr 21 2007

I really like being able to dry my hair in different areas of the house. The only thing I would change if I could would be to extend the height a bit higher. I have higher chairs and it barely reaches over the top. Drying time is excellent and I am still glad I went on and invested in this product so far. Much better than the table top dryers.

Product Rating: 5 I can't believe I waited so long to buy this!
Reviewer: Tiffany R.   Wed Mar 28 2007

I put off buying this for a while due to the price (compared to regular hardtop dryers), but I'm glad I finally did. I love the freedom I have when I use it. I can sit in practically any chair/sofa in my home (I often dry my hair while paying bills or shopping online or to visit new sites I never have enough time to really explore).
My drying routine is about once a week and it's dramatically reduced the time I normally had to set aside to do my hair--whether drying after wet-setting, or deep conditioning.
It was easy to assemble, and while sturdy, it's not bulky.
I recommend this to all of my friends. It's turned what used to be a chore and all-around PITA (finding a table the right height, toppling phone books, a weak motor), to something effortless.
Completely and totally worth the money.

Reviewer: Marilyn Pizzini   Wed Mar 21 2007

Really easy to assemble. Works perfectly. No complaints at all (except that my cat is trying to kill the hood-with no success!)
