Product Rating: 5 great dryer
Reviewer: Kimberly from Middletown, DE  Tue Jul 11 2006

I absolutely love this dryer! So convenient. You do need to find room to store it, but this is great. Fast delivery. Would definitely order from this company again.

Product Rating: 5 Excellent!
Reviewer: Louanne from NJ  Thu Apr 27 2006

I have long curly/frizzy hair and I just love this dryer! I have always had to leave my hair wet and let it dry on it's own. If I tried to dry it in any way I would end up with a giant afro! I was always walking around with wet hair, it took all day to dry on it's own. Now I can sit under this dryer and dry my hair while putting on makeup and by the time I'm finished with my face, my hair is dry! What a time saver! AND NO FRIZZ! I love this dryer! It's fast! And I've gotten compliments on how lovely my curls are!

Product Rating: 2 Nice dryer but it didn't do the job
Reviewer: V. from Winipeg, MB  Wed Apr 19 2006

This dryer was easy to put together and use, howerver, I am African-Amrican and have very short hair. I expected that the Babyliss would reduce some of the drying time for my hair, but I was very dissapointed. It took nearly 50 minutes to dry my hair and the dryer never really got that hot. I wouldn't reccomend it to anyone with African-American hair types or thick hair for that matter.

Product Rating: 5 This was exactly what I was looking for.
Reviewer: Pat from Indiana  Thu Apr 13 2006

The quality of the dryer itself is excellent as was its performance, With the Ion setting my previously frizzy hair was quite smooth when dry. It was also dried my hair very quickly. All around this has exceeded my expectations!!!!!

Product Rating: 5 Superb Gift!
Reviewer: Varda from Queens, New York  Wed Apr 05 2006

I purchased the Babyliss Thermal Ionic Hard Hat Dryer for my cousin as a gift and she absolutely fell in love with it. She commented on the sleek design of the dryer and the thorough drying of her hair. She called it a "superb gift".

Product Rating: 4 Great product
Reviewer: M. from NY  Mon Apr 03 2006

This hair dryer works GREAT for my hair. I have dredlocks and needed a dryer that was powerful enough to dry all my hair. This dryer was affordable, easy to use and heats up really well.

Product Rating: 5 Best investment!!!
Reviewer: Susan from Mount Holly, NJ  Wed Mar 29 2006

Easy assembly. Dryer is extremely quiet. Easy to maneveur. Decreased drying time by 15 minutes. Long, thick hair. Dries fast on curlers.

Product Rating: 3 It's okay
Reviewer: Jane   Sat Mar 25 2006

I'm not sure it is worth it, but this is the first time I have used a hairdryer like this. The product came super quickly, was easy to assemble and doesn't seem to have any problems. It just seems a little awkward to sit under and because I have long hair (a little past the shoulders), it is obviously difficult to dry all my hair with it.

Reviewer: Debra from Far Hills, NJ  Fri Feb 24 2006

I love it! I sit in the comfort of my home and the dryer does the rest; dry my hair to perfection! Absolutely love it!

Product Rating: 5 Great product and great service!
Reviewer: anonymous from Maryland  Fri Feb 10 2006

This dryer is very quiet and is efficient at drying hair. My hair is very thick and it never takes more than an hour. The dryer leaves my hair super soft. It is easy to move around and works with most chairs. I love watching TV while my hair dries...and you can still hear the TV! I would highly recommend the dryer and folica.com!

Product Rating: 5 Excellent Dryer - More than I expected
Reviewer: Pleasant customer   Sat Feb 04 2006

I really love this hair Dryer. I have thick coarse hair and usually it would take more than an hour to dry my hair at a hair salon. But with BaByliss it took 45 minutes to dry my hair. I don’t have to waist 2 hours at the hair salon because of this dryer. Thank you.

Product Rating: 5 BaByliss Thermal Ionic Hard Hat Dryer is an excellent substitute for the Salon
Reviewer: Catherine   Sat Jan 28 2006

This product works very well. Without the rollers in my hair, it takes me just a few minutes to dry my hair. All it takes is half an hour with the rollers in my hair. This has cut down on the time it takes at the Salon.

Product Rating: 5 Great machine, very convenient
Reviewer: Alisa from Queens, NY  Thu Jan 26 2006

I bought the dryer so that it would stand where ever I needed it to, rather than me positioning myself near a table. It works very well. The is the on and off button, and the 3 heat positions - 1 for cool, 2 for warm 3 for very hot (I haven't tried the very hot to see how hot it gets). Postion #2 is perfect for me - I am Black and need enough heat to set my hair, but not so much that my hair would be too dry. I also am comfortable under the machine so I don't mind sitting under it for an hour or longer. The machine blows out a good amount of air as well, so my hair does dry within the hour. My hair is a little longer than shoulder length, and is thick. I have a relaxer, so it's straight. I highly recommend this machine if you have a place to store it. The legs at the bottom are pretty wide, so I suggest you have a good amount of corner space, or a walk-in closet to leave it.

Product Rating: 4 Just not a good fit for me..
Reviewer: Chatham from Houston  Wed Jan 25 2006

I recently purchased the BaByliss Thermal Ionic Hard Hat Dryer with the hopes of shortening the amount I time I needed to dry my hair. I am African American and my hair is below my shoulders and is thick so to really dry my hair I have to sit under the dryer for hours. While I was in New York I went to a salon that used a similar dryer so I went conducted an internet search to find a similar product. I found the dryer on Folica at a very good price and had previously had a very good experience with the company.

The dryer is extremely easy to put together, it took mere minutes. It also gets very hot, which it a good thing as well. And the only reason I returned the dryer is because it didn’t meet my extremely high expectations. I expected to have to sit under the dryer for an hour to an hour and a half, but I sat under the dryer for about two hours and I still wasn’t completely dry. This could be because my hair it thick, the way I rolled my hair, or the type of rollers I used. Either way, I decided to return the dryer because if I am going to have to devote two to two and a half hours to drying my hair, I might as well get a soft cap dryer (which only costs like $45) so that I can lie down and take a nap while I wait.

If your hair is not too thick or you are more patient than I am, I definitely recommend the BaByliss Thermal Ionic Hard Hat Dryer

Product Rating: 3 Not As Great As I Hoped
Reviewer: Bianca   Tue Jan 24 2006

Overall I would give the dryer 3 stars. I only used it one time and it was easy to put together and it arrived quickly. My only issue is I expeced dryint time to be cut down and it wasn't I was actually under this dryer then dryer cuts down on drying. I was wrong.

Product Rating: 5 Works for Me!
Reviewer: Terri from Greenville, SC  Thu Dec 22 2005

Arrived quickly; packed with care. Easy to assemble and the no-nonsense, sleek design makes it convenient for use and storage. I like how evenly it dries my hair. It left it feeling soft and silky as opposed to dry and brittle as with other hard hat dryers. Thought it might be hard to part with my 35 year old Time Machine by Lady Schick -- but after one use of the Babyliss Thermal Hard Hat dryer --I am sold!

Product Rating: 5 Great For Curly Hair
Reviewer: Arlene from Philadelphia  Tue Nov 22 2005

I received this dryer in 2 days and tried it out immediately. I highly recommend it for curly hair. It dries so much quicker and more even than any hand blower I have used and leaves the curls in place. It was easy to assemble and I was able to watch TV while under it. Many thanks to the other reviewers and to Folica.

Product Rating: 4 Great hairdryer!
Reviewer: Sherry from Fl  Wed Nov 09 2005

Item was shipped with care. The dryer was exaclty as described. It was shipped in just a few short days. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.I looked at several before buying, and this one had the best qualities.

Product Rating: 5 I love my BaByliss
Reviewer: Tracey Jones from Fishers, Indiana  Tue Sep 06 2005

I love my BaByliss Thermal Ionic Hard Hat Dryer. My best friend loves it as well, she wants to come over more often to dry her hair. I can sit at my desk and read, pay bills, or surf the net while I am drying my hair. It also drys fast. It is very efficiant. I love it.
