Product Rating: 4 Great Hair Dryer
Reviewer: Sandy from Canada  Mon Feb 07 2005

This hair dryer is amazing! It is a heavy duty hair dryer, and works great, doesn't create frizzy hair, and is surprisingly quiet. I recommend this one for sure!

Product Rating: 5 Fantastic!!
Reviewer: Lisa   Mon Feb 07 2005

I have extremely thick curly hair that takes forever to dry and style. I purchased this hairdryer based on all the postive reviews--and they are correct-the dryer is heavy--but you get used to it fast-I did not find the heavy duty cord to be a problem whatsoever. My hair drys super fast and looks like it does when I leave the salon!! I LOVE IT!!!

Product Rating: 3 Not Good for Curly Hair
Reviewer: Alison G   Mon Feb 07 2005

This hairdryer is very powerful and after drying does make your hair feel soft. However, if you have curly hair I beleive that you will find as I did that this hairdryer even on low is to powerful. In fact, it made my hair very frizzy.

Product Rating: 5 Great Hair Dryer!
Reviewer: JK from New York  Sun Feb 06 2005

I'm a first timer on Folica.com and was very pleased with the service. I was informed that this thermal ionic dryer was back ordered; however, within 2 weeks, I received it. I previously owned a Solano Scricco Plus dryer, which had a lot of power & I loved it, but it was continually plagued with problems...I love this new thermal ionic BaByliss; it's very lightweight, quick to dry my long hair and I've noticed it leaves my hair more shiny (less dry). It's also pretty quiet.

Reviewer: Jewel   Sun Feb 06 2005

After searching for ways to improve my curl and volume at home, I purchased this dryer and the matching diffuser.

My limp, dry, hair is now curly and shiny. Although I had been using all the right products, I was not achieving the results that this amazing combination has provided.

My strongest critics have noticed the difference.

Product Rating: 5 Absolutely Wonderful!
Reviewer: Elisa from New York, NY  Fri Feb 04 2005

I bought this hair dryer with the Sedu Flat Iron and my hair has never looked better! What normally took me 15 minutes to dry my thick, coarse, wavy hair, now takes me about 8. This dryer is a little top-heavy but since it takes half the time it becomes relative. This also kept my hair soft and bouncy. The 2000 watts is great, too. My last dryer was 1875 but really slow and just dribbled out the hot air. This one blasts hot air and dries so much more quickly! It has a nice look and gets the job done. The price is okay for what you get. You won't be disappointed. My hair styling regimen, minus shower time, is now 20 minutes as opposed to my previous 45 minutes with the old equipment. I am always in a rush in the morning and used to get discouraged from styling my hair because it took so long! Now I do it every other day and I feel better about myself. You must get one if time is valuable in your morning routine!

Product Rating: 5 Dries Hair Super Fast
Reviewer: Jen from Chicago  Wed Feb 02 2005

I purchased this product and the Sedu and was a little nervous about using this because I was dissapointed in the Sedu despite all the great reviews. The dryer a bit heavy for a hair dryer, but that's my only complaint. I love this and would recommend it to anyone. It completely dried my long hair in five minutes. It works so fast and it's a lot quieter than any other hair dryer I've had. It even made my hair shinier and feel softer than my old dryer. It also comes with a free diffuser. So worth the price. Don't buy anything more expensive than this, this is really all you need.

Product Rating: 4 Good dryer
Reviewer: Kallie   Sat Jan 29 2005

I got this dryer after reading reviews about how good it was, and I have not been disappointed. It leaves my hair sleeker and less frizzy than my regular hair dryer. However, there are a few things you should know. It's very heavy, first of all, and kind of cumbersome to work with. Also, the air comes out so strong that it makes your hair kind of tangly while you dry it and requires more brushing. Despite that, though, I still feel like it is worth the money because of the way it makes my hair look.

Product Rating: 5 all it says
Reviewer: colleen rothhaar from pa  Sun Jan 23 2005

I researched for an ionic dryer and purchased the babyliss. Not only does it take half the time or less, but my hair has body and moves as if a professional has done it every day!

Product Rating: 5 NO FRIZZ
Reviewer: JENNIFER MEISSNER from BARTONSVILLE, PA.  Fri Jan 21 2005

EXCELLENT HAIRDRYER FOR THE CURLY HAIRED CREW WHO IS LOOKING TO STRAIGHTEN. MY HAIR IS PIN STRAIGHT AND NO FRIZZ; ONLY PROBLEM IS MY HAIR HAS A LOT OF STATIC ELECTRICITY NOW, AND THE DRYER IS A LITTLE HEAVY. DEFINATELY WORTH THE MONEY!!!

Product Rating: 5 Better than expected!
Reviewer: Christine Lee from Southern California  Wed Jan 19 2005

I didn't think there would be much of a difference between this and my old Conair dryer, but boy was I wrong!

I have long, fine, straight, color treated hair. My hair dries much faster with the BaByliss Thermal Ionic Hair Dryer than with my old dryer. It also is shinier and softer with much more body. It feels like I've been to the salon!

Another nice benefit- my hair used to tangle at the ends after a few hours of initially styling it. Now my hair remains tangle free, even after a windy day outside.

Although others may not like the weight of this dryer, I found it nice and balanced in my hand. Since I don't have to dry my hair for very long, the weight isn't a problem for me.

I completely recommend this dryer!

Product Rating: 4 Great Dryer
Reviewer: Sonia Dallmann from California  Tue Jan 18 2005

This blow dryer eleminates the frizz while drying. For years I would blow dry my hair to turn out super puffy and frizzy when I was done leaving a huge challenge to straighten it, it would take hours. Now with this dryer the drying time is cut in half and my hair is not frizzy leaving the job of styling a breeze.

Product Rating: 3 Do more research before you buy
Reviewer: Julie from Boston, MA  Thu Jan 13 2005

It's slightly heavier than I'd like, and the buttons get in the way a bit. It does a nice job. It does leave my hair smooth and silky. It dries my hair in about half the time. All in all it does exactly what it claims, I guess I was expecting miracles for that price though.

Product Rating: 4 BaByliss Thermal Ionic Blowdryer
Reviewer: Sandi Williams from Honolulu, Hawaii  Thu Jan 13 2005

I haven't found an ionic blowdryer (that doesn't cost an arm and a leg)that I liked until now. I have frizzy, curly hair and constant blowdrying is damaging, but I've found that this product doesn't make my hair look dry. My blowdry time is approximately 20 - 25 minutes, which is really good considering on how some blowdryers took me anywhere from 45 - 60 minutes. This was definitely worth the money!

Product Rating: 5 LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!
Reviewer: Karin Byars from McLean, Virginia  Thu Jan 13 2005

People have been commenting on my 'Oprah Hair' since I started using it. Once I got used to the weight and the controls it has transformed my unruly hair into professional looking does that last.

If I could make an improvement it would be the cord, it is too stiff and heavy.

Product Rating: 4 Great for drying
Reviewer: Lynn from Columbus, OH  Thu Jan 13 2005

This is my first ionic hair dryer and it does dry my hair faster. I'm happy with this dryer. There are a couple of things to know though. It blows very strong air even on the low setting, which makes it hard to style because my hair fly everywhere. Also, it's pretty heavy and have heavy duty cord. Since I use this mostly to dry my hair and use straightening iron to style, it is fine for me.

Product Rating: 5 Amazing- dries fast
Reviewer: Chris from LA  Wed Jan 12 2005

This is the only ionic dryer I've used, and I purchased it based on the reviews here. Well, it is amazing. It didn't seem that much heavier than the other dryer I use. And with my hair drying so much faster, I didn't have to hold it forever. My hair dried in 6 minutes and I have all one length fine, thick hair to the middle of my back. It usually takes 12-15 minutes to dry it. I already recommeded this dryer to my sisters.

Product Rating: 2 not good enough for a pro
Reviewer: dcprostylist   Mon Jan 10 2005

the dryer is too heavy, does not get hot enough to do blow dry curly hair straight, and the handle is not agled enough to get a comfortable grip for the wrist while drying

Product Rating: 5 Leaves hair silky
Reviewer: J. Epps from San Francisco  Thu Jan 06 2005

I can't believe what a difference this hair dryer made on my wife's hair. It leaves her hair looking soft and luxurious. Wow!

Product Rating: 5 Fast and Quiet
Reviewer: JPSmith from Michigan  Mon Jan 03 2005

This dryer is quiet and dries even the thickest hair quickly. We love it.
