Product Rating: 4 Excellent product for curly hair
Reviewer: Yvonne from North Carolina  Sat Mar 08 2008

Excellent for keeping the natural curl in my hair. Works much better than those diffusers on regular hairdryers.

Product Rating: 1 Not for thin hair
Reviewer: anonymous   Fri Mar 07 2008

I did not care for this product. I have thin, fine hair and the air flow was too strong. My regular hair dryer on low works much better. The air flow was too much and did not help to keep my curls in place, it did the exact opposite.

Product Rating: 2 Disappointed
Reviewer: Morgaine Dease from Colorado Springs, CO 

I would love to say that I love this diffuser, but I can't. On high it blows my curls out just like a regular dryer would and on low it takes forever and a day to dry my hair. Plus my hair has gotten caught in the fan blade a few times. Now I'm stuck with a dryer that I can't use and paid over $40.00 for! I think I'll just stick to a diffuser that I can attach to my regular dryer and give this one to Goodwill.

Product Rating: 5 Excellent product & Customer Service
Reviewer: Cynthia Thibault from Adamstown, Maryland  Sun Feb 17 2008

The Curly Top Diffuser Hair Dryer is the best dryer for me. I waw very impressed with your wonderful service and quick delivery. Thank you so much. I know that I will order from you again in the future!!

Product Rating: 5 Best Ever Hair Dryer Diffuser
Reviewer: C E C from Montrose, PA  Thu Feb 14 2008

If you have natural curly hair then do NOT buy any other product to dry your hair!! This product is the best hair dryer diffuser ever made!!! It dries without distorting the curl and does not make your frizz.

Product Rating: 2 Didn't work for me.
Reviewer: Karen Montgomery from Birmingham, Alabama  Thu Feb 14 2008

I have very curly coarse hair that frizzes very easily. I also live in Alabama where it gets very humid. I was hoping this dryer would dry my hair faster and leave it frizz-free but unfortunately it didn't. Maybe it is just my hair type that it didn't work well with. I returned the dryer to look for something better.

Product Rating: 4 Hard to find
Reviewer: klussier from massachusetts  Thu Jan 31 2008

Although I think this item replaced the old Windmere Curly Top dryer, it is not quite as effective a dryer as the old one was. When used on low there is just barely any drying action going on. However, using this type of dryer constantly on high will wear it out quickly. That aside, it is the only dryer of it's type that I have been able to find so that makes it a worthwhile purchase for someone with not-too-thick curly hair that loses its curl with conventional blow-dryers. It is lightweight so you can use it while you have your coffee in the morning. The service was very good- it arrived in only 3-4 days.

Product Rating: 5 20 years and still going!
Reviewer: Jen   Sat Nov 24 2007

My mom got me my Curly Top dryer in 1987! Mine is even older looking than the picture! My Curly Top and I are still going strong! It's the only thing that dries my curls and doesn't frizz them! People always ask me what my secret is to my perfect curls! I'd be lost without this dryer! ;)

Product Rating: 5 Curly Top Diffuser Hair Dryer
Reviewer: Dorothy Sinkler from New Jersey  Tue Sep 25 2007

This is a wonderful hair dryer. I had one for several years and it just wore out. I looked and looked in local stores and could not find a replacement. I went to Google, typed in "Curly hair dryer" and there it was. I am more than happy with this hair dryer. What I like about it the most is that when I shampoo my hair I just get out my Curly Top Diffuser and my hair just falls into place. I will definitely shop at this vendor again.

Product Rating: 4 Finally
Reviewer: Davis from Texas  Wed Sep 19 2007

I had one of these hair dryers for years - until it burned up. I've always wanted another one, but never came across one in any store. I finally had the bright idea to search online and found this one. Aside from the fact that it's a great hair dryer for curly hair, it's so much easier to pack that a bulky standard hair dryer and diffuser.

Product Rating: 5 Searched High and Low for the Curly Top
Reviewer: Beverly   Tue Sep 04 2007

I was so sad when my Curly Top stoppped working after 15 years (it's true - I bought it in California. Moved to NYC with it. It then moved to DE with me where it sadly died.) I searched online for it, but could not find it until now. Thanks Folica.com!

Product Rating: 5 Curly Top
Reviewer: Fay Cimbalo from Destin, Fl.  Thu Aug 23 2007

I have used a Curly Top for years, but dropped it several times and it didn't work so good anymore. I tried and tried to find a new one, and thank goodness I did. It came today and I showered and shampooed my hair and used it. It'a very little bit different from my old one, but works the same, I have short permed curly hair and so the Curly Top is perfect

Product Rating: 3 Too slow
Reviewer: eve   Thu Jun 14 2007

I'm just not using this dryer. It only dries on cool, which takes too long and didn't seem to curl my hair more - just made it softer. So I got the idea to first dry my hair a bit with my regular dryer on hot, do other things and finish up a little later with my regular dryer on cool. Works just like spending a lot of time with the curly top.

Product Rating: 1 Hopeful but disappointed
Reviewer: Anonymous   Fri Apr 20 2007

I owned the original Curly Top by Windmere as well as the very good Hot Tools Ionic Diffuser. Both appear to be discontinued at this time.

So I was hopeful when I purchased this generic brand diffuser, but was disappointed in its performance. The airflow was weak and was strangely vented so I couldn't target the heat. Plus it was too hot for my curly hair. I'm sorry to say I returned it and hope that Hot Tools will reintroduce their old model.

Product Rating: 3 Curly Top not for flippers/scrunchers
Reviewer: Red Pepper Barbie from Dublin, OH  Thu Apr 19 2007

This may be an excellent dryer, however if you are like me and flip your head upside down to scrunch your curly hair dry and are used to laying your hair on the diffuser, you will not be able to do that with this. The opening over the fan blades is wide and the fan blades will basically chop your hair or twist your hair in the blades. I'm donating mine and want to prevent someone who processes her hair similarly from making the same mistake I did.

Product Rating: 5 The BEST Hair Dryer I have ever own
Reviewer: Babe in ND from North Dakota  Thu Apr 19 2007

My new Curly Top Diffuser Hair Dryer is great. The style is just perfect for comfort for holding while drying my long hair. With other hair dryers my hair would be flying all over and causing alot of tangleing of my long hair.
I'm truly surprized they do not use this product in Hair
Salon's. The Curly Top is the best hair dryer I have ever used in the past 40 years!! Thanks for making such a great
product!!!!!!

Product Rating: 1 Curly Top BLEW up
Reviewer: PF from OKC  Thu Apr 12 2007

After having it for 2 weeks and using it yesterday for about the 10th time, it BLEW UP in my hand. I turned it on and BAM, sparks/small flame, etc. I was enjoying it as I have medium length wavy hair and it did a nice job but I'll not buy another.

Product Rating: 2 I loved it until it died after 4 uses..
Reviewer: anonymous from Wisconsin  Fri Apr 06 2007

I love the idea of this drier. On first use I was thrilled with no-frizz, quickly-dried hair. It was a little loud, but I can live with that. After 2 uses, the noise it started making would be best described as "penny in garbage disposer". After 4 uses it began to spark and I am now returning it. I guess it's back to the traditional diffuser for me...

Product Rating: 2 Try not so curly!
Reviewer: Denise from Dayton, Ohio  Fri Mar 23 2007

Felt this dryer didn't match it's name! I returned and spent the extra money to have the Sedu Ultrapower Hair Dryer and w/ diffuser. Worth the extra $100s. My natural curly hair is style curly, less frizz and dried in 1/2 the time. If you are intersted and can afford, spend the extra money it's worth it!

Product Rating: 5 IT'S BACK!!!!
Reviewer: Cathy H from Yorktown Heights, NY  Thu Mar 22 2007

This product is the only one to use if you have curly hair that you want to keep curly. Thank goodness it's available [again]! It must NOT be discontinued ever!
