Good Dryer For African American HairMy Hair is pretty thick I have a mix of my mothers silky hair and my fathers super nappy hair. Overall my hair is thick and wavy versus nappy. This dryer works really well to keep my hair from frizzing up and it's great when it's coupled with a good setting lotion. I can wrap my hair and sit in front of the TV with no problem and it will dry in about 40-50 minutes on high when I wrap it. It's not overly noisy but its not quiet either. Overall I am very happy with this purchase and I would recommend it to others.posted Feb 8, 2010Link to this post -

Worth It's PriceI was happy with this purchase. Having this dryer has made it much more convenient to sit under the dryer (I previously used a table top dryer.) I was doing too much blow drying to my hair. I think that the quality is good for the price. My order arrived in a timely fashion and as always Folica.com has excellent, excellent customer service.posted Jan 31, 2010Link to this post

I purchased this hair dryer over 3 months ago. I love it! It heats quickly and dries evenly. I am african american with tight curly hair (4a/b). My hair is also very thick and about shoulder length when twisted. My previous hooded dryer took forever to dry my hair. I wanted to set my hair with twist, braids, or on rollers. However, just drying took 3 hours and I would still have damp patches. The BaByliss takes a little under an hour. I have two concerns to point out. (1) It is big. Therefore, you need space to store it. Mine sits in a corner, but it does not bother me. (2) The hood is short/shallow. If you are looking for a dryer to dry hair past your shoulders, I suggest a blow dryer. The hood is simply not deep enough to dry hair past the top of the shoulders. I have not done a roller set so I am not sure how well it accommodates rollers. I do a twist of twists sets. Overall, I love this drier.posted Jan 23, 2010Link to this post -

This Thing Is Awesome!I absolutely love this dryer! I have used a table top hair dryer before and I could never get it adjusted to dry my 10-year old daughter's hair. But, this BabyBliss Dryer is AWESOME!!!! Not only is it easy to adjust, it dries so fast. My daugther has extremly thick, curly, ethnic/mixed hair. This dryer dried her hair completely in 30 minutes. And, the features are great. The temperature & on/off dial is on both sides and was easy for my daughter to reach. Also, it has a plastic shield that keeps the air in so it can dry the hair. When you lift up the shield while drying, the unit turns off! It's great! I love,love, love this product. My daughter loves it too and now it will be easier to get her hair done!posted Jan 12, 2010Link to this post

I Love My Babyliss Hard Hat Dryer!It is a well made appliance and easy to set up, easy to use. I have very fine, rather flimsy hair - pretty but flat and easily damaged. So I wanted to stop blow drying it cuz it gets so dried out. With this dryer I can GENTLY dry my hair... and girls with my kind of hair: I highly recommend the Bamboo self grip rollers too... I can do it myself and the hair stays on the roller! wooohoooo! This dryer deserves all the praise. I am very happy with my purchase, and the price at Folica is great too!

I'm A Little DisapointedBest thing about the dryer is that it seems to have a heavy duty motor. On the high setting it can put out some air that will dry your hair rather quickly. I wouldn't say it is overly loud nor overly quiet. About what I expected for the noise level. And the sound the dryer makes is not a high pitched annoying one or anything like that. Although the motor seems solid, everything else is cheap plastic. The base seems sturdy enough but doesn't go high enough to suit my needs so I can't use it with a chair, I have to lay down on the bed and tilt my head up into it. I'm tall though, so it would probably accomodate a short or medium person in a chair ok. I like how when you lift the visor it cuts it off...that's a nice touch. Filter is easy to get at to clean. It has 3 settings. Cool air, warm air at low volume and hot air at high volume. There really needs to be an extra setting in between the the low warm air and the high hot air....something like a MEDIUM setting would have been nice. Some other things I don't like is that the top where your head goes is more flatter than most hard hat dryers...I prefer them more round, but that's a minor gripe. Also, there are no air holes in the front part of the dryer which I found odd, but with the thing on the high setting, and the whirlwind effect the dryer has, there doesn't really need to be any. Also the dryer doesn't TILT back. It's stationary. Also the attachment to the base is not the most durable connection. I hope that doesn't eventually break in a years time. There's a little lever on the inside of the bonnet that's spose to diffuse the air flow a little bit but that's virtually useless and a gimmick. I'd say this dryer is worth about $80 tops! Much better than the $25 dollar models at Wal-mart but this dryer is not what I'd call 'professional.'posted Jan 1, 2010Link to this post -

Not Enough PowerI am african american and hispanic, my hair is thick and curly. Yes I managed to put it together just fine my main issues were these: My whole roller set head did not fit in, you have to use small rollers The heat quality is not as hot as I would like my regular hand held is 1875wattsposted Nov 18, 2009Link to this post -

First Time CustomerThis dryer was super simple to assemble, it's easily portable, quiet and fast. I have relaxed hair, that is fine, yet full. I used the ionic portion for my first use. I unfortunately cannot tell if it was the dryer that made my hair shiny, bouncy and light or the free sample argon oil I received and used in conjunction with the Moroccan shampoo, which I also used for the first time. I received the packages almost immediately after placing my order. I am very pleased with my purchase from Folica and will definitely be a return customer.posted Oct 20, 2009Link to this post
