So Far So Good:)/getting The Most Out Of This DryerFirst of all I have to say that Folica's customer service is the best I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Whenever I called to ask questions I received prompt, knowledgeable and courteous information and their follow up was just as good. I initially decided to buy this dryer because of all the positive reviews I read. My previous hood dryer was on its last leg and it took forever to dry my hair. My second incentive was that it was on sale with free shipping so I paid about 116 and some change for it. I am a Haitian-American female with very dense & thick shoulder length hair. I use this dryer for deep conditioning and drying my hair. Overall I feel that this dryer does a good job of drying my hair in a minimal amount of time, usually around 45 minutes. I did find that if I choose to wrap my hair, when it was 3/4 of the way dry I had to take it down and part it down the middle to make sure that that section of my hair was dry. So now I mainly just comb it back, leave it down and dry it that way. FYI: for those individuals who have mentioned that this dryer took a long time to dry their hair-I would suggest making sure that the fan on the inside of the dryer is completely open. On the inside part of the dryer (where you place your head) near the from their is a silver knob that controls the opening and closing of the fan. The first time I used my dryer the fan wasn't open all the way and it took forever to dry. When I opened up the fan, my hair was completely dry in less then 45 mins. The fan is completely open then all the vents are clear. If some of the vents have silver thins in front of them, it's only partially open. Despite how great I think this dryer is I am giving it 4 stars because I feel that it doesn't come with good enough instructions regarding it's use. However, overall I am very satisfied with my purchase, comparable dryers are much more expensive and they don't come with Folica�s great customer service:)posted Oct 2, 2009Link to this post -

Works On All Hair Types If You Roller SetI love, love, love this dryer. I have had it for two years now and use it to wet set my hair with rollers. I am African-American with hair an inch or so from my bra strap. Many of my non-African American friends have used it after I roller set their hair and it works fine (though the longer/thicker the person's hair, the longer they have to be under the drying). Note: I do not use this dryer when I want to wear my hair curly ... I air dry my hair for that. Hope this review helps, this really is a fantastic dryer :-)posted Aug 28, 2009Link to this post -

Great ProductI am African American and this product worked great with my type of hair. I just used my hair dryer over the weekend. It left my hair feeling soft and bouncy. I just wrapped my hair, sat underneath the dryer, and it dried my hair completely from root to end. This product is great for maybe shorter hair types.posted Aug 5, 2009Link to this post

DisappointedLove the idea of a drying hat to free up hands, but it only dried the top of my head, my shoulder length hair would not evenly dry. I was disappointed. Sturdy base and not overly loud, but it was not tall enough so I could sit at my vanity and apply makeup at the same time. I sent it back and Folica quickly gave me a full refund, no hassles. Great experience with Folica, although I would not reccommend this product.posted May 22, 2009Link to this post

The Verdict Is Still OutJust tried it this morning. I have long curly hair.It dried my scalp area quickly and gently, loved that, but it doesnt seem to blow air down very far to dry the hair in the middle of my back.... Not sure if Ill keep it or not yet.posted Feb 25, 2009Link to this post

ExcellentI have fine African American hair lightly relaxed. I wanted stop using the flat irons all the time and start wet setting my hair. I decided to purchase this dryer at Xmas time as a present to myself.I used Chi Serum, water, roller set my hair and less than 20 mins, it was soft, beautiful, silky and bouncey.After going to the hairdressers and paying $$40.00 for a wash & set in my area, this dryer more than pays for itself. Normally it takes me 2-3 hours when I go to the hairdresser, now its just 20 min set, 20 mins dry vs. up to 3 hour wait.I love it!posted Jan 21, 2009Link to this post

Great On African American HairI purchased this dryer 2 years ago and absolutely love it. I have long hair and it takes about 25 mins to dry. Using the ion feature while I dry my hair has added a natural shine. My only caution is that you may overdry your hair if youre not careful. I start with 5 minutes on high, then 10 minutes on medium and the balance on low. I have the ion dry feature on the majority of the time.posted Jan 10, 2009Link to this post

I Love It Too!!!I read the reviews before purchasing this dryer. I am an African American female and have long, thick hair. I like to style my hair in roller sets or "Doobies". It would take me almost 2 hours for my hair to dry. I got the product quickly, it was easy to set up, and with a little setting lotion and rollers, my hair dried in 1 hour. That is absolutely amazing. I havent figured out what the "ion" function does, but it obviously helps. So glad I invested in this product. Im an Absolute Believer!posted Dec 13, 2008Link to this post

African American HairFirst...I got the product SUPER FAST!! Second...the dryer is the best. It was very easy to set up and it gets sooooo hot that it took less time than a hooded dryer. I am African American and have normal hair that was breaking. I used it for deep conditioning and regular drying. My hair has been growing ever since/bc I dont have to put heat for long periods of time on my hair!! Its works like the salon.Im also short and it adjust to you...not you to the dryer!posted Sep 16, 2008Link to this post
