BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Hair Dryer

Full-time graduate student-CheckFull-time professional employee-CheckMommy to a young child-CheckTo say my hair is not at the top of my priority list would be an understatement. My hair routine typically consisted of washing it at night a few times a week, slapping in some leave-in conditioner, and going to bed. This resulted in my thick, medium-long hair being frizzy and a bit unruly. I had finally been considering listening to my hairstylist friend that insisted sleeping on wet hair is nearly a cardinal sin, but I just didn’t want to spend the 45 minutes drying my hair with my $30 Conair. And lord knows I wasn’t about to wake up earlier to shower in the morning than I already had to. Convieniently, my sister was in town visiting and had brought along her bright yellow DryBar blow dryer and offered me to try it out. I started using it 2-3 times a week and was pretty happy with the results. I was able to dry my hair in under 20 minutes and while it wasn’t perfect, it was far better than my previous ‘style’. Right when I had figured out the best combination of hair products, my sister went back home and took her dryer with her (boo). So I went to look at purchasing one for myself, and immediately scoffed and took a hard pass when I saw the $200 price tag. Thus began my brief journey into searching Amazon and the all-mighty internet for some reviews and recommendations on a cheaper alternative. I kept seeing this Babyliss pop up, the baby blue color was familiar as my previously mentioned hairstylist friend uses one of their flat irons. After reading more reviews, I finally ordered it. And let me say, I am glad I didn’t fork over the $200 for the DryBar, because y’all THIS ONE IS BETTER! I promise you, I didn’t think it was possible but it is. It takes me 12-15 minutes to fully dry my hair, and it actually comes out less frizzy than the other dryer. Super shiny, low-frizz, soft to the touch. Simply awesome. The dryer itself is lightweight and has a few options for heat level and speed (I use high heat on the low speed setting). This combined with a paddle brush and I get a smooth, semi-straight style. I’ve used it 3x so far and felt it safe to write a review and recommend it! If you are searching for a great mid-tier dryer, this one fits the bill!

I'm SO glad I found this awesome and inexpensive dryer! It is the cheapest of the BaBylissPRO dryers and I never thought I'd be willing to invest in their expensive products, but this one is nice and cheap at least online it is. At Ulta, it's $85. And boy had I been missing out! I thought BaByliss might be all hype but after using this for a year now, I am questioning why I ever hesitated to buy this. I had no idea how much an industrial strength saves dry time without damaging my fine / thin hair! It is not overly big or cumbersome, more like a nice mid-sized blow dryer with a lot of power for being such a light-weight.Here's the deets:- Powerful 2000-watt Italian motor (power = quick dry time)- Advanced technology that distributes heat equally along the hair shaft- Negative ions mean not only quicker drying, but a flowing, frizz-free look!- Offers 6 heat/cool speed settings & a cool shot button- Removable chrome steel filter for easy-peasy maintenance- Comes with a concentrator nozzle for us control-freaks- Limited 4-year warrantyHOW I USE THIS DRYER:I like to start on the highest & hottest setting and then ramp down the heat as my hair becomes drier. Then, I use the high & cool setting with the cold shot button depressed to close the follicles and seal the deal, leaving my hair only very slightly damp.TIP: I have had incredible results with no more fly-aways by using this dryer on my wet hair and applying 3-4 pumps ofSuave Professionals Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil just before drying my hair. I use the concentrator nozzle every time all the time so I can dry only where needed and not fry my hair.

For the longest time, my hair always looked so overwhelmingly damaged and frizzy that I was embarrassed to wear my hair down. I would always tie it up in a ponytail or braid it so people couldn't see how damaged it was. I tried every expensive, professional salon brand shampoo and conditioner I could find, hoping one of them would work. After having no luck, I finally decided that it would be best just to chop all of my hair off so I wouldn't have to deal with it anymore. Coincidentally, I was in the market for a new hair dryer anyway since the old Conair I had was about 20 years old and had the fan on the SIDE of the dryer, which made it easy to constantly have my hair sucked into it and leave me to pry it out.After searching to find a cute, well made hair dryer with the fan on the back, I happened upon the Babyliss Pro. It met all of my criteria: cute, fan in the back, and different heat/speed settings. The dryer also boasted that it could dry faster than other dryers, as well as reduce frizziness and increase shine. I didn't think this could possibly be true since all hair dryers are the same, right? They just blow hot air. Well, I thought I'd at least give it a shot since it has a good reputation. So I ordered it.Ordering this hair dryer has changed my hair completely and I couldn't be happier! After just one blow dry, my hair was rid of frizz and looked healthy and strong. It also cut my drying time by a drastic amount! My hair is long (almost down to my belly button) and it would usually take an hour to dry with my old Conair. With my new Babyliss hair dryer, my hair dries in no time at all! It's super gentle on my hair and feels so much better than my old hair dryer in every way.Another added benefit is that my hair is now incredibly soft. The first day I used it, I kept running my hands through my hair because I couldn't believe how soft it made it feel.I always used to dread drying my hair because it would take so long and feel like my hair was being fried. Now, I can't wait to start drying my hair because I know I'll be done in less than fifteen minutes and my hair will look beautiful afterwards.I can't say enough good things about this hair dryer. It's done amazing things for my hair and I love it.
