Thought I was the only weirdo that struggled to dry her hair w/in 45mins.Recently found out my best friend is the same & she (like me) was convinced there was no way around it. Writing this review b/c there's probably more of us out there. And you 100% aren't stuck.I've got long, thin hair - but a lot of it. It traps moisture & it's naturally wavy, so it always took me 30-45mins to tame it dry. Most of the time, a solid 45mins. Result was hit or miss. Since I have to wash my hair every other day, breaking point comes when you don't want to wash your hair b/c you don't want to deal with the drying time & tired arms (...and I'm strong).Bought this on a whim during a Gilt Group sale, when my generic (probably Conair) dryer was on the out.Now I dry my hair in 10-15mins. Usually, a bankable 10mins. On a bad hair day, 15mins.No, seriously.On top of that pile of awesome, it's very light & evenly weighted. Buttons are intuitive & don't get accidently knocked on/off while you use it. Results are always the same. Doesn't damage my hair w. heat (probably b/c it takes so little time). And it's small enough that it's an easy travel companion.Don't get scared off by this dryer's price - it's a life saver. And game changer. Delay getting this if you want to waste your time.For the Holy Trifecta: this hairdryer, a boar bristle roller brush, & Shu Uemura White Tea Polishing Milk.This dryer & a boar bristle brush easily tames my hair w. little effort & leaves it looking silky smooth. Every time. (Note: choose a brush that has both natural boar bristles & taller plastic bristles w. the knob-like, non-scratchy tip - needs a decent amount of boar bristles, but few enough to let air through easily. It doesn't have to be expensive, just needs to fit those parameters.) For doubled ease, get Shu's White Tea Polishing Milk. A little goes a long way. You'll be a happy addict. Rub some in your hands & pat it from middle of your hair to the ends, but particularly the ends to give them a little tangle protection. It helps smooth my hair even faster & it lets my hair better tackle humidity - friends have commented that I look normal when they feel they don't. PS - The brush & Shu isn't a hack - the dryer is. The 3 together is trifecta.I was ecstatic to find this - I'd always struggled just to tame my stubborn hair. Now I actually feel in control of it. Just bought a replacement for my 3/4yr old original & also bought one for my mom as an xmas present. My friend's now a convert & begging for the name of my dryer.You won't regret.
