My hair has never looked so good as when I blow it out with this powerful and highly adjustable Elchim professional blow dryer. I’ve gone through lots of dryers over the years and some have been quite spendy, but this is my all time favorite. I didn’t luck out and get the best hair as it’s fine, dry, thinning around my face, lifeless and resistant to holding style. Even though it’s not dirty, I typically need to wash and blow it out with a round brush everyday if I want it to have a nice shape and style.This dryer allows me to get the perfect heat and power setting for different areas of my hair. My hair is fine and thin in front, so I need lower heat to avoid damage. And it’s fine but thick and heavier in the back, so I need higher heat there for better hold. The controls are on the side, except the cool shot is in the middle. I’ve quickly adjusted to using the controls on the side that allow for incremental changes in heat and power. The dryer is easy to hold as it’s relatively compact and lightweight and also easy to maneuver with a long (and pro quality) power cord.My hair comes out it’s best and has more shape and hold than I’ve ever been able to get with my other dryers. I use the longer concentrator as I think it prevents more damage, and it works well for me. A shorter one is included, along with a diffuser. I usually blow my hair under to get the most shape and fullness, and the heat and power settings are easy to use to get more hold than usual. I use the cool shot button to lock in the shape, and my ends look so much healthier and smooth and are actually bouncy and full of body. I can even flip the end ups when blowing my hair out for a different look, and it will stay that way even into the next day. I’m getting superior results in the same or less time.My hair is lifeless except it gets some frizz, and this Elchim dryer smooths the frizz out perfectly. Plus, I don’t get any static like I do with some other dryers. Unlike usual, the second day my hair still has its shape and the ends still look fresh and perky. This is the best dryer for me, and it’s so adjustable and powerful it should be great for thick, coarse hair too (or any hair type). The presentation looks high end, like professional hair dryers that I’ve purchased. This Elchim dryer would be a treasured gift for anyone who values high end hair tools. As a side note, my hair stylist only buys Elchim dryers for use at the salon. Love it. 5 stars. Made in Italy.
