I did read that on some of the comments on amazon. I wonder what about Marshalls? They have T3 and Chi products there all the time from about $40-100.

This was the one I ended up getting. Walmart.com: Zoe Black w/White Polka Dot Hair Dryer, #ZO601BWDRY: Hair Care
Though I didn't get it at Walmart, I got it at Marshalls for $19.99. The diffuser fits in really snug which is a big plus. The hot air is consistently hot, not like the ones I've had prior, that not only went from really hot to lukewarm, but also sparked on occasion as well.

I still feel my hair is as limp and lifeless as ever. I am using a root boosting product on my roots, and a curl enhancing product mid shaft and ends. Also a finishing/scrunching spray. Results are eh =/ I think I just really need to get my hair re premed, but I don't want to spend the money right now.

Try Paul Mitchell volumizing mousse! It works amazing for volume! Put some in before you blow dry! I love Paul Mitchell products, they always do what they say they are going to do (at least for my hair).

Good question! Thanks for asking this! I need a new dryer too and have curly hair. I have a Revlon one too with a diffuser that doesn't like to stay on. LOL

It's about a year old, you mean the one I linked didn't have those features???

I just checked and it has the cool shot as well as the easy to clean filter. Anyway, glad you found one that you like, I still wonder if paying $$$$$ is worth it, I know what your purse forum would say. :D

To heck w them! They don't understand value, they pay $1000s of dollars for handbags. Of course they will say get the T3. :rolleyes: and to think people say we are judgemental here, HA!

Maybe you can convince some of them that their purse is so last season. Then start up a gently used purse business! :D

Thousands for handbags...I just can't understand that. What are you doing hanging around those crazies??? :D They even carry the same one everyday! But a few hundred for a product that I use every single day for years...that makes sense to me.

Handbag to woman is like car to man. :D

That's why I don't anymore. One member esp made me mad, so I never returned. Asking their opinion on anything has never gotten me anywhere. That's why I love YT! :D:thumbup:

I like this idea!!!!!

LOL We've actually tried the consignment business before. That failed. :thumbdown

Never mind then.

I like ceramic hairdryers.bablyliss is my fav..but theres alot of good ones out there, before i was a hairdresser i use to pick a conair one up from walmart, they always use to catch on fire within a year, where investing in a professional hairdryer, it has lasted me years, it still has no problems, so although you pay more for a professional one it lasts longer. Also i find what products you use.. and how you touch your hair when you dry it can be the most noticable. when you dry your hair you should use a product to protect your hair from damage and to hold your curl nice(not the hard as a rock crispy products lol)different products work for different hair types and people, i like professional products the best, redken mostly, it costs more but its more condensed and has better ingredients, so you don't have to use as much as drugstore products.you always work the product into your hands, start by the nape of the neck on damp hair, to the front of the hairline, never apply too much! less is more. then when drying your hair with the diffuser you never ever touch it too much, the more you touch it the frizzyer it will be.you just gently hold your hair with one hand while holding the diffuser on it with other in sections.i use a shine spray to finish off, i use redken shine spray, but theres alot of other good professional products too, i hold it an arm lenghts away, and sprits it twice to mist it, too much and you look greasy!just a little looks healthy:)..also that dust and woolies that collect in your hairdryer, clean it out regularly!!!!!!! this can cause your hairdryer to overheat, causing you to have fryed hair, dry damaged and split ends.hairs an accessory you wear everyday, protect it :)

Thanks for all of this! I do use drug store products. When I used salon products I did not find that much of an improvement to justify the price. I used to use Amplify shampoo/conditioner, and all the Big Sexy Hair products. My hair did not ever get big nor sexy. :rolleyes: I don't like to use mousse bc it leaves that crunchy "wet look" that I hate. And my hair doesn't get frizzy at all. My hair is stick straight asian hair. It's permed, but not colored, with no split ends. I have to get it permed every 6 months or so, and I'm due for one again. Even after 3 + hours at the salon, I leave with slightly wavy hair, not curly. I would like it to be more curly, so it will fall out into waves.

However, I do use my flat iron to style and curl or wave my hair, and since I have the perm in it, the curls last longer than when I used to curl my hair when it was unpermed. So it will almost last a night, when before it would almost last 5 mins.

This is the style that I want. I got the bangs and the length so far. I did start off shorter, bc I know shorter hair looks fuller, so I may go shorter again.
