This hair dryer is very lightweight and quiet. When I was using it I did feel as though it wasn't very powerful but is actually just the fact it is so quiet. My hair was dried in record quick time, with my previous hair dryer it was taking ages. I've just had my hair lightened a week ago and it’s a bit coarse but because this is an ionic drier, after using it my hair looks very healthy and glossy, just as it was after I left the hair salon. The shape and size of the handle makes it very easy and comfortable to hold and use. Brilliant hair dryer, if you are looking to buy a new one, then I can definitely recommend it. As always great service from Look Fantastic, fast delivery.
