Best kind of hooded dryer for rollersetting

[zzirvingj]

I should probably know the answer to this but I don't lol

Please don't tell me I need to get an expensive Pibbs, either lol Although, if it's what I need, I will get one...eventually...I guess lol

But what do you look for when buying a hooded dryer? I want one that's going to keep my hair healthy, and I understand the type of heat is important. So does that mean I need an "ionic" hooded dryer? Is there even such a thing?

$119 free shipping i've had it for six months now, great construction, even air flow and adjustable heat, my hair is layered bsl and it takes an hour for my hair to dry

People will say the Pibbs because it has a superior upward air flow, hence making the drying process quicker, but essentially I think most of the free standing dryers are fine. Just look for one with a decent heat level, what MilkChocolate has posted looks fine.

Try Sally Beauty. They usually offer free shipping on dryers. I owned the Babybliss Lro Ionic dryer from there. It cost $99. It worked great! I have since updated to the Venus dryer from Sally's. It's $199, but the difference in quality is huge!!! Dries much faster and even than the Baby Bliss. My hubby just bought me the Pibbs Dryer chair and now I have a mini dryer station! I do plan to treat myself and upgrade to a Pibbs dryer when I hit APL.

I'd get something Pibbs like...salonrus

I have a Pibbs and I love it, but there are cheaper ones with the upward air flow that are probably just as good.

PIBBS!!

Bumping!

I need a new dryer and can't afford a Pibbs either lol.

i just ordered the one from salonsrus - researched for about 2 weeks - and it was between this one and the pibbs which is 3x the price - decided to try this one and if i dont like it,send it back and get the pibbs. i will report back when i get it and use it a bit.

milkchocolate and anyone else who has not replied yet - do you mind replying to this thread with your experience of the salonrus dryer or whatever you have? i am trying to put together a comparison resource for ladies in the future who make this search - it's nice to have a few specific things to compare about the different models.
