Good Morning Ladies!!

I'm having issues with drying my hair. Currently I have a Pink Ion hard bonnet dryer. It is probably about 2 years old. Lately, it has been setting my hair & scalp on fire. It gets so freaking hot that I end up sweating. Even if I place the dryer on "lo heat" I end up sweating. This is not a good look when trying to dry my rollerset or flexirod set. And while it gets hotter than heck, it still takes my hair over one hour to dry. Well, I was thinking of using the cool setting on the dryer, but that takes 3-4 hours for my hair to dry.

While I want to start back rollersetting or using flexirods, I can't stand the heat. I was also thinking of airdrying, but is it possible to retain a smooth silky finish (as I would if I used the hard bonnet) if i airdryed my hair? Or should I go ahead and purchase a new dryer (Sally's is taking $5 off of any new appliance when you give them their old one)?

Also, I will take suggestions for hair dryers and or products that will help me.

Oh, when I set my hair I use Keracare Wrap Lotion (trying to get rid of it) and Joico Split-end mender (trying to get rid of that as well). But I have also used Salerm 21 with Paul Mitchell Serum. I texlaxed in March, but I'm transitioning again so I have like three different textures in my hair right now.
 
WOW, you're a soldier! I used to HATE sitting under my hard bonnet dryer..... When it broke (on it's own... I didn't try and break it, HONEST!) I was singing praises. But of course it gave me a new problem: looking for a new one. May I suggest buying a soft bonnet dryer? THEY ARE AMAZING!!! They dry hair Super fast! They don't hurt! AND they are comfortable! Try doing a search many ladies here have one!
 
Sonye- which soft bonnet do you have?

I have an ion bonnet dryer- that I love. OP I would definitely suggest a soft bonnet dryer, mine dries my hair in about 30 minutes on cool, and it is not hot at all. Unfortunately no one makes this dryer anymore.
 
Yeah I think the soft bonnet dryer would be the way to go. I was looking at the Gold N Hot Soft Bonnet Ionic Dryer Model GH2138 and that model seems to be discontinued. I am seeing the GH3984 model and I would assume that it's the upgraded version. I may give that a try. Hopefully Sally's has it and I can trade in my Pink Ionic Dryer. It's just not cutting it for me anymore....
