you definitely don't need a pibbs. i use a hot tools 1059 dryer. it works really well; gets my magnetic roller sets done in 45 minutes or less. has a good amount of airflow, but doesn't suck upwards like the pibbs does.
bought mine off of ebay for $120, including shipping.
I was thinking of purchasing myself that one. I have a Ion ionic portable head dryer. Last night, I did a roller set and my hair turned out Horrible ...I guess the thing overheated and stopped working. I unplugged it and set it aside...I was so heart broken
At around midnight, I decided to plug it back in and check if it worked. It was just like a Cinderella story...That thing WORKED ...I'm so relieved....sorry I had to vent. Bottom line, I plan to get a gold n hot ionic head dryer as well for back up...cause I have no back up.
No. I used a Gold 'N Hot before mine broke. However, when I reach APL, I am treating treating myself to a Babybliss or a PIBBS for all of my hard work.
