 Good Quality Dryer (with poor button placement) |

| I have been using this hair dryer for about 9 months, in winter on a daily basis and summertime almost daily. It is compact, light, fast, and fairly quiet. It also seems to be less damaging than the other dryers I have tried. My only issue is the buttons are at an awkward angle, and even after nine months (and 15 years of regular hairdryer use) I am still hitting the temperature button accidentally. I read that this was a problem on different websites before I bought it and unfortunately ignored the reviews. Another word of warning for those of you with straight, thin hair, as I have...this hair dryer will not add any volume! On the contrary, it tends to flatten my hair more than it is, naturally. I think it would be better suited to those with naturally thick and wavy/curly hair that like to blowdry it straight...it leaves a smooth and shiny finish. |

I must admit that I have never owned a hair dryer before. My hair has always been long and free flowing and I never bothered to really take time out of my day to style it but I decided that going out with a wet head every day can't be that good for me so I finally broke down and purchased one. Once I decided to get a hair dryer the process of finding a good one took longer than I thought and finally frustrated by ambiguous information on the net, overflowing with brands I have never heard of I decided to splurge a tiny bit on a BabyBliss, a brand popular with my friends.
This is truly a wonderful product; the difference in my hair is night and day. Even a quick blow dry in the morning takes most of the wetness out and I am left with a fresh, flowing look, or taking an extra minute and attaching the provided diffuser and brushing the hair down as I dry it makes for shiny and sleek waterfall like cascade of hair. The dryer is not only made well, the back vent is raised so it doesn't get clogged and the mesh is very fine but the whole feel of the metal is almost velvety in the hands, the red color is also really gorgeous and I like how it looks in my bathroom. This is a very strong dryer; it takes me about 3 minutes or less to do my hair with it and I like the variety of 6 settings - Low, Med, High for the strength of the air flow and Cool, Warm and Hot for the heat settings. It also has a Cool button that is great for locking shine and keeping my head and hair from getting too hot.
Ionic dryers are so popular now that it's hard to pick which one is good, but this one is a real winner in my eyes. It's fast, powerful and works wonders. I also enjoy seeing myself with good hair, it's almost a shock after all these years...

I have just had the second Babyliss Pro TT Tourmaline 3000 start going out. The first one lasted a year & half & then started vibrating badly & making a high-pitched whine. Beauty supply store exchanged it for me Feb/09 & it is now doing the same thing again (May/10). I don’t know if they’ll exchange it a second time, but I would never buy this brand again.
