BaByliss Pro BABP6685N Porcelain Ceramic Carrera2 Dryer

My husband recently asked me what the hairdresser did to make my hair look so sleek when she styled it. I used the same products as her and copied her techniques but my fine hair tended to be a bit frizzy. The next time I was at the hairdressers I paid closer attention. Same shampoo, conditioner, brush size and similar technique. As she blew my hair dry I realized the difference - she used a professional hair dryer. For years I have purchased inexpensive drugstore hairdryers that run about $20 and replaced them when they blew a fuse a year or so later.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this hair dryer. I read all of the reviews and compared brands. This model had high user ratings.
