BaBylissProfessional 3Q Hair Dryer - Powerful 2200W Blow Dryer, Extra-Fast Air Flow and Ultra-Lightweight, 3 Heat & 2 Speed Settings, Black, 5665U

This hair dryer exceeded my expectations! My hair looks and feels much healthier as a result of using it.

After using a cheap hairdryer for years it decided to start smelling of burning so time to change.I bought a £25 dryer but it felt cheap and the cable was the thin flat hard plastic type which twists very easily so sent it back.I looked at the ‘premium’ dryers like Ghd and Cloud Nine but for £100+ to only get a 1 year warranty put me off.I saw this Babyliss dryer which was classed as Professional and it was on offer at around half the price of those salon dryers so decided to try it.As soon as you see the outer packaging you can tell it is a better quality product. No flimsy cardboard box, this is a open book type box with a sleeve over the top.Quite how they get the dryer in the box is puzzling as you need a degree to get it out without damaging the packaging but it can be done.Once out I was pleased to see that it had the professional type thicker round cable the same as the premium dryers and it was a very generous 3mtes long. The quality of the plastic and switches felt more premium compared to any dryer I have used.On to trying it and the motor actually sounds like a more expensive higher quality motor, which it is as it is digital as well as being the better AC type and the switches click nicely for the three heat and speed settings.The cold switch is illuminated when turned on and does provide a proper cold shot.If this is lit it overrides any heat setting so it needs to be off for hot air drying.The family all like this dryer and I am pleased I paid the extra for it and for £59 it is well worth it especially when you consider it has a 10 year motor guarantee, better than anything else on the market.In my opinion this is on an equal par if not better than those well known brands at virtually half there price.The warranty is the icing on the cake, no worries for years.

This is a great hairdryer, it dries quickly and leaves my hair smooth. It's not too heavy and it's well balanced, so it's nice to hold.

works as expected, so far. Cold/ hot settings, multiple options etc.

This is just perfect! And I know a thing or two about hairdryers. I have natural beach wave Scandinavian, medium thickness strands and a lot of them! So I need a powerful hairdryer to calm any frizz and unruly waves. I had a BaByliss Platinum Diamond that lasted about 8 years, it caved in last week, so I did quite a bit of research and landed on the 3Q. It’s pretty similar in size and power, but I really like how it doesn’t get as hot as the Diamond, even though I need heat to shape my hair, it seems to shape even better with less heat, which saves the hair from getting dry and crispy! It also feels like the blow dry is overall quicker than with the diamond and much less frizzy.I find it being very lightweight and the buttons on the handle doesn’t bother me at all, unlike some reviewers, they are placed there for easy thumb operation (thumbs up from me!)I cannot come to think of any cons with this tbh, so if you are looking for a sturdy hairdryer I’d go for this one💫

Excellent performance. Much better than the low cost hair dryers.

Light weight powerful drier

I read lots of reviews before committing to this model as it's not cheap. I'm the person who takes her hairdryer everywhere; even if the hotel says they provide one, because it's never powerful enough. However, this hairdryer is too powerful! I didn't realise this could be a problem. I have mid-short hair which requires styling with a round brush but this dryer blows so hard, it blows the style back out. I have tried using it on the lower power setting, but that's not right either. Really disappointed as this doesn't work for me and I've resorted to an old one and feel I'm going to have to buy yet another.However, on the plus side, it's light (almost takes off out of your hand when you switch it on) and quiet. If you want a super-powerful hairdryer, then this one will be good for you.
