Durable and FAST Dryer

Hot Tools Professional Typhoon Ion Motor AC Dryer with Travel Bag I have LOTS of hair. It's not too long (maybe 3 inches below my shoulders), but it's thick and there's plenty of it. He was uncomplicated until the birth of his daughter 7 years ago. Now it's wavy and looks even thicker and naughtier. Drying is difficult, so I usually don't bother. It usually takes me over 25 minutes to straight dry it with a round brush and my favorite blow dryer (a decent but still drugstore model that I've had a little longer than my daughter was alive). I don't have to spend that time often (7 years, remember). In the summer it's easy enough - when it's warm I just let it air dry and let it sink in. Some days are wavy, some almost curly, some are mostly straight. He's got a mind of his own, my hair has it, and basically I say live and let live. But winter is coming and I'm working outside the home for the first time in 7 years and will probably need to dry my hair more often. Because I don't have more time than ever. I figured it was time to upgrade my hair dryer and see if the technology had advanced enough to less than half an hour to make my hair look like it belonged to an adult head. I am pleased to report that this is the case. In a word, this hair dryer is AMAZING. That is hard. Both in terms of actual weight (surprisingly heavier than my previous model) and durability. This boy should get me through a decade, at least judging by how tough he seems. And it's FAST. Seriously - I dried my hair less than twice as fast as before. LESS THAN THE HALF?! It's like being given time as a gift (the best gift of all, almost impossible to ask let alone receive). To be honest it took about 12 minutes from towel drying after shower to completely dry and ready to go out the door. There are two temperature settings (high and low) and two speed settings (high and low) - I like that I can use a cooler heat setting and still dry quickly. My incredibly fast drying results have been achieved using a combination of high and low heat at high speed, so you can still get fast results even at lower temperatures. It was great knowing that I can dry my hair just a little bit longer than before into a proper hairstyle to towel dry enough to go out of the house and apply gel.
