Review on Hot Tools Taifun Tourmaline Turbo by Cody Hinckley

So after being blown away (no pun intended) by the Hot Tools hair dryer, I had very high hopes for this Taifun Ionic AC Motor Dryer. Please note that I'm not a professional so I'm just basing this on my experience with other hair dryers. The first thing that struck me was the weight; this dryer is a little heavier than any others I've used; It feels strong and durable, and the weight is well balanced, which somehow makes it easier to use. It has a slightly rubberized handle that makes it easy to hold, especially when working with wet hair. Drying is pretty good; It doesn't dry as fast as my hair dryer, but dries faster than my $30 hair dryer. I am sure that as a stylist you would often use the cool blow function to style your hair. This is good if you just want a hair blast without the heat, and it's good if you're trying to minimize damage to your hair. Personally, I don't see myself using this feature all that often. Overall, it's certainly a good hair dryer and a lot better than my cheaper $30 Revlon, but I really don't think I'll spend the $100 retail price, let alone overpriced here. . I'm not sure why there is such a discrepancy in price, but I suggest doing a little research and research before purchasing :)
