Vidal Sassoon Professional Hair Dryer with Finger Diffuser Review

Hair styling is not something I worry much about. With the exception of a brief period during the late 1970's when I was still in grade school and longer hair was in vogue, my hair has always been short and easy to manage. Most of the time, I let my hair dry naturally but there are still some occasions when I need my hair to dry quickly. This is when I reach for the Vidal Sassoon Professional Hair Dryer with Finger Diffuser, an 1875 watt hair dryer from the styling professionals.

Hair Dryer Commentary:

This Vidal Sassoon hair dryer offers many advantages, even for someone like myself who doesn't normally use hair dryers. First, it is nice to have three different heat settings and two different air flow speeds. I have owned simpler devices before that only offered two heat settings and one speed. On warm heat and high airflow, my hair is completely dry in about two to three minutes. There is a higher heat setting that would probably do the trick even faster but I avoid this setting because it is too hot on my head.

Vidal Sassoon Professional also offers special attachments and added features that make it a good choice for those with longer hair and special hair problems. One added feature is the ionizer. This is easily turned on or off using the switch on the top of the hair dryer. Ionization, I have been told, seals in moisture, makes the hair dry faster, and eliminates frizziness. This feature works very nicely according to my wife. She doesn't have to use as much conditioner thanks to the ionizing abilities of this hair dryer.

The main reason I purchased this model of hair dryer is because my wife wanted the attachments- particularly the diffuser. The diffuser is very good, according to my wife. In fact, she rates it among the best she has ever used and the reason is because it is so large and has so many prongs (12 in total). It makes curly hair look very nice, diffusing the heat in an efficient manner so that no small area is getting blasted with excess heat.

Other features on this hair dryer include a cold blast feature and the straightening device. The cold blast is designed to quickly blast the hair with cold air to help hold a style in place and it probably works best on those with long, straight hair. The straightening device is, again, for people who have straight hair, want to straighten their hair, or want only a small amount of wave. It isn't useful to us but it seems to be a good attachment and it easily snaps on and off the front of the hair dryer.
