I have very curly hair. I grew up having my hair relaxed starting at age 10 and went natural in college, then relaxed it again, then natural again a few times. Living in Miami it was hard to straighten my hair with heat, but once I moved to Chicago it was more duable. I usually used a blow dryer with a comb on it, straightening comb and curling iron, then wrapped my hair and slept on it and then had to use the curling iron on it again and so on before it was completely straight. And, to avoid damaging my hair I'd have to use moisturizers on my hair which would weigh it down at times so I was rarely 100% happy with it. I had a bonnet hair dryer which took forever to dry my hair so I gave up on that and stuck with my routine of the blow dryer, etc. Having grown up going to hair salons, I hate going and sitting under hair dryers. And since I've been natural I've been only 3 times. The first time, the person straightenging my natural hair burned my hair and I actually had to cut it because parts of my hair was never curly again. The other times weren't much better.
But, I was tired of just wearing my hair natural all the time and the blow drying had taken it's toll and thinned out the ends of my hair so I saw the reviews here and decided to give it a shot. I used setting lotion on my hair and roller set it, just like my hairstylists used to. My hair was dry within an hour using this dryer. And, it's shiny and healthy and when I comb it there's no breakage. I can't believe it! I didn't know it was possible for my hair to feel this healthy and smooth! And All I use is a light sheen spray and so it moves and it's amazing! Lots of compliments.
So, I would recommend this dryer and mostly because of how fast it dries. I also love that it's on the adjustable stand because I can just sit in a wingback chair I have in my bedroom with the dryer set up behind it and relax and watch tv while it dries. I'm very happy with it.

So Im writing this while sitting under my new (very hot dryer) lol. I have been looking for a good dryer and I almost bought one that was about $200 cheaper until i read ALL of the reviews for this. Its funny because even the "bad" review wasnt bad. She just said that she doesnt use it for curlers but rather deep conditioning and it didnt work well for her that way.
I LOVE THIS THING. I have very curly mixed hair and I like to have it straight sometimes. My old cheaper bonnet dryer broke after years of good use. So it was time for an upgrade. I have to say I AM VERY IMPRESSED. I did my daughters hair this morning and it only took me one hour. My sister came over and I did hers as well. I am on to mine now and we all had deep conditioners (with the net wrap that came with the dryer over my shower cap of course) Usually it takes me about 4 hours to do just MY hair so I dont even think about anyone elses hair that day. So I agree that it cuts the hair doing process in half
I am so happy that I took the advise of the over reviewers. This was well worth the money and I am sure i will get ALOT of use out of it. (so will my sister and daughter lol) I dont feel like doing my hair is a chore anymore. I will say that if you have long hair, you should purchase a triangle net wrap for over your rollers. The one that comes with the dryer is really only good to put over your shower cap for deep conditioners. You will need something a little bigger to wrap around the rollers. Other than that. PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE AND THE ADVICE OF ALL THE OTHER REVIEWERS. THIS IS WORTH IT TO PURCHASE. You will not regret it.

I bought this dryer several weeks ago and I am absolutely 100% pleased with the product. Initially I did have to think twice about the cost but I figured that if it was a great product it would pay for itself in the long run. With a month's worth of use it has absolutely already paid for itself.
The dryer was very easy to set up. I completed the set up in 10 minutes. The quality of the legs on wheels is wonderfully convenient and the legs are of a super quality. This is a product that will last for years. It was easy to adjust the height of the bonnet to any seat. This dryer gets HOT!! As another reviewer mentioned. The lid on the bonnet must be firmly lifted...do not try to jerk it open or you risk damaging the lid.
I have a short bob hair cut, African-American course hair and my hair was silky soft and dried in less than 30 minutes. Salon quality results. My husband also commented on the quality of the machine and my results.
One additional added bonus for me. I have a medical condition that limits my ability to see my stylist at her shop. This is a perfect purchase for someone home bound or with limited mobility.
I hope you find this review helpful. I shop online daily and this is one of my best purchases.

Okay so I absolutely LOVE THIS DRYER!!!! My hair type is that of a biracial woman and has never had a perm so its very curly. I always went to the dominican salons for the roller set but I will never have to spend my money in a salon again with this dryer! After about 50 minutes(It may not take that long depending on your hair texture and length)my curls were so silky and bouncy. This dryer is as quiet as it's gonna get and it gets super hot. This is definitely salon quality equipment at its best. Ive tried the cheap table top hooded dryers before and hated them because the air doesnt circulate, it'll just blow on the top of your hair which will cause damage and unevenly dried hair. The hood on this dryer is so comfortable and big, but be careful because you must wear a net over your rollers and you might want to wear ear protectors because of the heat. I spent alot of time reviewing hooded dryers and I'm so happy i purchased this one. Yeah its a pretty penny but worth every cent and will pay for itself eventually. If you take your hair seriously and arent afraid of doing the job yourself, this is definitely a great investment.

I am so happy I took the splurge on this dryer. I have naturally curly hair that lays about 2 inches past my shoulders. It takes me about 50 minutes to dry my air with a ion hand held blow dryer that leaves my curls frizzy. I almost did not purchase this product based on most of the reviews are regarding using this dryer or roller sets. I figured i'd give it a shot, and am so glad that I did! After washing my hair, I leave my hair long and take a seat under the dryer. I thought that maybe due to the length of my hair, it would only dry the crown. Thankfully, this is not the case! The dryer is so powerful, that even my ends get dry. It's much more quiet then anticipated - I am able to plug n my ear buds, and use my cell phone when the dryer is on. My hair is completely dry after only 25 minutes, and my curls have never looked better. I write this review as I sit under the dryer with a head full conditioner wrapped in Saran Wrap. I have not used a hair net, and don't see the need for it. The dryer does have a upward flow, but it does not suck my hair up. If you are contemplating purchasing, go for it! You will not be sorry!
