 I love it!Apr 15, 2007
By Sherry Hanes
My hair is course & thick w/ some natural curl. I have never had any kind of styler that has made my hair so shiny and sleek. My hair would always have a frizzed dull look before this dryer. This dryer has replaced my hair dryer, flat iron, & brush. I only use this Hot Air Styler and a pick comb. I can have my hair dried and styled in record time! It has a 3 year warranty but if it broke tomorrow, I would immediately order another!

Great product - I love it!!!!!!!Jun 15, 2007
By Nancy L. Albrecht
"Amused One"
Just received this and am VERY pleased with it. I have fine, thick, naturally curly hair with quite a bit of frizz, especially in moisure. Have combated the curl/frizz all my life - even ironing my hair in the 60's. No matter what product or combination of products I have used to straigten and soften I still would end up with this halo of frizz. This styler has all but eliminated that! It's easy to use - if you can brush your hair you can manage the appliance. And all in all it actually takes less time to dry and style than my old normal routine with blow dryer and flat straigtener. As an added note - originally saw the product in an ad on my browser, clicked on it which took me to the Conair web site. Conair's price was $59.99 plus shipping. Bought new from Amazon.com for $49.99 - with free shipping!! I would highly recommend to anyone and I recommend buying here.

Maybe You Won't Need To Buy Both the Styler and Dryer.Jul 08, 2007
By rctnyc
I gave a very favorable review to the Infiniti tourmaline hair designer, the hair dryer sold by Conair as an accompaniment to this Hot Air Styler. I tried the Hot Air Styler because it was light weight, and also appeared to be lighter and more portable than the dryer. As it happened, two hours after the Styler was delivered via Fed Ex, I got caught in a rainstorm while running and was able to test the Styler on my very wet, long, curly hair. It appears to work as well as the hair dryer and is also highly maneuverable. In fact, I think that you might want to try it before either purchasing the dryer or buying both items together as Amazon suggests.

Fantastic for Chemically Treated Relaxed Hair!Sep 27, 2007
By S. Douglas
"Sassy Shopper"
This product is genius! I purchased it this past weekend because of a recommendation from a friend who currently has the Conair 208 Infiniti Tourmaline Hair Designer and Dryer. She said that her current styler works great but its a bit bulky and this styler should be great to handle because it's alot smaller. Boy was she right. I used to get cramps in my arms trying to blow dry my hair and it would always leave it puffy so I would still have to use a flat iron or curling iron. That's not the case with this baby. It's really a 3 in 1 one machine and cuts my styling time in half. I was a little skeptical at first because some stylers don't work well on black hair but this really did. My hair is permed/relaxed, thick and long(a little bit past my bra strap) and this styler managed my hair with ease leaving it smooth and shiny. The hair dryer and straightening iron are hot enough to get the roots of my hair straight but I didn't have to wince once because it didn't burn(which can happen when you use a blow dryer and separate brush esp. if you do it in a hair salon). This means that I can go longer without touch-ups.
The ends of my hair did not come out as smooth as it usually would had I used a flat iron but I don't mind because a flat iron usually has to be pretty hot and can sometimes leave that burned scent on my hair even if I use a protective styling cream.
I feel comfortable enough to use this styler everyday. Which is such a relief because I work up a pretty good sweat in the gym. Now I can wash my hair at home and have it nicely styled on my own in less than 30 mins. That sure beats putting it up in a boring ponytail or spending 3 hours at the hair salon:-)
I am giving these as gifts to my sisters for the holidays. It is really unbelievable.

 Simply doesn't do what it claims to.Apr 05, 2007
By Anonymous
This is the first time in my life I have been inspired to come online and write a review of a product.
When I first saw the ad for this on TV, I thought it sounded like just what I needed. I rushed to the store, but it wasn't even on sale yet. Finally I found it yesterday at walgreen's- and I hate to say- it stinks!
I have just below shoulder length curly hair. I generally throw in some gel and let it air dry- I hate spending a lot of time on my hair. But once in a while I straighten it- which involves blow dry with a round brush, and then using a ceramic flatiron to finish. I am not very good with a hair dryer, and it takes me a long time and I find it awkward managing the brush and the dryer, and I don't do a very good job. Plus then I need to use the iron too, and it takes me a good 30-45 min total.
So I thought this product would be great. All in one! A time-saver! Easier to use!
Well, I was wrong.
First of all, it took about twice as long just to dry my hair as it would with my hairdryer. It's not very powerful. Next, it was barely straight! Even on the "4" setting, there wasn't much tension at all. It left my hair puffy and frizzy and barely straight. So after an hour, I had hair that was not as straight as if I had just dried it alone- and I still needed to use the flatiron.
Don't be fooled. It will NOT give you the flat sleek hair that they picture on the box.
I just hope I can return it.
Guess I will stick with my CHI iron for now.
I *might* try the "long hair" version of this dryer to see if that's any better.
