I recently purchased the Andis Ceramic Ionic Styler Hair Dryer (82105) and I'm loving it! This hair dryer has ceramic and ionic technology that helps to reduce frizz and promote healthy hair. It also has multiple speed and heat settings that allow me to customize my styling routine. The dryer is lightweight and easy to handle, making it comfortable to use for extended periods. The cool shot button is a great feature that helps to set my style in place. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend this hair dryer to anyone looking for a high-quality styling tool. Read more

I was in need of a new hair dryer after mine broke and I discovered that they don't make it anymore. I purchased a hairdryer at a local beauty supply chain, thinking that it would work about as well as my dearly departed one. Wrong! It left my hair feeling very dry, in spite of the product I use on my hair prior to blowing it dry. I was going to invest in a CHI, but after reading mostly negative reviews on that model, I decided to save my money and get this Andis hair dryer. I have very thick, coarse, long hair (4 inches past my shoulders), and I'm transitioning from relaxer to natural. I have about 3-4 inches of new growth, and the rest is still relaxed, so straighter styles work for the time being. This hair dryer is EVERYTHING! Not only was it easy on the wallet, it gets my hair dry super quickly, while not sucking all of the moisture out of my hair. It takes less than 20 minutes to dry my hair, which is quicker than even my original blow dryer, and gets my roots pretty straight (I use the small tooth comb attachment). It's easy to hold and gets hot without burning my scalp. Coupled with my Sedu flat iron, my hair is almost salon quality, super soft and shiny! I would recommend this to anyone with the same hair texture as me. I am VERY pleased! Read more

I’m very happy with this hair dryer. It’s powerful but still gentle on my hair, and it dries much faster than my old one. My hair feels smoother and less frizzy after using it, and it doesn’t feel overheated or damaged. I really like the attachments because they make styling easier and more versatile, depending on what look I want. The dryer feels well made, comfortable to hold, and not too heavy. The gold color is also a nice touch. Overall, it works great for everyday use and gives salon-like results at home. I would definitely recommend it. Read more

I am a cosmetologist of just about a decade. The main reason that I purchased this dryer was its price, practicality and its brand. Andis is one of the leaders in professional clippers in the hair industry, so I figured that I would give this dryer a shot. I have fine/normal curly just to about the ears, and this dryer gets it QUITE straight.I must admit that the "high velocity" air speed is not there, however, The HEAT is REALLY intense. As a professional, if I had to compare this to a standard salon dryer, performance wise, I would say that it acts a lot like the original Chi dryers, low speed, INTENSE heat, with ionic coating to break water molecules up faster. Now, that being said, if someone wants a dryer that really BLOWS the water out of the hair, I would recommend, concerning affordability and professional performance, the Babyliss 2800, not that weighty and TRULY cuts drying time, in half, has a 3 year warranty AND Amazon sells it for half the retail price . This little Andis dryer works great for hair shorter than top of the shoulders, if you have really thick/curly or long hair, I would recommend use a T parting in your hair (draw a straight line with a wide toothed comb from the center of your eyebrows, to the back of your neck and comb each section down, from the very top of your head, draw a line from ear to ear to make a lower case 't' on your head) and do your hair in quadrants, (clipping them with butterfly clamps helps to keep other sections out of your way) 3-5 min extra prep time, but works WONDERS for straightening effectively, and saves you time in the end. This dryer does exactly what it says, it 'styles' hair, quite nicely might I add.The attachments are better than other vertical dryers that I have owned.The brush attachment is boar bristle, which allows one to naturally distribute oil through the hair, which is essential to a less frizzy and smoother blow dry. For those who have coarse, thick,tightly curled, or all of the above, use the comb attachment that best suits you, and use the brush to set and smooth it in the direction that you would like it to go, this will 'mold' your hair. Air cool the section that you are working on,The cool shot button on ANY dryer is almost useless, takes too long to cool, by the time it does, the section that you are working on is practically almost ready and is 'set'. Overall, this is a four star dryer, it comes with a FIVE year warranty, it's very hot, and it is great for people (like me) who suffer from carp-tunnel and arthritis in their hands. At under twenty dollars, this is a great deal, it is nearly impossible to find one locally at that price, especially with a professional brand backing it. Thanks again Amazon, I find SO much great stuff here! Read more

I rarely leave product reviews, but this one is definitely worth my time. I’ve had the same old blow dryer from Ross for about 7 years and figured it was time to get a new one. I received my blow dryer yesterday and decided to do my hair wash routine tonight. The package was very easy to open and the instructions were clear. My product worked as described. My natural hair is 4A (kinky), but I’ve relaxed it many times since I was 6 years old, so it usually stays straight or 2A (slightly wavy). After washing and conditioning my hair, I put in my skinny serum and heat protecting leave in conditioner. I then used the wide tooth comb attachment and fully dried my hair (took about 2-3 minutes on high). My hair felt very soft afterwards, and so much better than my old blow dryer! I have to moisturize my scalp as well, so I put Shea Moisture coconut oil on my scalp and blow dry my hair again with the fine tooth comb attachment on medium for about a minute. My hair came out nearly as straight as when I flat iron it, and feels moisturized and smooth! It’s definitely gonna save me some time (and I’m a college student so I need all the time I can get). Such an awesome purchase and I highly recommend it! Read more
