Nano Titanium Travel Hair Dryer 1000 Watt Professional Blow Dryer with Concentrator Nozzle Foldable Handle Dual Voltage

Im trying to live out of my toiletry bag so all my essentials need to be compact. Between this and my comb being foldable, and a compact spray bottle, I can easily keep my essentials in one regular toiletry bag and stay organized. It’s folds and stays folded and unfolded which is great as I'm worried the folding could be a longevity issue. I only use low heat and it works perfectly for getting my hair locked in place with clay. Not too noisy either. Feels durable, cord is plenty long, and very light. All in all, if you’re looking for compact and hopefully durable, this works great. I’ll update if I have any issues later. Read more

What a great fine for vacation. I used the Dyson blower and love it! I have the BaByliss mini straightner so I tried the mini blower. I need something small and powerful to take on vacations and this is it. This little blow dryer is powerful! I have thick hair and it dries your hair quickly to prevent damage. I was so impressed at how little but powerful it is, I took it to work to show my coworkers. Read more

I searched high and low for the absolute smallest, lightest hair dryer that yet would be the most powerful travel dryer that was dual voltage for a trip to Italy. Here's the key things I found in my ridiculously extensive research: 1. Dual voltage dryers that have multiple speed/heat settings may not work on all settings once you convert to the Europe voltage. It's like a cruel trick. Here's this fabulous dryer, and it works over seas, but nothing about it's fabulousness will work over seas. Haha! This dryer promises that both of it's settings (high or low) will work. 2. There is much controversy over Ionic/non Ionic dyers. Allegedly, Ionic works fast and eliminates frizz, but possibly at the cost of volume and body. I went with this one not because I choose any side in this war of hair dryers, but because it seemed the only one that fit all my needs. Mainly that it be insanely light and tiny to justify my taking it all the way to Italy when there might be dryers in the hotels I'm staying in, anyway. 3. Many dryers call themselves light but aren't really. 4. You can spend hundreds of dollars for a dryer that is no hotter or stronger than one for less than $50. But the expensive one may last longer. (This I knew years ago when I finally got sick of buying a $35 dryer every year and bought, instead, a Super Solano and haven't had to buy one for... about a decade?) Ok, so on to the review. This thing is miniscule. I have never seen a dryer so small. It's like a toy. See the photo. And it's about half a pound or even less. I was thrilled. It's hot! Much hotter than I expected. There's no cool setting and no cool 'shot'. This is a bummer- not because I really put much stock into the whole, "sealing the cuticle" thing of the cool shot, but because after I dry my hair my head is hot and I like to cool it down. My hair is long. So after drying it's like a hot wig for a few uncomfortable minutes. I used a moroccan oil only for hair product because my hair is kind of dry right now. I live in a zero humidity environment in the desert and had AC on and blasting while I dried my hair. And it was a little dry and sort of frizzy after I dried it. So I added some Rusk Shining and went on my way. I do attribute some of this to the dryer so in the future and on the trip I will use a blow out cream instead of the oil. It wasn't a big deal but it was notable. My usual dryer is not Ionic. But is ceramic so... maybe it wasn't the dryer. So long as it does not burst into flames or break, and so long as the high setting really does work in Rome, I'd rate this dryer at 90%. Read more

Review of: BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Travel Dryer, Blue I haven't decided if I'm keeping this yet. I was hoping for it to be my daily hair dryer, but it doesn't work as well as my full size one. I was wanting a lighter weight hair dryer to alleviate my arm strain (even though I have a pixie cut and takes about 3 minutes to dry). This little dryer is very light weight & gets the job done. The cons are that it takes longer because it's smaller and the nozzle is smaller. So you have to be more precise in where you point it. A larger dryer does more surface area at once. It's a tiny dryer, so the attachment concentrator is also tiny. The concentrator also gets burning hot. I'm only using it for about 4 minutes with a pixie cut, and I can't touch it afterwards and need to leave it on my counter to cool down before putting away. If traveling, you definitely could not pack it until it's cool. The blower is very strong, but with such a tiny blower, it still takes longer to dry the hair. I have had long hair before, and there is no way I'd consider using this with longer hair. Even shoulder length hair is too long for this dryer. I think it's GREAT for traveling and being the only thing available to use. I'm not often in that situation since hotels, family and friends usually have a hair dryer you can use. Oh, it makes my hair very frizzy as well. My full size hair dryer doesn't do that. I still haven't decided if I'll keep it or not. Read more
