Does type/brand of hair dryer make a difference?

I  have a T3 and love it.  It has the concentrator, 2 speeds, and cool shot.

I got my Sedu flatiron (now DD's) from folica.com. It's a very good etailer and Sedu is an amazing flatiron.

I just ordered the Blue Ice T Hair Dryer from Ulta.  Rave reviews, travels, great for thick hair, cuts drying time down by 40% and significantly reduces frizz.  It was $75, free shipping.  I will keep you all posted.

I washed and dried my hair this morning with the Blue Ice T Hair Dryer.  It was as good as the reviews!  Dried my hair in 4 sections instead of seven.  Took about half the time.  Completely frizz free and shiny.  Stopped into my office.  Everyone thought I got my haircut.  Excellent light weight dryer that did not make me feel like I was scorching my hair.  It's a winner!

Black Friday sales finally got me to spring for a new dryer, and I decided on the BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium Portofino (who makes up these names?  This sounds like a cross between a nuclear reactor and an Italian vacation.)  Mostly because it came with a 4 year warranty, it is made in Italy (!!) and pro quality, good reviews, $25 off from folica.com.  And my hair stylist uses this one, so I figure it will last decades at the rate I use it.

I can't believe what a difference a good dryer makes.  I am uncoordinated and impatient when it comes to dividing and blowing, but I still managed to get my hair smooth and shiny instead of frizzy in record time.  It really does dry faster. I keep touching my hair, it feels so good.

Hilare!!!

the BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium Portofino ... This sounds like a cross between a nuclear reactor and an Italian vacation ...

And now I think I need a new hair dryer just from reading all of this.

By the way, my hair dresser had me get a very hot flatiron.  She said (and I use a hair protector product) the hotter it is the better as you don't go over your hair so much for the results.  I'm wondering if the same holds true for a hair dryer.

Also, a dear friend gave me her Sedu flatiron and it's THE BOMB.

I don't flat iron my hair often, but when I do, my hair is as shiny as a mirror.

I think that is true.  With a good hot iron, you might get away with one pass, and you probably never need more than two passes.  My hair stylist also said that the heat flattens/ seals the hair cuticle.  That's why flatironing leaves hair so shiny. She also said that a hot hairdryer does the same thing, it seals the cuticle.
