Having the best hair tools can make your look. Having the worst hair dryers and irons can break it. So, check out this article syndicated from Total Beauty to see what readers think are the best of the best when it comes to the best hair dryers, curling irons, and flat irons. The article also covers a couple of brushes and combs.

I noted that they highly recommend a T3 hair dryer and a Sedu flat iron, both of which I agree with. I particularly love my Sedu Revolution iron (link is to previous review).

h2pro Nano Ultra Light Hair Dryer

June 10, 2009 By Carleenp Leave a Comment

Looking for a new hair dryer? Want light weight? The h2pro Nano Ultra Light Hair Dryer is a great choice. I have been happily using this dryer for some time now, and not only does it quickly and effectively dry the hair, it has a few impressive additional features. First off, here are the basic specifications from the company:

12.65 ounces

Weighs 25% less with a motor 30% more powerful than other professional hair dryers

Reduce drying time by 50%

Ceramic tourmaline seals in moisture

Incorporates H2pro's advanced Nano High-Tech Technology with Nano Ti + Nano TiO + Nano Ag

Leaves your hair healthier, shiner, and more vibrant, while removing bacteria and pollutants.

2 speeds and 3 heat settings

Utilize the dryer's cool shot button to set styles or create an extra boost with the turbo button for unsurpassed drying capabilities

Diffuser and concentrator are included

The dryer does indeed dry hair quickly and is very light weight. What I particularly liked was a concentrator that stays put, even when you smack it hard with a brush. You wouldn’t believe the number of high end dryers I have tried that fail in this respect. So right there, I became a big fan of the h2pro dryer! The dryer also has a turbo button to up the air movement that you do not have to hold in. Simply press it to activate and press again to deactivate. The cool shot button works the same way. It is nice to be able to activate the cool air without having to hold in a button.

This is a professional quality dryer, meaning that on the hot setting, especially if the turbo button is used, it puts out some serious heat. Keep that in mind if you buy one. The medium heat is generally sufficient with this one if you are going to hold the nozzle very close to your hair.

The h2pro is available in pink and in black. At $160, this is a higher end. It is also worth the cost.

Free Your Hands For Hair Drying With Blo & Go

August 7, 2008 By Carleenp 4 Comments

The Blo & Go hair dryer holder is one of those “as seen on TV” products that looks pretty cool, but many will wonder if it really works. Well, this one generally does!

The premise of the Blo & Go is that you can attach your dryer to it for hands free hair drying—a great thing if you like to do blow outs. Personally, I never could do a decent one on myself. The sides would turn out lovely, but doing the back was next to impossible. So I would end up with rather schizophrenic looking hair. Well, with a bit of experimenting, the Blo & Go fixed that.

The Blo & Go attaches to any stable, smooth surface, such as a mirror, counter, or tile (it is not appropriate for painted or wallpapered surfaces). The user then attaches their hair dryer and can stand under it to have both hands free for styling. I found that it worked fairly well, although learning how to maneuver under it in order to get the angle right takes a bit of practice. Regardless, I ended up with a pretty good home blow out using it.

The Blo & Go attaches with a strong suction cup and I noted no issues with slippage. It definitely stays in place. The dryer sits easily in the frame and is held in place by a bungee cord. A few things to note though. First, this works best if you have a surface to attach it to that you can stand right next to or under. But I made do by attaching it to the mirror behind the sink. It had enough reach from there to be usable. Also, my dryer is rather large, and the bungee cord would not stretch over it. I was still able to effectively use it, but a bit longer cord would be nice.

At $29.99, it is a pretty affordable device. If you regularly do blow outs, you may find it of interest.
