Lightweight hair dryer

[eandj]

Anybody have suggestions for a lightweight hair dryer? The ones I face in hotels and ships just make me carry my own. But it's so heavy due to the power and setting variety. Any kind out there that is lighter than normal, but is strong enough to dry and style your hair in a reasonable time?

Conair Ceramic folding dryer I found at Target. It's very powerful (1875 watts) and has several settings & is not heavy at all. Less than $20, good luck!

That's the one I also have and I'm pleased with it. :) I think it was $16 at Walmart.

I got a babliss in May, and love it. It's Ionic and super light weight. You'll probably have to go where you can buy professional hair products, or have your stylist try for you. Or check online. $20.

I use a Babyliss at home but bought the folding Conair ceramic at WalMart for my cruise. I was very pleased with it. It's not my good hair dryer..but it certainly did the job alot quicker than the terrible ones I find in hotels.

Thanks for the two ideas. I'll try finding the Conair and take it for a "test drive." I like the folding idea.

Ask your hair stylist, there are professional hair dryers that come in travel sizes. They may cost a little more than the Target kind, but the one I have I even use it at home sometimes, it's just as powerful as my regular one.

 

Give them a little time, many hairstylists go to the supply store once a week, or bi-weekly.

I actually have a very small, folding one that I bought at a travel store, it's the size of an eye glass case, folds flat, and has 1200 watts.

I also have a Babyliss that I traviel with. It looks like a teeny tiny regular hair dryer, I got it at my salon for $20. I'ts very powerful, dries my short bob in just a few minutes. I have a travel flat iron made by them also. It was $20 and is, again, a teeny tiny one that looks like a shrunken down regular size one. You can goole babyliss and find sites that sell these, or check with local salons.

Just a tip with those travel hairdryers....

 

If you have really long hair, I would recommend looking for a smaller regular hairdryer for traveling instead of the teeny tiny travel ones. My hair is really long and in my experience, when using the teeny tiny travel hairdryers, the opposite side of the hairdryer will suck in my hair and burn it, not to mention it hurts pulling it out of the hairdryer. Be careful not to get the opposite side of the hairdryer too close to your hair!! OUCH! :D

Are the hairdryers in the drawers strong enough for medium length hair?

Thanks and Cheers!

The hair dryers get hot enough--that's not the problem--it's that they don't BLOW hard enough! My regular hairdryer doesn't weigh much--I just stuff the "nose" of it into one of my hubby's shoes, to take up less space!
