Olivia Garden SuperHP High Performance Professional Hair Dryer

I love this blow dryer it is the greatest of great, very lightweight and controls on it are perfect. Well worth the price. I think I will buy a 2nd in case mine ever breaks and they no longer make it.

I had bought a dryer that looked just like this but another brand and it only lasted 16.months. I loved it, but just couldn't make the almost $400 investment again for such a little amount of time. And then I came across this dryer with fantastic reviews and essentially all of the same options so I took a chance and bought it. So far, I absolutely love it! I get all of the advantages of that pricier version for less money. And, if the reviews are correct, more longevity. I've only had it about a month at this point, but I'm very hopeful. My hair is currently bleached. My natural hair is about 50% white and 50% dark brown. My natural hair is also very thin and fine. I wear a tape in extensions of real human hair. The extensions are a completely different texture than my natural hair. I find this dryer works on both my natural hair and the extensions without drying either. I use the diffuser attachment primarily. I don't use it to scrunch my hair though. I use it so that the heat is not directed at one spot. It's also very useful to dry the tapes of my extensions. This dryer is lightweight compared to most. I love the lock feature for my settings because nothing drives me crazier than my finger or thumb changing the setting while I'm trying to dry my hair. The lock setting was one of the top three reasons that I purchased this dryer.There are three heat settings and three blower settings. I am definitely happy with this purchase.

For my shoulder-length, medium, straight hair, it's just not worth the high price. While it's light and quiet up to the 2nd speed, there's just nothing special about it. Didn't dry my hair faster or with less frizz (although I don't have much). There are a lot of attachments, but for my hair type I won't use most. They take effort to put on and take off. and get very hot so you need to wait for them to cool down before removing. Someone with long, thick, and/or curly hair who spends a lot of time drying their hair might appreciate it being lightweight and all the various attachments. But for me, it's just not worth the high price tag. If it were in the $150-$200 range, I may have kept it and rated it higher. Btw, this is the 3rd time writing a 3-star review that Ulta has yet to post, which is part of why I returned it (which I never do). That is, if there were more honest/lower-rated reviews, I probably wouldn't have never purchased it.

First time purchasing a hair dryer over $50. Money well spent in my opinion. Powerful, ergonomic & works great. Dries hair quickly & has features to prevent damage

I have moderately thick hair with some body to it. I always have to straight iron to get it straight, but I was hopeful that I would be able to get more straightness out of drying with a brush and then finish with the flat iron. First, I instantly hated the motor noise this dryer makes when you turn it on. It is very high pitched and hurt my ears. I also didn't think it dried my hair any faster or blew it out any straighter than my previous blow dryer for the price. I returned this item.
