I used the Conair 1875 Watt Double Ceramic hair dryer immediately after washing my hair. I have owned an older model in the past and have had good luck with it. The Conair hair dryer is great for a simple blowout hairstyle. The hair dryer is a little heavy to hold. What would make this hair dryer better would be an ionizer. Overall, this is a decent hair dryer for the average user. I would reccomend this product to a friend.
