After using the Conair SmoothWrap dryer I felt my hair was shinier. It was super quick to dry my whole head. As I have naturally straight hair I liked the volume this dryer gave my hair as well at the cute little flip I was able to get on my ends. This biggest difference i noticed was the speed that I was able to dry my hair and at a lower setting. I cant wait to try this dryer with the curl diffuser on one of my friends with curls
