I usually don't blow dry my hair but the SmoothWrap Dryer will be my go to when I do. I have long, thick hair and I was able to blow dry in less than 10 minutes. This is a huge plus because winters where I live can be brutal and I don't want to walk out the door with wet hair or spend a long time drying it. I still maintained volume in my hair and wasn't left feeling brittle or unhealthy. My hair is neither straight nor wavy and so using the SmoothWrap Dryer helped me achieve a look that doesn't make me want to just throw my hair up in a bun.
