awkward layout of buttons for the way I use hair dryers
[[VIDEOID:3c7f3f1d5fde35bb98555c8703900a2c]] This is a beautifully designed hair dryer. The layout of the buttons are a little different from your usual hair dryers. For speed and heat, you can adjust it on the back of the "head" portion. For on/off and a shot of cool air, it will be where the handle is. The way I dry my hair is I go back and forth with both the heat and speed depending on how dry my hair is getting, so if I'm using the dryer I would have to briefly stop, bring it down to my eye level view, press the buttons, and continue. Although this does a great job of drying my hair, it just isn't as smooth for me in that sense. My fingers can't reach those buttons when I'm holding on to the handle.<br /><br />I also found the sound to be quite loud. I'm not saying it is any louder than other hair dyers but probably about the same. It says 60 decibel and I don't know what my other hair dryers are on the noise level but it doesn't feel like it is any less loud.<br /><br />I really like the magnetic nozzles that just snap onto the head. You can also turn it around if you want the wind to go a certain direction on your hair. I like the variety of nozzles they provided, which you usually don't get with other cheaper hair dryers.<br /><br />What makes this hair dyer special is the negative ions/lava nutrients but I didn't notice much, if any, difference on my hair. I have long hair, quite dry and sometimes frizzy from damage of hair dyes, so I don't think any special technology will do much to fit it. If you have good condition hair, perhaps you'll get a more noticeable difference. Mine is too tangled up on a daily basis to notice.<br /><br />Make sure to remove all the sticker that was protecting the machine prior to use. There was one I forgot to take off, which seemed to be blocking the air so the machine was making an extra loud muffled noise. Make sure to check the entire machine to ensure you removed the packaging, which can be dangerous especially when the machine/wind starts getting hot.<br /><br />Overall this is a beautiful hair dryer with a cool, modern design. I do like it but it isn't the hands down favorite one for me. If you don't mind about the layout of the buttons perhaps this will be an excellent choice for you.
