Thanks for trusting in my recommendations enough to inquire.
A good hair dryer is definitely the key to getting that bounce’n & behave’n look, and with hair that’s chemical free, this can be a bit challenging unless you have the proper tools. The styling tools and products will make all the difference, especially when you are maintaining your own hair. Although budget may be a concern, remember that you get as much as you pay for & why pay less if you won’t be satisfied with the performance of the product, your frustration will only lead you to make an additional purchase – translation? Spend MORE money. I have a few recommendations for you and they both can be found by clicking the Ulta banner above and selecting “Styling tools,” Then select hair dryers over $30. The first is $59.99 – It’s the Hot Tools Ionic, Ceramic with 1875 Watts (the black one.) It will leave your hair soft, manageable and straight. The reviews were great and for the price it will do the trick without singeing your hair. If you can splurge a little more, I would HIGHLY recommend the Super Solano 1875-watt PROFESSIONAL dryer, it’s $119.95, a bit price I know, but IT’S WORTH EVERY PENNY. I can’t say enough about this dryer, it has the capability of letting you produce that “just left the salon” look at home. It leaves the moisture in the hair, which is what allows it to remain soft and frizz-free. It’s a high-heat, professional dryer but it won’t burn or dry out your ends, which is what leads to split ends and constant trimming.
FYI: Remember to always protect your hair with a moisture rich, leave-in conditioning product prior to blow drying.
