*****************************************************************
OK I was a skeptic. How much can a blow dryer affect your hair? Apparently a lot. My daughter in law brought one of these to my home while on a visit. She and my son urged me to try it. I have almost shoulder length straight, fine hair. I used the same hair products, same brushes and all I can say is wow. My hair responded. It looked fuller, fluffier and curled they way a wanted. I immediately ordered my own. May seem expensive but when you consistently have good hair days it is worth every cent.



The reason I have to give it only 3 stars instead of 5 is because the enamel on the handle has started cracking/shrinking (it looks like when you melt those plastic sleeves around an Easter egg). This actually started about a year ago, and since it didn't really affect anything, I thought, "Meh, it's fine." The handle isn't hot or anything, just fading/cracking. Just recently, the enamel has also started falling off, which revealed the red paint layer underneath. This shouldn't be a big deal, but with the heat of the dryer, the paint is literally melting off, and each time I dry my hair the palm of my hand gets covered in red paint! It washes right off with soap and water, but this isn't normal, also I have to make sure I don't accidentally touch my hair (or anything else) with that hand.
Anyhow, for a professional dryer that presumably would be used for hours a day at a hair salon, I'm surprised this happened when I only use it for 7 minutes a day. Again, it's been 3 years, and there's nothing else wrong, it functions fine, but I now need to replace it because I can't deal with a bloody-looking hand every morning. I'll be replacing it with a $20 hair dryer so I won't be upset if I need to replace the next one after a couple years.




Last year, after moving once more (fom a 220V country to the USA) I never actually bought a new hair-dryer and was just using my tiny travel dryer (where you can switch the Volts) for around 8 months. I noticed how much worse my hair was getting. It was frizzy, it broke easily, it split deeply (not just at the end) and of course it took forever and a half to dry my hair with that tiny travel dryer. Whilst it had been cheap and perfect for travelling, I realized it's not the greatest choice to use regularly.
Hence, I decided to actually invest some time into buying a new hair dryer. After researching it seemed that there is not such a big difference between middle-priced dryers and expensive dryers but a big quality difference between cheap dryers and middle-priced dryers. And since I would just be using this dryer at home, it doesn't need to perform at saloon conditions (my hair stylists all said they would not trust BaByliss at their saloons, because they wouldn't be able to 'take the heat' ;) ). That's why I went for this BaByliss in the medium price range (I have the BaByliss Big Hair Brush and a Waver and had great experiences with them). I was also interested in the Tourmaline that's supposed to emit even more negative ions.
~~~THE PROS~~~
- It's WARM, but not too hot, meaning that the risk of heat damage is decreased (I use the hottest setting for most of the process, the Cold hot shot button for the end to allow my hair to cool and my styling to settle). More importantly:
- It's FAST-DRYING. I have seen that some reviewers complained about this dryer not being 'hot enough' but I think it is warm enough. Besides, it's not about how hot it is, but how evenly it distributes the air and how evenly it heats in general. And this really dries my hair well. It used to take 20-30 minutes to dry my hair, with the BaByliss Pro I am done in 8-12 minutes! Although I stop in between to put styling products into my hair. (And as mentioned above, my hair goes down to my hip, so 8-12 minutes is amazing!)
- It has a strong, steady air flow. I use the black nozzle that comes with it (and I've never had the problem of it falling off like other reviewers have said) and it just directs a steady air flow so evenly at exactly where I want it to blow. The air pressure is just perfect.
- It's LIGHT. Although I don't actually have to hold it for all that long, I do appreciate it if my appliances don't weigh too much.
~~~THE CONS~~~
- The BUTTONS. Other reviewers have already said it. The buttons on the handle were a tragic design choice. I feel myself not really gripping the handle of it, because I'm always afraid I will accidentally push another button. I have accidentally switched it off a few times or changed the heater settings from hot to warm or cold. This can be a bit annoying, especially since I often switch hands because I use a round bristle brush to pre-style my hair while blow-drying.
- The CABLE/ADAPTER. I don't know if it's the cable or the adapter or some circuit error, but I know some reviewers have stated that their BaByliss stopped working after a short period of time. I have had some troubles switching it on myself. Since even my cheap, tiny travel hair dryer has had no problems with the electrical sockets it must be this hair dryer. I ALWAYS perform the suggested 'Reset' and 'Test'-routine that you should do before usage and it always tests positively. Still, sometimes my dryer just won't switch on. I just unplug it, try to straighten the cord, plug it back in, hit Rest and Test again. Sometimes I have to do this 2-3 times and so far, it hasn't stopped working entirely. (I've only had it since November 2013 however and now it's January 2014).
~~~THE MENTIONABLE:~~~
(Things that don't bother me, but you'd maybe like to know about).
- The SIZE. While not being as chunky as some of my past hair dryers, it's also not that small, either. I am fine with it, since I don't plan to travel with this dryer (I just need every inch of my luggage so I always only pack my travel dryer that folds together).
- The NOISE level. While I don't find it excessively loud, it's not exactly what I would call quiet either. But then again, I am a bit sensitive when it comes to noise and am quickly leaning towards the 'it's too loud'-party. So I am not bothered by the noise, but I didn't use it and immediately think 'Wow, this is exceptionally quiet', because it's fairly normal.
~~~THE CONCLUSION~~~
I love the results.
It dries my hair quickly (which is VERY important to me), it doesn't seem to excessively damage my hair (of course you should know using any hair dryer is not the healthiest choice for your hair), meaning my hair looks shiny and healthy (no split ends!) and it provides me with exactly what I need for a price of 50 USDs, which I find reasonable.
I acknowledge that there are a few flaws and some room for improvement, but I am just so happy with the job it does that I don't care that I sometimes accidentally switch it off or that I can't firmly grip it around the middle of the handle. Whether this is what you need or if the flaws are something you can compromise on is based on your personal preference.

The biggest problem, however, was the narrow air flow nozzle. It comes off all the time--like several times during one use. I kept using it thinking I'll tape it, which I did. I used aluminum tape designed to adhere to hot surfaces (like flue pipes). It still came off, just not as often. I can't believe I put up with it for so long, probably because I only used it once a week.
It isn't cheap; so I think much less of the company overall for their unresolved quality issues. Revlons and Conairs that I used previously for $23-30 were a joy to use compared to this. Really, avoiding frustration is worth something, but I kept thinking I could fix it and live with it. Bad choice.

Before I purchased this dryer I had a big silver conair dryer that put out a lot of air. The Babyliss TT is definitely better. I didnβt notice a significantly shorter drying time with this dryer, but my hair is definitely smoother. I have thick, fizzy hair with a lot of wave/curl, so I still need to straighten after drying (itβs not magical, sadly) but the Babyliss TT definitely helped me cut back on styling time.
(Sidenote: I use the blue babyliss titanium straightener. Iβve had it for 8.5 years old and it still works perfectly despite being dropped onto our ceramic tile floor more times than I can count, so Iβm a huge fan.)
As far as the other reviews on peeling paint: I did notice that the paint on the handle started rubbing off slightly after awhile, but it wasnβt nearly as noticeable as some of the pictures here. My handle was a subtly lighter red than the rest of the dryer, and I never noticed paint in the bathroom or on my hands. I wonder if high humidity and/or hair product use could contribute to the peeling issue? The finish on this dryer isnβt glazed, so I can imagine that if sprayed with hair products (or held in hands covered in product) it would be more prone to rubbing off. Maybe?
Anyway... overall, I like the dryer. Itβs slightly on the heavy side and I wish it had a glazed finish, but my biggest issue is that itβs now $30 more expensive on Amazon than it was when I purchased it two years ago (and I had looked at it multiple times before buying, and at least once it had gone on sale for $15 less than the price I ended up paying).
I came here to repurchase this dryer, but I think Iβll try to shop around for a better price or look something else thatβs slightly more affordable. Iβll probably leave this in my cart to see if it goes on sale. If it does, Iβll snag it so I have a backup for when the next dryer inevitably dies.
