Anyone have this blowdryer? Is it worth $200? (Or is the Featherweight Luxe with a diffuser worth $250) I'm in the market for a new hair dryer and I don't mind splurging, money isn't really an issue but I am worried about quality, temperature & strength of the air flow and the weight of the dryer. I'd prefer one that is lightweight and that has a diffuser attachment so I can dry my naturally long & curly hair without it getting too frizzy, and also one that I can control the temperature and/or airflow strength on.

Any suggestions?

I was actually revamping my hair tools recently, and the T3 was my main choice until I found reviews for the Sedu Revolution: http://www.folica.com/tools/hair-dryers/sedu-revolution-pro-tourmaline-ionic-tgr-4000i-hair-dryer

It's a bit cheaper, and Folica.com ALWAYS has a coupon code of some sort. I read a lot of the reviews on Sephora, and there were many unhappy customers with the same issue of it either giving out or not delivering in performance. I got the Sedu instead, and I am VERY happy with it! =)

Before, when I used my old 1800 watt Vidal Sassoon dryer, my hair would frizz up and pouf like a lion's... then I would have to flat iron it to look presentable again... now, I just blow-dry when I get out of the shower, and I walk into work with people thinking I took the time to do something to my hair. When they ask, I just reply, "Nope, just a typical shower and blow-dry before running out the door to get to work on time!"  =)

Awesome, I will check out the Sedu. Do you know if it has a diffuser attachment available? That's key for me too.

Oh, Soma, do you have a flat iron you love too? I just ordered a CHI from Ulta but I'm more than willing to return it if you have a better suggestion. Thanks. :)

I use the GHD - they do the same, except the CHI can snag your hair and mine left a weird burnt smell on my hair.

As for the Sedu, I think the T3 diffusers fit the barrel of the blow dryer. They usually come in a standard size, and I know T3 attachments fit many others. Check the diffuser's review on makeupalley.com - I know I read it there.  =)

Thanks! I'll see how I like the CHI and if it makes my hair smell like that it's an instant-return. How gross to have burnt hair!

Yeah... Idk - it might have been the particular CHI I had that did it, but it was fairly new. I've also heard lots of good things of the Sedu straight iron as well... which I'll probably try if my GHD ever decides to give out.
