I decided to re-post one of my FAVORITE posts ever! Many of my clients have invested and never looked back! Here is the info!
- Not enough power
- Too heavy
- I drop it once and it breaks
- Can’t reach company for warranty
- Diffuser attachment falls off
- Nozzle opening too wide
- Cord too short
- Cord coils up
- On/off switch in bad place
- Loses power after two months
- No cool shot setting
- Non-ionic
Sound familiar? I am relieved to say that finally, after over 7000 days, I have found my hero. It is a Sedu TGR 4000. It is compact, light weight, blows 80 MPH, has an ionic setting that can be turned on and off, has a cool shot setting, the diffuser would stay attached during a tornado, perfect nozzle, 8 foot uncoiling cord and a 1 year warranty. To make it even better, the company has a service agreement for after the warranty expires where you can send it to have it fixed, just like a car. A blow dryer mechanic? Genius! It has a AC(alternating current) motor which simply means as you jam your hair in between your brush and the nozzle, the air alternates direction. I do not recommend that you jam your hair between the brush and dryer ever, but I know you probably do. Most dryers have a DC(direct current) that causes the air to back into the dryer when blocked by an object such as a brush, weakening the dryer’s power over time until it burns out. Every single stylist and assistant at p!ay hair lounge, REFUSES to use any other dryer.
A couple more dryer facts: air oscillates (spins) as it comes out of a dryer. The nozzle attachment that you probably through under your sink when you buy a new dryer actually has great use to you. Attach it and it will stop the air from spinning, straightening its direction. This will help you create a smoother, shinier, less frizzy blowout. The diffuser attachment, huge dish like object, is for “diffusing” or softening the air flow to simulate air drying your hair. This is great for wavy or curly hair types to preserve texture while eliminating the frizz that occurs with high air flow.
The low heat setting + high air flow setting is sufficient enough for most hair types. If you can’t hold your hand 5 inches in front of your dryer for more than 10 seconds without it burning, your heat setting it far too hot for your hair and will scorch it. Air flow drys hair, not heat.
I prefer to mist damp hair with my favorite, Bumble & bumble styling lotion , before drying it to protect from heat and give hair a flexible, non-sticky hold.
You will also notice a weird emblem on the last switch on the handle. This is an ionic generator. You have the ability to turn the ionic charge on or off. To create more body, turn off. To dry hair faster, smoother and flatter, turn on.
I originally paid over $250 through a different distributor and still found this dryer worth the money. This dryer is currently available for $150 on Folica.com. The diffuser is a add on for $20. Folica.com is always offering special discounts such as free shipping or gifts with purchase. Right now through Feb 3rd they are giving an additional 15% off! Do yourself a favor, cut your hair drying time by at least 10 minutes and throw out your problem dryer and treat yourself and your hair to a Sedu TGR 4000.



Brig,
Thank you so much for recommending this dryer! I ordered it from folica.com and I couldn’t be happier. My previously fried ends are now smooth and healthy. It takes me way less time to dry my hair and I always get the desired style. This is truly a value!

Brig,
Can you recommend a flat iron and curling iron? I’m in the market and want to make a good, lasting choice.

Annie
We go through blow dryers like crazy. We have had a hard time finding one that lasts a long time. Usually the switch gos bad. Thanks for the recommendation.
