Girly hairdryer recommendation please?

aliasojo

Want to buy my daughter her own hairdryer. She's 10 but is quite petite and wimpy. Quite a lot of hairdryers are pretty heavy and I think her arms and wrists would soon get tired trying to dry her hair.

So, can anyone recommend a model that is fairly lightweight but still quite powerful?

If I could get a something that looked girly that would be a bonus.

These might be a little young for her but I saw some Disney Princess and Tinkerbell ones in Tesco the other day. I didn't look closely though so don't know how powerful they are, but they were certainly small.

My dd is prob getting one for Christmas, but she's 3.5 yrs old!

My last hairdryer lasted ten years, so I'd consider that a hirdryer bought now could well take her into adulthood...shocking eh?

My white unberto gianni hairdresser with coloured attachments is girly, but not so light. OTOH, she shouldn't be encouraged to over dry her hair to damage it, and it would be ''pretty'' enough for now and still ok whne much older...or it is for me. Mine was a very special offer at boots last year, so quite cheap too.

Thanks peeps.

She's a young lady now (:rolleyes:) so too big for Disney etc, but is still only a child so sometimes it's difficult finding 'happy medium' type things iyswim.

Which is why all suggestions are gratefully received.

This one's quite cool looking: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4416377/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CHealth+and+personal+care%7C14418350/c_2/3%7C15701134%7CHair+care%7C14418399/c_3/4%7Ccat_14418399%7CHair+dryers%7C14418400.htm

I love the cord keeper on this one and it has the ionic shine thing which I really like too:

I've enjoyed looking at hairdryers as I've just spent ages trying to find a certain dolls buggy - thanks!!

Would a travel hairdryer be lightweight and powerfully enough. This would also be useful when she is older.

I bought this one instore in Tesco last year for around £9.

Lol...I quite like the pink lee stafford one in boots link above, never mind for her.

Anyone heard of Blush Cosmestics.com? Argos have a pink dryer in a bag for £20 and this site does the same thing but with a brush and some clips added too, for a tenner. Never heard of them though.

Quick update: I ended up ordering the one from Blush for a tenner and it's arrived today. Fantastically quick service and even taking into account the postage (£3.45 - 1st class recorded), it was still cheaper than Argos who were selling a similar pack for £19.99.

Daughter will love the fact it comes in it's own pink shoulder bag and it's a perfect size and weight for her. I daresay it's not on a par with some of the more expensive brands but as a first hairdryer, it's ideal....and as an extra Xmas pressie, it's ideal for my purse too, lol.
