Hair dryer

So as you can guess I need a hair dryer. 

I hage looked at the Dyson hair dryers but it is alot of money. My cousin reccomend the shark iq hair dryer and I seen its 179 with two accessories. I have also seen it on QVC for 199 and you can split payments over 4 easy payments and you two extra accessories which can come to 70 quid if I bought the extra accessories and the hair dryer alone. 

I am still debating to get one as I know this alot for a hair dryer. 

Can anyone tell me their thoughts on these.

Thank you

    Why do you want such expensive hairdryers?   Why get yourself into debt to buyer a hairdryer?

    Go to TKMaxx they have good prices on many brands of hairdryers.

    Surely all hair dryers just pump out hot air so why would you need one so expensive?  Me personally, I would buy a cheap one but my hair dries with a few head shakes.

    I've had expensive hairdryers in the past but cheaper ones work just as well. I have a Remington at the moment and gave my old Revlon one away. I hear that it's still working well after ten years. 

    Just because something is very expensive doesn't mean that it's superior. I'd have a look at Argos or even Amazon, you might get a good deal. Even if you don't get any deal you'll be able to get something decent, at a very reasonable price.

    *They do, and they also pump out cool and even cold air. I tried drying my hair with a few head shakes but it's so darn thick it takes hours to dry. Not that I'm boasting or anything you understand  . . . .     :)

    I have very fine hair so when I wash it I wrap it in a towel and leave it for an hour or so (oh the joys of being retired, I have time to do that :).  It’s nearly dry when I take the towel off so a bit of styling goo and it takes about 30 seconds to dry.

    I asked the hairdresser recently what she thought of the Dyson hairdryers and she said they are brilliant and they are not just a copy of every other one.  Whether they are worth the extra money is a personal thing.

    I have fine hair - but lots off it so it does take an age to properly dry

    For me its all about weight, a nozzle and a cool blast setting and as light as possible

    My go to has been for the last two replacement the Boots own brand
