The best hairdryer in the world?

Iya!

I appear to be on a blog roll recently! you guys have had updates from me almost every day I'm sure! Considering my internet doesn't get connected until the 23rd July I think this is a bit of a miracle!

Recently I was given the chance to try some products by Diva Pro. These hair styling items aren't available on the high street and are designed specifically with professional use in mind. I obviously jumped at the chance and recently tried out the Beautiful Diva Pro Ultima 5000 Hair Dryer.





Holy-Moly. Not only is this hair dryer a thing of utter beauty, it performs better than any dryer I've ever tried.

As BrionyLou said on Twitter:
"I love my Diva hair dryer, it's like a reverse Dyson!"

I couldn't put it better myself :)



Boasting 2000watts, 4 heat settings, a 77km/h air speed, 3 speed settings, 'true cold' shot and ionic conditing - this is the Veyron 16.4 of the hair dryer world.

The dryer comes with the following 3 attachments:


Two air-directing-nozzles and an 'air styling wand'

I've been using the slightly wider nozzle (centre) as my hair is really thick and frizzy and its amazing! For my second Dyson-related-comment of the post, the air coming out of the nozzle feels like the air in those Dyson hand dryers in public toilets... the 'air blade' :)

not sure whats with the whole dyson-diva-thing...sorry!

Here's a before and after pic of my hair:



To some people, the image on the right wouldn't be particularly impressive but my hair is a thick, frizzy mess normally! With my old hair dryer it would take me roughly 10-12 minutes to dry my hair then 20 minutes to straighten (read:fry) it. The Ultima5000 dries my hair in 4-6 minutes (yes, I've timed it) and I don't need to straighten my hair afterwards. Sometimes I'll run my straighteners through my fringe or over the ends if its extra-scruffy that day but that's it! This is genuinely revolutionary for me, the 'after' image above is the smoothest my hair has EVER been when i've dried it at home and not had a salon blow dry ♥

I've tried around 15-18 hair dryers over a number of years ranging from £30-£250!!! (my dads ex girlfriend was/is a beautician) some high street, some 'pro' brands bought from trade wholesalers and this is hands down the best one I've ever tried. I would strongly recommend that if your current dryer just isn't quite cutting it, that you pick one of this up ASAP!

The Diva Pro Ultima 5000 is ONLY available at Sallys stores, Sally Express or on the Diva Pro website.

It retails at £79.99 which is an absolute bargain for such an incredible hair dryer and is available in rubberised black, gloss black and metallic pink.

10/10 from me!

  2. Oooh that looks lovely!
    I'm intruiged as to what the air styling wand does, I bet it looks funny on the end of the dryer ^_^

    I have a great hairdryer (parlux 3200 compact in pink, ofcourse) which has similar specs to this and it's made my life so much easier, as like yours, my hair is a thick frizzy mess if left to its own devices!


    yay for wonderful hair :)
