[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's definitely a difference, and you do get what you pay for.  [b]The cheaper dryers destroy your hair.  [/b]

HOW?   :shock: [/quote]

I'm curious as well. Any dryer is just a heating element and a fan, what does a cheap one do that destroys you hair vs an expensive one? [/quote]

I’m sure there’s no shortage of hooey about ionization that could be relayed, but I do think the expensive ones work better.  [b]Their heat settings seam more reliable, not just scorching/cold.  They’re better about directing air and preventing hair from being sucked in.  IME, they do work quickly and induce less frizz, but perhaps that’s imagined.[/b]  The one I have is GHD, not their top of the line, but cost something like $100. We were replacing a $30 drug store model, and have been pleased with the performance in comparison. I use it with a paddle brush.[/quote]
I would LOVE to see a study on this.  In my opinion there are only a few variables in hair dryers: 1) Temperature, 2) Air Velocity, 3) Flow (i.e. laminar vs. turbulent).  I suspect that better hair dryers have more accurate temperature and air velocity settings as well as air flow that tends to be more laminar (flows predictably in one direction).  The last one I bet is really key for what people claim gives them less frizz.  All the stuff about ions/ ceramic / tourmaline... is generally hogwash unless they contribute in some way to the control of the 3 major variables.  [/quote]
