Not cut, but dried.
Right before we moved, I kept noticing a familiar burning smell coming from my hairdryer. Yep, my hairdryer was about to die. This is not the first hairdryer that I have burned out either. In fact, I have had TWO spark out in my hands. (Unlike some people who can keep hairdryers until they are relics…)
My thick, wavy hair does not dry quickly, unless I give it hot, fast heat.
I have had more hairdryers over the years than I can count (on one hand at least), but they have all had one thing in common. They were cheap. See, I was under the impression that a cheap hairdryer was just as good as an expensive hairdryer, so I used to get inexpensive ones. My only requirement was that it be 1875 watts and have a concentrator nozzel. (Ironically, I DID shell out the big bucks for a Chi Iron….which I feel was WELL worth my money.)
So I continued to buy cheapies until this month.
After talking to my old hairdresser, she advised me to just head to the local beauty supply company for a moderately priced hairdryer. So I fought the urge to run to Target and get another cheapie.
This is the one I got.
Yes, I paid the price that I would usually pay for 2 or 3 hairdryers, but I am hoping that this one will outlive every other hairdryer that I have ever owned. I’m hopeful. It works VERY well. In fact, I didn’t know that a hairdryer was supposed to produce such good results.
Actually, I was considering getting a new haircut…until I got the new hairdryer. It has given me such great results that I haven’t even used my Chi Iron since I got the dryer. And I’m no longer considering a haircut, unless I wake up tomorrow having decided that I want short hair. If this one blows up on me…I guess I’ll have to go all out and get the dryer that I really wanted.

It does ring true that you get what you pay for! At least with most things.
Crisanne’s last blog post..Brrrr
I’ve had my hairdryer for at least 10 years. Maybe 12 or 13, I can’t remember. Of course, I’ve only used it 5 or 6 times in that amount of time.

I’m like Karen - I’ve had the same hairdryer for a good 10-15 years. I can’t remember the last time it actually got used though.
