And if so, does it work like it`s claimed to work? I`ve heard that they dry hair in 50% less time and are less drying and damaging to the hair. I was thinking of buying one, but I don`t want to if they don`t work. Thanks in advance! |

I LOVE mine. I have one that was produced from Create ION, but I purchased it from Bio Ionic. Probablly the only product I`ll ever own from Rodeo Drive in CA. ;) It`s wonderful. I`ve had it for close to 2 yrs now. It was a bit $$, but well worth it. The only concern I had was the heat it produced, but in the 2 years it has yet to damage my hair. It`s wonderful, and when/if it breaks I`ll definately get another. ------------- |

Great timing - I just bought one yesterday at Sally`s on sale for $24.99. I swear I can see a noticable difference in the shine of my hair after drying it with the ion dryer. The hair seems silkier. I made the investment as part of my ongoing committment to grow out this short haircut with minimal damage. Go for it! ------------- |

| I have owned an ionic hair dryer for probably the last year. I have long, naturally curly hair that I always blow dry and then straighten with a flat iron. Switching to an ionic blow dryer has done wonders with split ends! I usually let my hair air dry until I am ready to blow dry, so it doesn't take any longer than my normal previous dryer. It has 3 heat settings and 3 blowing settings...so the heat is never an issue. Infact, I have always left it on "Medium" heat, and have never put it on "hot" heat setting. I will definitely buy another when something happens to this one! |

I tried a Revlon ionic dryer and prompty returned it after one use. It was not only VERY heavy, it took almost twice as long for me to dry/straighten my hair. This was no doubt due to the fact that it generated very little heat--great for hair but not so great for a tight schedule. However I'm glad to see other people have had some success with other brand--I would just stay away from Revlon. ------------- Look for beauty, and you will find no intelligence.

Yes yes yes!! They're amazing! I have thick, wavy waist length hair that used to take 30 minutes to blowdry, but since I got an ionic dryer it takes 15 minutes, tops. It's a lot shinier and healthier looking too.

| Yes, I own a Hai ionic tourmaline dryer. The thing is amazing. Not only does it dry my hair 60% faster, but it does it with no frizz. My hair feels super soft and it is super shiny. I used to think all hair dryers were the same, but I was wrong. |
