You probably don't know it, but you need a new blow dryer. My new hair stylist told me that, and of course I didn't beleive him, because my dryer was relatively new and worked fine. I don't just spend money for the fun of it. But he was persuasive, and he was right! He told me to buy any one that says "ionic" and "ceramic". He said they range from twenty to three hundred dollars! I bought a Conair for about thirty dollars, and I love it. It weighs much less so it's easier to direct where I want it, it dries my hair quicker, more efficiently, and leaves it shinier. Be sure to use the little attachment that directs the air flow into a smaller spot. I'm so glad I made the change.
