Babyliss Turbo Shine 2000 Hairdryer Review

I needed a new hairdryer. In fact I’ve needed one for sometime but for some reason I’ve been making do with a small, but okay, travel dryer.

I spotted the Babyliss Turbo Shine 2000 Hairdryer on in our local Tesco Extra store so I snapped one up as it seemed to be a bargain.

As it says on the box the BaByliss is lightweight, powerful and I’d say reasonably quiet. They call the detachable nozzle the Salon Concentrator – now I don’t know if mine is a one off but it takes some real muscle power to pull the nozzle off! I’d like a slightly longer cable too but I’m being a little picky there.

As a dryer it does what it’s supposed to do quite well. It offers ionic conditioning for a frizz-free finish and I have to say that it did my dry daughters hair well and her hair has a tendancy to frizz just a little. The ionic conditioning means the hairdryer emits negative ions that reduce the static in your hair – apparently!

There are three power settings on the slider control and a seperate push-in cool shot button too. The hairdryer also has a little plastic hanging loop – but I can’t see most people using that at home really.

Now it says in the instruction booklet that you shouldn’t wrap the power cord around the dryer when you’ve finished – do you always do that too?

Finally, BaByliss offer a three year guarantee on the dryer – which kind of suggests to me that they don’t usually go wrong.

So, where can you buy one? Try any of these:

• Tesco Direct
• Amazon (free p&p on £15 orders)
