Love my Parnell’s just purchased my 4th over the last 30 years, superb!

I bought this hairdryer in 2012. It's still going strong. I'd only ever buy another Parlux. Amazing product and great value for money.

This is by far the best hairdryer I've used. I have mix-textured Afro-Asian hair and choose to blowdry my hair after washing. I use one of those thermal roller brushes whilst blowdrying to help stretch the hair out due to shrinkage and this leaves my 4a/4b hair looking silky, smooth and somewhat straight-ish. Me and my mum use it and we both suffer from Fibromyalgia so tend to get aches in our wrists and arms, however this is quite lightweight so it a lot more ergonomical to hold. My only complaint is that it gets really hot even on the lower heat setting: at times feels like it's burning my scalp. Definitely make sure to plaster that heat protection on, because the heat that comes out of this thing will damage your hair if you're not careful. Another complaint, is that it was really confusing when we first starting using it in terms of switching it on. There isn't an on-button, instead you have to press the lower button to turn it on and off. Overall, I really appreciate having a hairdryer brand that specifically designs its products with Afro and Curly hair in mind, as it's often a rare occurrence. 100% recommend for Afro hair, worth the expensive price tag :)

Cannot do without it

Fabulous hairdryer, used by pretty much every hairdresser I've ever been to. Bought to replace my old Parlux which finally gave out after about 12 years long service in daily use! I thought I'd go for the slightly more expensive version this time for the weight reduction and I'm really happy to report that it is just as powerful as the old one, with a noticeable but not massive weight reduction. In conjunction with my ceramic barrelled round bristle brush (GHD), it leaves my shoulder length thick frizzy hair straight and silky in 10 minutes without the need for any straightening irons afterwards. At the price I think it is so worth the money, especially since I gave up the GHD straighteners years ago and they are more expensive than this, plus I don't have any breakage of my hair with this method where the straighteners were really bad for hair condition. If you're thinking of buying just do it you won't regret it. Can't recommend enough!

This is without a doubt the best hair tool I have ever had, I have had straighteners, blowing brush things, curling irons you name it, but I was never really satisfied with the results, the irons for instance flatten yes, but flatten the life out of my hair!For anyone trying to decide I think the key is what is your hair like to begin with? For instance on my daughters fine straight hair, it didn't look any different.However on mine it performs miracles! My hair is thick, there is tonnes of it, (hairdressers always comment and seem quite surprised how long it takes to dry) it's frizzy and has weird kinks all over the place, previously it always looked better the day after washing when it had calmed down a bit. This dryer basically blows it straight, but straight with some 'life'.I have not really needed to use my straighteners and it's very quick too.

Purchased for my other half, she is obsessed by having the best hair dryer and takes it everywhere she goes. As they say happy wife happy life. Just spend the little extra, it’s worth every penny.
