I don't use a hair dryer normally as they tend to turn my hair into a bushy unmanageable mess but I suspect that is more to do with the fact I have no idea what I am doing than the hairdryers themselves. Now I am getting addicted to straightening though I am thinking I would like to give hair drying another go. Would be nice to be able to get my hair looking nice straight after I've washed it and not have sit around looking like a drowned rat while I wait for it to dry.

My sister got this Remington Shine Therapy dryer for Christmas and is thrilled with it. It seems to be a dryer that you put conditioning cartridges in that make your hair feel all soft and shiny. The reviews for it are all glowing - people seem really surprised at what a difference it makes. The dryer comes with 2 cartridges - each cartridge should be good for 40 dries. The cartridges are available from Amazon for £5.86 for 2 at the moment although there is a 3 - 5 week wait so if it comes to be something you really depend on then you had better make sure you have a good stock of the cartridges in.

I am going to have a try of my sisters before I campaign for one of these but my other sister tried it a couple of days ago and has now gone ahead and ordered her own so I am hopeful that I will be gushing about it too soon. It's £29 on amazon at the moment, reduced from £49.99 so a good time to buy.
