Hey cousins! You guys are ALWAYS asking me about my hooded dryer and for the longest you guys know I was using my really old one from BabylissPro, however, a month ago I purchased a new one and I wanted to create this video to give you guys my honest thoughts after using it + some tips for drying your natural hair!
NOTE: I know you guys are going to ask, the temperature I set it on varies, depending on how I feel that day :/

    Thank you for this review! I don’t have naturally curly hair...mine is more of a 2b situation but I haveI been thinking of investing in a hooded dryer. I dress vintage and I do a lot of wet sets (putting in rollers when my hair is still wet) in order to get those old Hollywood curls. Because my hair is so thick and I have so much of it no matter if I leave the rollers in for like 12 hours my hair will still not be completely dry when I take the rollers out, so when I go brush out the curls my hair just straightens out. What I do have is one of those dryer caps that you can attach to a blow dryer, which I hate because it’s so close to my scalp that it leaves it very very dry and my skin will peel (not cute). I like your review it was very practical and straight to the point! I think I may end up purchasing this same model, on top of everything the price seems right lol keep up the awesome vids :)

    Hey cousin! My friend has one. I was the first one to use it after helping her put it together. She did a flexi rod set on me. The angle I had to get used to but the tip you gave makes a lot of sense. The ding got me too 😂😂😂 I did not experience any heat pain at the top of my head like I normally do with my sit on the table hair dryer but I think knowing the temperature makes the difference.

    Nice review. I have a similar one and I do love it. I just love having dry hair the same day. However I do hate how much space it takes. Specially the way the legs are designed. Those 4 legs are not helpful when I want to put it behind the sofa against the wall while drying my hair. On top off that they are quite high, instead off being low on the ground. I also hate the noise. Can’t even watch tv in piece. 😂 Appart from that it’s all good. But if we do have some girls studying to become engineers, please create something that we can store away and fit our ( not mine) big heads. Thanks for the wet towel tip. I really need that. 🌻🌻🌻

    Hi Cousin I have that same dryer, from amazon as well. I like it. I don't have as much hair as you but remember when your hair is wet and has product on it, it's not stretched yet etc your hair should fit under. My experience is it dries nice and even, gets hot but lawddddddd the timer I can do with out. But for the price point and the effectiveness I like it.

    The only reason that the dryer has a bell alert is purely when you are in a. salon so that you know that your patrons time under the hood is lapsed this dryer even though it is relatively inexpsive is normally used in a beauty salon environment, not normally in a home environment, needless to say I also have a similar dryer at home myself, and personally now that Iam used the bell at the end of the drying time I can not fault the dryer for its cost, it is a very good entry level salon dryer, naturally the more you pay the more upmarket dryer you get.

    Oh ok! Yeah, that’s pretty much the exact same blow dryer I had previously only mine was from Babyliss Pro. The only thing I didn’t like about that one was the sound (like you said it’s loud and I like to sit under the dryer at night while I edit) and I had like “set” heating options (I think mine only had 3 tho). I can do without the timer on mine, but I really enjoy being able to easily make it super hot or cool without having the blow dryer get louder on me because I turned the setting up lol That’s a good option tho if people need more head space! 👌🏾❤️
