  • 1875 watt
  • AC Motor – delivers more powerful, fast air-flow and up to 3x longer life

  • True cold shot botton- to lock in styles


My thoughts:
As I searched through Walgreen’s selection of hair dryers I stumbled across this little beauty and immediately fell in love with it. But of course, I had to google it before making my final decision, and read all its little wonders. What attracted me at first sight was its color and design, very slik and to me looked as something a proffesional hair salon would use. Then it came to my attention two features my older hairdryer did not have: his AC motor, which promised me a fast drying result; and a removable filter, which promises to extend its life. Two things I always look for in hair products: fast results and long durability. Oh, and that it had a 25% discount!


Results:
After using it twice, I have to admit that I have found a new love in my life. It complements me in so many ways: it never complains, doesn’t make me wait and makes me feel more beautiful. And yes, I am talking about a hairdryer… I do not enjoy spending 45 minutes drying and styling my hair and having a sore arm afterwards, so I opted to always air dry my hair. I have straight, thick, dark hair. And living on a Caribbean Island, where most days are hot and humid, my hair somedays would have lots of volume and shine, others it would be very dried and a bit frizzy, and some days it would be static free and dull. Its like a pandora box, you never know what you might get. But with this it only took me about 5-10 minutes to dry it. Afterwards, my hair felt softer and smoother (even more after the 2nd and 3rd day). This product has worked really well for me and it delivered its promise of “styling easy, healthy hair, and frizz reduction”. Now I actually enjoy it. I am giving it a 5***** stars.

Pros:
  • Sleek
  • Attractive
  • Dries fast (5-8 minutes on long thick hair)
  • Gives shine
  • Diminishes static
  • Sound and looks professional


Cons: still searching

Useful for:
  • Those of you who would like to spend 8 minutes tops drying your hair (without dividing)
  • Those of you who are looking for something that looks professional and does the job for less money
  • Those of you who want shine back
  • Those of you who want do minimize the static

My thoughts:
After so much raving and ranting, and contemplating the idea of trying this out, I finally gave in. As I’ve mentioned in my last review, I have long straight thick dark hair (woooh that was a mouthful), that its mood depended much upon the weather. So living in a Caribbean Island, the Sun can get reasonably hot on its good (by good I mean breazy, less humid than normal) days and steaming hot on bad (and bad I mean completely dry and humid, can’t take a walk out at 10am) days. So for the most part we have bad days. And it’s because of this that my hair gets dry and puffy, so it pleads for hydration and care. Which for the most part of my life, I’ve neglected to properly care for it. But now I have come to my senses and purchased the kangaroo life saver. It is time to say goodbye to bad hair days!

Results:
It has a creamy consistancy which appeals to my likings. Right after my first use, I thought: “Mmhh my hair feels smoother and soft, but nothing other drugstore brands (Pantene, Garnier, VO5…) haven’t also done before (giving me a good first impression and then not having long lasting results). So I decided to give it a few more days to see how my hair would react to it. And there it was, the day after (and having used my new InfinitiPro by Conhair hairdryer), the softness of it and how much shine it had that I got hooked on it. But still, I thought it still hasn’t proved much so I’ll wait until the 2nd try. And there it was yet again soft, shinny, free from most tangles, no-more-dried hair. I am in love again. This three products combined have literaly nourished my hair and dried ends back to health in less than a week!.  This is by far the best results I’ve had with drugstore brands with only two washes.

Pros:

  •  Smells like coconut paradise (soft smell, not overpowering at all)
  • My hair continues to get even smoother and shinier with each day that passes (other brands lose it at the third)
  • Reasonable price (even better when buying the large size, simply pay around $2 more for double the size)
  • Attractive design and color of the containers
  • (As for the deep conditioner) it has a comfortable grip which you simply take in your hands and squeeze the product out, no need to lift a lid

Cons: yet to be discovered

Unless you dislike coconut smell, this shouldn’t count as one

Useful for:
  • Slightly - very damaged hair
  • Dried hair
  • Puffy hair
  • Winter time


Bonus Info on Sea Kelp Benefits:
  • Kelp is a type of seaweed
  • It contains zinc, b vitamins and magnesium
  • When you see thin hair it could be due to zinc deficiency. Zinc promotes protein synthesis, which is what hair is made of (proteins).
  • B vitamins promotes hair growth
  • Magnesium reduces hair loss and can even prevent it

I guess this explains why my hair continues looking healthier every day!
