So I finally did it and gave in to the Harry Josh blow dryer. I've been saving up money here and there for it, but recently got a coupon that helped me a bit to make my savings enough. I got a chance to experiment with it this past weekend and I'm sure I'm not able to really use it to its fullest potential because I am not a hair dresser. I 100% probably am the most lazy person with my hair at times and so the thought of even owning this mini machine of magic is probably overkill, but bare with me.
This is the kit it came with then I ordered the blow dryer from DermStore.
Since I got it at DermStore I got a few free extras with my order. The detangling brush, styling comb, and hair clips would usually come separate. The only things that usually come with the hair dryer is the narrow and wide nozzles and of course the hair dryer itself.
Before I used it for the first time I watched a video of Harry Josh using the Pro Tool on a hair model. I copied the way he blasted air to the roots with the wide nozzle to achieve more volume, but let face it I don't really have a hard time in that department anyway, and then continued as normal with the rest of my hair using the narrow nozzle and ION setting. One stipulation I will put out there, I DID NOT use the cold button to set my hair. I'm sure in other hair styles it is a must do, but for what I was trying to accomplish I didn't really need it.
The end result was fantastic and lasted for about all day. My hair even stayed silky smooth for the next day and a half, which for me is unheard of! I really like that it was very quick and easy to use. I think I dried my hair and styled it in about fifteen minutes. I'm sure that is all due to the power of this machine. On its low setting it is still more powerful than any of my old hair dryers on their highest setting. The heat settings are either low or high and I usually only ever dry my hair on low so I'm not sure what the temperature is like on high, yet.
I would say my go to hair style when getting a blow dry is bouncy straight! I like a smooth finish but I love volume and my ends to be curled in slightly. To get that look I used a large round brush with the Harry Josh Pro Tool and I couldn't have been happier with the result. Usually I have to blow dry my hair and then go through it with a straightening iron. For me that is a lot of heat in one session for my hair so to be able to cut that in half is awesome!
I 100% give this product two thumbs up and I'm sure if I had the capabilities of a professional stylist I would be able to do SO MUCH more with this tool.
My only caution would be to weigh the pros of this amazing tool with the price. I know myself and when I want something I have to have it, but it is a very expensive item. I used a coupon as a first time buyer that saved me $40 and if it is still available definitely urge you to take advantage of it as well.
If anyone else has this tool let me know what you think of it and how it works for you in the comments below. For those of you who have already talked yourself into getting it I say ENJOY!
