Today, I’m going to be reviewing two of the most luxurious hair dryers you can ever imagine, the Babyliss Pro Volare V1 and the Babyliss Pro Volare V2 with Ferrari engine.
If you have long thick hair, I guess the majority of the hair dryers you’ve been using wouldn’t get you that salon finish you would want.
Obviously, we’re never going to get as good as a hair dresser, but with standard hair dryers, you could never get the sleekness or the hold you’re looking for.
So, a powerful hair dryer would cut down your drying time and really lock in your style, enter Babyliss Pro Volare V1 and V2.
Hot-Rod Hair Dryer Puts Vroom in Your Room
Historic Collaboration
Did you know this?
Basically, what makes these Babyliss Pro Volare V1 and Volare V2 really special is Babyliss, the leader in professional styling and hairdressing accessories, and Ferrari, the world car elite, have fused together to bring forth an exclusively designed tool with exceptional performance specifically constructed to maximize airflow and performance.
Babyliss is the leading manufacturer of high-quality professional hair equipment with record sales in more than 100 countries, becoming the driving force behind the professional beauty industry.
So, the expertise of Babyliss Pro and Ferrari resulted in a luxurious, high-performance professional hair dryer with exceptional features to:
- Guarantee fast optimized hair drying
- Long-lasting styling effect
- Maximum airflow
- Minimal weight and reduced vibrations
Babyliss Pro Volare V1 vs V2 Review
The Babyliss Pro Volare V1 dryer with Ferrari designed engine is the full size and the V2 is smaller and slightly cheaper. They come in black and red, but if you want the full Ferrari experience, I would go for the red.
Another advantage is the weight. The Volare V1 weighs in at 1.16 lbs and the Volare V2 comes in at 1.12 lbs. So, the Volare V2 is slightly lighter than the V1, but both are very lightweight and can be taken everywhere with no worries.
They also feature a Nano Titanium-infused grill for superior heat and a Tri-port ionic generator to generate millions of negative ions to maximize hair shine and overall health.
However, both hair dryers don’t come with a diffuser and you have to buy it separately. Also, both hair dryers are on the expensive side, but, again, the great thing is that these blow dryers last so much longer than typical hair dryers.
So, you may be spending more money now, but it is worth it because you will not have to buy another hair dryer for a long time.
Powerful Long Lasting Motor
If you take the lint filter off, you can actually see that beautiful and powerful yellow Ferrari motor.
Featuring the world’s first ball-bearing blow dryer engine, the Volare 1 and 2 can reach an unrivaled and unprecedented level of performance.
This Ferrari motor can blow over 80 miles per hour and it dries hair extremely fast. It also guarantees 2000 hours of drying, contrary to conventional hair dryers that do not live beyond 600 hours.
This AC V12 motor provides reliability and ruggedness and was exclusively made for Babyliss Pro Volare ionic and nano titanium hair dryer and Rapido hair dryers.
Through intense air pressure and a turbo function, Babyliss Volare hair dryers are able to trigger an acceleration of the air for very high-speed hair drying. Yet, the fan has been designed to minimize hair tangling.
The motor does have an automatic shut off in case it overheats. You just have to keep an eye on the lint filter and keep it clean all the time.
Pleasant, comfortable, and easy to handle, the Volare’s V12 motor is noticeably quiet thanks to the ball bearing-based design.
The Volare V1 and V2 & Hair Type
- Curly hair that defies the laws of physics. A lot of women have rediscovered the joy of
