Reviewers
A reviewer said her LONGER POROUS HAIR used to take 90 minutes with other regular chair dryers. Now With the Pibbs Quick Dry it’s down to 45 MINUTES TOP!!!
Another reviewer confirmed the Pibbs is definitely a great hair dryer for deep conditioning (medium heat is enough)
What other reviewers say about the Pibbs
It helps avoid heat damage caused by blow drying and flat ironing. As many state, their hair is no longer capable of enduring excess heat and stress caused by blow dryers and instead found comfort in air drying. But the Pibbs has helped them enjoy drying their hair once again.
Dries the hair evenly and does not fry or leave it brittle. This is another point of strength. Regular handheld hair dryers focus the heat on one spot at a time making the drying time longer, whereas table top dryers or low quality stand up models blow the air downward, and this deprives some parts of the hair from hot air. The Pibbs circulates the air within the bonnet making it reach and dry every part of the hair evenly. This dries the hair quickly and helps keep it healthy.
Hair is left beautiful, healthy, shiny, silky soft, frizz-free and full of volume and bounce.
Helps get great, nice and shiny roller sets.
It cuts the drying time in half (literally). What this means is:
