I know I paid way too much for a hairdryer but I am happy with this product despite its steep price and not providing a miracle. I had been using a regular hair dryer with the Devafuser, and the diffuser would get ridiculously hot, but I loved how the diffuser made my curls look. If your looking for a hair dryer with a lot of heat this is not the one for you. I would recommend trying the Devafuser, which can be purchased separately first so you know if this is for you. My curls and hair look healthier, which was my goal. DevaCurl Low-Poo Cleanser (12.0 oz)DevaCurl One Condition (12.0 oz)

OK I finally went out on a limb and got this mostly due to a video of someone with pretty straight hair using it on a shorter cut and it was great. I figured even if I cut my hair short again someday this would still work fine.It comes with The Hand and a concentrator (I have never figure out how to use a concentrator, but its there if you need it!). The cord is LONG, like 9 ft. It's a solid round heavy duty cord and not like the lamp cords on your regular blowdryer. High low force settings and High low heat settings and a cool shot button.
First The Hand. I'm actually finding it is great at getting in and getting root volume. Use it like you do in Pixie Diffusing, don't move it! And let it do its job. Leave it a minute or two. Move that all around your scalp (OFF in between and STAYING STILL while on, also put the "finger tips" on the scalp and angle the palm up an inch or two) for those sections that just won't dry otherwise. Don't forget the nape and back!
Also, I like that I can switch it out for my bowl diffuser (Revlon tourmaline bowl one) for the rest of my hair and then go back to The Hand and use single fingers in the top, lifting for more volume. like you would use a pinky to lift a section, but this pinky blows lightly. It works pretty slick. Also, if you hold it over your hair and slightly away, and DON"T MOVE IT AROUND you'll get a decent "hood dryer" effect. I actually like that effect with my bowl diffuser on it better, but The Hand is pretty good. You can also insert it under big sections with the "palm" of the hand outward (holding STILL) and get lift AND some extra length drying. I do that at the end though when it is like 70 or so percent dry.
Now the dryer itself. Love it. It's small. I can hold it any which way. The body does NOT get hot. The attachment does NOT get hot. I can change the direction of the diffuser and not worry about singeing fingers. The buttons seem to fall very conveniently no matter which way I hold it for switching on and off, moving from high to low heat, or high to low speed and using the cool shot. It was very well thought out. I LOVE that the screen on the back comes out to be defuzzed. This is the downfall of all the drugstore models I've ever gotten and I suspect the "killer" of same when you get frustrated not being able to get the fuzz out. The high heat is not as high I don't think as my old one, but that's better for your hair. However it's high enough if you are using your old drying techniques it'll dry fine. I LOVE the low heat setting. It just seems....right. Also, my old dryer would make my lights flicker. Turn it on, flicker. Press the cool shot button, flicker. This does NOT. This may be a result of the much higher quality cord. I don't know, but I'm much less worried about blowing a fuse.
Overall, I am just happy as a clam with this thing. Frankly, I'd recommend it to anyone. I've never tried a high end dryer before (which all seem to be priced about the same as this) so maybe they're all great, but I feel like I have the best of ALL worlds to manipulate my hair with the Hand, the concentrator and my bowl diffuser, or just plain open. Personally, I feel its a very good tool and as much time as we all spend on our hair, it's going to be worth its price to have a good hair tool if you aren't the type that can't air dry, like me.

I have what you call 1980's Hair...not in the good way. But after getting my hair done by curly girl trained person and her showing me how to do it and with this awesome blow dryer my hair looks healthy and great!! Seriously I know I sound self involved about this, but finally loving my hair and the way I look makes me fill good about myself. All the pretty soft straight haired girls are now loving "my" hair and wishing they had it..instead of me wishing I had straight hair.Honest reviews on DevaCurl Dryer and Diffuser
I have thick hair with 3b curls that can go to a frizzy mess in humidity. The Deva Curl products are all wonderful and I use them daily. I have read reviews (here and there) about people not being happy with the Deva Curl dryer and diffuser. I think it could be the instructions that come with the dryer. The first time I used the dryer I followed the instructions on the back of the box. My hair is almost exactly like the model profiled. When I was finished my hair had tight, frizzy curls with a lot of puff. (Granted the frizz could be the 98%+ humidity with no a/c). The 2nd time I used the dryer I notched the setting down from high and lost some (not all) of the puffy and frizz. I used it again this morning and used the diffuser my own way. NOW my hair looks awesome and more like the model profiled. I did not dry my hair completely (90% dry). I don't have to go to work with a wet head and I'm guaranteed nice curls wherever I am (hard/soft water, humidity....etc...). I'm not sure why the directions are the way they are. When I had a professional dry my hair with one of these she didn't follow the directions on the box. She never left the diffuser on spots for two (2) plus minutes. She was drying different parts of hair at different times and coming back around and repeating (which is how I did it).The Deva diffuser differs from a regular diffuser because it dries the top and bottom of your hair at one time. Basically less/no time using your hands with the diffuser. Dryer is light and does not get hot like my cheap Kmart one did.
If you buy this diffuser work with it and create your own instruction manual. We all have different types of curls and waves. What works best for one might not work for another. I use some of the Deva products different from the directions that are posted on the bottles.
I also purchased the Deva Curl detangle spray...fantastic! It's a must have for curly girls who get knots.
