I am a AA woman with all natural 4a cottony hair. I stopped doing my hair at home about 10 yrs ago, when I was relaxed, so I rarely ever used a blow dryer and mind you the blow dryer I had was just to get by. Now that I am natural, I do 99% of my hair styling at home and needed something better.
My previous dryer (different brand) only had a concentrator attachment for blowing out my hair so I used it in conjunction with my Aveda denman brush. That was TORTURE! My arm would ache before I was even half way through which caused me to take 2 min breaks in between and during the process the brush handle would be come slippery due to my hair being wet or from the leave in conditioner which only added to the headache of blowing my hair out. It basically took me 20-30mins to blow dry 5" of hair :(
I used this blow dryer 2 weeks ago to blow out my hair using the comb attachment to do mini two strand twists. I swear it took me less than 10 mins to dry my hair. I was so happy and it was so EASY! The reviews are telling the truth that the combs DO FLEX unlike the previous model from decades ago, where the combs would break off jaggedly at the smallest hair knot. I always recommend and practice untangling the hair before blow drying, regardless of the attachment.
In summary: I HIGHLY recommend!!! :)

My Conair 1875 Yellowbird has worked for years, but I wanted to try something different and give it to my daughter. This dryer was light in weight and thorough in drying. The comb attachment didn't pop off or get hot like my Conair and the teeth on the comb didn't dig into my scalp when drying. Also, it didn't take as long to dry my hair which is medium in length and thickness. A good dryer for a modest price.
