ghd Air hairdryer - review

I'm so useless when it comes to blowdrying my hair. I suspect I may be a little dim, because everyone else seems able to manage the whole 'switch on dryer, point at head' routine that constantly eludes me. Either my hand is too limp-wristed and wobbly, and the effort needed to hold a kilo of plastic upright defeats me (I blame my ham-shaped triceps) or I burn a fifty-cent piece sized hole into my scalp. You can almost hear Yakity Sax playing every time I pick up the dryer

My boy Benny knows those feels

Disasters aside, I normally get bored after standing in my bathroom for an entire frigging hour and go to sleep with wet hair.

UNTIL I STARTED USING THE BEST HAIRDRYER EVER, THAT IS!

And yes, the all-caps are necessary, you guise. This is srs bsnss, fo reals.

I've been using my ghd Air for about a month, and love love love it.

Not only is it light enough to hold for half an hour without get dead-arm at 599g, I don't even have to use it for that long, with the full-blast, high heat setting and nozzle attachment (I used the larger of the two it comes with) combo getting my thick, underboob length hair mostly dry in about five minutes thanks to the salon strength AC motor and 2100 watts of hair slammin' power. That's a huge drop in dry-time which can be better spent sorting out my Adventure Time gifs folder.

Makin' pancakes, makin' bacon pancakes!

Extra lazy points for having a super long cord so I can walk it from my bathroom and flop on my bed while still getting the job done.

I also like the cold blast button, which is a pretty common feature in hairdryers nowadays to finish off a blowdry and seal open hair cuticles. What's noteworthy here is that the air emitted is actually icy cold, not just a shot of coolish to room temperature air. Not going to lie, I may have also used this function to dry off my fake tan before getting redressed to great success.

The Air leaves my frizz-prone, obnoxious as hell hair fairly smooth and shiny given my hair's reputation for being a boofy arsehole, which a lot better than my previous dryer that just made it fluffy.

I think the ghd Air does an excellent job at drying my hair without compromising on its condition, and although it's pricey for a hairdryer, ghd has always made products that last the distance (my ghd straightener is entering its 10th year!!).

The ghd Air retails for A$199 or slightly less here ($174!).
