Expensive Blow Dryers: Yay or Nay? | Harry Josh Ultra Light Pro Review [YouTube]

Since I was young, I’ve had a LOT of hair. It takes a full day to air dry and although it’s not as thick as some, it certainly is the reason I try to blow dry it no more than twice a week. It takes me about 30 minutes to blow dry, then another 5-15 minutes if I’m straightening/curling. It’s simply obnoxious. When Dermstore.com approached me asking if I’d like to try the new Harry Josh Ultra Light Pro Dryer ($349) used during the Victoria’s Secret NYFW Show – completely complimentary – I jumped at the chance. Who hasn’t wondered if a $300-400 hair dryer really makes a difference, right – especially us thick-haired girls!? I put it to the test against my standard Conair Infiniti Pro 1875. Ready for my Harry Josh Ultra Light Pro review and results?
harry josh ultra light pro review
This hair dryer is expensive. As someone who has never tried a high-end hair dryer, I couldn’t understand what the deal was.
The Harry Josh Ultra Light Pro is less than 1 lb, powerful, yet fairly quiet. You can watch TV (or YouTube, like me) while drying your hair.

The Ions ACTUALLY make my hair smoother compared to other dryers I’ve tried that have the same claim.
But the biggest perk to the Harry Josh Ultra Light Pro was how fast it dried my hair.
The Harry Josh Ultra Light Pro dried my hair to a smooth finish – no straightener needed – in 16 minutes.
My traditional Conair takes 27+ minutes, and I still need to run a straightener over it to tame the mane!
PLUS – I’m not sweating and my arms aren’t tired after using it…

The Harry Josh Ultra Light Pro Dryer goes on sale officially TODAY on Dermstore.com.
What do you think? Are you a high-end hair dryer kind of girl? If so, how long has yours held up? I’m thinking if it can last me 4+ years, it’s totally worth it.

I have a ghd hairdryer, and I have to say I really do see a difference with the more pricer ones! Sometimes tools are worth the extra money, like my straightener that has lasted me 10 years. But, at the time I thought I was nuts for spending $200 lol.
This is so funny… you’re the third person this week to tell me that they’ve invested in higher end hair tools that have lasted since college (10+ years… why are we getting old!?) I always had a higher end straightener and curling iron. Not sure why I thought I should skimp on the blow dryer. So glad I know the difference now!
I have a ghd blow dryer and straightener. I don’t think I can give them up bc I love how good they are. My other styling tools were drugstore or Nume but ghd beats all those brands.
I used to have the old school Hot Tools straightener until after college and then I graduated to a CHI. Still going strong and also have the Amika straightener (also GREAT). My NuMe wand wasn’t bad, but it’s loose now after a year of use which is kind of a bummer. It’s crazy how expensive hair products can make such a big difference – especially for those of us with thicker/texture to our hair. One more reason I’m an expensive person lol.
