HANAair Professional Hair Dryer {Product Review}

Want a no BS, genuinely great hair dryer? Keep reading.
I have a love.hate relationship with my hair.
I always want long, luscious flowing locks...but every time I get it to a decent length, I get bored (or think it looks disgusting) and chop it back off.
Right around Thanksgiving I got to this point. My hair is not easy to take care of. I can scrunch it and leave it naturally curly. That only takes about 10 minutes. But I'm not thrilled with how it looks.
I can straighten it, but then it just looks flat and boring.
I wish I could just blow dry it, but it's always so poofy - which leads to a flat iron and the above complaint.
My FAVORITE thing to do is dry it and use my hot rollers. Although I personally think it makes me look like a total bombshell, it's just not practical because it takes forever to dry my hair and then I have to put hot rollers in after that. Too time consuming.
The bombshell look has been reserved in the past to at the most, once a week, on the weekend, when I have about 2 hours to spare to get ready....
Over Thanksgiving I got an email from Misikko asking if I would be interested in trying their HANAair Professional Hair Dryer.
I went snooping and found out it was part of their Hana Salon line.
Free hair dryer in exchange for my honest thoughts about it? Sign me up.
I'll admit I was skeptical while I waited for the hair dryer to arrive. I had already decided that I would post whatever I REALLY thought about it...the good, bad and the ugly.
A week later it arrived - along with a ton of other goodies.


So I put this baby to the test.
It's competition?

Now I will tell you the honest truth. If you've spent your life buying cheap hair dryers at Walmart & Target - you are really missing out.
I used to purchase the cheapest hair dryer I could...whatever would just 'do the job'. Then a girl I worked with told me that if I invested some money in a good hair dryer I would notice a HUGE difference. So I went out and dropped about $40-50 on the one you see above. She didn't lie to me. It cut my hair drying time in half. And my hair looked a lot healthier.
So, I wanted HANAair to prove the same thing.

I liked the sleek packaging. Another plus was the concentrator attachment.


Once I pulled the dryer out and further inspected it, I found a few other things I was truly jazzed about.
It's small and lightweight. Definitely lighter than my Remington.
It has heat and speed settings & has a cool switch. The Remington also has these options, but they aren't as great. Remington's "Hot" makes you scalp feel like it's on fire. That doesn't keep me from using it on that setting every day, but it can be painful sometimes. You also have to hold "Cool" down the entire time you want the air to be cold.
Not on the HANAair. Their "Hot" setting is just warm and their "Cool" button is actually a switch. Just click it in and it will stay cold until you re-click the button. You may be thinking "If it's not as hot, it probably doesn't dry as fast"...Read below to see that this was definitely NOT the case.
The last thing I loved is that it has an insanely long cord. You would appreciate this if you share a sink with your husband. I can stand in the bedroom, sit on my bed, or walk to open our bedroom door with this hairdryer still plugged into the bathroom wall.
So I performed the ultimate test.Dry my hair with both dryers under the exact same conditions and see how things played out.
I got out of the shower, threw my hair in a towel for 2 minutes and then dried my hair. No products.
Remington dried my hair in 4 minutes. HANAair did it in 3.
I usually have product in my hair, which makes it take longer to dry. I have to have product otherwise my hair is poofy, frizzy and weird.
A minute difference may not sound like much, but it is. And on top of that, the biggest thing is how your hair looks at the end of those few minutes.
Here is where I was floored:
The picture on the left is my hair after drying with the Remington. On the right is after I used HANAair.
Remember: I added no product and used my hands & a regular brush to dry it.
The difference between 3-4 minutes may sound  minuscule, but when my hair is so shiny and smooth that I don't need to add 10 minutes of flat ironing? THAT is huge.
I would never write something I don't believe. Honestly, I could have probably just written the post with the two pictures above. This hair dryer is awesome. It does exactly what it says it does, and leaves your hair healthy, smooth and straight.
Add in your typical hair products and it's even better.I've personally never found a hair dryer that makes my hair nice enough to wear "as is".I can now do my hair in 3 minutes.

*I received this item as a gift from Misikko, but was not compensated in any way for this post. All opinions are my own and I was not influenced by anything other than my extreme love for this product.
