Vidal Sassoon's Infra Radiance Hair Dryer Review

A couple of months ago my old hairdryer went caput and I was left without one for just over a month.  I found it quite hard to pick a new one as there as so many to choose between and I wanted to make sure I invested my money in something that would last longer than my last one! After seeing the quality of Vidal Sassoon's Infra Radiance Curlers* first hand, I decided that I'd pick up Vidal Sassoon's Infra Radiance Hair Dryer. I really trust Vidal Sassoon as a brand so I was more than happy to invest in one of their hair styling products - and I'm really happy to report that I haven't been let down!

First off, I'd just like to say how aesthetically appealing this hair dryer is! I bought mine online from Boots and was really happy when it arrived. It's incredibly easy to use and considering how sturdy it feels it's actually incredibly lightweight. The buttons are all very well placed too, so you won't accidentally blast cool air or change the heat setting half way through your blowdry.

Vidal Sassoon's Infra Radiance Hair Dryer comes with two attachements - a diffuser (for achieving defined curls) and a cocnentrator (for achieving smooth straight hair). You can also the dryer without either of the attachments for a quicker, rougher blow dry, which is perfect when you're in a rush or when you want to add some volume to your hair. Personally, I prefer to use the Concentrator attachment and I blow dry my hair on the lowest heat setting to reduce heat damage. I find that even on a lower heat setting than I'm used to my hair is dry quickly and it looks unbelievably smooth and shiny. I've actually had compliments on how shiny it's been looking recently and I definitely think that Vidal Sassoon's Infra Radiance technology is to thank for this.

The Infra Radiance Technology is supposed to help deliver hear more evenly across the hair, reducing frizz and speeding up drying whilst maintaining the natural moistuire balance of your hair. I definitely think that there's something to this as it leaves my hair looking infintiely more "done" than my last hair dryer ever did, and my hair dries more quickly despite using a lower heat. In short, I'm a total Infra Radiance Convert. I really love this hair dryer and I think it was a fabulous investment! I bought mine on offer at Boots for £29.99 but it's full retail price is £49.99 - but if you keep your eyes peeled you can often find it at the lower discounted price.

Vidal Sassoon Infra Radiance UK Giveaway

It's the first day of December and I thought I'd kick the month off with a giveaway! Last month I featured Vidal Sassoon's Infra Radiance Curler and I've been talking about it ever since. It's such a nice hair tool, it makes curling your hair so quick and easy but gives the long lasting results that you want when you go to all the effort of doing your hair.

A couple of days ago Vidal Sassoon got back in touch and offered me the opportunity to give away one of their Infa Radiance styling tools to one of my readers. This means that one of you will have the chance to pick between the Infra Radiance Dryer, Infra Radiance Straightener or the Infra Radiance Curler and Vidal Sassoon will send you whichever prize you choose. All three of these Vidal Sassoon's styling tools use infrared technology to help deliver faster and kinder heat styling results that leave hair look radiant. This technology helps deliver heat more evenly across hair, reducing hot spots and helping to prevent over drying. All three products also feature many user-friendly adaptations which make them lightweight and easy to use. If you'd like to learn more about the individual products then they're all available in store and online from Boots, and you can find out more information on each of their product pages. After Christmas the Infra Radiance range will also be sold in gift sets which will feature additional "styling extras". I already think that the styling tools are great value alone, so I'm really excited to see the release of the sets!

I've already shared how I've been incredibly impressed with my Infra Radiance Curler and I'm really happy to be able to give one of you the chance to try a product from the range. You don't have to pick which prize you'd like today, instead when I email the winner asking for their address I'll ask which styling tool they'd like to be sent.
