Paul Brown HawaiiMakani Ionic Hair Dryer - Professional Portable Hair Blow Dryer with Diffusers - Dual Speeds/3 Heat Settings - Durable Rubber Coating Prevents Damage - Auto Overheat Protection

The media could not be loaded.  I quite like this hair dryer, it's the first high quality dryer I've owned. I love the matte finish, it gives it a "salon quality" look.It has 3 speed settings, 3 temp settings and a cold blast button. My hair is usually stubborn to curl so I like to use the cool blast button to "freeze" my hair in shape.The 9 foot cord is great because my power outlet is further from my mirror and because it swivels I never have to bend my head weird to get the right angle on the dryer. However sometimes I have to untwist the cord. I also love the reinforcement on the cord attachment because I'm pretty sure I'd put a lot of stress on that spot and this makes me feel like it'll protect the cord and help extend the life of the dryer.It comes with 2 attachment which are more like "directors" than diffusers. They are good for if you are giving a blowout and want to point air at a brush, but if you want to diffuse and fluff curly or wavy hair you need to get your own attachment. I didn't see that they sole a curl diffuser that fit this blow dryer.Overall super happy with the purchase. Happy to have it as my first high quality dryer that was a $20 big box store brand.

I’ve never spent this amount of money on a hair dryer before. With my family (teens & tweens) we burn through them too much, but this baby won’t touch their devilish, lil hands 😆. I don’t mean devilish in an ‘evil’ bad way, but they just destroy everything, lol.I can’t afford to keep rebuying expensive things, but I will say.. this dries hair like a boss! Better then any drier I’ve used. That’s a HUGE plus, as I’m a very busy, working mama. It’s ceramic/ ionic as well, which is nice and fancy. Plus, it has three heat settings, and a cool power shot to lock in your style, post styling. It does help tame frizz, too 👍. Did I mention the 9 foot cord? Another thumbs up!The cons? Whelp, the price is high, but much cheaper then say a Dyson, obviously. I can’t see that brand doing a much better job, but I don’t own it, so don’t quote me on it. It really would have a hard time drying much, if any faster, then this Paul Brown model. BUT I did look online to learn more about the brand, and I did see this priced considerably less at $129 on numerous sites vs. $169 on here. I love Amazon SO much, but for me, $40 savings is quite a lot. So, case in point, it CAN be found cheaper.The only other con I have is that I do have a shoulder and elbow injury. This is a lovely drier & superbly well made, but it is heavier then what I’m used to using, and it also is longer at the ‘nose’, if you will. That being said, for somebody like me, it does make a difference. For many, it won’t, but I do use that side of my body to dry my hair, and it’s harder for me in particular, cause I have to hold it farther away from my head, and the weight can cause some uncomfortability.The way I somehow ‘even the score’ a bit in THAT respect, is that it dries much faster, so it’s a short-lived issue. I’m just wanting to make note of that. My hubby has torn rotary cuffs, so if you have certain injuries.. it may or may not be a worthy buy for you. Again, it dries faster though.In a whole, I’m impressed. Not everybody has an injury that would affect them with this drier, so I won’t take off much for that, just a 1/4 of a star, as the weight & length are a bit more then most driers, but I’m giving it a 3.75 star rating rounding up to 4 stars, which is still a great rating. If it was more competitively priced in comparison to other sites, it would do better, too… but it still is cheaper then many others.. I can’t help but make note of it in my review. I like saving money, ha, ha, ha.Great drying power, great functions, looks like it will last a good long time. (Out of my kids’ hands, lol.) oh, and it comes with two add-on nozzles for enhanced styling abilities 😉.3.75 stars rounded up to 4!⭐️⭐️⭐️ + 3/4** I hope my review has been helpful to you 😊. **

I was super excited to try out this hair dryer. Unfortunately it didn’t really do it for me.You have the power switch then a cold, warm and hot switch and a cool blast button.It took longer to dry my hair than my usual dryer which isn’t top of the line. It also made my hair tangle. I have super straight fine hair and my hair never knotted while I was drying it.Disappointed.

I’ve never used a Dyson or any super fancy dryers before so I can only compare this to my newer Remington and 10+ year old conair but this is by far the nicest dryer I’ve ever used at home.It feels nice and substantial when holding it and is covered in a matte, rubberized coating. Feels kind of odd at first since I’m used to shiny plastic but feels very nice and secure in your hand when using, even with product.The buttons and controls are super easy to use. One switch for heat, one for fan speed and a cool shot button.Super long cord. No worries about being able to move around while using.The actual motor on this thing is impressive. The low setting is more powerful than the high on any of the drug store dryers I have to compare it with. I have super thin, fine hair and was blown away with how much faster I was able to fully dry my hair.I usually don’t have the patience to actually style my hair and dry it with a round brush (I usually flip my hair over and whirl the dryer around) but since this takes so much less time, it’s not nearly as tedious to use a brush.It does come with a 2 year warranty which gives me hope that this dryer will outlive any of the cheaper ones I’ve had.
