This hair dryer is so pretty, and light! But I have to say, I apparently read the listing wrong, this is a ICONIC hair dry, not ionic. Curious as to what exactly that meant I looked it up, then it made since.
Definition of ICONIC
1: of, relating to, or having the characteristics of an icon
2 a : widely recognized and well-established
b : widely known and acknowledged especially for distinctive excellence
Xtava is known to have amazing hair styling tools that are over the top. This particular product, in my opinion is not over the top, but I still like it for my hair. I have baby fine hair so I don't require mega heat to dry it. With this dryer, I was able to dry my hair a bit quicker than with my Conair dryer I've had for years but as I said it doesn't take much for my hair. It has 3 heat settings and 2 speed options plus the cool shot option. I like that it seems to be instantly hot when you turn it on, and the cool shot feature works much much better than my Conair.
I don't use a defuser, but I did use the concentration nozzle and it seemed to fit fairly well other than an occasional spin here and there when I wacked it with the hair brush. The cord is very thick and an average length and I'm ok with that. I am a bit disappointed that it does not swivel however as I "round brush" my hair and a swivel cord works best for that. Even though I am right handed, I actually use my left hand to dry with as I style and this dryer made that very easy. Also, being that it is light weight, my arm and hand did not get fatigued as it normally does while doing my hair.
I like that my hair is nice and shiney when I am done and not a frizzy mess. Overall even though this is not an ionic dryer, and it doesn't have a ton of bells and whistles, it's still a good value for the price. I paid almost $70 for my Conair, and the only difference between the two is the Conair has a swivel cord this does not. But this one has a better drying time and is more light weight.
