My hair is thick and the comb attachments with smaller dryers eventually break. Is this one more sturdy?

Yes, this comb seems to be more sturdy than other blow dryers that I have tried. I have extremely thick long hair, and the comb went through it without any issues.

Hasn't broken yet on my thick hair. Just ordered another for my college bound daughter.

I tried to bend the teeth on the attachment though it is plastic, very strong. I am a hairstylist and am using this one temporarily until I get my original CHI gets out of storage.

I find the comb to be sturdy. It's teeth are in two rows about 3/8" apart. The attachment is very well made, no flimsy plastic here or anywhere on this dryer. I'm very glad I purchased it.

Yes, I really like this flat iron. I have a lot of thick hair and it gets it straight in no time! I also have a smaller one (diff. brand) and I feel this one does the job quicker. I hope this helps.

I don't think it's heavy at all. However, it is not a frail little thing! It is a sturdy hairdryer but I would not consider it heavy. My arm is not at all stressed or tired after blow drying my hair. I honestly think you'll like it.

I use the brush attachment from my old dryer, it stays on. The fins to hold it on are slightly thicker than on the new brush. It is disappointing that it is sold this way and that I have to use an old brush on it.

I have had the same problem getting a comb attachment for this model. The best solution is to take the old comb piece to a beauty supply store and see if they have a generic attachment that will fit. I'm actually concerned about investing too much in my dryer as if you read the reviews there has been a large number of incidence of this model exploding or catching fire (read ratings with 1 star). Good luck with your search

I've never noticed the bristles getting soft(er) when using it with a hair dryer. The bristles are gentle enough, though, that if you are trying to lock your hair in place to dry particular sections in a particular manner, the hair will fly away as it dries, the brush is not meant to be firm. Which is why it is fantastic.

I have fine hair too. I'm not very good with the brush but the curling iron attachment worked well and the hair dryer attachment is great because the blower isn't too strong and it doesn't blow my hair flat like other hair dryers do. The issue I had with the curling iron attachment is that the cord doesn't spin very well and the cord wore out. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of options for things that work well with short, fine hair.

I have a Conair hairdryer that is medium weight and it holds it great. I have had no problems with it slipping out or any of the other issues I have read about.

Only recently, the tangling brush attachment has started falling off on ocassion. I figured it was just me, my hair is quite thick.

This is a quality product that has a solid feel, I do not perceive this dryer as heavy. My wife has moderate arthritis of the hands and has no problem handling and supporting the hair dryer. She frequently does say she really likes the product.

The hair dryer's heft is average, I'd say, but not light or flimsy. Hold is excellent due to grip design, as well as maneuvering. I have very long hair and dry it upside down with the diffuser attachment (purchased separately). My arms do not tire. The cold shot button is easy to reach with my thumb for finishing out hair.

Hi, LeAnn:Though I do like this blowdryer, I like the Babyliss Pro BABP2800 even more. I use the 2800 as a rule now because not only does it do a better job drying my hair without actually drying it out, but it also makes it look like I spent time styling it. Usually, I just brush my hair a little while I'm drying it and occasionally run my fingers through it to aim the air where it needs to go. I have gotten some nice compliments on my hair since using the BABP2800. I think if volume is what you're after, then that will be the blowdryer for you. Hope this helps! :)

Not really. It's a decent length but not long. Also it gets twisted a lot. I have to untangle it daily. And the hair dryer is really loud.

Pull on the handle and hair dryer at the same time. It's a bit stiff at first and you think it will break but then it goes smoothly. I love the hair dryer and me and my husband could not figure it out either so just did it and it's great. Enjoy

I can't help you. I've never had or used a comb attachment. I do love the dryer.

it's very easy...handle bends inward, parallel to the main dryer. I absolutely love this style!

Yes. I have very fine hair and the hair dryer works great for me and it is very compact as well.
