Is this considered a high velocity dryer? I want to straighten my poodle's curly hair after showers and I'm wondering if this will be able to do that.

I am not sure if the term for this dryer is high velocity as I am just a novice pet owner and not a groomer. But I will say that it is the best thing since sliced bread. I have a Wheaton terrier and he is 39lbs, his natural hair is curly but we keep his hair straight. Prior to using this dryer I would just use the typical hair dryer and it took forever, now with this dryer the time is cut down to 20 minutes max and his hair comes out straight whether I brush it while drying or not. Obviously if you brush the hair as your dry, it will be straighter. I highly recommend this dryer. Hope this helps !

How big is your poodle? Let's put it like this. When I'm blow drying my 7 month old Bouviers, who's probably 70 lbs at this point, the water basically gets blasted off of him, even at low setting. If you don't hold the hose when you turn it on, it goes flying. I'm not sure how that translates to what you're doing, but you're getting a powerful blast of air from this thing. One more thing. Make sure when you use it it's on a 20amp circuit. It routinely trips my 15amp circuit. Hope that helps.

It could be considered such. With the amount of air it blows (even on low) it blows out my Miniature Poodle's 3" coat straight quickly. It also helps that there is a heat function which can help further dry kinky coats straight!

I have used a remington wet 2 straight , and ill tell you . I made a great choice by switching to this conair straightener . it heats up extremely quick , and the plates move according to the thickness of your hair and decrease the puling at the ends which can be relatively painful . its overall a really good hair product .

I have only had the blow dryer for awhile. I also have fine hair, I think what I am learning is that those of us with fine hair need a good styling product. I just purchased Enjoy. I will be using that and hair dryer today. I am hoping for good results. I do like the hair dryer.

Wate is not listed anywhere on the box, the dryer or in the packaging. I even looked on the HOT TOOLS website and the wattage was not listed there. However, I have extremely thick hair and it dries my hair in a fairly fast time. It is an IONIC Turbo dryer with fast drying time. Sorry no wattage invormation is available. But I do love the dryer, if that helps!

The curly part - yes - I have very curly hair and the dryer works well at smoothing it dry quickly. The dry part - I'd use a hydrating product before blow drying. Ask your stylist for a recommendation.

I would not purchase this dryer again. Too long, not enough settings, tends to make my hair frizzy. Does dry fast. Hopes this helps.

I will say it is a heavy blow dryer, BUT, it dries the hair faster, and leaves the hair shinier than anyone I've ever used. I'm a hairstylist and I got sick and tired of buying dryers over and over. EACH one claimed it was was THE blow dryer. Finally I looked on line at which blow dryer rated the best and this one came up. At over 100.00 dollars I thought, here we go again!!! This is by far the best one I've owned yet. Again, it's not light like others are claiming, but it dries far faster than others. I hope this helped!

I had the same concern when I bought this dryer. I have very thick curly hair that goes down to the middle of my neck. When I wash my hair, I let it air dry for about 15-20 minutes and then get under the dryer for a maximum of 20 minutes, usually less time. I have a pile of magazines in front of the dryer and, quite frankly, I think I take longer than I need because I'm enjoying my reading material. I've had a great experience with this dryer - no complaints.

Sounds like your looking for a hair dryer with a very gentle blow, one that barely blows your hair around. This one, I would say is more of a low to medium blow. It will move your hair around. Hope this helps.

yes, it is a hair dryer, working best on hair that is towel-dried/damp, not wet. it will dry your wet hair, it just takes longer

YES...I have thick but fine textured hair and it works great. It takes less than two minutes to dry my hair. I love this little dryer and would highly recommend it. It is small but very powerful and the quality is miles ahead of any dryer I have seen in the stores.

I have very thick natural curly hair so I'm not sure. This hairdryer is wonderful for my hair, I just wish I found it a long time ago. It adds volume to my hair by scrunching it up and holding it next to my scalp.

It's been my experience that the diffuser attachment that you put on a traditional hair dryer will eventually start popping off, which can get really annoying. Also, traditional dryers seem to blow harder (they seem to be intended for straightening hair). This hair dryer seems to blow a little softer, which doesn't destroy your curls/waves.

I am not where my hair dryer is, so can't say, but it is clearly stated on the information for the unit. Whatever it is rated at, it is certainly enough to dry my very thick hair in a short amount of time. I really love it.

I have super thick curly hair and (to me) the thing about this particular model of dryer is that it takes half the time for my thick heavy hair to dry. This dryer does help combat frizz sure but if I want to maintain the curl I would have to use the model with a diffuser. Otherwise I would use this (along with products) to straighten.

Yes, this is a bonnet dryer similar to the ones in salons. I have fine high density very curly hair. This dryer is great even on days when I do wash- and- goes with heavy gels.
