Return the Conair. It did not do what you wanted.

I agree, (if you still have the bill), return it.

The Conair might not even be working properly, the hot setting should always be hot, or else they shouldn't label it hot. (I have a Conair one, not that model, but it does get fully hot, so I don't think it's a design thing.)

My blow dryer works great, I think it is a Paul Mitchell salon dryer. I also have very fine hair and a blow dryer is all I need, don't even need that on a warm sunny day.

Another vote here for taking it back as defective. That's ridiculous, a hair dryer that has no hot air.

Hey let her stay.. let's break traditions.. maybe it won't rain or snow this weekend in so cal. I have a Sharper Image sonic hairdryer, have had it for years and hate to think of it dying. So far so good. Sometimes hairdressers will know of a good deal. I remember once Peggy steered me to a really good curling iron. It wasn't one she would use because she uses the marcel style irons that you have to have much better coordination to use than I possess .. not that I even use an iron with my hair shorter.. I also vote to return the Conair.

Sorry Juju, I didn't mean to lure you here! But I vote to let you stay, too! Hair is just hair anyway, right? So, I've packed up the Conair and I have the receipt to take it back. Will do that after work today and get a different one. By coincidence, I have a salon apt this morning, so I'm going to check out my hairdresser's dryer, too. Thanks for all the info. I'll let you know what I end up with.

Well, I have finally found a dryer that suits me! After Babyruth pointed out the Remington ones on Amazon, I started looking around and ended up on drugstore.com. I found one that looked just like mine, same 1875, same controls and all. So I took a chance and ordered it. It's great! Almost exactly like my old one, but a bit smaller and lightweight. And best of all, it works and drys like I'm used to. So, there is a happy ending after all. Now I may order a spare......just in case. Thanks to all for their input!

Isn't it funny how getting a haircut can make you feel so good. I got a cut and color last night and I feel downright perky today.

Tess, if you are still keeping count, please give one to the haircutter. I need a hat to wear because this cut is so short.

I get my hair trimmed every 4-5 weeks. I have a short bob and I like my hair to always look the same. Someone at my office thinks I get my hair cut too much. Anyway, besides this person being rude and not mtob I started wondering if anyone else does this.

Maplsyrp, I have also been wearing a very short style and get it trimmed and colored that often, too. When you wear it that short, every little bit of growth can look sloppy. No one in my office has ever said I go too often. Recently, I've been letting it grow out a bit and I can hardly stand it, but I'm going to grit my teeth and give it a try, just for a change. I might even try extensions while it grows out so it doesn't look so "out of place".

Mapl, I get mine cut that often when I can, which admittedly wasn't that often the past few years. I keep mine short and don't really care how it looks when it grows out- I don't work- but it grows fast and I hate having hair in my eyes. Good thing I'm not a slave to fashion, I can't stand long bangs hanging to the side or long bangs, period. As soon as they start getting in my eyes I get it cut, if I can. In the last 2 months I've gotten it cut 3 times, got a cut today, in fact.

Thanks, I was beginning to think I was the only one that did it. I am growing my bangs out and it has not been as hard as I thought it would be. They are long enough now to go behind my ears so that helps. Back when I was between jobs I got my hair cut in a short boy cut and it was wonderful.

I have a question that will point out exactly how stupid and clueless I am, but what the heck. Is there a good and easy dye out there that won't take a huge amount of effort to use? I have never dyed my hair, but I cringe at all the grey I am seeing lately. And if I were to try and go out job hunting, I think I'd have a better chance if I covered up the grey. Way back when I was a kid, and Mom dyed her hair, I remember it being a huge ordeal. She had to wear gloves, and do her hair over the sink, and use a special towel that didn't matter if it got dye all over it. I'd rather not do my hair over the sink. I just don't have the build for it. I'm too short to just stand over the sink. And even if I get up on a chair, I can't quite reach under the spout without a lot of effort. If fact, kneeling on a chair might even make me shorter to the sink now. Standing on the chair puts me too high. And I'm not about to risk falling or having the chair break from under my weight anyway. And of course my big gut gets in the way of me getting properly close to the sink anyway. The best way for me to wash my hair is when I shower. Is there a dye that can be applied under that scenario? Or would I end up with dye dripping all the way down my body? I've browsed the various boxes in the hair dye aisle, and none of them offer directions of use on the outside of the box. So I don't know which ones are harder to use than others. Also, I'd need a fairly gentle dye, since I have very dry frizzy hair anyway. So I'd rather stay away from things with alcohol in them, or other things that notoriously dries out hair. Picky, aren't I? LOL.

Where is Mocha when we need her? LOL. Maybe Pamy knows. Whoami, I color my own hair occasionally and I do apply the color over the sink and use a towel that I don't mind getting dye on, but I always rinse off in the shower. In applying the dye over the sink, I'm not bending over and getting my head all the way in the bowl, just kind of leaning over so if anything drips, it's an easy wipe up. I don't know about gentle dyes. I go with whatever color catches my eye. I think I am going to go very blonde next time. I've been playing around with different shades of red for the last few months. As far as covering gray, lighter haircolor is more effective. Is your hair short or long? Either way, I say go for it!

By the way, in regards to the dry, frizzy hair, there are some leave-in products you can use that help. I use one by Neutrogena and just a dime sized amount leaves my hair silky.
