REVIEW: REMINGTON AIR 3D

I recently got my hands on the Remington AIR 3D Hair Dryer. I’ve used it quite a few times and had a chance to get a thorough opinion of what I think of it. I had heard great things about it – mainly that it compares very closely to the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer but at a much more affordable price point, so naturally I was very excited to try it.

“The Remington Salon Collection Air3D™ Hair Dryer is designed with a hollow core that generates evenly heated air for fast drying. The 1600 watt max power motor provides salon-quality performance to dry hair quickly, and a range of heat and speed settings give you the great results for your hair type and style.”

FEATURES

• 3D Airflow Technology

• Lightweight & Balanced

• 1600 Watts Max Power

• Smooth Conditioning Technology with Ceramic +Titanium Grill

UNBOXING

It comes in a beautiful black box with everything neatly presented. Inside the box, is the hairdryer, a diffuser head and 2 blow drying attachments. I like that the box can be used when travelling to store all your hair products/hairdryer and accessories – although I haven’t tried this yet and it may be a bit too bulky.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT

• It’s very compact and light to hold

• It has a good variety of air settings, starting at a very low pressure and increasing to a much stronger air.

• It has a varied temperature setting – Cool, warm and hot

• My hair does seem to dry a little quicker than usual

THINGS THAT BOTHER ME

The hollow core creates quite a strong vacuum – I like to diffuse my hair upside down and my hair has been sucked into the hole a few times. It got really stuck in there one time and I actually had to cut a small piece of my hair to get it out. So you just need to be a little more careful.

It’s quite noisy but that doesn’t really bother me, my previous hairdryer wasn’t much softer but in comparison to the dyson, it’s quite noisy. The low air setting is a huge plus for me. My roots take the longest to dry so this allows me to take the diffuser head off and dry my roots very gently without causing frizz. There is also a cool button on the front that is easy to access if you need a blast of cool air which is great.

Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase and can’t fault it much. For the price point, I think it’s a great buy 🙂
