about six months ago i started wearing
0:02
my hair and primarily wash and go i fell
0:04
in love with the style and i wear it
0:06
about 95 percent of the time and one of
0:09
the most important things about styling
0:12
wash ago is making sure it's completely
0:14
dry to get you know the elongation
0:17
just a very
0:18
polished finish
0:20
towards the end of my last video i had
0:21
pulled in my hooded dryer and you guys
0:24
had questions about what kind of dryer i
0:27
use for my wash and gos um so i'm gonna
0:31
share with you some of the tools i use
0:33
to dry my hair um which ones i'm so glad
0:36
i got and which ones if i did it over i
0:39
wouldn't pick up
0:40
i wouldn't buy again
0:42
okay so first up i'm gonna talk about my
0:45
handheld dryer
0:49
so this is red um if you guys watch
0:52
deeper than here
0:53
you'll recognize this like she uses this
0:55
dryer or a similar model when she does
0:58
like silk presses and stuff
1:00
but what i like about this hair dryer is
1:03
that it gets
1:05
it it's powerful also
1:07
very affordable when there dries out
1:09
there like a dyson and that other one
1:11
that actually looks like a vacuum
1:12
cleaner that people use
1:14
now i don't use this on myself as much
1:17
as i do my kids because they're not
1:19
going to sit still under anybody's
1:21
hooded dryer so i chase them around the
1:23
bathroom with this dryer to dry their
1:26
hair and i don't diffuse nothing on
1:28
those boys the boys i put the
1:30
concentrated nozzle on here and my goal
1:32
is to
1:33
to dry like they're normally 2-3 feet
1:35
away from me so i'm just hitting them
1:37
with that concentrated nozzle so this is
1:39
one of the drying tools in my arsenal
1:43
i tried to use it for me
1:45
but what happened is
1:47
two things
1:49
so for my hair i would want to use a
1:51
diffuser
1:53
this is a
1:56
silicone
1:58
this is a silicone pop-up diffuser so it
2:00
flattens and it comes out
2:03
there was supposed to be a piece in here
2:05
there was a piece in here at some point
2:07
and
2:08
my kids popped it out i don't know what
2:10
they did with it
2:12
so this diffuser
2:13
is a no-go for me right now
2:16
i have an actual diffuser um that i've
2:19
had for years
2:21
it's just literally been sitting around
2:23
collecting dust
2:25
because
2:26
before i was wearing wash it goes
2:29
um i didn't really use it and now that i
2:32
am wearing wash and goes it
2:36
it don't fit
2:39
so this is like a universal diffuser
2:41
supposedly but it doesn't fit on this
2:43
dryer that i like so 90 of the times i'm
2:45
not using this on me i'm using it on my
2:48
boys because it blows strong hot air and
2:51
it gets the job done so out of all three
2:53
of those things um the one thing i
2:55
wouldn't purchase again was the silicone
2:57
one that has like the it like it pops
2:59
out like i i can't
3:01
i
3:06
what i'm gonna do with this
3:10
this is probably the one thing that i'm
3:11
gonna show you today that i wouldn't buy
3:13
again it didn't work out for me it fits
3:15
the blow dryer but this thing that's
3:17
supposed to be in here pops out super
3:19
easily and it's gone and now i'm gonna
3:22
get to what i actually
3:24
do use which is my hooded dryer my
3:27
hooded dryer has been working out well
3:29
for me i've had it somewhere between i
3:32
wouldn't say six to eight months and i
3:33
use it at least once a week most of the
3:35
times two to three times a week to set
3:37
my hair and wash and gos or other styles
3:40
what i like about the
3:42
dryer that i have
3:44
it has a timer it has
3:47
adjustments for the temperature
3:49
it has adjustments for the speed so i
3:51
love
3:52
tools that have those three-way
3:53
adjustments
3:55
and it's on the timer so sometimes like
3:57
i'll plan this on there for an hour
3:59
and like like one of my kids or my
4:02
husband will call me some and be like
4:03
can you come do something real quick and
4:05
i'll leave it on because i think i'm
4:06
coming right back to sit under it and i
4:07
don't so that timer
4:10
is clutch because it'll automatically
4:12
turn the dryer off and i like the one
4:15
that i have because it is on wheels
4:18
so sometimes i dry my hair in my bedroom
4:21
sometimes i dry my hair
4:24
in my home office
4:25
so that is the hooded dryer so when i
4:28
use the hooded dryer to dry wash and go
4:31
i try to sit under there for a minimum
4:33
of 20 minutes
4:35
um maximum of like an hour it just
4:37
depends on what i got going on
4:39
20 minute
4:40
my at 20 minutes
4:42
my hair isn't going to be completely dry
4:44
but at least i feel like my hair starts
4:45
to the cast on my hair starts to firm up
4:48
and it's okayish
4:50
and 60 minutes in the summertime my hair
4:53
still won't be dry
4:54
60 minutes in the winter time it is set
4:57
good to go
5:00
and i haven't had it long enough to be
5:02
able to say like how durable it is
5:04
because like i said it's been less than
5:05
a year
5:06
um so i can't say like does this dry
5:08
last longest is it the best thing out
5:10
there but the reason i got it i didn't
5:13
necessarily trust the ones on amazon
5:16
i wasn't there was no like
5:18
i couldn't find
5:20
a hooded dryer
5:22
from a well-known brand
5:24
that i thought would work for my hair so
5:26
i've seen the tabletop ones they kind of
5:29
go over but i like this blow dryer i
5:31
like this hooded dryer because it's like
5:33
got that nice deep dome
5:35
um the fan is on top so there are no
5:38
holes around the sides i kind of wish
5:40
there were holes just because i feel
5:41
like that gets
5:43
more evenly distributed but
5:45
in this deep dome configuration
5:47
i can't find anything that
5:49
that had the holes that go around so
5:51
like the air is all around but the fan
5:55
and the dome do a pretty good job of
5:57
keeping the air in and and flowing um
6:01
i also like this dryer because the
6:05
the dome part you can rotate it so you
6:08
you get in under it and then you can
6:10
flip it so like if you feel like one
6:11
part of your hair is drying faster than
6:13
another you can spin this dome around
6:15
and have that you know
6:17
so that the side that's not drying fast
6:18
enough you can put what you know that
6:20
part of the dome that's getting the job
6:22
done better over there
6:24
it's a little bit tricky to get to go up
6:27
and down
6:28
uh it's like on the spring mechanism and
6:31
most of the time it works fine but
6:33
sometimes i feel like when i'm under it
6:34
and i'm trying to just push it down or
6:37
trying to get it just right it um it's
6:39
sometimes a little bit of a hassle
6:41
oh and i got my hooded dryer from a
6:44
place called
6:46
house of beauty world and it's a brand
6:48
called pro tools 2500 the reason i
6:52
bought it
6:53
is because that's the one they had like
6:55
i've ordered from house of beauty house
6:57
of beauty world like several times over
6:59
the years
7:00
it is like the online
7:02
local beauty supply store so
7:04
if you go to those bigger stores like
7:06
sally's and ulta you won't always find
7:09
um the stuff that they have at the local
7:11
beauty supply but house of beauty world
7:14
has a bunch of stuff that you can't find
7:17
at um those bigger name stores
7:21
so
7:22
over the years i've ordered from them
7:23
several times
7:25
and i've never disappointed they always
7:27
got here in a reasonable amount of time
7:29
and it was like the products were what
7:30
they said they were going to be
7:32
so i trusted that
7:34
store house of beauty world so that's
7:36
why i ordered my dryer from them i know
7:40
nothing about the brand pro tools but
7:42
this is the hooded dryer they had and i
7:44
had
7:45
trust that they would deliver me a
7:46
decent product and if i did and if they
7:48
didn't that i could go back and get some
7:51
kind of customer service so that's the
7:53
only reason i got this specific drive
7:55
besides the fact it had all the controls
7:57
i wanted the adjustable height wheels
7:59
that's what i was looking for in
8:01
particular
8:02
i've had it for less than a year so i
8:04
can't say anything about longevity but
8:07
right now performance wise it does not
8:09
disappoint
8:11
it gets nice and hot um i didn't realize
8:13
how hot it got actually until i did a
8:16
twist out because this
8:18
or even like a rod set the heat doesn't
8:21
really get down to my scalp
8:23
once i did one of those flat twist outs
8:25
and i sat under that like i couldn't go
8:28
i had to turn it down a little bit
8:29
because the highest setting is nice and
8:31
toasty
8:32
and it was getting on my nerves when i
8:35
had to twist out so it does get nice and
8:36
hot so if you guys have any other
8:39
questions about the dryer that i didn't
8:41
answer you could go ahead and leave it
8:42
down below
8:44
and if you have a favorite handheld
8:45
dryer or diffuser go ahead and leave
8:48
that in the comments down below too
