Product Description

Amazon.com

A welcome alternative to handheld dryers, the Jerdon soft-bonnet hair dryer uses a flexible 40-inch hose and a large plastic bonnet to create an all-over drying environment for shorter styles or hair in rollers. This design dries hair without blowing it around, drying it unevenly, or creating damaging hot spots. Assembly and operation is quick and simple--just attach the hose to the bonnet and tie the bonnet over your hair. The bonnet is sized to accommodate extra-large rollers, and a drawstring secures it around your head. Keep in mind that bonnet drying does take longer--anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes, depending on hair length and condition. On the upside, it leaves your hands free for the rest of your grooming routine. This dryer can also be used for deep-conditioning treatments or without the bonnet for quick spot-drying. Compact and slim, its storage case is very tidy, if not burly, and includes interior power cord storage and a recessed carrying handle. The unit comes with a 1-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so portable bonnet dryer, November 22, 2003

This review is from: Jerdon JSBD4 Soft Bonnet Hair Dryer (Health and Beauty)

The look of this bonnet dryer is great, the price is right, and the bonnet is large enough to cover a head full of jumbo rollers. The flaw is in the design of the hose and the cord. Both pieces attach to the unit in such a way as to make closing the cover impossible. If the flexible hose and cord had been attached to the outside and allowed to recess into their respective spaces from that point, the cover could be closed and the user could walk around and do other things while drying the hair. Bonnet dryers take longer to dry hair than hand-held blow dryers -- it can take up to an hour to dry long, thick hair wrapped around medium rollers for a curly look. Thus, the need for portability. However, they can be used for conditioning treatments and have a gentler effect on the hair. Better choices are the Vidal Sassoon Soft Bonnet Dryer (about $29.00) and the Hot Tools Soft Bonnet Hair Dryer, Model 1051. The latter is more expensive at $45; however, I believe that it is also the most powerful. You get what you pay for. Finally, for treatments and dyeing, users of blow dryers can buy bonnet attachments with elasticized extensions that slip over the nozzle end of the blow dryer. They range from $10-$15.

2.0 out of 5 stars Impossible Bonnet, March 20, 2004

Only Marge Simpson could possibly accommodate this out-sized hair bonnet. Material was stiff and edges cut into one's neck. Also almost impossible to stuff back into designated compartment.
Too bad; in theory the unit was just what I needed.

When I saw this dryer I thought it was cute. When I received it I found out that the bonnet ties around your neck. It never tied close enough to my head. Then when I turned on the dryer, I didn't feel any air. I had to pull apart the sides of the bonnet to let the air circulate. The bonnet is made of a harder plastic than your normal bonnets. Then when it was time to put the dryer away, I couldn't get the hose and the cord to fit back in it's compact area. Hardly no space for it to fit.
