It has been a fun experience experimenting and learning how to use this dryer for my particular hair.
My hair is past shoulder length in the back and a little shorter on the sides and bone straight, fine, but thick.
My hair is also highlighted. I say this because the hairdryer, both on regular operation or in air wave operation is gentle, non frizzing and never too hot.
It does a beautiful job as a regular dryer.
The air wave system is the fun. So far, trying different methods, I have found:
1. hair should be more on the wet side, not dripping tho.
2. use a styling lotion, mousse etc....whatever you prefer.
3. you may wish to go back to a section again and again for more umph.
4. you may wish to dry the top of your hair the way you usually do, i.e. bangs etc.
5. Give the waves TIME to set, get dressed, make the bed etc.
6. Separate hair waves, you can actually use a wide plastic brush or comb to give volume here and there.
7. When setting with spray, scrunch and lift and
Vavoom.....it is a whole new you!!
DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED. EACH TIME YOU TRY IT, YOU WILL GET BETTER AND MORE CREATIVE AND FIND THE WAVE LOOK FOR YOU!

This is an amazing product! You just put a section of hair in the little attachment and move the dryer up/down. Your hair isn't actually wrapping around anything--it just has this tornado effect from the dryer. I shoot it with cold air and after a few minutes I fluff my hair & have beachy hair waves. The curl lasts all day! It is amazing & works so easily. My hair actually seems healthier & shiny. Love Love Love It! PS: Use some beach spray like Philip B. Maui Wowie or Blow NY Beach Spray...makes the dryer work even better.

I love this blowdryer so much. Ive tried everything to get those beachy effortless waves in my hair. I have tried curling irons, straightening irons, 3 barrel wavers, pillow rollers, bendy rollers, braiding, bunning.. This BY FAR does the best job with the least effort. Dry your roots with the concentrator provided then the dry the rest of your hair until it is 85% dry. Then I just section my hair into 8, place them in the barrel for about 30 seconds and it looks great after. It takes me around 10 minutes to do my entire head from stepping out of the shower. The bigger the sections placed in the barrel the looser the waves are. I scrunch them with hair wax after and it lasts all day! By the way, I have pin straight, thick hair that is up to my chest.

BEST INVENTION EVER!

I have long, thin, stick-straight hair and I have always envied the beachy wavy hair look that some girls get naturally. I've tried everything in the last 10 years to get this effect: sleeping in sponge curlers, three-pronged curling irons, sleeping in braids, etc, etc. They all either made my hair look crimped, or just didn't hold at all. This dryer is great. It give me that all over mermaid look without looking unnatural like the crimpers do. I had read reviews saying this worked for girls with naturally curly hair and wasn't sure it would work for straight hair, but I'm happy to say that it does! I'm going to experiment with things like using bigger sections of my hair for bigger waves, and starting out with my hair a bit more damp!

I needed a new hairdryer and this was on special, so I thought why not. I read through all the other reviews to get a feel for how this worked before I tired it out. It actually worked the first time I used it. My hair is almost shoulder length, fine, and thin. I washed and conditioned my hair like usual. I used phomoliant with a drop of anti-frizz serum, mixed them up, and applied evenly throughout my hair. I pulled out my longer side-swept bangs and put them where I wanted them and just let the rest of my hair air dry until it was slightly damp. I did not section off my hair. I have no patience or coordination for that type of thing. I did lift the upper layers and put them over the top of my head as I dried 1-2 inch sections with the wave attachment. I used it on the hot setting for about a minute and then I used a cold blast for a few seconds. I did the sides and top of my hair first. Then I moved to the back of my hair, which i found to be more complicated because I could not see it. I started at the top and worked my way down. I used a mirror to make sure I got the entire back of my head. I noticed that some my hair was in longer wavy strands and some of it was in little bun like curls. I am not sure why it was so random. It could have been the angle of the dryer? I left my hair like this while I got dressed. Then I ran my fingers through my hair. Wow! Did I have the most amazing waves and body ever! Nothing ever curls my hair, but this did it for me. The smaller the sections, the curlier the hair. The larger the sections, the wavier the hair. It was surprisingly easy to use and didn't take much longer than a regular blow dry. It was certainly much quicker than drying and using a curling iron. I recommend this tool for anyone that is not talented with using hair tools and has a hard time getting their hair to curl. My waves last three days at a time!

I have stick-straight fine hair that NEVER curls unless I spend a whole night and day in old fashioned sponge rollers. And I didn't expect this dryer to work... but it does!! I just finished using it for the first time to see what happened and even with my less than perfect sectioning, my hair has great, relaxed, natural looking waves! It was really easy, I LOVE this dryer. Only next time, I might start or finish by drying the top of my hair as usual for a bit more body. But I look forward to experimenting.
In addition to the curling feature, the dryer itself is nice--it's powerful and gets the job done.
If it can get my hair to do something other than hang there, it will work for you too!

Upon reading the reviews on here, I decided to give this a try A - because it was cheap and B - I like the wavy hair look. I have really long highlighted hair and I must say, even using it without the attachment, my hair dries much smoother than my other hair dryer, and fast! The Airwave attachment takes a little getting used to, I agree with tips from previous reviewers, and I do dry the bangs/roots first before using the Airwave. But it really makes nice, full waves that last through the day even with very long hair! Excellent find :)

This hairdryer has a powerful cyclone type effect and will take your hair into the airwave and curl it. I have long hair and had no issue getting my hair into the "tunnel". Unfortunately however, the curl result was quite limp and looked perhaps like after you braid your hair and then take it out. Perhaps this might work for people with thick hair but for my hair, which is very thin, the cyclone effect was wasted. I ended up removing the attachment which easily comes off and using the hair dryer just as you would any other average hair dryer.

This was touted on online forums as *the* way to get lovely beachy waves. The machine does twirl the hair into the vortex area and it does apply heat while it's being spun. My super-long fine hair did not appreciate this treatment, and I was very afraid that the machine was going to snag the ends and cause breakage. If I had shorter hair (hair that I could gently feed a section into the machine) it might work better, but I don't... so it didn't. Use with caution, my long-haired lovelies. You don't want to ruin 6 months worth of growth on this contraption.

I bought this to help my eternally straight hair. The thing is, it takes SO long to do every twist. Plus your arms get tired. Not fun. Kind of sucks. I think it would be easier to twist strands, bobby pin and sleep!
It works great as a hair dryer and the 'cold air' shot helps to not damage my hair but all in all, not worth it to me!
