Can I say the nothing wakes you up faster in the morning than getting hit in the chin by a retracting hairdryer cord? I found this out during current testing of a new hairdryer which has the latest and greatest technology from Vidal Sasson, including a retractable cord.

It is great for travelling, very easy to store in drawers when you aren’t using it and is ionic, which was essential. The only thing is you do have to be careful when retracting the cord. What is Ionic and why do you want and Ionic hairdryer? The claim is that they dry hair in up to half the time of conventional professional hairdryers. Create a shinier and more protected finish in less time and with no static. It is also claimed to help repair chemically treated dry or badly damaged hair.

So with all this in mind, what do I think? Well the product is still in the evaluation stage and I will update you in a few months time. But so far so good. Given that my last hairdryer cost three times as much and had none of the features this one has, it looks promising, plus its Ionic!

The drier is readily available from Farmers stores, so that’s also a big plus.

I do like the retractable cord, it is neat and tidy to store and travel with. Once you master the viciousness with how the cord retracts, you will be fine.

Hot tip when retracting the cord, hold the dryer in one hand and the cord in the other so when it goes back in it won’t hit you in the chin like it did to me.

So stay tuned for an update in a few months.
