This giveaway is closed. Congratulations, Lori.

When my hair dryer went dead the other day, I was given the opportunity to try Babyliss Pro Ionic Ceramic Hair Dryer from Flat Iron Experts. I had asked my stylist a while or so back, what made a professional hair dryer so great?! She rambled on about something that did not necessarily sell me. When trying the hair dyer there were a few things that stood out 1.) The weight – it is not heavy 2.) The heat disbursement – it did not heat up only one part of my hair causing it to get hot to the touch 3.) The Wind – It was much quieter than I am used to and sort of sounded like wind (from a windy day) hitting my ear. Much more relaxing than the loud screaming noise I am used to.

The Science Behind the Dryer:

  • 1625 watts
  • Dual ionic chambers produce a steady stream of negative ions
  • Ceramic grill radiates negative ions for maximum performance
  • High heat and extra powerful airflow
  • Professional long life AC motor
  • Compact design and ergonomic handle offers more styling control and comfort
  • Weights less and delivers more air pressure and higher heat than standard full size dryer
  • 2 speed and 3 heat settings
  • Cool shot button
  • AC 110V 60Hz for use in USA/Canada
  • One-year limited warranty

Of 7 reviews, the hair dryer has a 5 out of 5 stars. Buys mentioned feeling happy with hair feeling soft, dry time reduced by more than half, and the reduction of heat (it does not feel too hot on their hair.)


Flat Iron Experts currently have the Babyliss Pro Ionic Ceramic Hair Dryer reduced to $109.95 (from $139.99). Plus, when you spend $75, you get FREE S&H. When you shop their site, you can feel comfortable knowing you are going to like what you got.

  1. Rachelle says

    I would love the Babyliss Pro Ionic Ceramic Hair Dryer because I have a newborn and any less time I can spend on drying my thick hair would be wonderful!!

  4. Nikki Eddy says

    You don’t wanna know why my hair is so difficult to dry. It is because it is THICK THICK THICK! It used to be waist length and it was lovely when I got pregnant because it thinned out and I was able to cut it short. Now we’re back to long and thick again and in this humidity I usually just put it up wet and let nature do it’s thing. My hubs and I went out the other night and I used a hair dryer (first time in a long time) and it was frizz central. I would love something like this that actually works! thanks for the giveaway :)

  7. Kelly Rogge says

    It is hard to dry my hair because I have not found a good hair dryer. I have 3 kids so I am always get interuped and end up burning patches of hair…LoL or the baby is sleeping and the noise of my current dryer is sooo loud I am affraid to use it. It would be sooo nice to have a wonderful hair dryer like this one to make is easier!

  8. April Fox says

    I hate blow drying my hair because it takes so long. I have naturally thick hair that takes me about 20 minutes to dry, so I am constantly looking for something that would make this easier!!

  9. April Fox says

    I’m a huge facebook fan!!

    I hate blow drying my hair because it takes so long. I have naturally thick hair that takes me about 20 minutes to dry, so I am constantly looking for something that would make this easier!!

  11. Holly says

    I have wanted one of these for years, but never have the money to buy one!!! I have long, curly hair that takes forever to dry. It’s fine on top of being curly, so most days it’s just a frizz-ball :-( I have to use a diffuser on my current hairdryer, and it has to be on a low setting so it won’t damage my already sensitive hair. It takes me almost an hour to COMPELTELY dry my hair, so most days I do the best I can and let it partially air dry b/c my hairdryer just doesn’t do the trick. Figuratively speaking, I would give my right arm to have the BaByliss!!! It would mean no more frizzy, yucky, half-wet hair days (and I think any girl would be grateful to see those end)!!!!

  14. Sarah Mc says

    It’s difficult to dry my hair for acouple of reasons. It’s super long and fairly thick so it takes forever with my cheap-o dryer. It’s also super loud which scares my 18 mos. old twins so I try not to do it very often to freak them out. Anything to make the process less painful for all would be awesome!

  16. Dawn M. says

    I have really thick, coarse, curly hair. It is the thickest hair my physics teacher ever saw since we measured it using a micrometer and he insisted I had read it wrong. He yanked a piece out and measured it then passed it around to the class! It takes forever and fights me every step of the way when I try to blow it out straight!

  19. savannah kreger says

    I have very long hair, so it takes a long time to dry, thankfully it’s not super thick

  22. Kara says

    I don’t like blow drying my hair because it takes sooo long! I have pretty thick hair so anything to make blow drying easier/quicker would be wonderful!

  28. Alyse Anliker says

    I am a busy working mother, wife, chaffeur, shopper, etc. Anything that would speed up the amount of time it takes me to get ready in a plus in my book! Thank you for offering this giveaway!

  33. Melissa says

    I have a problem with frizzy hair after I blow dry. My hair has natural curl and waves and blow drying makes it very frizzy. I also have thick hair so I spend a lot of time with the blow dryer!!

  34. Katy P says

    Drying my hair is difficult because it is long- I usually let it air dry rather than spend the extra time.

  39. kristy russell-smith says

    I already receive your emails and added you to my facebook as of yesterday! I would love a new hair dryer that could dry my thick hair in half the time and that might allow me to hear my baby monitor in the process!

  40. Sara says

    I have semi-dry hair and my blow-dryer doesn’t help that. But if I don’t dry it, it gets frizzy. I would love to try this one!

  45. Allison says

    I have really thick partially curly hair. It takes forever to blow dry. I have a two year old and finding the time to blow dry my hair is difficult if not impossible!

  48. Tandy says

    My hair isn’t hard to dry cause it’s thin & fine. But I do end up with a “halo” around my face from the frizz. Would love to remedy that.

  51. Rachel says

    Drying my hair is annoying b/c it takes to long, but if I dont’ do it, then my hair is an ugly, wavy, frizzy mess!

  55. Kieran says

    My hair is hard to dry because it is very thick, and has a hard-to-manage wavy texture, so it takes a very long time for my hair to get completely dry, and also gets very frizzy afterwards. Plus, the dryer I have now is SO loud, that even with my bathroom door shut, people can hear it DOWNSTAIRS. Ugh!

  63. Sharon says

    My hair dryer keeps turning off when it gets to hot and takes a while to cool down and turn on again.

  66. Sandra U. says

    1. Drying my hair is difficult because it’s thick…plus I don’t own a blow dryer so it takes forever to dry!

  71. Hana says

    I have a hard time drying my hair because it’s really long, tanlgely and takes a long time to dry.

  73. Tisha says

    My Hair Dryer tries to eat my hair every time it gets a chance. Not what you want first thing in the morning. We have a love hate relationship,

  74. brittany says

    drying my hair is difficult because i have two very young children and there is very little hair-drying time in my home (if any!). my old dryer just doesnt cut it!

  80. Kari says

    My hair has to be blow dryed or it is a frizzy mess. I have long thick hair so it takes me forever. Sometimes I get half way done and just give up and throw it in a bun. It’s so frustrating.

  84. nan lara says

    drying my hair is difficult..cause i normally get frizz around my face
    nannypanpan at sbcglobal.net

  86. Amy says

    Drying my hair is hard with two little guys tugging at me-anything that cuts the drying time would be great!

  89. Jennifer says

    My hair turns straight to fizz if i try to blow dry normally, I need a diffuser and don’t have the patience a lot of the time

  94. Chantelle Duncan says

    I actually really love my dryer but it is super old and dying. :( This one sounds great!

  100. Suzy says

    My dryer had a retracting cord, but it broke and now I have an extension cord attached to it. So annoying. Would love a new one, especially a great one.

  101. Jackie says

    I really need something “New” Mine is old, retractable cord wont retract anymore and cord is always getting tangled. Also if it helps make hair softer IT’S FOR ME !! Since I have started to get gray, especially around my face (coloring very often) the colored grays are stiff and frizzy, I heed anything that may HELP !! Getting old STINKS !! Love your site !! Your site was the 1st place I learned to extreme coupon, now I save around 65 % every week, THANKS !!!

  102. Becky Bradshaw says

    I have really fine hair, but there’s alot and it is hard to dry. I don’t have the time to dry it slowly and my hair dryer works best on high.

  103. Melissa Zambito says

    Time is what stops be from drying my hair… with a 3 and a 4 year old that fight for my attention… who has time to dry their hair??? But for those occassions when I do have time… this dryer looks awesome!

  104. Tisha Stewart says

    After having my fourth baby, I discovered that my curly had returned. To make the most of it, I have to blow dry it on a low setting while scrunching. At least that works for my hairstylist! So there I am, trying to be quite in the morning, to not wake for sleeping kids, with my head upside down for close to 10 minutes. Then I think I am a little deaf for another 10! Long story short…I need peace and quite anytime I can get it–this is perfect for me!

  106. Megan says

    I really find it difficult to dry my hair due to it being extremely thick and curly/frizzy. It takes a long time due to the thickness and I love my hair straight, but it isn’t practical to dry my hair every morning.

  108. Megan says

    I get your RSS feed to one of my other email addresses so I can make sure to see it(not in my spam email address.) :D

  109. Carolyn says

    Living in FL (hot and humid, still in the 90’s), means I need to wash and dry my thicker, wavy, long hair everyday. What a chore! Anything to make it go quickly really saves time for a Mom like me, getting the kids dropped off at school on time is essential. Fingers crossed!

  114. Breanne Blanchard says

    I have a 4 month old and a 2 year old…that’s the only thing that makes drying my hair difficult :) It’s long and takes a long time…especially with my two babies.

  119. traci s says

    i have long thick hair so drying is difficult for me because it takes alot of time to get it dried all the way

  123. Marsha Breen says

    I have very difficult hair to manage. It frizzes up the longer it takes to dry so this would be perfect for me.

  125. hazel says

    I would love to win this for my middle-schooler. She needs a new blow drier for sure! She’s been using my 5 year old hair drier…

  126. Sheila says

    Drying my hair is difficult because my hair is very thick and it takes a long time to get dry. Also my current hair dryer is too loud.

  127. Sherril Theis says

    I have a tough time getting my hair dry because I have been blessed with a TON of hair. That plus the fact that I am prematurely gray makes blow drying a marathon event! Thanks for the giveaway chance and I also posted this info to Facebook.

  128. Haley Munson says

    I have had the same hair dryer for the last 7 years and it takes me about 20/25 minutes to fully dry my hair. It is also very thick hair. I have always wanted a salon hairdryer because it would take much less time to dry my hair. My husband and I are currently trying to get out of debt, we are on a tight budget. We are also raising support to be full time college missionaries. So money is tight. That is all! Thank you!

  129. Randi says

    Drying my hair is difficult because it’s very thick, plus it’s curly so I have to be careful about how I do it to prevent frizz. To top that off I dry 5 little girls hair all the time – that’s a lot of hair! :) Thanks!

  132. Pam Evans says

    The people who cut my hair always comment that cutting my hair takes so much more time –there is just a lot of it — coarse and thick, also making hair drying a long, noisy and uncomfortable process. How I would love a great hair dryer to make hair-drying time more enjoyable!

  134. Gina Wolf says

    I love your idea you have for your blog. I just started receiving your newsletter about a week ago and it’s really nicely done. I retweet a lot so will be doing this quite often. I also liked you on facebook and forwarded your newsletter to few friends I know are Groupon freaks..:)
    I am glad someone had this idea of combining all the groupon deals all in one and also other deals elswhere. Great job! I salute you on this !!!
    Okay, I blow dry my hair quite often but not every week simply because I have a lot of hair and it’s so hard to dry it quickly with the current conair dryer I have. I would love to be able to dry my hair twice a week with this blow hair dryer since it doesnt seem to cause damage and it’s a very good one. I also hate frizz cause by my current hair dryer. It’s just needs to be replace. Hope I win yours. Thanks and good luck to eveyone!

  137. Elizabeth says

    I find drying my hair difficult due to the fact that my hair is so thin and very friz prone. I know some people might roll their eyes at that since obviously thicker hair takes longer to blow dry, but I always end up with a frizzy mess. Lately I’ve resorted to air drying at night before bed just to cut down on some of the frizz around my forehead!

  139. Brenda B says

    I hate drying my hair because I have a lot of it. I try to let it air dry until it’s slightly damp, and then blow dry to finish it off, so I don’t get hot and sweaty again just after a nice shower!

  143. Lori S says

    I could really use this. We had a house fire 3 weeks ago and have to buy everything. So this would be one less thing to buy.

    Thanks

  146. jackie dube says

    I would love to win this, I am using an OLD hairdryer and I have to share with my teenage daughter and it takes forever to dry my hair……

  147. Lena says

    I have naturally curly, long and thick hair. Now before you say “wow, what a blessing” try drying it! :) I can go with it wet and just add gel to it but then it just looks stringy all day. Using a hairdryer gives it fulness and body. I always love the way it looks when I go get a hair cut so I would LOVE treating myself to that at home too.

  148. Bridget Pavelec says

    My hair is difficult to dry because I only have a small window to do it, if i wait to long it looks horrible.

  152. Katie Jol. says

    My dryer came over on the ark! In fact, it is on its last leg because it smells like smoke sometimes when I use it. :-/ Not good! It is a gorgeous powder blue that you just can’t find these days (please note my sarcastic tone). I must say that it did last a long time so a new one would be very welcomed. I’m picturing the swiffer commercial where the lady puts the old mop in the attic or outside in the trash and its all jealous when it sees the new mop. Picture that but with hairdryers..lol

  153. Shari says

    Drying my hair can be difficult. I put in earplugs because of the noise. I would love a quieter blower. I already receive your emails!! Thanks!

  154. Sue says

    Drying my hair is challenging because I have so much of it (seriously, it’s ridiculous) and the back is uber curly. For some reason when I blow dry my hair, it smokes. When I open the door after I’m done my husband laughs because smoke billows out of the bathroom. It is a chore to dry my hair and I hate how long it takes.

  156. Maegen says

    It is hard for me to find time to dry my hair because of my three kids. The comment that you made about it being quieter than a normal hair dryer sounds great to me because than I might be able to hear my kids over the sound of it (LOL the kids are loud). Mine is starting to smell like it is burning so a new one sounds like a good idea :)

  161. Breanne says

    Arggh my hair is very FINE and tangles like crazy. My current hair dryer sucks my hair up into the blow thingy…you can imagine why this is frustrating! I already receive your emails. LOVE them!

  162. Kerri says

    My hair is like a washcloth…..it literally soaks up water. It takes forever to dry. It is also hard for me to dry my hair because my son has associated me drying my hair with me leaving the house and he always thinks I will leave without him. If I had a quieter hair dryer, maybe he wouldn’t hear it and I could dry my hair without a screaming toddler clinging to my leg.

  166. Linda says

    Drying my hair is difficult because I don’t have one anymore. My sister stole it from me when she came to help me after my c-section. While she was here she used it all the time. She has gone back to FL. And my hair dryer has mysterisly disappered. :(

    So winning this, would be great!

  167. Angela says

    It wasn’t until I used a hair dryer at a friend’s house that I realized why it took so long to dry my hair – my dryer is NOT strong enough!

  168. Karen says

    I have a LOT of hair. The blowdryer that is in our home does not work well on my hair..It does not have enough power ..it takes 4 ever to dry my hair. So frustrating when others are waiting to go somewhere..I have to actually get up early or strart super early so that we won’t be late. Creates tension lol. I even got my hair cut shorter (not real short ;) ) to save time ugh. I could use a new dryer that does the trick.

  169. Michelle L. says

    Drying my hair can be difficult because it is fine and has the temdency to “wave” up and frizz out. I really could use a better way to dry my hair!

  174. Sarah says

    I have trouble with drying my hair because it seems like the hair dryers I have had in the past have been a little heavy. I have fibromyalgia and have a hard time holding my arm up for a long time while drying my hair and a heavy hair dryer doesn’t help. It would be great to have one that wasn’t so heavy! Thanks for the chance to win!!

  178. Wendy Snipes says

    Drying my hair is difficult because it takes so long, leaves my hair frizzy in spots. I would love to try a professional hair dryer once!

  181. Wendy Snipes says

    thanks for the giveaways and all the tips! I’ve really enjoyed your emails and browsing your site. Found some great deals!

  183. Joy says

    My hair is hard to dry because it has very different textures. I had a great dryer, but it has been dying for the past two years. I have been putting off buying a new one for a while.

  184. Alesha says

    My hair is difficult to dry because it’s a horse’s tail. No joke, my hair is extremely thick (thank you, mom!) and it takes me about 30 minutes (and two tired arms later) to dry it completely. And don’t get me started on the frizz after it’s dry… :D

  185. chelsee says

    My hair is really long and thick so it takes FOREVER to dry! I have been looking at getting a new dryer to help cut down on the time.

  191. Erin Bateman says

    My hair takes forever to dry…so I end up pulling it up a lot! This could be a timesaver in the morning.

  193. Jena Hillman says

    Drying hair with my current hair dryer is difficult because it takes so long and is just way too loud – can’t hear what trouble the children are getting in above that sound. :)

  199. Theresa McGinn says

    I am a fan on FB, and I recieve your e-mails..I love your site. My curling iron just died, and I have very thick curly hair, so just imagine what it looks like without using a curling iron! Frizz city..

  200. Dana says

    My hair is super thick so drying has always been a challenge. I would love to try something that would cut the time down!!

  201. Marin D says

    Drying my hair is difficult because it takes forever and then I get all hot and sweaty – which defeated the purpose of washing my hair in the first place. I often let it air dry but then it is a mess to style. LOL. I can’t win.

  202. Kelly says

    If I don’t blow dry my hair it is flat and unruly for the remainder of the day. Not to mention I just look so unprepared for the day. So the only way to look ‘hot’ as my husband calls it is to blow out my hair with a round brush. If this process isn’t followed to the ‘T’, then it’s up in a clip or pony tail.

  204. Audra says

    I have naturally fine and frizzy hair. Not a good combination. I could use a better hairdryer to manage it better!

  205. edmontonjb says

    My hair is difficult to dry because it is almost to my waist and quite thick. It is also wavy and frizzy so I have to take extra time ti try to tame it while I’m drying.

  209. Kayla Clary says

    Drying my hair is difficult because it is so THICK!!!! It takes forever to dry my hair, that’s why I unfortunately keep it short most of the time. I would love to grow it back out, but that requires a nice chunk of time out of my day! This blow dryer would be awesome, I love the product but am a grad student and can’t afford the price tag!

  211. Melissa L says

    I have very thick hair and it is frizzy! Whenever I blow dry my hair it just gets super frizzy. I would like to try this blow dryer. Thank you

  214. Debbie M says

    I have light fly away hair & it is getting damaged by my current blow dryer. So this ionic baby bliss blow dryer would be great!

  218. Shelly Sanders says

    I have a hard time drying my hair because it’s super thick and very, very curly. My current hairdryer is about 10 years old and just doesn’t work very well anymore. Frugal me doesn’t want to go out and buy a new one until this one dies completely!

  219. Stephanie Phelps says

    My hair is so difficult to dry because it is so thick and and acts like a sponge. It soaks up even the moisture in the air. You ever seen that commercial were the girl sticks her toe in the pool and her hair just goes nuts….that’s me!….I call it my chia pet because if I sweat the least little bit it begins to grow!

  223. Beth says

    I have a one year old….so doing anything is difficult ;).
    I also have naturally curly hair that gets frizzy if I dry it all the way.

  227. Shannon Cremeans says

    Drying my hair is very difficult as I have very long hair and it always ends up wet underneath my hair. I have a 6 month old who doesn’t allow me much time for anything anymore so I have to be quick when drying my hair as it is. I would love to have a blow dryer that would speed up the process!

  229. Shannon Cremeans says

    I am also a Facebook fan & look at your site several times a day. You always have the latest great deals. Thank you

  230. Wanda Ray says

    Because Ive never owned a good hair dryer! Everyone I know that has one says theres such a huge difference! Faster, smoother, softer hair! Without drying it out, flyaways, etc. I would love, love, love to win this!!
