Parlux 3200 Hair Dryer

Hi everyone!

I need to get a hairdryer and someone mentioned the Parlux line (www.parlux.it). I am interested in their 3200 model. Now there are 2 versions. The ceramic and ionic one and the compact one. They both have:

1900W
69 cubic metres/hr
4 temperatures 2 speeds
Cool shot
Weigh 490g

The compact one is 20cm! But it does not specify whether the compact model is ceramic and ionic! Any ideas?

Well i just wanted to know if anyone ever tried these hair dryers, if yes how did you find them? I still don't know which model and colour to get!

Thanks everyone!

Re: Parlux 3200 Hair Dryer

just to update: i purchased the compact model and it IS ceramic and ionoc. It's small and lightweight but still has all the features of the normal 3200 model so it's great for travelling too! i will be using it this afternoon for the first time but it is a model that professional hairdressers use!

Re: Parlux 3200 Hair Dryer

i've just discovered that this is one of the most popular hairdryers used by hair dressers and salons here in Malta - it's so lightweight and great! i am using it with the straightening brush that i'm raving about produced by a brand called Kent - it's such an amazing combination.

The result is ultra straight sleek hair! wow - i can't believe the results myself!

Re: Parlux 3200 Hair Dryer


so that's a pic of the Parlux 3200 compact hairdryer, and here is the Kent straightening brush (amazing - i still can't believe it):



I also used KMS Flat Out Lite Relaxing Creme on my wet hair before i started blowdrying:

and a little KMS Flat Out weightless shine spray before i started blow drying and then sprinkled some more after the blow dry to maximise shine:



Now on Wednesday I will be getting Matrix's Sleek.look shampoo, conditioner and serum! And on Saturday I'm getting a trim!

By the way i have VERY fine hair so the products I used may not be suitable for coarse hair - just a thought - but if anyone does try them with coarse hair let us know - but this is my experience with my fine hair!

If anyone needs more info please let me know - i'll try to post a pic soon (of the back of my hair lol)!

Re: Parlux 3200 Hair Dryer

I've been researching dryers too and am considering the T3 Tourmaline, which is ionic and ceramic--whatever that means. Can anyone vouch for this brand? By the way, I think I saw attachments available for sale for the T3 on folica.com. One aside--the CHI ionic ceramic is supposed to be the top choice in a review in the Wall Street Journal but several reviewers online said it gets really hot.

I've tried the T3 at a trade show, and I wasn't very impressed. For the price it is, it was kinda disappointing. It also gets VERY hot. I use the CHI Rocket, and I love it...

Re: Parlux 3200 Hair Dryer

Thanks for that info! The CHI rocket looks great, but I hadn't seen any reviews for it; it's new, I guess. Which flat iron do you like? Is the sedu ionic ceramic a good one?

Honestly I'm not really a big flat iron user... I would say CHI is a popular one, but I have heard the Sedu has some good reviews too. I just have a Remington one, and it's fine for the rare times I'd use it... but you could always check out our review section for some info, or epinions.

I need a good blow drier recommendation. Everytime I buy one they either burn out or throw sparks! LOL

Re: Parlux 3200 Hair Dryer

Thanks Hissycat! It's all in the tools (And if you look at my profile pic, you'll see my hair is actually wavy/curly --- I've been trying to perfect straightening w/o an iron for years, so I've gotten pretty good at it lol)

How much are you looking to spend Amethyst?? And how do you usually style your hair?

I always dry & wear my hair the same way every day - straight (because my hair is Japanese straightened).

I prefer to keep the cost under $70 if that's at all possible to find a good drier for that amount.

thanks

Round ceramic vented barreled brushes with thin plastic bristles. (Boar or natural bristles tend to cause too much static) You want one at least 2.5 -3" in diameter for the bulk straightening, then one 2" or so for the ends if you like to curl them under or for some flip.

I absolutely LOVED my Vidal Sassoon "Ionizer" dryer!!! It was like only $25 and came with a brush and (kinda basic) flat iron. This dryer was awesome!! I dont' see it on Ulta's website anymore... but check your local stores. There are a few different "ionizer" dryers by VS --- I just don't know if they're as good as THIS one in particular. My friend even uses them in her salon... lol

If you are looking for a good hair dryer I recommend you the one I use, it's the Karmin Salon Pro Professional Hair Dryer which is awesome, it dries my hair really fast and keeps it smooth, shiny and with volume.  If you are interested you can check it out at hairproductspro . com . Good luck girl. :D
