Customer Reviews of Infiniti by Conair SD8R Tourmaline Ceramic Styler, Black
Customer Review: Works for This One-Handed Wonder!
Summary: 5 Stars
Having just gotten the hang of using a round brush and manipulating a dryer at the same time, it was a real problem when my left hand became completely paralyzed. I had a choice of trying to hang my regular dryer between my thumb and index finger - thus risking a concussion daily - or having an endless string of bad hair days. Since neither was an acceptable solution, I began looking for a workable alternative.
After looking through the dryers/stylers that Amazon offered, I decided on the Infiniti SD8. Conair's Infiniti SD8 Styler met my needs and gave me the freedom to, once again, style my own hair. The 1875 watts provides quick drying, without burning. I use a semi-permanent color on my hair, so you know this dryer will dry without burning more delicate locks. I use the double comb attachment to begin drying and then switch to the brush attachment to finish styling. I do use a hot iron or hot brush to finish off the ends of my hair; they have a tendency to flip upward regardless of the method I use to style my hair. Again, this is an individual hair challenge, so if your hair cooperates with you most of the time this dryer/styler is a fine choice.
The Infiniti's attachments are easy to put on and take off with one hand; that was a real plus for me. I do wish Conair had a brush with plastic bristles and ball tips available for this styler; that would make styling even easier and more closely akin to using a round brush and hand-held dryer. The dryer is a bit heavy, but not so much so as to cause me to down-grade it. It also takes a day or two to become accustomed to using it without feeling awkward. Those two factors should not deter you from purchasing this product if you are in need of a compact dryer/styler.
I can definitely recommend the Conair Infiniti SD8 Styler for anyone needing a reasonably compact dryer/styler, whether you are a two-handed or, like me, a one-handed operator.
Customer Review: Works great on thick hair
Summary: 4 Stars
The Conair SD8 Tourmaline Ceramic Hairdryer is great for anyone who has thick hair that takes forever to dry. I am Latina so my hair is very dense and naturally curly. I tried out all the attachments and the one that works the best is the straightening double comb. I was able to dry my hair in half the time it normally takes. The hairdryer dried my hair straight but it did not leave it does not leave it in a smooth/polish look. I still had to use a flat iron for the finish look but it took less time than what I am used to. Tourmaline ceramic ionic technology smooths down cuticles to help reduce frizz and leave hair more manageable and easy to manage/style. The technology also reduces that static that we makes our hair stand up straight.
At 1875 watts it is very powerful and has a very forceful air flow. However, I do wish it came with a medium heat setting since the low setting is not powerful enough and the high setting has too much power for bangs and the hair that frames the face. It is a little bit louder in the high setting mode, but don't worry you get use to it. It is lightweight and easy to hold. The swivel cord is a great feature, the cord does not get tangle up while switching hands or sides.
Attachments/Features:
Bristle styling brush attachment
Wide tooth detangling comb attachment
Double row Tourmaline Ceramic coated fine tooth straightening comb
Easy to clean filter compartment
Cool Shot button
Overall, if you are looking for an affordable powerful hairdryer that dries your dry quickly and leaves it in a more manageable way for easier styling - the Infiniti SD8 by Conair is a great option.
Customer Review: Doesn't straighten my hair completely, but dries quickly
Summary: 4 Stars
The design of the dryer is really unique; I haven't really seen a barrel-less one before. As it turns out, I prefer it. It doesn't blow my hair everywhere (I have medium, curly hair) which cuts down on the frizziness, lessens heat blown into my face and controls it better for styling, and it cut my drying time by at least 5 minutes. It's still somewhat loud, but not nearly as awkward to hold since it's like a big hairbrush. Traditional dryers with a concentration attachment left me grappling with a round brush to style it properly, and this dryer eliminated that need.
By using the straightening attachment, I can get away with having my hair unironed; it just looks really thick and wavy, which is a nice change and appearance-acceptable time saver, though I was hoping it would be straighter. It saves my ironing time as well; by not starting out with my hair curly, my straightening time went from 40 minutes to about 15-20. I don't really use the other two attachments, although I can see how some would find them useful.
My mother tried this dryer and really liked how it dried as well, and her hair is fairly straight naturally. I would definitely recommend this dryer for most hair types.
Customer Review: Thoroughly impressed!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't saw WOW very often, but I did when I used this blow dryer. Drying my hair normally takes about forty minutes, and even then my hair is a puffy mess that isn't thoroughly dry. Using this hair dryer my drying time went to 15 minutes, and my hair was pretty much completely straight and barely frizzy at the end. I will still use my flat iron for a finished look, but I'd be okay to leave the house after just drying my hair now.
I was hesitant to get this kind of dryer at first, as I have never had one and am accustomed to the seven shaped dryer. I can't believe how much better this is, though. My arm wasn't killing my after 10 minutes of holding it, and the comb attachments make life SO much easier. I don't even need to come my hair through before I dry each section of hair like I used to!
...needless to say, I'm excited by this product. I really suggest it to anyone that has super thick, long hair like I do and wants to cut down their drying and styling time (and save their arm!).
Hope this helps!
Customer Review: Great Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this product because my hair is hard to fix and takes forever to dry because of how thick it is (I have a ton of hair and it's wavy). Before I bought this I used a hair dryer (which took forever to dry my hair and didn't really straighten my hair) and a flat iron to straighten my hair. This product completely replaces both of those things. It dries and straightens your hair all at once and is so much faster than using a hair dryer or straightener. It's also good at curling your hair under as you're straightening it. It comes with three different attachments and all are good. My favorite is the dual row straightening comb.Another good thing about this product is I don't feel it ripping my hair the way my flat iron sometimes does, and also the swivel cord makes it easy to handle. After drying/straightening my hair with this product, I applied a serum to smooth down frizzy hair and I was ready to go.
