BarbaraJ Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 my mum (80) would like a new one for christmas.i need something light as shes tiny and fairly weak, which is not too expensive. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I had an old Boots folding travel hairdryer that lasted well over 20 years and finally gave up the ghost last year. Unfortunately this was just as I was about to go on holiday. I was going to the hairdresser's anyway and bought one of their GHD travel hairdryers. I think it was a bit pricey but I didn't have time to go anywhere else! It has been excellent - very light, good amount of power, heat isn't too high, I could manage it even with a broken wrist and broken leg! But I'd check out Boots and see what they've got on offer - it will probably be cheaper and last for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 There are a few lightweight ones - I was looking at one for my Mum before she passed away earlier this year. The Boots site is useful because if I remember,they have the weights of all the hairdryers listed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I've got this one and it is light. http://www.boots.com/en/Nutriheat-Hair-Nutrition-Dryer_125034/ However I wouldn't recommend it. The reason I bought it was because of the Nutri heat shine inserts that are suppose to make your hair shiny and nourised, I found they made my hair greasy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
