Gold N Scorching Skilled Ionic Delicate Bonnet Hair Dryer | Cut back Frizz for Pure, Wholesome-Wanting Hair

This worked on my locs!
I’ve only used this once since I purchased it, but it did exactly what I needed it to do. I read any and all reviews from users who had locs to get info on how it worked for them. And most of the reviews said it took a long time to dry, but that it worked. Well, now I can confirm!I have locs that are about 3ft long, and one of my main concerns when washing my hair is whether they’ll dry all the way through and how long it will take. So I’ll report on that for anyone else who may have the same questions.1) First I made sure to remove as much moisture from my hair (after washing and before twisting it) as possible, so that it wouldn’t get messy in the bonnet. I did have to get strategic on how I loaded my locs up into the bonnet once I was done twisting them though. I dried them in sections. I dried my scalp first, then put the rest of my locs in the bonnet to dry the middle sections and the ends. Then about every 30 minutes until fully dry, I would part my hair at different places to allow a different section of my hair to receive the maximum air flow and dry.2) It generally takes about 3-4 hours to dry my hair all the way through in a shop, and guess what? It took about 4 hours to dry my hair under this bonnet on Medium. And all of the things I did in the first section are all of the things I have to do when I’m under the shop dryer too. I mean, don’t get me wrong, 4 hours is a long time, but I put on two movies and by the time I finished the second movie, my hair was done. I was terrified that I’d be under there for 6+, so for me, this was a nice surprise.3) The dryer is loud. Maybe it’s because I read previous reviews that I wasn’t annoyed by how loud it was, but it was loud. I sometimes put the captions on on my TV, but I HAD to put the captions on if I wanted to know what they were saying in the movies. My dog didn’t care much for the noise either. But by the 2nd hour she got used to it to the point that she even fell asleep to the nice loud hum of the dryer. lolI didn’t take any pictures at the time, but I was surprised by how well my hair turned out. I think I was so tired by the time my hair was dry the I was just ready to go to bed (I washed my hair at night.. I won’t do that again). My old hair shop is now charging nearly $250 for wash and loc maintenance, which is just ridiculous. I know that I’m paying for the service of having someone else care for my hair and massage my scalp and all that, but the longest part of the whole service is mostly me sitting underneath the dryer. I spend about 1 hour at the wash bowl and in the service chair. The rest of that time is me sitting under the dryer for 3 hours. So, yes, I think this is ridiculous. Until I find another shop, I’ll have to find another way to treat myself to something nice and save myself $250. Or maybe I’ll just keep doing my own hair and find other ways to spend (save) that money. If I have any complaints at all, they don’t have anything to do with the actual dryer. The dryer cord is about 2 ft long. It would be nice if it was longer, but it’s doable. And besides being loud, my parted off locs weren’t as clean as when my hairdresser does it, but it wasn’t that far off though, and I’m hoping that I’ll get better at it the more reps I have at it.I’ll upload pictures next time I do my hair. I’m about 2 weeks out, so I’ll wait and take fresh pics next time.

Gets hot but the cap doesn’t completely inflate 100%.
I have used these type of soft bonnet portable hair dryersfor over 20 years. I’ve only used this one once, since it arrived a week ago.I will say that it’s “not” as horribly LOUD as the REVLON brand I had prior, and it dries really well on the Medium heat setting. And even that gets a bit too hot after about 25 mins.But, there’s no way I could tolerate the High setting. Phew!🌡🔥But WHY don’t ANY of them ever inflat with air ALL THE WAY AROUND inside the bonnet??? 🤔😩So, as always, I end up rotating the bonnet with the hose attached midway through my drying time.It sure would be fantastic if a manufacturer of those bonnets could finally make one that circulates the air flow evenly!

Exactly What I was Looking For
I was a little skeptical after reading some of the reviews, but I am already a fan of Gold n Hot so I took a chance. The instructions aren’t the easiest to figure out – the bonnet was really STUFFED into the side compartment – but it was easy to assemble once the bonnet was out. A lot of reviews said the hose doesn’t stay connected, but I twisted it until it clicked and had no issues. I put the unit on my bedside table and literally took a nap while I dried my hair. The middle setting worked perfectly, and the white noise was calming and soothing. My hair was dry after about a half hour. Mind you I have long locs, so the bonnet was perfect in that gravity wasn’t a factor so there was no pulling at my roots. NOTE: I would recommend buying some of those little plastic “ear covers” if you have sensitive ears like mine. I recommend this dryer. Great value for the money.

Once I use it smoke comes out and bad smell I have returned back

The dryer is very loud.
