Both companies make affordable tourmaline ionic hair dryers, but the Conair Infiniti is much cheaper than the BaByliss PRO TT (Race 2) Tourmaline 3000. So does this make Conair the best buy, or does the BaByliss cost more because it offers more ? Here’s what you get and don’t get with both dryers.

If you are looking to replace your old hair dryer, make sure you choose one that is ionic and has ceramic and tourmaline components. Basically, traditional dryers produce a lot of positive ions that are extremely bad for your hair, while ionic dryers produce negative ions that help seal the cuticle and retain moisture in the hair shaft. Negative ions also break down water droplets into much smaller droplets that evaporate quickly and can even be absorbed by the hair, meaning you get faster drying times with less damaged hair that looks shinier and feels smoother. healthier.

Ceramic is used for the heating element as it produces an even distribution of heat and also self-regulates so that the heat stays at the desired temperature. Ceramic also produces infrared heat that dries hair from the inside out, helping to reduce heat damage.

Tourmaline is a gemstone that naturally emits many negative ions. When incorporated into dryer components, the maximum possible amount of negative ions is obtained.

The Conair hair dryer (Infiniti Professional Tourmaline Ionic Styler) retails for almost half the cost of the BaByliss and is excellent value for money. Despite being cheaper than most other brands, you get a professional 1875 watt motor that compares favorably to the 1900 watt motor that comes with the BaByliss. In addition to the price, it beats its competitor to the extent that you not only get a concentrator but also a tourmaline ceramic diffuser – the BaByliss Carrera 2 does not come with a diffuser.

However, the BaByliss hair dryer comes with more heat/speed settings: 3 heat and 3 speed compared to the Conair’s 3 heat and 2 speed settings (both come with a cool shot button).

Cable length can be an important consideration and once again BaByliss outperforms its competitor, coming with a generous 9′ cable compared to just 7′.

Another very important point to consider when buying a hair dryer is how much it weighs. Using one can become very tiring, so it’s important to find a lightweight model. The Conair Infiniti weighs 3.45 pounds, but the BaByliss only weighs 1.26 pounds. Once again, this makes the Carrera a clear winner.

If the appearance of an appliance is important to you, you can be sure that both are very stylish and elegant in appearance and will not disgrace your dresser.

In conclusion, the Conair hair dryer is a great buy if you’re on a budget and don’t need a third speed setting and don’t mind being a bit heavy. However, there is no doubt that the BaByliss hair dryer pushes its competitor to second place and is really worth spending a little more.
