The Wavytalk Blown Away is a 1875W ionic hair dryer sold with a diffuser, a concentrator nozzle, and a comb attachment. The ionic generator is the part that matters for curly and wavy hair: negative ions break water droplets down faster and flatten the cuticle, which cuts drying time and reduces the halo of frizz you get from a standard dryer. It runs three heat settings and two speeds with a cool shot, and the diffuser bowl is deep enough to cup a full handful of curls rather than just skimming the ends. At just over three pounds it is not the lightest dryer on the market, but the motor holds power through a full blowout. Best fit: curly and wavy routines, anyone diffusing daily, and people who want ionic drying without four-figure pricing.

Frequently asked questions
Does it come with a diffuser or is that separate?
The diffuser is included, along with a concentrator nozzle and a comb attachment. There is nothing else to buy.
How is this different from a regular hair dryer?
The ionic generator emits negative ions that break water droplets into smaller pieces and help seal the cuticle. In practice that means faster drying and less frizz, most noticeably on wavy and curly hair.
Is it heavy to hold for a long blowout?
It is just over three pounds, which is heavier than premium dryers. If you have long thick hair and blow dry for 20 minutes, you will feel it.
Can you use it on low heat for heat-damaged hair?
Yes. It has three heat settings including a low option plus a cool shot button for setting the style without added heat.
Does the cord swivel?
Yes, it has a swivel cord, which keeps it from twisting up when you rotate the dryer around your head.
