20 Best Soft Bonnet Hair Dryer Reviews (2023 Updated)

I have upgraded from the basic hand held hair dryer to this bonnet stand dryer. Can I say AWESOME!!! Did not know what I was missing until I purchased it. Some people have to see it to believe well this is an item that you would want to add to your household.

It literally cuts dry time in half. I like to wet set my hair with rollers yes somewhat old school but it cuts down on the day to day wear-n-tear of constantly putting heat on the hair which ultimately helps your hair to be healthier.

If you are on the fence about purchasing this item I’d say JUMP. You will not regret this purchase.

I can’t believe the effing picture of this wratchet broken box they have to represent this product! But, here we go. I have an elderly aunt (93) who has her hair done in the home. Bought this for her hairsresser (a new one) who had to learn how to do “old lady ” hair.

Anyway, easy to set up, very powerful and all that we needed. Goood value for what it is.

Wife only used it once because we just got it. But she loves it. Seems sturdy enough. It’s really not compact just look at it. It’s as compact as it’s going to get. I guess it would be if you take it apart every time you use it but that would be a waste of time but for those who could roll it to a place that it’s not in the way then that would be ideal and convenient.

But 5 stars so far. We would recommend it.

I’m often experimenting with my hair and adding curls. This is perfect for comparable salon drying time and results. It gets hot and is very effective in drying my hair in a reasonable amount of time.

The size of it is a bit bulky, but it also folds down to a workable size. I like mine so much I’ve bought 2 over the years. I actually ended up giving one to a friend. These also last a long time. I’ve had mine for over 5 years and it still does what it’s supposed to.

This is a very convenient hair dryer that doesn’t burn your head! Yaaaaaaaaay!! Finally an old-school dryer that works. Recommended.

I love this dryer. It was easy to put it together. The only negative thing is that its very loud even on low settings. This could be because Im not use to sitting under a dryer. But overall I really love it! I would recommend it.

Can this dryer be used behind any chair? And is it recommended? I’ve use the portable floor type with wheel base. I feel like the base takes up too much floor space. Also heat is high and low setting, nothing in between.

Looking to dry roller sets and process foil highlights. Thanks for opinions.

i bought this dryer yesterday looking for one that will fry my hair quickly with minimal damage. this product does exactly that! i just used it and i got my perfect blowout curls using the diffuser! my hair feels shiny and smooth! this dryer gets super hot and is extremely quiet i used it on the second speed setting w the highest heat and it had my long thick hair dry within 15 minutes! part of the reason why i bought this is because of the diffuser, while i don’t have curly hair i did use the diffuser and it gave me the definition and waves that i wanted! i ended up twisting my hair and then putting the twist into the diffuser it left me with an amazing blowout curl! i feel this is perfect for all hair types and i can feel how soft my hair is! usually after you blow dry your hair it gets a bit dry after a few minutes, with this my hair feels thicker and smoother! the price on this product id say is amazing especially for what this blow dryer is supposed to do! i looked through all the reviews and i haven’t experienced any of the things stated in the 1 start reviews.

i can’t wait to try out new styles with this hair dryer and see how the ionic bond treatment works for me.

At first I LOVED this hair dryer. VERY light, compact, and left my hair feeling luxurious. This lasted all of 6 months maybe. Then towards the-unbeknownst to me-end my hair felt not nearly as soft, and tangle free (and yes I had tried several products/switched shampoo and conditioner/changed up my hair care routine to see if it was on my end of lovely hair failure).

The recently, as I was drying my hair, the end of the handle got VERY hot, then I felt a pop (in the handle), and the dryer shut off. I figured welp, the surge button just needs reset, but alas no that wasn’t the case; the dryer officially was done.

Moreover, the surge that came from the dryer tripped the breaker box on my circuit breaker! For as much as this dryer costs (yes it’s less than most, but it’s still not cheap) surely figured it would last longer than under 1 year.

Who would of thought that one day we would literally have hair dryers that would accomplish impressive tasks such as providing more body, healthier looking hair, no frizz, etc. ? Well, we do and Conair is up front and center in breaking ingenious and innovative boundaries by bringing us the new Smoothwrap Dryer Powered by InfinitiPro! I have to say that I was expecting some improvement just by the initial research that I did beforehand, but I wasn’t expecting the results I got.

Not only did this hair dryer handle & perform beautifully in usage capabilities, but it diminished my frizz completely, provided soft & silky body, and left my hair looking beautiful all around. It was as though I had received a professional blow out with salon products included.

To get the full effect of this hair dryer, I decided to not use any styling products and the SmoothWrap Dryer Powered by InfinitiPro did not disappoint! In fact, it exceeded my expectations! As if that weren’t enough, I think it’s important to point out that this hair dryer dried my hair in half the time my old hair dryer did.

It’s super light weight, but seriously powerful and although it dries hair very quickly, it doesn’t get super hot like some hair dryers do. In addition, it’s not super loud like some of its competitors.

It fits in my hand comfortably making drying and styling actually enjoyable! I can’t say enough positive about this hair dryer and absolutely nothing negative, which is a huge feat to accomplish! I’m most excited over how great my hair looks overall as a whole using the SmoothWrap Dryer Powered by InfinitiPro! Needless to say, I’m look forward to many ‘good hair days’ thanks to Conair’s New SmoothWrap Dryer Powered by InfinitiPro!! #SmoothWrap #Sponsored.

This dryer arrived literally at the peak of my “bad hair” season. I have fine curly/wavy hair but a head FULL of it. When it’s humid, my hair gets frizzy, big, and hard to tame. I invested in this dryer with the hopes of managing my hair in the heat and humidity.

It is pricey, but I’m going on a week now and so far have concluded that it’s worth the price for me. It took several experimental sessions to find the right heat and speed to ensure my hair was dry, frizz-free, and yet my curls and waves were intact.

Granted, the right styling products combined with the dryer are a likely contributing factor to my success. However, I’ve been using the “cheap” dryers my entire life, and this is the first time I’ve ever invested in a professional-grade dryer.

I am quite pleased with this one, and do recommend it. This particular product is especially important now that we’re in quarantine and can’t get to the salon as regularly. Taking care of my hair to prevent heat damage and split ends is more important than ever, and this dryer is part of this new regimen for sure.

I ordered this blow dryer after searching endlessly for the right price, size and weight, ability with newest technology and this was “okay. ” I felt at the high price point it should be a little more perfect hair results-OMG type feeling.

It seemed to do the job well! I wasn’t aware of any new state of the art technology that was doing anything less damaging or more damage. So, I am still searching and it is going back to Sephora. I have found results very impressive from some competitive brands half the price.

It is a nice dryer, tho.

I bought this dryer to replace my broken Chi. I was temporarily using a Conair dryer in the meantime until I got this one, and the difference is like night and day. I wear a full head of tape-in extensions, and have natural moderately thick hair.

When I dried it with the two previous dryers, I looked like Cousin It until I flat-ironed it. But this dryer smooths out all that frizziness without having to straighten it. I still do flat-iron it, but not nearly as aggressively as I had to before.

This dryer is super cute too and compact.

Let me start off by saying I NEVER write reviews, but this blow dryer made me compelled too! I LOVE it! I’ve tried the $400 Dyson blow dryer before and I hated how it made my hair so tangly and my hair didn’t feel like it’s normal soft/silky self so I returned it and went back to my $40 Revlon blow dryer.

But I’m soo glad I decided to give a higher end blow dryer another shot cause it left my hair feeling amazing!! My hair at baseline: – I have very long straight hair with thin individual strands but A LOT of it.

It took me about 5-7 minute to dry my hair when it was 65% dry with the T3, which it normally takes me about 10-12 minutes with my Revlon blow dryer. My hair after using T3 blow dryer: – Felt EXTREMELY softer and shinier (which I have pretty soft/ silky hair to begin with) – My ends didn’t tangle nearly as much as they normally do – I had NO fly-a-ways at all like I normally have in the front and a little on my part line which I’m most thrilled about! – I usually have to quickly straighten a small section of my hair cause it’s texture has changed over the past year and is a little wavy, but I didn’t even need to pick up the straighter after blow drying my hair cause I have no fly a ways and it was all straight.

Overall: – I can honestly say I don’t absolutely dread blow drying my hair like normal. I love how my hair feels after using this. I am sooo happy that I switched and paid for a more expensive blow dryer! If you’re looking for a new blow dryer, defiantly give this T3 blow dryer a try cause I LOVE it!! It was worth every penny! Also, I bought it off T3’s website cause it was cheaper with a promo code than at Ulta’s.

Am I the only person to have paid for this? I purchased it from T3 because it was dual voltage and I was traveling to Europe and wouldn’t be able to use my Dyson (because they are not dual voltage). I used it once before traveling and hated it in less than 60 seconds.

It has very little power and took forever to dry my long, fine hair that typically takes 10 mins with a Dyson and 15-20 with another salon-quality/high-end brand. It was very hot but had no fan power despite the flow concentrator so it’s mostly radiating a hot breeze.

Normally when I dry my hair, it’s soft, silky, and shiny at the end; with this dryer it was dry, frizzy, and felt fried. This is like a $20 travel dryer you would buy at the drugstore and the price relative to the function and quality here is unjustifiable… I think I’ve used better dryers in cheap hotel rooms and felt genuinely shocked to see such a bad product from T3.

I also found the brownish blush pink color drab / unattractive, and the folding head seemed pretty gimmicky because it didn’t do much of anything to reduce the dryer’s awkward footprint due to the long handle and stiff cord at the handle’s base making it even longer.

I was so excited for this but it’s really bad, I almost never return purchases (1-3x per year if at all) but sent this back after one use.

This was SUCH a great purchase!!! I had to buy this because my old hair dryer broke and I’m soo glad I did! The drying time is super fast! Especially when paired with my Cibu drying spray. It’s a great size- easy to take when on the go.

The length of the dryer tube may seem short to some, but my plug is close to my bed so for me, it’s perfect. ☺️ This makes drying your protective styles super easy and convenient when doing hair from home!.

Compact ion heat for healthy hair. Multi heat settings with new twin motor design. Bonnet is soft, not hard plastic and large enough for Texas size rollers. Also, warranty includes replacement bonnet which I received when I owned an older model.

Bought this dryer a couple weeks ago. So far it works surprisingly well. I have a very short hair cut so the bag is a bit loose on my head as I don’t use curlers or other styling aids that may take up volume.

However, the heat settings are very effective. In fact the highest setting tends to be too high and therefore I maintain the dryer on the medium setting. Otherwise, the dryer works very well and I have had no problems so far.

The product worked exactly as expected for me. The hose end fits over my blow dryer very securely and the hood fits over my head. I had read several reviews stating that the hood flies off when dryer is on high, but I have not experienced this.

My head size is on the smaller side of average, but I have a lot more than the average amount of hair, so maybe that is a factor. My hair is kinky coily, very dense, type 4a/b. The bonnet doesn’t completely dry my hair, especially in the back, but it’s enough to prevent it from dripping water everywhere.

Yes it works great!!! I used it to heat my leave in conditioner twice in 1 night for 10 minutes and then for 20 minutes with my inexpensive blow dry and it worked great it comes with 3 shower caps with elastic band around the edges they are better then the ones I already have.

It fists tightly to my blow dryer there’s also a draw thing on the bonnet to keep it in place it has a lock to it already but I tied a temporary knot in it also to lock it in so I could adjust it properly no problems what so ever.

I highly recommend this product.

This product is good if you have a quickly drying need. The temperature is base off the setting that you set your regular hair dryer on. It is almost compatible with most hair dryer that has the extended head on it.

The only downside I have with this product is that it’s not adjustable with the strap and I have to hold it on my head.

Although this does get hot, I wish it fanned out more air, had larger fans or stronger fan strength rather than just the added heat. It’s nice to have when I’ve mostly let my hair air dry but to use it with wet hair is torture for me.

I already hate sitting under these bonnet style dryers but do it to save time drying, this one doesn’t really save time. It is nice to have so I can have my hands free to work while it dries my hair though, primarily roots so that’s why I prefer to use it once my hair has mostly dried since it takes my roots longer to dry.

Works better on shorter hair. Otherwise I find the top of my head being dried while the rest is still wet. With shorter hair, I’m at least able to flip my ends up and dry it all at the same time. Great for use with hair treatments under a cap and before I straighten my hair, though it’s nice with style and go curly looks too.

If you’re like me and do your make-up so your hair has more time to air dry, just remember your forehead is close to the warm/hot air so that can affect your overall look if you like full coverage and maybe have oily skin.

When I received the dryer it was not packaged properly and was banging around inside the box. The dryer doesntWhen I received the dryer it was not packaged properly and was banging around inside the box.

The dryer doesnt get hot enough. It has three settings but it wont go past the second setting. I would like to exchange it for a new one and see if maybe this one is just defective or possibly got jolted during shipping.

I am disappointed in this dryer. I chose this more expensive one thinking it would be a better dryer and that is definitely not the case. The heat only works in the front of dryer. The back doesn’t get any heat.

I have shoulder length hair and had plenty of space left in dryer so to allow for the heat to circulate but that never happened. I had to use my handheld blow dryer to finish my hair. Was.

I lover doing roller on my hair and this is my go to dryer. This product will dry your hair while giving you less heat damage. It does get very hot under there, but it’s worth the heat, because this gives a lot of shine to your hair.

Highly recommend if you love volumes smooth hair.

This is imperative in our household. Myself, 5 daughters and a husband and son who have long hair. It’s perfect to just sit under instead of tiring my hands using a hand held dryer. Unfortunately it’s broke and I can’t blame it.

The poor thing was overused!.

I’ve had this for about 9ish months now and for the past 3 months have been using it approximately every 2 weeks for about 2 hours. This is a great quality hair dryer for the price however you have to get creative when it comes to the seating so your whole head is actually in the dryer instead of frying your scalp and roots.

Also the low setting is VERY low, practically useless while the high setting is not the greatest for drying soaking wet hair but is more than adequate with damp hair. I think this product is well worth the price and would repurchase; not sure if I’d be willing to repurchase at a higher price point.

Absolutely satisfied with my purchase. The price was really great and target shipped it super quick. I like the ease of this dryer and how portable it is. If you are short you might need a pillow or some type of booster as this sits high for taller people and is not adjustable for lower setting it is only adjustable for higher lengths.

I’m in love with my first portable dryer!.

I used it for the first time last night since I bought, I have locs, and they require to be fully dried after the maintenance ( washed, conditioned, and retwist). I say under my dryer for about 30 minutes and my hair was completely dry! Best investment I’ve made all year for my hair care routine!.

I liked the compactness of this, but it took me a whole year to discover that last 4 inches of adjustability! It had been a bit short when seated at a normal chair. So I looked it up online and saw it could be lifted further from the base.

So perfect!.

Not as pictured and does not meet manufacturers adjustment claim. Height is fixed and not adjustable.

My first hood dryer was purchased from Walmart over 20 years ago. Well, it was time to finally replace it and I shopped all over the place and finally decided to go back to Walmart. I went in and found Kiss Red with 4 settings.

I use it quite frequently and it has not disappointed me. It has really cut down my hair drying time.

I used this softwood hairdryer attachment in combination with the spiral Curlformers and I have to say, I’m obsessed even if I look a little funny wearing it! When I got the curlers in my hair I opened the cute zipper pouch it came in and put it over the curlformers and pulled the drawstring to secure it on my head.

It’s super light weight and comfortable. Then I attached the end to my hair dryer and turned it on low heat and let the hairdryer and the Softhood work it’s magic. I have pretty thin and fine hair so it didn’t take but about 15 minutes to dry.

I did turn the hairdryer to cool setting for about 5 minutes just to lock in the curls. When I took out the curlers I was pretty impressed with the results because my hair typically doesn’t hold curl.

These curls stayed all day! I was very happy with the results and will be using this often!.

The Deluxe Softhood Hair Dryer Attachment is so cool. I have never used one of these and it was great. It’s so easy to use, just connect it with you hair dryer and use on a low heat setting and turn it on.

So simple hair dryer attachment. It will fit all hand held hair dryers, it has an adjustable strap for when you put it on to make it fit right for you. The attachment is also made larger to fit over curlers and rollers also.

It has ventilation holes for faster heat to dry your hair, I like that it comes with a storage back so you can take it with you when travelling, or staying the night somewhere. Its hand washable and that makes it easier to wipe off.

Depending on your hair length and how dry you want your hair it can take 20 to 30 minutes to dry. I have long hair so my hair took a little bit longer, but this thing is amazing and so easy to use, I highly recommend this salon style hair dryer attachment to use at home.

Its great.

Firstly, I LOVE the carry bag and how lightweight it is. Making traveling with it an option, and makes it so helpful when rushing, not having all of your styling tools like at home. The bottom part that connects to a hair dryer has an elastic no-slip end that can fit many sizes of dryers, which makes it easy to take ANYWHERE!! The adjustable tie on the cap allows me hands free time, so I can multi task, and do things like my make up while it is running.

The cap has an adjustable tie to accommodate any head size or even more curlers, which is great because I love trying different styles of curlers,and it has an elastic strap to button to keep in place.

And, it allows me to be able to use it on my daughter who loves having her hair done but hates sitting still and not being able to do anything. This allows her some freedom to sit down on the couch and play or watch TV! Great product! I will definitely be using it often!.

I’ve never been one to blow dry my hair. I’ve always had sensitive skin on my scalp and the heat from the dryer would always burn me so I just wrapped my hair in a towel until it stopped dripping and then let it air dry.

Ever since I bought the Soul Mate, I feel like I have better control over drying my hair because changing the heat setting is just a click away and I don’t have to look at the button to know which one I’m switching.

Truly, my hair’s soul mate! :D.

I received my blow dryer last week so have only used it a few times but. so far so good! It’s light-weight and quieter than many comparables. I am having a bit of a challenge retraining my hand since the placement of the on button seems to be right where my thumb wants to go.

but that’s just me and a minor thing! I did notice this morning that the lettering beside the control buttons is already wearing off! Surprising as I’ve only used the blow dryer 4-5 times. Fortunately, the controls are pretty easy to figure out.

so it’s not really a problem but perhaps just a aspect of production that could be tweaked a bit. Overall I’m happy with my purchase – my hair dries in less time without frying and becoming frizzier.

Speaking on behalf of my mother. she ordered this hair dryer, excited to use it because she loved the other Head Kandy products she has used. The very first use, she turned it on and something smelled funny.

She stated she heard a crackling sound and the next thing she knew, fire was shooting out of it. Thankfully, she didn’t have the dryer close to her head. Head Kandy corporate will be notified.

At first I hated this dryer. But now, I love it. I’ll tell you why- 1) I was using a l’ange dryer and if you’ve ever used one you know that thing gets HOT. Even the medium setting is hot. For that reason my hair would dry to quick and would be blown out almost straight.

But what I didn’t realize was having that dryer was damaging my scalp, irritating my dry skin, and destroying my hair. This dryer does not get as hot, but my hair is so much healthier for it. I don’t see the dryer streaming my hair, sucking the moisture out.

It’s fantastic and my head doesn’t itch after using it because it doesn’t dry me out. 2) it’s truly light weight. I didn’t think this dryer was going to be worth it in the beginning because there’s legit no weight to it but it’s amazing that my wrists are dying after I dry now.

I have long, thick hair. Drying takes time and energy. Give this dryer a shot. It might take some adjusting but it’s so worth it.

I was really disappointed in this. To be fair, I’ve been using the Dyson for years now, so I’m a bit spoiled. However, I loved the T3 2i Luxe in the past so I thought I’d try this (I bought the GHD Helios at the same time, to compare).

While it gives nice results (my hair is long, fine and incredibly frizzy), the results are something you can find with a much cheaper machine. While there’s nothing wrong actually with the tech, it feels very glitchy, as if you have a faulty product.

I appreciate high tech but this borders on gimmicky without much payoff. The touch sensors aren’t aligned to how I blow dry, so the machine constantly turns off. When I do want it to turn off, there’s a lag and it takes a while.

The cool shot isn’t intuitive, and it doesn’t get as cool as some other machines including T3! And as a lot of people complain about, the attachments are IMPOSSIBLE to remove. Overall, the machine feels incredibly fragile and delicate, so I’m afraid to even set it down too heavily (and every time I pry of the attachments I swear I think the thing will break apart).

Dyson still wins for me, but you can’t get the Dyson, the GHD Helios is in the same price range but so so so much more user friendly. They have amazing tech, but it’s all on the inside where I prefer it, no gimmicks (though they’re also beautiful machines) and amazing results.

I’ve seen a lot of hype on social media about this dryer, so I’ve wanted to try it for some time. The price tag stopped me, but when it when on sale, I decided to give it a try and I’m so glad that I did! I’ve had rotator cuff surgery, and was worried about it being heavy as some reviews have said, but I don’t find it heavy at all.

I had also read reviews about difficulties with the attachments, but I have had absolutely no issues at all. I find them easy to put on and I love that they click into place when rotated to different angles.

My favourite feature is that it turns off when I put it down. Since I dry my shoulder-length hair in sections, it really helps keep my bathroom from overheating. I have fine, colour-treated hair that is curly/frizzy if it isn’t blow dried, and I really like the variety of temperature settings that this dryer offers so that I can baby rather than damage my hair.

With my old dryer, it took about 25 minutes to do all of the sections. I didn’t find that it cut down my drying time as much as some people have said, but it does a nice job of drying my hair smoothly, so I don’t have to do quite as much with the flat iron.

(I do still have to use it. ) Fly-always are not eliminated (it is winter, after all), but I think they are reduced. Even my husband loves this dryer for his short hair. I’m glad I took the plunge and gave this dryer a try.

It’s a keeper!.

I normally do not dry my hair but leave it to dry slowly on its own. I do sometimes on occasion use the CHI Pro Low EMF Professional Hair Dryer and Diffuser. I have really long, thick hair so drying it via blow dryer would normally leave my arm tired and sore.

This one though, however does actually seem to dry my hair faster. So, therefore, I give this dryer a thumbs up and recommendations. It’s perfect for either at home drying and styling or salon quality item.

I like this 1300 watt hair dryer because it’s lightweight, and dries hair quicker. It also has a very quiet motor and features two speed settings. What can I say…. it’s a Powerhouse! I would highly recommend this hair dryer to anyone who wants their hair dried faster, reduce frizz, and static electricity while leaving hair shiny and more manageable.

And who can resist the “Barbie” pink color? NOT ME!.

This hairdryer is awesome! I’ve been in the fashion business for over 20 years. I’ve had every kind of hot tool on my hair. I’m telling you, this blow dryer makes my hair so shiny and soft! It’s not super hot, but dries very quickly.

It does not burn your hair from excess heat. I’m very happy with it!.

Omg! I have purchased two of these hair dryers. My first one I ended up having for almost 9 years. The day that it died on me I was so sad. I immediately went out and found another one. I found it a near by beauty supply store.

I think the price range is definitely a good one. It is a great quality hair dryer with multiple heating settings. It is very durable and easy to use. It gets the job done. Holy grail for setting wraps and roller setting.

Easy to store away.

Packaging was very good and delivery was quick and as promised. Loved the feel and look of hair dryer and at offer price, It was definitely a bargain. Its very powerful and dries hair real quick. Comes with 2 concentrator nozzle, and extension is reasonable long.

Love my purchase & totally recommend this product.

Best hair dryer I have ever purchased and a great price too. Was complimented on my hair as soon as I switched to this hairdryer! Lovely colour as well. Great purchase.

Recently purchased this item to give it a try since my old one broke. As soon as I received it, I was upset and disappointed due to the fact that it was not stated in the description that it had a UK plug, and an adapter would be needed.

I live in the Netherlands, so it is useless, unless I spend more money by buying the EU adapter. Contacted customer service to rectify the situation, but no solution was provided.

I purchased this unit for my busy hair salon as the reviews seemed to be great. This item arrived defected. The holes on the unit do not match the holes on the legs which makes the screws impossible to fit- which then makes the unit super unstable and wobbly.

I spent hours trying to make the legs match the holes in the base of the unit. Even had a man assist. I Contacted customer service who in turn says the customer is responsible for the 75 dollar return label.

I could understand if I wanted to return the unit just because but for an item to come packaged defected and then wanting to charge the customer to return the item is really absurd. I will never purchase anything from this company again.

Save yourself the time and hassle.

The feature I like the most is that it has a detachable air filter which makes maintenance easier and faster. frequent cleaning will let the equipment live to its longest life which is absolutely important to make the most of it and your money paid for it.

I have had this dryer for 5 months and so far heard nothing bad from the customers except positive experiences. My clients now take home a big smile thanks to this machine. the team SalonPRO has done a fantastic job.

way to go.
