Excellent for travel and home

I purchased this dryer to use on a 3 month trip to Paris. I thought it did a wonderful job. My thin but frizzy hair was dried quickly with minimum frizzing. The dryer folds for easy travel and although I default to my super solano for home use (more power) this serves in a pinch when I am packing my bags for a trip. The only complaint that I have is the attachment to the front of the blowdryer no longer fits snugly onto the dryer head and so I'm not able to use this. But even without the attachment, this blowdryer is a great purchase and I am glad I invested in it. I've used it again recently for a 3 month trip to the Netherlands and I had no problems at all. Highly recommended.
Best Dryer to use for healthy hair

Hi there! I never post reviews but I LOVE this hairdryer! I have normal to fine ethnic hair (I'm 26, Indian, and female)... while my hair grows quickly it tends to be oily at the scalp and dry at the roots and can loose its shine quickly... not with this dryer! I travel a lot for work (internationally as well) and with the aid of a source plug adapter, have had no problems... a lot of products have built in adapters but I never wanted to take the risk so I bought an adapter that plugs into the wall and which i then plug my appliances into (inexpensive, off of Amazon.com) -- this way i know i'm not going to have a problem using my device (which i just leave in my regular travel suitcase) and i'm not going to short anything b/c it has a built in surge protector -- PROBLEM SOLVED. My stylist loves the bio ionic line and suggested I look into it after I asked why my hair didn't have the same shine when i blow dried it at home -- I did and my hair is super healthy, super shiny and very very soft! also, I love that the diffuser has "teeth" so it slides along right behind your hairbrush and I think this is why I have so few frizzies and flyaway hairs now! I also have not experienced the same dryness of my hair and significantly reduced breakage which I feel changed dramatically when I started using this product (which I use every to every other day) Products also make a HUGE difference -- I was a B&B girl for a long time but I tried Pureology and was in love! I just the super straight (blue bottles) and the clarifying shampoo & moisturizing mask conditioner once every week or two! Their styling lotion (yellow bottle) is awesome, as well as their straightening gel. Also try Schwarzoff "Sealed Ends" which is sort of like a leave in conditioner but smells great, makes your hair super soft without any added weight and !!! as I'm a gym/pool regular really prevented breakage. side note, I have sensitive acne prone skin that reacts to products easily but these are great for me! I'm trying out their brushes next!
Amazing the only dryer you'll need

I bought this because I needed a good travel dryer for my thick hard to dry often frizzy hair. I am so impressed. Its better than any full size dryer I've used. My hair looks shiny and smooth and stays smooth on a rainy da too. I will be using this at home and away. small and light weight and has cut my drying time to about 12min from close to 30.
Great Travel Dryer

I travel quite a bit, domestically and internationally and I have stayed at a variety of hotels - from moderate to top of the line. The one thing they all have in common is horrible hair dryers that leave your hair dry, dull and frizzy. I use a Sedu Ionic dryer at home and my hair is always shiny and soft after drying. I wanted the same result when I'm on the road so I did a lot of research and decided to try the Bio Ionic travel dryer. I have been using it for about 3 months and I love it. It leaves my hair soft and shiny and it's lightweight and compact for easy packing. It's worth the money. I would definitely recommend this dryer to anyone who travels.

I bought this from a salon and love it. I have wavy hair and use this to style my hair everyday. My stylist says my hair is very healthy. I have noticed the difference since I started using this dryer. My hair is now very shiny and healthy. I don't think my hair has ever been this healthy. Totally worth the money!!
Bio Ionic Rules (Stay Away from T3)!
Reviewer: anonymous from

I travel a lot and wanted a convenient hair dryer to take with me on trips, so I first purchased a T3 travel dryer. The very first time I turned the T3 on, it made a popping sound, followed by a burning smell and stopped working. I didn't buy the T3 from Follica and was unable to return it. So...as you might imagine, after losing $100+ on the T3, I was reluctant to buy another expensive travel hair dryer. Nevertheless, I finally settled on this Bio Ionic model from Folica. And I absolutely love it. I bought the Bio Ionic a little less than a year ago, and it has performed beautifully ever since. As already noted, I travel often; consequently, I use this dryer often. It is reliable, lightweight and packs easily. It also works beautifully on my hair. I have very thick, long, wavy hair, and the Bio Ionic dries my hair quickly and leaves it feeling sleek and silky. I purchased the optional Bio Ionic diffuser to use for a curly look, and I love the way it works too. All in all, I can't say enough good things about my little Bio Ionic travel dryer. I will remain brand loyal to Bio Ionic for a long time to come. I hope you'll like this dryer as much as I do.
Best travel hair dryer!

This is the best hair dryer I've found for its size! I travel 4 days a week for work, so I need a compact travel dryer, but I hate to spend time very much time getting ready. This dryer is very hot and powerful and ionic, which means it dries my hair very quickly. I have only had the dryer for 2 months and not yet used it overseas, but so far traveling around the U.S. I have been very happy!
Excellent in Europe and the US

I bought this as I was taking a trip to the Netherlands in October. Not only did this dry my hair quickly but I was able to style it as I brushed. I was extremely happy with the results - it's not often that travel blow dryers do anything more than just dry your hair - this one allowed me to keep the basic style of my haircut. I liked it so much that I use it interchangeably with my Solano blowdryer at home. It's much quieter and the air is not as hot. I would highly recommend this blowdryer to anyone traveling. I've had mine for a almost two months now and haven't had any problems. I'll be taking it to France for 4 months early next year and if there are any problems, I'll update the website!
Best Hair Dryer I've Ever Had
Reviewer: M. Ward from

A salon owner convinced me to buy one back in 2000, and I took a chance, as it was very expensive, over $100! I bought the travel one with the folding handle and have been so happy ever since. I have long hair that I color, and get so many compliments on how healthy and shiny my hair looks and feels. It is a luxury to have one of these, as it dries very differently, almost "steaming" your hair into shape, leaving it soft and silky. A few times I did not take it overnight on a trip and refused to use the hair dryer in the motel room preferring to leave my hair wet! Those regular hair dryers are harmful to your hair and noisy. I dropped my bio-ionic once and sent it in. They repaired it for free. I can't say enough about this product. You won't regret owning one.
