Innovation in Home Styling With the Conair 208, you can practically say good-bye to your hair brush. Combining several advanced technologies and design features, this hair styler not only works to dry your hair without hurting its natural sheen and luster, but it will also help you manage your hair by controlling frizz, promoting healthy hair and volume, straightening out unwanted curls, and adding a beautiful shine as you style.
Conair's advanced Tourmaline Technology produces a controlled ion output that helps smooth the cuticle layer. Infrared energy works to protect your hair's natural luster, so you don't have to worry about excessive heat. And to help produce results with less frizz and more manageability, the styler also features unique Ionic technology, and a triple action styling system that keeps your hair detangled, straight and shiny.
A Styler Designed for You The Conair 208 sports a sleek but durable stainless steel design. Included with the styler is a straightening attachment with a tension-control dial that turns a full 360 degrees and has eight locking positions. A patent-pending release lock button secures attachments on the barrel, offering the versatility that you need as you're styling your hair.
Beneath the hood of the Conair 208 is a powerful 1875-watt motor that will deliver the heat and air range that you need. An easy-to-use, two-speed slide switch is set on the handle, and the styler includes a hinged filter for easy cleaning. A nine-foot professional line cord and cord tie will give you ample room as you take care of your hair. The Conair 208 also comes with a five-year manufacturer's warranty.
The History of Tourmaline Ceramic Technology In 1970 Conair introduced the industry's first pistol grip hair dryer. Fast forward 35 years to France. In September 2005, Conair's French subsidiary BaByliss introduced a patent-pending design to control frizz, straighten hair, and to add shine and volume in one revolutionary step. Their BeLiss styler effectively eliminated the need for a hairbrush for straightening, and by the end of the year it was the number one seller in France. Conair introduced this new technology to the U.S. in the form of the Infiniti Hair Designer, a high-end, professional-caliber styler that produces salon-quality results at home.
What's in the Box Conair 208 Infiniti hair designer, straightening attachment, and concentrator attachment.

Works on Very Curly Hair,
September 30, 2006 rctnyc (NY, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Conair Infiniti Tourmaline Hair Designer (Wine) (Health and Beauty)
I have long, thick, curly (frizzy, mediterranean) hair which I straighten, but which nonetheless frizzes if not properly dried. I've just tried this dryer -- I have several dryers, including the $235.00 tourmaline/ceramic/ionic -- and it works. The ends are not a problem (see previous review). You do have to get your fingers out of the way -- i.e., let go -- but you can curl your hand around the brush-end of the dryer to hold the ends flat as they dry. My hair looked as well or better as when I dry it in sections with the $235.00 hairdryer and a large brush. While the Conair blow dry was not quite as smooth as those that I've had at a high-end NYC salon, it definitely was as smooth as a "no appointment, FIFO" moderately priced salon blow dry. I would recommend it to anyone who has difficult hair and can't afford weekly blow-drys.

Good news. Bad news.,

This review is from: Conair Infiniti Tourmaline Hair Designer (Wine) (Health and Beauty)
The good news is my somewhat thin, cotton-candy, wavy, frizzy hair is shiny and STRAIGHT (with body.) It has been very hot, and quite humid lately, but my hair stays straight and shiny all day. That's a first.
The bad news is the dryer is heavier than I had hoped. It is awkward to use, although I hope to become more proficient at it. For now I keep resorting back to using a brush. And, Conair, if you're listening, a locking cool-shot button would be a big plus for those of us with work weary hands.

What Conair Won't Tell You,
January 23, 2007 Angee (Ozone Park, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Conair Infiniti Tourmaline Hair Designer (Wine) (Health and Beauty)
If you're like me and you have to spend time drying your hair with a blowdryer then flat-ironing it to get it straight, then I would definitely recommend this dryer. If you are good with a blowdryer and a round brush, it's not really necessary for you to buy this. It pretty much does the same job, so why waste $60?
I like it because it does make your hair soft and does add a lot of volume, and I'm absolutely hopeless with a regular blowdryer. I gave it 4 stars because no matter what they tell you, it doesn't make your hair as straight and sleek as a good flat iron. Still, like I said before it does work. The only complaint I have is that doing the back of your head is a little awkward. I haven't really gotten the hang of that.
