Product Overview
The convenience of having a hooded hair dryer at home makes it a favorable investment for many. They are great for deep conditioning as heat allows the formula to deeper penetrate into your hair strands. If you’re running late and don’t have enough time to wait for your hair to dry, an at-home hooded hair dryer is also a deserving solution. If you are in search for a hooded hair dryer, the Laila Ali Ionic Soft Bonnet Dryer is one to consider. It stands out from your typical bonnet hair dryer, as this one is soft and inflatable. It fits almost like a shower cap and covers all of your hair, maximizing results.
Initial Impressions
Upon first opening the product, you will notice multiple compartments which make for easy storage and assembly. It is not as heavy as one might expect, and is in fact quite lightweight. The hose that attaches to the machine dryer is flexible which makes it easy to be placed anywhere, unlike the hard top bonnet dryers that must be placed at a certain height. The hose however could be longer.
The bonnet cap is a big plus as it covers all of your hair, specifically the back which can sometimes be left out with just a hard top hooded dryer. The bonnet even contains enough room for a set of jumbo curl rollers. Additionally, there is a cool temperature setting along with 2 other heat and speed settings. The featured ion airflow helps to speed up the drying process and retain more moisture. You can expect your hair to be dried at most in 30 minutes, depending on the setting.
