The read
What's actually worth knowing.

- At 1.66 pounds, it's noticeably lighter than most full-power dryers, which makes a real difference if you're styling for more than a few minutes.
- It comes with a concentrator attachment that narrows the airflow to target specific sections, letting you dry and style at the same time rather than doing them separately.
