The Faszin Hair Dryer, currently available on Amazon for £69.99 (down from £129.99, a 46% saving), is gaining attention for its lightweight design and fast drying capabilities. Equipped with a 110,000 RPM high-speed brushless motor and ultra-light aluminium blades, it can dry shoulder-length hair in about three minutes. Weighing just 330g, it is marketed as ultra-lightweight, with noise levels below 69dB.
Ionic Technology and Heat Control
The dryer uses ionic technology, delivering 200 million negative ions per cubic centimetre to enhance shine, smoothness, and reduce frizz. A dual sensor measures heat 60 times per second to maintain consistent temperatures and minimise heat damage. It offers 12 drying modes, including four heat settings, three speed settings, and a cool button, with an LED display for settings. Three magnetic attachments are included: a diffuser, styling concentrator, and smoothing nozzle.
Customer Reviews Highlight Pros and Cons
Many buyers praise its lightweight build and performance. One reviewer said: "I absolutely love this hairdryer. I'm disabled and don't have a lot of strength in my arms, so this is an absolute game-changer for me. It's so light. The attachments are magnetic and require no effort to swap out. My hair was dry in minutes." Another noted: "I managed to dry my short hair in far less time than usual. My hair was left soft and shiny with no sign of frizz. The only downside is I would have preferred a longer cord." A third wrote: "This is a great lightweight dryer that punches above its weight. My wife said it dried her hair in seconds and was much easier to handle than a conventional one."
However, some reviews were less positive. One customer commented: "It is lightweight, which was the aim, but even at its lowest setting, it's too strong. My hair also feels drier. I'll stick to my old hairdryer." Another raised a durability concern: "It is a lovely product, but unfortunately, after three months of use, it's lost speed and is making a strange noise. For the price, I expected it to last longer."

Alternatives include the BaByliss Xanadu Ionic Hair Dryer and the Wahl Ionic Flow Lightweight Hair Dryer, available from Argos for £25. The Faszin Hair Dryer is currently available on Amazon for £69.99, reduced from £129.99, saving 46%.
