Parlux Alyon Hair Dryer. Light, Long Life Professional Hairdryer with Air Ionizer Technology & 2 Concentrator Nozzles. 2250 W Blow Dryer with 2 Speeds, 4 Temperatures & Cold Shot Button. (Matt Black)

Product Information

In the box, there are two concentrator styling nozzles - one narrow with a 6cm opening and a wider option, with a 7.5cm opening. The nozzles’ contoured design delivers a concentrated blade of air for a smoother, sleeker finish. These styling attachments definitely gave me superior control. My hair doesn’t always play nicely with a dryer - it can end up frizzier than if I had gone to bed with damp hair. But the slim nozzles gave me extra precision, especially when navigating a newly-snipped fringe. For some, the Parlux Alyon’s straightforwardness is its biggest selling point. But it’s hard not to pit it against newer, snazzier models like the Dyson Supersonic and Shark Style IQ Ionic Hair Dryer & Styler with their kinder-to-hair airflow technology. I have to flag for the sake of fairness that there is a noise factor. It isn’t especially loud, but if you’re used to Dyson’s almost disconcertingly quiet motor it may appear noisy.

Parlux MagicSense ®is the special diffuser that revolutionises the hair dryingto obtain perfect curlswithout messing upthe hair. Since launch, Dyson has also added a range of attachments to join the nozzles and diffuser. The “Gentle air dryer” attachment resembles the hem of a skirt and uses its waves to diffuse the airflow, making it softer without reducing drying time; it’s perfect for fine or damaged hair. A new wide-tooth comb attachment, designed for curly or coily hair, detangles the hair while drying to prevent damage and make it easier to style.

Unfortunately Parlux hairdryers are not dual voltage, however an adaptor can be used when taking the hairdryer abroad. A nozzle doesn’t always have to be used when drying hair. They are mainly used when you are wanting to direct the air more precisely, for example when carrying out a curly blowdry you would want to direct the air onto the round brush.The Keratin Protect is a slim, sleek-looking dryer that doesn’t weigh an awful lot, and its cable is long enough for even the largest of bedrooms. Featuring Air Ionizer tech, the hair dryer optimises the emission of negative ions. Combined with the integrated ceramic grille, this means you're more likely to achieve smooth and frizz-free results.
