I've been using this exclusively with the diffuser attachment (curly girl over here) for about a year now. I wanted a Dyson originally as it is used at my curly hair salon and I know how well it works but could not bring myself to pay Dyson's price tag (despite standing behind Dyson's products and being a Dyson Vacuum loyalist for years).I diffuse only when I wash - approx 1-2x a week and just maintain my curls in between with satin pillowcase or bonnet at night.Anyway, this does the job! It dries my hair quickly and does not leave it frizzy or damaged. I do use a heat protector spray before applying styling products and I style with soaking wet hair as I've been taught by my stylist. I'm using Innersense's full line of products for about a year now too.I'm always pleased with my results and glad I didn't splurge on a Dyson after all...because even if it broke tomorrow and even if I end up replacing it a few times in the next few years (unlikely) I still would not come close to spending what the Dyson cost.
