Review Elchim 5000 Da Vinci Professional Hair Dryer - Award Winning Designs

With their Italian pedigree and award winning designs, Elchim hair dryers are among the best on the market. There are several models to choose from, however, my personal choice would be the 5000 Da Vinci Professional. It has all the features you want a good hairdryer to have.
You have probably heard of ionic hair dryers - the negative ions reduce drying time, allow moisture to penetrate the hair shaft and seal cuticles and help protect hair from heat damage - but you may not know (I certainly didn't until recently) that there are two ways of producing these beneficial ions.

The spark method is used in cheaper dryers (the majority that are sold). Basically, a spark is created, creating negative ions. However, the ions produced are neutralized in just a few seconds so you won't be getting the full benefit of negative ion technology.



The second method, used by the more expensive - and better brands - use a continuous method. The Elchim Da Vinci hair dryer (as do all the company's dryers) uses the company's 'Negative Ion Generating System' to produce a continuous flow. Ions produced this way aren't neutralized, so you get the full benefit of this technology.

What will impress you about the Da Vinci is that it's perfectly balanced with an ergonomically designed handle - the switches are located in the centre so it's easy to use regardless of whether you're right or left handed. The switches are also 'soft touch', anti-slip. Finally, the casing is made from a highly durable polycarbonate material which is resistant to heat and scratches. You have two color choices: black or red.

One thing to always look out for when buying a hair dryer is the size of the motor: the bigger the better. Well, the Da Vinci from Elchim doesn't fail in this department. You get a HP motor with an output of 2150 watts. Most other high-end dyers come with motor sizes between 1900 and 2000 watts - the Solano Top Power Hair Dryer comes with 1874 watts and the T3 Evolution Hair Dryer comes with 2000 watts.

The appliance also comes with a concentrator nozzle and comb. I like the nozzle especially as it comes in a sharp shape design that allows for very precise styling.

There are 4 heat and 2 speed settings, and what makes this dryer my favorite in the Elchim collection is that it also features a cold-shot button. Surprisingly, the 2001 and the Urugano models don't.

The Elchim 5000 Da Vinci hair dryer isn't cheap but it's all quality. If you are going to buy from Elchim then this is definitely the model to choose.

Solano Dryers

In a word, yes. Solano hair dryers are definitely at the high-end of blow dryers, right there with the best of them like, BaByliss CHI, T3 and Elchim. While each brand offers to be the complete all-round solution, each seems to be epitomized by one or two attributes; with the Solano it has to be the powerful, super velocity motor that is fitted inside each one if its dryers.
When it comes right down to it: the bigger the motor, the quicker the drying time. If you want high heat and powerful air flow you simply must buy a blow dryer that's fitted with a large wattage motor. Most Solano dyers come with an 1875 watt. This feature alone puts the dryers among the big guns of dyers like the T3 Evolution.


Of course power without control is useless. But again, the Solano doesn't disappoint. Most models, like the Super, Top Power and Platinum come with 5 temperature settings, 2 speed settings and a cool button. Most also come with two diffusers; fiberglass and metal.
All models are of professional salon specifications and once you learn how to use the dryer, the results are salon perfect. However, the biggest complaint against Solano hair dryers is that they are heavy. The T3 Evolution hair dryer is fitted with a 2000 watt motor but weighs only 13.5 ounces whereas the Super Solano Professional weighs a whopping 3lbs.
As if in response, the company has released the Solano Top Power dryer. As the name suggests, you get the power but this tool only weighs 1.83lbs - not as light as the Evolution - but the 'comfort handle' makes for better grip and balance, making it easy to use and non-tiring.
There's the even lighter Solano Ultralite Turbo hair dryer. Weighing 14 ounces it weighs about the same as the T3 Evolution, although it's motor size of 1700 watts is smaller than the T3.
If you want the best hair dryer, one that offers reliability, functionality and perfect salon-looking results each time you use it, then you should definitely take a closer look at a Solano hair dryer.

Some Advices About Using a Hair Dryer

Currently when you straighten your hair with blow dryer and a round brush, were you be skeptical that whether the ionic hair dryers live up to their claim of drying hair faster, and healthier? Here are some advices you could take into account.Advice 1:With a blow dryer and a styling brush. The blow dryer does not dry any faster, although it is very gentle and takes tangles out of your hair. It could makes your hair less full than a reg. dryer, which makes your fine hair full and tangly. Then use the ionic one to smooth and detangle. The curling brush doesn't do anything special. Also have the sharper image hair brush. It makes your hair smell fresh.Advice 2:With a Revlon ionic dryer and prompty returned it after one use. It was not only VERY heavy, but also it took almost twice as long for you to dry or straighten your hair. This was no doubt due to the fact that it generated very little heat--great for hair but not so great for a tight schedule.Advice 3:With an ionic hair dryer. When you blow dry your hair and then straighten with a flat iron. Switching to an ionic blow dryer has done wonders with split ends! Usually let your hair air dry until you are ready to blow dry it. It doesn't take any longer than your normal previous dryer. It has 3 heat settings and 3 blowing settings...so the heat is never an issue. Infact, left it on "Medium" heat, and have never put it on "hot" heat setting.Anyway, Wash your hair, put Pomade in it (not alot, as it can make your hair look oily after blow drying), then blow dry it. There are alot of different Pomades, but go with the all natural that the only ingredients are Petrolatum, Fragrance and Lanolin Oil. Your hair would be totally different, it would be not so dry, looks healthier, feels great.We offer the best hair dryers source and reviews, please check the products and read the reviews, then choose the best hair dryer for you and your hair.
