Selecting the right blower is the same as finding the right engine for a “project” car.

Your blower has to meet certain criteria. It needs to have the right amount of power, preferably 4 speeds and it must get HOT. I know some will disagree with the “heat” aspect of it, but for me, this is an absolute.

So, during my trip home to NYC I decided that I would try a new blower. No, there’s nothing wrong with my current blower, but ya never know, right? Besides, when it comes to hair tools, a good blower is the equivalent of me having the best rims on my car…see where my priorities are, right?

Anyway, I stopped in all of the beauty supply stores on the east side, inquiring about the turbos, specifically something with the ionic and tourmaline technologies. The Megaturbo 4000 seemed to be the only ones that had both technologies in one package, unless I wanted to order something online.

Wouldn’t you know, just as I was about to pay for the blower at the first store, I happen to inquire about the return policy and was told, “Store cwedit! No re-fun! Store cwedit onry!”

What the PUCK?! I’m going to spend $90 – $149 on a gadget only to have someone tell me that I cannot return it? THAT STINKS! It’s not like I live in NYC anymore. I even showed my driver’s license and was told, “Sowwy, store cwedit onry!”

So, I kept it moving until I found a store that was willing to let me buy and return within an hour. That’s what I did. I was giddy when I left the store with my Pibbs made MegaTurbo 4000.

I damn near ran home! Quickly opened the box *let’s pause a moment to reflect on the ohhh and ahhhh moment of shininess of the new blower*

I plugged it in, put my setting on Hi and proceeded to blow.

I shut it off. Looked at the buttons, read the instructions *um…how difficult is it to turn on a blower, right?*
Turned it back on and….
nothing.

Oh, it turned on and it blew out some air, but I was completely and utterly disappointed with the results.

I intentionally wanted to try the blower on that particular day, because it was HUMID AS HELL! My hair was one giganormous puff and if a blower was going to prove its worthiness, it would have to be done on that particular day.

My hair laughed at the heat that the Megaturbo 4000 was trying to give off. I think I even offended a few follicles by tempting to tame the frizz with the, dare I say, less than qualified blower.

Needless to say, I packed that baby back up with the quickness and ran back to the store before anyone could say, “deep conditioner.”

I am still a turbo fan, but will have to keep trying to pick out one that is just right for my needs.

So…in the meantime, I’ll just embrace my loyal blower and thank God it still works .
