Thank you for taking one for the team and purchasing this dryer! I hope you'll continue to use it and give periodic updates. Really hard to tell if that price tag (gulp!) is worth it at this point.
Yes, I agree. I think this is one where only time will tell if it truly makes a difference. There are some positive signs, but I’ll report back in a few months.
Thank you for this review! I also have found it takes me longer to dry, but my hair feels alot softer and shinier overall. I have found using the care and fast modes with nozzles off dries it fastest. I hated the Dyson dryer on my hair. It made it feel like straw. This is a much better dryer for my bleached hair.
I bought the Zovi hair dryer and it was really expensive but I heard about its advantages and that is what tempted me to buy it but I was shocked by the results which made me regret buying it The air coming out is so strong. It's like the wind that uproots trees. This is exactly what it did to my hair when I used it. My hair falls out profusely, and I lose more than fifty Capillus in one session, while the number would be twenty or less when I used another dryer. I do not recommend buying it. Mine is just lying in the cabinet. Because I don't like to lose my hair.. I want to treat it.
Thank you so much. I would love to see a comparison between Zuvi and Dyson. I mean, most of these technologies have been found and implanted in the Dyson years before, which means it has more credibility since more people have used it and shared its review for a while now. Also, I found that Zuvi's marketing strategy is more focused on the people who never tried or owned Dyson, as the Zuvi features sound very similar to Dyson. A customer like myself who has tried Dyson before will find it hard to see the difference? Like, what are they offering? Why it's extraordinary? Are they pioneering any specific technology? As some people may talk about the light feature "therapy benefits," I feel if people genuinely want these benefits, they may buy a red light therapy that can be used on all body parts rather than a new dryer. Thank you for this review once again.
Thanks for this review. I had no clue about this product..its right up my alley. I rarely use a regular hair dryer just due to how damaging this can be for the hair. What that means is I very often get up super early if I have a big event etc and want to curl my hair. You did mention your hair is still a little damp in the middle. The 5 minutes it takes to dry your hair..how wet is your hair in the middle after those 5 minutes
Hi Tammy. Glad you found the review helpful. I have thick hair so I’m going to be at the more extreme end for drying time, but taking the nozzle off and drying my hair for a couple of minutes and then putting it on and styling for the last few means my hair is pretty near dry. It doesn’t feel bone dry straight away because the light is drying the surface of your hair. It takes a little getting used to : )
Very interesting, would love to see a review against the dyson. I havebeen considering purchasing the dyson as I have thier straightener and really like it!
I also gave the Dyson straighteners and I they are way less drying on your hair. My budget can’t stretch to the dryer right now but I agree a comparison would be interesting. I’ll save my pennies : )
Thank you Clare, another informative video. I was actually looking into it last couple of weeks, it’s a bit pricey but after your video I might re-consider it. Have a great weekend 🥰🍀
@@dani_mack It takes you 30 minutes to dry your hair? Wow. I do have a lot of hair, but sounds like not as much as you. A pro, fast hairdryer should blast your hair dry in a few mins - the problem is the heat damage longer term.
I have thicker hair too. It would never be dry in 3 minutes. I’m happy if I can get 10-15. I’ve always found perception of hair thickness varied and interesting.
Hey, Jena! Hope you are doing well on your journey. 🥰 Love your videos. I'm getting tired of the same old, same old that the companies are coming out with. Nars - same colors; Charlotte Tilbury - same old colors; Hourglass - same old colors. I'm just not interested in them this year.
I bought it as it has a 30 days money back guaranty. I don't see how it can style any hair, as the air it makes is simply not hot enough for styling. However, I love how it feels and if helps my hair stay healthy I think it's worth it as I don't do any high grade styling for work or daily life.
Hi Clare I absolutely love your channel and wanted to say a massive thank you for all of your reviews. You mention near the end of this review you are using a conditioning shampoo, is this still As I Am, which you previously reviewed? Your hair looks in fab condition, so just wanted to check if this could be part of the reason. I ordered AS I Am immediately after your review (through your link), and happy to report I love it and don't think I could ever go back to ordinary shampoo. I recently bought the leave-in conditioner which is just as amazing. Thanks for all the hard work and effort you put into this channel, it's massively appreciated x💗x
Hi Sandie. Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging message - it means a lot 🙏 I’m still using and loving As I Am and I think I’ll also try the leave-in conditioner. I see a big change in the condition of my hair and As I Am has definitely played a part. Thank you for your support! It’s much appreciated 💕
Hi Claire (sp?). How are you getting on with the drier a year later? Are you still using it? Would love an update video please 🙏 (unless there is one and I've missed it?). Does the light or infrared affect the skin at all? (Positively or negatively?). Thanks for the great videos! You are such a natural presenter! 😊
Thank you so much! Funnily enough I've had a few people ask for an update recently. I didn't film one in the end because there was so little interest in this review/product at first but that seems to be changing. I promise to record an update over the summer. I haven't noticed any issues with the light on my skin but that thought has crossed my mind. My overall experience with the Zuvi is a positive one, but I do wonder if I'm just benefitting from not using a high-heat setting on my hair rather than the light having a particular benefit.
There was so little interest in this review when I first published it that I didn't record an update at 6 months. Now suddenly I'm getting a lot of interest so I recorded this short the other week to share my view one year on th-cam.com/users/shortsZxhPuk1TIv8?feature=share
Hi Clare, I would be really grateful if you get a chance to answer my question please. I have fine, thin wavy hair that I normally air dry. Even though my hair is thin it can still take several hours to dry, would the Zuvi be beneficial for me? Or will I get the same effects with air drying (albeit taking longer to dry). Many thanks.
Hi Debra. Having got used to the Zuvi now I have grown to love it. I use it with the nozzle off on the fast setting and it dries my hair more quickly without overheating it so I think you may find this beneficial. Your hair should be dry in a few minutes.
When I first published this review it got so few views I figured there was no point in doing a follow-up but it's obviously got a lot more popular because I've been asked a few times recently to do an update. I will record a short in the next few weeks to summarise thoughts!
I'm a Zuvi convert now in that I use it to dry my hair daily. It has definitely helped the condition. I keep the nozzle off because it has a direct air flow and I use it on the fast setting. It's not as good as a heated dryer for styling your hair but then you're making up for it on the condition.
@@thehonestchannel Thank you so much for your reply and your video, luckily I have never needed to style my hair so I suppose this would be a good fit for me - super straight long ombre hair.
I've stuck with the Zuvi hairdryer and still use it daily. My hair is no longer heat damaged so I think it's made a difference to the condition. It's not the best styling tool so that has to be factored in, but you end up with better hydrated hair.
@@thehonestchannel I wondered that too, but I think I read that they have a patent on it. I'm curious if they will come out with one that let's you have more choices as to fan speed, whether the infrared light is on or off in each speed, etc. If you have it in the mode where you're using the concentrator attachment, but the light isn't on in that mode, it seems like it would be defeating the purpose of protecting the hair cuticle...? But with that attachment on, it also would be blocking more the infrared light too (if it was on). I wonder if they will come up with a solution for that... that is what is holding me back from buying it so far. I want to see what improvements they might make after customer feedback. Thank you for your excellent review! I would love to see a video on your current thoughts and how your hair looks and feels! 😀

Would love to hear your 6 month review. Is it worth it!?
P.S.

Yes, I’d like to do a comparison but the Dyson is very expensive so it’s tricky. I will try to do this at some point though.
The difference between these two is that Dyson is a heat dryer and Zuvi is not. Hence, much healthier for your hair.
Thanks for this review. I had no clue about this product..its right up my alley. I rarely use a regular hair dryer just due to how damaging this can be for the hair.

The Zuvi is en-route! Will it help me get coiffed hair without drying out my already dry hair? Thx!
Thank you Clare, another informative video. I was actually looking into it last couple of weeks, it’s a bit pricey but after your video I might re-consider it. Have a great weekend 🥰🍀
Thanks Mel. I’m looking on at as a long-term investment 😁
If we would use our hairdryer on a cool setting, wouldn't results be similar? How much drying does that light actually do? I'm curious about that.
All im looking for is a dryer that dries my coarse curly hair faster. Thanks for the review!
I know some people say they find this faster but that’s not been the case for my thick curly hair. It is softer though!
@@thehonestchannel I'm not sure how you can say your hair is thick and curly but normally have a 3 minute drying time? Mine is 10X that.
@@dani_mack It takes you 30 minutes to dry your hair? Wow. I do have a lot of hair, but sounds like not as much as you. A pro, fast hairdryer should blast your hair dry in a few mins - the problem is the heat damage longer term.

Great honest review..thanks

Very Cool & honest review, I love your video.
So glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Have you continued your research on the Zuvi hair dryer what is you final review
I filmed this very quick update recently. Zuvi Halo hairdryer update one year on

I actually use it on fast mode with the nozzle off now and I find I can dry my hair reasonably quickly that way as well as straighten it.

I’m curious I haven’t seen your six month review on how you still like it.
Would love an update
I just searched for your 6 month follow up review and sadly, I could not find it. Did you forget or am I just not searching hard enough?

@@thehonestchannel thank you so much!!
Is the Zuvi less noisy than other hairdryers invluding the Dyson? From the videos it seems to be?!? Thanks.
Is is very quiet - that's definitely one of the benefits.

@@debraraby4376 Happy to help : )
Takes me 20 minutes to half an hour to dry my hair 😬😩😩
Only 5 minutes to dry your hair. Those of us with thicker coarse hair could only dream
I know. It takes my hair all night and half a day to air dry and then over an hour to sit and blow dry it.
From your experience, Is there a difference between using this hairdryer versus just using the coolest setting on a normal hair dryer? Thank you!
Not a huge difference, but my hair is slightly smoother using the Zuvi rather than just a regular dryer on a cooler setting.
I live in the southern US and my hair dryer heats up my bathroom so much, will the Zuvi keep that from happening?
Yes, it should emit way less heat than a traditional dryer.
Hi, I was wondering if you have done the 6 months review yet? Thanks
When I first published this review it got so few views I figured there was no point in doing a follow-up but it's obviously got a lot more popular because I've been asked a few times recently to do an update. I will record a short in the next few weeks to summarise thoughts!

@@kokiket The Zuvi should work really well with your hair type. Let me know how it goes.
question is, if it is using light does it emit radiation?
Any update?
I've stuck with the Zuvi hairdryer and still use it daily. My hair is no longer heat damaged so I think it's made a difference to the condition. It's not the best styling tool so that has to be factored in, but you end up with better hydrated hair.
And where is the blue light?
Interesting 👍
Thanks Michelle!
A nice targated blast, of snake oil
I’m actually growing to love this dryer. I would expect to see other light-based competitors emerging very soon.
@@thehonestchannel I wondered that too, but I think I read that they have a patent on it. I'm curious if they will come out with one that let's you have more choices as to fan speed, whether the infrared light is on or off in each speed, etc. If you have it in the mode where you're using the concentrator attachment, but the light isn't on in that mode, it seems like it would be defeating the purpose of protecting the hair cuticle...?
