is this hair dryer recommended for fine/thin hair. I have neck length fine hair. Do you know how much it weighs or is it heavy to handle? Thanks.

This dryer is good for any kind of hair, however I recommend that you use the cool setting and not the hot.

I have very fine mid shoulder length hair not sure recommended or not. I have carpal tunnel and find this dryer easy to use. I also think it has helped ony frizzy and made my hair feel silkier then normal hair dryers. I use a roll brush and open air brush. Hope this helps

I do apologize for the delay in replying, as I just found this e-mail request. This is a heavier dryer that weighs 2 lbs., but it is well balanced and I find it easy to handle. It is the best one I have had in a long time. It does a wonderful job of drying my hair, and everyone who has tried mine agrees it is a very nice dryer.

evening LoriI cant answer that honestly. My hair is course and thick. Its the best hair dryer Ive owned. Its quiet, it doesn't friz my hair. Its fast drying.

It's pretty light but I don't know if 1/2 a pound is necessarily correct. It could be and I'm just strong. LOL. It's powerful for such a small hairdryer (works like my bigger one) and I had no problems with it while I traveled in S. Korea (other than I had to use an adaptor for the plug-in & I turned the voltage switch accordingly -not that those are even problems). It's a great little hairdryer.

I have fine hair too. I'm not very good with the brush but the curling iron attachment worked well and the hair dryer attachment is great because the blower isn't too strong and it doesn't blow my hair flat like other hair dryers do. The issue I had with the curling iron attachment is that the cord doesn't spin very well and the cord wore out. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of options for things that work well with short, fine hair.

yes, yes yes. It is a wonderful dryer. I have shoulder length hair now and it is still a great dryer. I love the long cord and the heat settings. You will love it.

I had this blow dryer and did not care for it at all. I have fine hair and it took forever to dry it and left my hair flat and limp. I could not even give it away to anyone that liked it so I had to throw it out.

I have only had the blow dryer for awhile. I also have fine hair, I think what I am learning is that those of us with fine hair need a good styling product. I just purchased Enjoy. I will be using that and hair dryer today. I am hoping for good results. I do like the hair dryer.

The hair dryer's heft is average, I'd say, but not light or flimsy. Hold is excellent due to grip design, as well as maneuvering. I have very long hair and dry it upside down with the diffuser attachment (purchased separately). My arms do not tire. The cold shot button is easy to reach with my thumb for finishing out hair.

I don't know what you would consider light weight. I however get my hair dried so quickly and it really does smooth and add volume to my uncurled hair so fast that it is hardly in my hand that long! It doesn't seem heavy to me. I have shoulder length hair and then curl it with electric rollers much faster than a curling iron that I'm done in 5-8 minutes rolling up the curlers then 5 minutes later they are out of my hair and I'm out the door. Good luck!

It dried my hair out but no, it didn't weigh it down. I have very fine, thin, color treated hair, too.

Hi, LeAnn: Though I do like this blowdryer, I like the Babyliss Pro BABP2800 even more. I use the 2800 as a rule now because not only does it do a better job drying my hair without actually drying it out, but it also makes it look like I spent time styling it. Usually, I just brush my hair a little while I'm drying it and occasionally run my fingers through it to aim the air where it needs to go. I have gotten some nice compliments on my hair since using the BABP2800. I think if volume is what you're after, then that will be the blowdryer for you. Hope this helps! :)

I'm sorry I do not have a scale & I do not see the weight marked on the dryer. I would say it's more like 2.2lbs. It does not feel too heavy for me & my hair takes forever to dry.

I use a professional Parlux dryer most of the time, which is also used in my salon, and it is not a light hair dryer at all. But this babyliss was even heavier and I did feel it in my arm while drying my hair. Not too much of a problem, but I was surprised as the Parlux I'm used to is not travel size at all.

I have baby fine hair, and it works very well for me. I really like this hairdryer. The only downside is that it is a little bit heavy, but it keeps my arms in shape.

Not as hard as a regular full size dryer.If you have really long or thick hair,you may not find it quick enough.I have straight fine hair and I just use this for travel and to take to the gym.

I have thin, fine hair and I actually do like it. You definitely want to use a very small amount though and work it through your damp hair good and then blow dry. I use additional products after it's dry to pump up the volume more but I do notice a difference when I don't use this.

I think it would weigh it down. It dried my hair out and made it feel gummy at times. Of course I have thick coarse hair, so perhaps it would be different on fine hair. I will not order it again. Hope this helps!
