Reviews

Great customer service!

"I purchased this in 2024 and reached out due to the diffuser head falling off. I honesty didn’t expect to get it replaced since it’s been almost 2 years, but I thought I would try to see if I could at least purchase a new diffuser attachment. To my surprise, they shipped me a brand new dryer with all attachments. I really appreciate companies like yours because you truly stand by your products. Thank you so much!"

— Jennifer A. (5/5)

Fantastic Buy

"This is amazing. It leaves my curls well-defined and soft. I use it with the leave-in conditioner and gel, and the results are awesome. It's a bit heavy, but that shouldn't be a problem as you can also prop it up on the table. Adding it to my routine was a game-changer."

— Amna A. (5/5)

Loved this so much until it died after 214 uses

"I purchased this dryer on September 2, 2022. It is now October 21, 2026. I've used it once a week since that time so approximately 214 times. That's not even a full year if I was using daily. It takes me about 15 min to diffuse. I cleaned lint from the filter when it needed to be cleaned. I stored it carefully and it has never overheated and I've never had issues with it. Tonight I was diffusing my hair and it suddenly powered down and was barely blowing air. It never made it back to full speed or heat. I now have to go to bed with wet hair and buy a new dryer tomorrow. I replaced my old devacurl (which was made by taiff) dryer with this due to the great reviews. I had the original devacurl dryer which I purchased in 2009 from Devachan at the time. There wasn't really anything wrong with it but I wanted to try something new. I did enjoy this and it worked well. The diffuser is great and I'll keep that for whatever I replace this with. For the price I paid, this should have lasted a lot longer. A nearly $200 dryer should last at least 10 years. I'm glad I have the diffuser, but the dryer itself is a huge disappointment for me. I will be going back to Taiff after the previous one is still working all these years later. Just wanted to post this review here in case you are looking for longevity. I think you can do better for the price!"

— Kathy (2/5)

Love this one!

"THIS IS MY FAVORITE DIFFUSER. The large head is a complete lifesaver, as it cuts my drying time almost in half. Even though its definetly on the pricey side, I would say it's definetly worth the money."

— Melody V. (5/5)

Super!

"The diffuser is great. It cuts down drying time, and the curls look beautiful with more volume. Highly recommend!"

— Janja (5/5)

Not worth it at all

"The attachments are so hard to put on. I specifically purchased it for my curls and it just made my curls crazy and frizzy"

— Elizabeth C. (1/5)

"Dries my hair fast! Very good heat settings(low heat is actually low, unlike other dryers). Just what I needed for my massive amount of curls."

— Cassandra (5/5)

Turns stretched wavy hair curly in a pinch

"I really like this dryer. The size of the diffuser speeds up the drying process and makes working with long hair less complicated. Even without styling products, using the dryer itself makes my hair look so much better. The heat and intensity options are great, as is the cool air shot. I've been dealing with a spine injury lately, which unfortunately, has made these dryer difficult to use with its larger size and heavier weight. The built-in stand might work for some who can sit easily, but I'd love to see Curlsmith release a hands-free, height adjustable stand for this hair dryer. I've been looking for one of the clamp stands with a weighted base to fit this hair dryer without toppling over, and there don't seem to be any great options. I'd be the first to buy something like this if it were available from Curlsmith. I think it could be really helpful for curly-haired people of all abilities and situations. Fingers crossed!"

— Liv (5/5)

Works great until it doesn't

"Absolutely love this diffuser but after using it a year, it falls off the dryer. I've reached out to customer service and they want me to video the process rather than try and help with a replacement. It's a little hard to video and diffuse while it's falling off constantly. Super disappointing because I truly love the size and result of this diffuser. I rarely spend so much on a product."

— Heather (4/5)

XXL

"The best thing about this diffuser is how big it is. I haven’t noticed a difference regarding the frizz as I still tend to have some but other than that it does the job great!"

— Lexi (4/5)

Q&A

I just purchased this diffuser. The attachments do not have a twist and lock mechanism. The only way to get them on and off is to push and pull them. Is something broken? There were no instructions regarding the attachments in the box.
Hi Terri, Thanks so much for reaching out, and we are so sorry for any confusion here — we completely understand how this could be concerning, especially without instructions in the box. What you’re experiencing is actually normal for the Defrizzion Dryer attachments. They are designed to be pushed on and pulled off rather than using a twist-and-lock mechanism. That said, they should feel secure once attached and not overly difficult to remove. If the attachments feel unusually tight or loose, or if anything doesn’t seem right, please let us know — we’d be happy to take a closer look and help further. We really appreciate you bringing this to our attention! Thanks, Curlsmith
How does the diffuser attach to the hair dryer? My current diffuser/dryer ser up (different brand) keeps popping off rendering it unusable.
Hi Katrina, Thanks for your question! The Curlsmith XXL Diffuser securely twists and locks into place on the Defrizzion Dryer to ensure a snug fit that won’t pop off during use. I hope this helps. Thanks, Curlsmith
Do you ship to the Netherlands?
Hi Pascal, Thank you so much for reaching out and for your interest in our Defrizzion Dryer & XXL Diffuser! We completely understand wanting to get your hands on it. At this time, we don’t currently ship this item to the Netherlands, and we’re so sorry for the inconvenience. We know how disappointing that can be, and we’re always working on expanding our international shipping options. If there’s anything else we can help with, please don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re happy to assist!

Hi! The XXL dryer is 2000W and the Travel Dryer is 1200W :)
Does this have a UK plug?
Hi Becca! The Dryer does include a UK plug :)
How do I clean the filter ?
Hi Angela! When cleaning is needed, unplug the cord and allow the dryer to cool. Use a small brush or vacuum to remove debris. Remove the diffuser or concentrator and clean all accessible parts with a damp cloth :)
Is this dryer dual voltage? Can I use it in the United Arab Emirates?
Hi M, Thanks for reaching out to us. The Defrizzion Dryer & XXL Diffuser is not dual voltage. If you plan to use it in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), you will need a voltage converter and a plug adapter to ensure safe operation. If you have further questions. Please reach out to us at hello@curlsmith.com and our team will be able to help you. Thanks, Curlsmith

You can use the dryer on any speed you wish for the diffuser, we do recommend using the diffuser on a low heat setting however :)

Does this dryer come with a UK plug?
