Hey girls!!
I am reviewing my Philips hair dryer – HP 8200 today. This is my first hair dryer and while purchasing this, I didn’t have much idea about the important features to look in a hair dryer. I was quite impressed with the SA explanation and immediately purchased it. I have been using this for more than one year and I would like to share my experience about this wonderful product.
Price :
Rs. 1395
Product Description :
- Mid End Dryer (1600 W, 220-240 V)
- EDH+ Technology for faster drying and to prevent damage caused by hot spots
- 1600 W for professional results
- Coolshot to seal in shine and fix your style
- Six flexible speed and temperature settings to suit your hairstyle
- Thermo protective temperature for maintaining your hair’s natural moisture level, and for shiny, healthy looking hair
- Also Claims that ‘Specially designed for Asian Hair’.
My Take on Philips Hair Dryer HP 8200 :
I don’t regularly blow dry my hair. When I am in a hurry and my hair refuses to air dry in Bangalore climate, I use this. Now I am slowly learning to blow dry with a ceramic hair brush. The dryer comes in a white-pink colour combo which looks very pretty. User manual provided along the product has very clear instructions about every small detail related to the dryer.
Since this is the only dryer I posses, I can’t compare with other brands. But I must say this is super easy to use. It is really not that big or heavy, just perfect for me to hold and blow dry.
The dryer comes with three temperature setting and 3 speed control setting. You can adjust them according to the dampness and urgency to dry the hair. The dryer is fold-able and easily fits into my travel bag. A hanging loop is provided at the base of the dryer and the cord that connects the plug is long.
One more important feature of this hair dryer is the Cool Shot option. Cool air does not damage hair to the extent that hot air does. When the cool shot option is used, it seals the cuticles and sets the style for longer time. The concentrator is detachable and used for precise drying and styling.
This is definitely one the best purchase I have ever invested.
Why I like this Hair Dryer?:
- Six settings – 3 for temperature & 3 for airflow
- EDH+ Technology – prevents damage caused by hot spots.
- Coolshot option to set the style and seal the shine
- Pretty colour combo
- 1600 W(220-240 V)- perfect for regular use
- Narrow concentrator to precise styling
- Foldable – Apt for travelling
- Comes with 2 year warranty
Why I don’t like this Hair Dryer?:
- Nothing at all!!!

wow…….though my hair, i cant use a dryer…good that you loved it harini :)
Dharu… but why cant you use a dryer?? ?:-) ?:-)
I have the same question! ?:-)
curly frizzy hair gets more frizzy if a dryer is used so it must be avoided unless life and death prob :P and also my hair looks great when it dries naturally so :( i am on a strict hair regime girls no external styling things whats so ever :)
Even my mom has ur kind of hair dharu.. curly curly springs.. still blow drying using a proper paddle brush n a little amount of leav on conditioner can do wonders… it ll accentuate ur curls… jus keep in mind to use yhe minimum temperature while using a dryer..
Even i have frizzy hairs dharu… but hair dryers don’t make it worse, you should understand the technique.. and yea paddle brush is a good option too. :)
hmmm lets see:) thanks girls :)
wow.. i need this now… its not very costly too!
Yeah.. easy, effective and reasonably priced :party:
Usefull review harini.. :-)
Glad Poornima!!
Sounds great :) I use a Phillips hair dryer too, but mine doesn’t have any nozzle attachments :) and it also doesn’t have the cool setting! I NEED that!! :(
Oopss… thats sad.I mostly use the cool setting as the damage caused is significantly less.Next time check for these options too!!
Yes exactly.. plus using the cool setting helps retain the styling too :)
I have Philips’ straightening iron and I quite like it but my blow dry is from Panasonic.. Nicely reviewed Harini..
Thanks Arzoo… even Panasonic is a good option!!
It looks so pretty..
Well reviewed Harini :)
