Xtava: ALLURE 2200W Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic Professional Hair Dryer #Review #HairDryer

Last week, I shared the Xtava Professional 5-in-1 Curling Iron and this week I'm sharing another one of Xtava's products, the Allure Hair dryer. You will notice if you visit Xtava's website, their hair dryer line is really what put the company on the map and this one is no different!

The Allure hair dryer is light in weight but powerful. You have 2200 watts that delivers air quickly in both heat and cold options. Power does not mean this blow dryer will not be kind or gentle to your hair either. The Allure hair dryer uses Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic technology, meaning you get even heat distribution and the ceramic is gentle on your hair's cuticle. The negative ionic technology also prevents frizz to build-up, giving your final do's that smooth and very desired shiny appearance. The above technology is also perfect with all the new hair oils hitting the market because you will achieve ultimate penetration meaning you will reap all the benefits quicker and better.

The Xtava Allure features:

  • A Ultra Lightweight housing for better control

  • Triple Baked Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic

  • 2 Speeds with 3 Heat setting modes.

  • A "Cold Burst" Button to aid with styling and setting

  • Concentrator Nozzle is also included

  • The "filter" easily removes on back for cleaning when needed

  • 1 year manufacture warranty

  • Card for up to 50% off (with code) to their site

I tried the Xtava Allure hair dryer for 1 week to get an idea how well it performs. I was surprised how quickly the element delivered heat and the burst of air is that perfect flow where you can still control your hair while it's drying. My hair's length is at my waist and I have a lot of hair, which is fine to medium in texture but dense when it comes to amount. I was happy at the 5 minutes mark with the quickness in drying time and softness in feel. By 7 minutes, my hair was dry and ready for me to style. I did not experience any frizz or static from the dryer, which is a major plus for me because "dandelion head" is yet a look to catch on!  On the second use, I used my typical leave-in mix of oils (2 drops of Argan oil with a small dollop of Living Proof Perfect Hair Day).  I achieved great results and my hair was super smooth in feel and it had that natural gloss you get when you get that perfect blow out.  I was satisfied with the performance of Xtava's Allure hair dryer!  The box comes with everything you need from the attachment.....you just need a hair brush and you are set.

The only Con I could Find:
The "cool shot/burst" button pinches when you use it or if your finger tends to slide up. It also caught my hair once but I knew enough to not pull, so I did not lose any strands or caused any damage. The button is really not a button or a rocker switch, it's made from the plastic frame the dryer is made from. A button shape is molded but the movement is made from the cut-out in the plastic's frame. My only worries is durability with this button due to the fact plastic can only bend back and forth so often before breaking and/or cracking. Not a biggie but worth mentioning because it does pinch your skin when you use it and especially soft skin that you get from just showering or bathing. I don't use this option often, so for me it would be insignificant when thinking of overall use or performance.

  2. Dear Marielle:

    This is such a popular item and it's because the price point is so good for what the product offers. My suggestion is using the Amazon alert feature, so you know when the product comes back in stock. Secondly, I would establish contact with the manufacture (Xtava) and inquire if they have any idea when stock will be coming in. I imagine the mess at the ports caused a delay in merchandise delivery but this is just a guess. Good luck and I hope this helps.
