I have a Conair blowdryer that I bought at Wal-Mart last year. The Conair Ion Shine (model 178WS). It's ionic and tourmaline. It has cool, warm, and hot settings. It was under $20. I think it was $17.98.
I'm not sure if it would fit a comb attachment from the BSS, but it came with a comb attachment, a diffuser, and a concentrator.
I saw another Conair blowdryer just like this at Bed Bath & Beyond, except it was pink and the one I have is red.
Thank you for recommending this dryer. I really like it!! It got the job done today. The right tools and products are EVERYTHING.
The cool setting is more than enough. It's not cold at all and it has a slight tinge of warmth to it, enough to dry my hair. Didn't even need to use the warm or hot settings. I used "cool" on a higher speed to dry my hair.
The comb attachment even works, but I find that the tourmaline technology closes my cuticle enough that I don't really need the comb attachment. Even still I tried it out in some areas and it got the job done. The comb attaches to the dryer securely enough and doesn't slip off easily.
The dryer isn't very heavy and doesn't weigh my arm down. It also has a diffuser. So, when I grow more hair (lol!!) I'll be able to try this out too.
This is definitely a GREAT dryer for the price. It's a keeper for now until I decide to upgrade. Keep in mind that I'm comparing this to my old Conair that I purchased for about $10 and has only one setting (heat) and two speeds (low and high), but my comb attaches perfectly!
Tourmaline makes a HUGE difference in my hair. I'll never buy another dryer without it.
