Design

The Babyliss 3Q hairdryer was designed with you in mind; the advanced brushless motor technology gives a fast, controlled airflow with exceptional ionics for supreme drying and smoothing.

The hair dryer itself is 15% lighter than other Babyliss hair dryers and lightweight design gives greater ease and comfort during styling.

The super slim concentrator nozzle gives a streamlined airflow which allows for precise, controlled smoothing of the hair. The specially designed air intake system allows for noise reduction too, so you don’t have to worry about waking up the whole street when drying your hair in the morning.

Heat

Achieve ultra fast drying results and exert control over the Babyliss 3Q hair dryer thanks to three heat settings and two speed settings. The lockable cold shot button allows you to set your hair in style and the lockable feature means you don’t get a numb thumb whilst pressing down on the button – a feature we actually love.

Compared to other Babyliss hair dryer designs, the 3Q provides 20% faster speed and a 40% high air pressure for quick, thorough drying of thicker hair. It’s also 28 times more ionic than the overall best-selling Babyliss hairdryer and this exceptional ionic condition actively eliminates static and tames frizz. The active ionics surround the hair to give you shine boost as you dry too.

Styling tips for the Babyliss 3Q hair dryer

Body & Volume

To help create extra body and volume in the hair, lean forward so the head is upside down when drying. Direct the airflow towards the roots for maximum lift. When the hair is dry, brush back in to required style.

Straightening

To create a smooth straight look, first divide the hair into sections. Attach the slim concentrator nozzle to the hairdryer, using a brush, hold the hair taut and direct the airflow down the hair section. Roll the ends under slightly as you dry the hair to finish the style.

Making Waves

To create tousled natural-looking waves, position head upside down. Using the dryer without the nozzle, grasp the hair at the roots and scrunch between fingertips whilst drying .When the hair is dry, move back into required position for a casual, natural look.
