Amaxy produces a lot of grooming products similar to other brands like Philips, Wazor, SRI etc. Similar is the product that I am going to review today and I am talking about the Amaxy Hair Dryer.
Being a girl and an experienced one with almost all of the grooming products and devices, I have tested a lot of products till now.
I somehow heard about the Amaxy and really wanted to give it a try because I already had a good experience with Philips and couple of other brands’ products and wanted to check if it can give me better and safer results or not so I bought one too.
No doubt, how safely you dry your hair with a hair dryer but excess of everything is bad and at the end, these hair dryers blow hot hair to dry hair fast and for a smooth and shiny look and obviously, heat, beyond a certain limit and time, is not good for hair, I am not talking about that.
But I was curious about how safer it would be to go for this product and how worthy it could be as compared to other ones in the market.
So, if you are one among them who is curious to know about Amaxy Hair dryer and its reliability, then you are at the right place. I will share what I have experienced while reviewing it and how it dominates or lacks when compared to other good hair dryers around the same price range.
So, let’s dive in.
Features
Let’s discuss the features, the Amazy infrared Hair Dryer comes with.
Infra-ceramic blow dryer
I know when it comes to blow dryers, we sometimes worry about how the heat will affect our hair, or what will our hair look like because of the unbalanced and uneven heat distribution over the head.
And this blow dryer distributes equal heat to all the hair with its twin-deep infrared light technology and patent heating element of honeycomb shape. Its therapeutic effects don’t let the hair as well as the scalps of hair damage. But it also boosts the volume of the hair from the root.
I have used a lot of hair dryers, and their heat really damaged my hair because of the intense heat but this hair dryer couldn’t bother me like that.
Frizz control
This AMAXY hair dryer has tamed my frizzy hair and perfected their look by its efficient frizz control feature.
You can easily make any hairstyle without making your hair frizzy(that often becomes, because of the heat hair dryers blow), this thing maximizes the hairstyle, boosts hair shine, by not letting them become frizzy.
its varying heat and blow settings never let me leave my home unless I’m done with my hairstyle and blow dry after its salon-look perfection working and performance.
As far as I observed personally and from the user’s point of view, neither I nor the other users had any problem with this hair dryer because of its heat that could frizz the hair, because it simply doesn’t.
Radiation free
While looking for the hair dryers, one can easily get worried or a thought can occupy his/her mind about the radiating factor that could do a lot with the people of all ages, in any condition.
I got worried too when I looked for this hair dryer too but, in this hair dryer’s case, all the process is made radiation free, and for this purpose the infrared ceramic technology came there to help me.
There aren’t any risks for any man or woman using this hair dryer. The users are satisfied with its infrared technology.
Twin deep penetrating technology
The twin deep penetrating technology infuses the heat into the hair and prevents split-ends and tangling hair.
I trust this hair dryer because it neither burns the hair nor the scalp and is also not dangerous for kids too.
Its ionic technology hydrates the hair and makes it shinier, glossier and eliminates the static electricity by its air flow.
This speeds up the drying time as well as prevents hair from frizzing. It usually got 4 minutes to dry the lengthy, thick hair, proving itself much faster than other branded hair dryers.
Weight and design
I have experienced using several hair dryers that just hurt my hand because of carrying their weight for so long while styling or drying my hair. But then there comes those dryers that were lightweight but work worse for me.
So, this AMAXY hair dryer doesn’t do that with your hands and hair, doing justice with both, by being a medium weighted and easy to carry hair dryer.
This hair dryer weighs only 3.44 pounds, this may look heavy to some, since I used to think the same too. But with the quality of work that it provides, I could easily resist its weight too.
The design is also so cool to be carried and used around, either for personal use or salon.
The honeycomb shaped element of this blow dryer consists of a ceramic core and silver coating that makes its quality high and effective as well.
It only uses 1200 watts of energy, when compared to others, it shows high efficiency since it works on the same speed and produces the same amount of heat that a professional hair dryer of 1875-2000 watt hair dryer has.
Warranty
Every time I buy a thing, I check on its warranty feature, whether the manufacturer is offering any replacements or warranty etc. or not, so I did here too.
The manufacturer of AMAXY hair dryer offers free replacement if any part of the hair dryer breaks within a year from the date it was purchased.
This thing gave me much confidence to give it a try. But, what I think is and other users too, the warranty period isn’t much, some other brands’ hair dryers offer up to 5 years warranty too.
That’s why some users got issue with its durability, as most of the ones who complained had used it up to 10 months (in most cases).
Attachments
The AMAXY Infrared hair dryer comes with the following attachments which one can use as per need,
- Removable air filter
Removable air filter provides the double safety net and prevents the hair from drawing into the duct.
The dryer works in higher efficiency, becomes durable and easy to clean due to this removable net, I found it quite helpful since it doesn’t remain dusty due to this removable air filter and can be cleaned easily.
- 2 high-quality nozzles (1 wide and 1 narrow)
The narrow one is ideal for straightening hair styling for smoother and shinier hair as well.
- Hanging ring
It helps in hanging it anywhere and storing it.
- 10 ft professional cord
Minimizing the struggle of being hung around the plug.
- ALCI Safety plug (ETL Approved)
Prevents the users from any electric shock when plugged in.

Settings
It comes with various settings like heat settings and speed settings, and also a button for cool shots.
- Speed and heat settings
The speed varies from high, medium to low. You can select any according to your need.
If I suggest then you should use the hair dryer on the lowest setting for smoother results, still it works very well at medium and high speed since the speed may vary according to the requirement of hair style.
When your hair is wet, then in order to reduce the excess moisture from the hair, then you should use it at high speed with high heat settings as well. But, don’t forget to keep the hair dryer moving.
When your hair becomes 70 to 75% dried, then you can switch to lower heat as well as lower speed settings and style your hair accordingly.
- If your hair is fragile or damaged, then prefer using warm settings.
- When using for kids, use cool to warm settings when you are blow drying their hair since the child’s head is sensitive and their hair cannot resist the high heat settings.
- Cool shot button:
When your hair isn’t fully wet but only damp(slightly wet), then it’s preferable to use the cool shot button since it works smooth for me because it just sets my final hair look for staying long and shinier as well.
So when you find your hair 80% dried up, then without any hesitation, just switch to the cool shot button, for keeping your final look natural and smoother.
How does it perform for different hair types?
Here is how it performs for different types of hair.
Curly
Since, my hair type is curly, not full but somewhat medium curly.
So, this hair dryer worked very well and didn’t make my hair frizzy, because with my previous experiences, my hair just used to get frizz when I dried them using any hair dryer but this hair dryer doesn’t let my hair frizz, so it works very well for curly hair as my final words.
Thin hair
Most of the users gave much positive reviews about its performance for thin hair, since as one says her hair couldn’t feel this much better than using this hair dryer, so here’s a plus point goes for thin hair too.
Moreover, its narrow nozzle is an ideal one for the ones who have thin hair because it boosts the volume of hair from the roots.
Thick or long hair
I know how much painful is it to blow dry or style your thick or long hair because due to the thickness of hair, it takes too long for it to dry and many hair dryers just failed in it successfully.
But the Amaxy hair dryer works in half the time other dryers need to take to dry or style thick hair and also leaving hair shinier and glowing.
I hope this detailed AMAXY hair dryer review has cleared a lot of things in your mind till yet, now let’s consider some cons and few drawbacks of AMAXY hair dryer as well:
