Summer Splash! Barbar ECO-8000 Professional Eco Friendly Blow Dryer Review & Giveaway ($150 value)




 I keep things pretty simple when it comes to styling my hair. A brush or a comb is all I need for my long, straight tresses. But there is one other styling tool I simply can't do without. I HATE the feeling of wet hair on my back, so I have to have a blow dryer. I want a powerful dryer,  so it doesn't take an hour for me to get ready in the morning. But as a mom trying to run a green household, I also want something that is good for the environment. At Barbar Hair Tools, I found the perfect hair dryer for my family.




For my review, I received the Barbar ECO-8000 Professional Eco-Friendly Blow Dryer. This unique device contains an eco friendly ceramic heating element instead of the standard coil. So even though it only uses 1100 watts of energy, it is the equivalent of 1800 watts. What that means is that you still get the higher level of heat you need to get your hair dry quickly and conveniently, while using a lot less energy.  Here are just a few of the great features of this awesome hair dryer.



  • Air Flow 31-35 M/S


  • AC Motor


  • Negates radiation


  • Cool shot release button


  • 11-foot professional cord


  • 1000 WATTS (blow power comparable to 1600 WATTS)


  • Heat 266 F


  • Saves electricity


  • Multiple heat speed settings





  • I have been using the  ECO-8000 for both myself and my daughter for about a week and we love it.  Its quick and efficient. Its doesn't get so hot that it burns your skin, but its get your hair really dry. It also leaves your hair looking thick, shiny and full of body.  At $150,  its a little on the pricey side. But if you want a great dryer that is good for the environment, its worth the extra expense. Plus its such high quality, I'm sure it will outlast the cheaper brands. And don't forget, less energy also means a lower electric bill.
     The eco friendly blow dyer is only one example of the amazing hair accessories you can find at Barbar Hair Tools. They also offer clippers, flat irons, steamers, curlers and more, all made with the same environmentally conscience materials as the dryer I reviewed. For more great product ideas, be sure to check out Rita's review over at One2Try.  If you want gorgeous hair to go along with a gorgeous earth, be sure to check out Barbar Hair Tools today.
