Do you believe this? My hair dryer died! I’ve had this thing for around 20 years and NOW all of a sudden it wants to just quit on me? What’s up with that CONAIR!?
On a more serious note, the hoarder inside me wants to keep this broken thing. You can still see part of where my mom wrote my name on it from when I took it to school or somewhere. She died 7 years ago. :( She’s the one who bought it for me too. If I remember correctly it was a Christmas gift and I think it was MORE than 20 years ago.
So help me pick out a new one and say goodbye to my Conair ProStyle 1250. Should I go with Conair again since I had such luck the first time around? Or are there new and better brands out there now?
I don’t know about another brand, but I can sure understand the sentimental value of your hairdryer!
I think I cannot wait for the day my hair dryer dies. I am going to then splurge on one of the more expensive ones that the hair dressers use instead of ones from the local grocery store or target or walmart I think it is time I invest in quality goods such as that.
The worst is when you are half way through blow drying your hair :) Splash out and get a really new fundangled one – keep memories in your head and in a photo album – trash the old hairdryer (My hubby is also a hoarder)
Omg, that picture is just FANTASTIC!!!
Gosh, I don’t have the slightest clue in what to look for in a hair dryer.
Lol, love the picture. I had good experience with Conair as they seem to go on forever. I would buy one of them again.
I love the picture!!! I would be the same way with my straight iron. I can’t live without that thing! :)

I am not the one to ask which hair dryer….. but while I absolutely understand the sentimental value, I would be more than happy to help you toss it (I am always quick to let things go— watching hoarders has truly impacted me!)

Great photo. I seldom use a hair dryer now. *But* my clothes dryer died a couple of days ago, and I now have about 13 huge loads of laundry mildewing in my laundry room. So I feel your pain :-D

i don’t know what I’d do if my hair dryer died! I’m quite attached, merely because I already know the ins and outs of it, and it does quite a good job. Plus I like how it looks. lol.

Love the photo!
I’m a fan of Conair as well so I would try that one again. I really like the ion dryers, I feel like I get less static-y in the winter!

Buy a new but similar model and swap out the guts keep the old case.
Never would have thought to do that.. what an interesting idea!
That picture is absolutely hysterical! haha
I can see why you’re so nostalgic!! Mine barely lasts a year-can’t imagine 20.

You’re going to love having a new hair dryer! My ten year old hair dryer broke and I got a new Conair one about a year ago, and it dries my hair in half the time my old one did. I say stick with Conair, that’s what both of mine have been and they’ve both been fantastic.
I am going through stuff that I am going to sell and I have a working conair pro style 1250 mini hair dryer in the original box/papers. I have no idea where you are, but I would be willing to part with this, for $10.00. No idea about shipping cost
Aww, that’s so sweet of you to offer! However, I got a brand new Conair hair dryer a few weeks back and am very happy with it. Hopefully your 1250 finds a good home though!
