great for controlling static [SEP] i bought this dryer because it advertised the ability to control flyaway static filled hair and the dryer is terrific for this i am amazed at how well it works as i have fine hair that usually is full of static during and after drying the dryer is quite heavy it is medium sized though the design is well balanced so the weight does not bother me very much another design flaw that is manageable but sometimes irritating is the placing of the control buttons it is nearly impossible to hold the dryer while using it without inadvertently changing the strength and heat controls every so often
