High and Dry
What It Is: If you’re not familiar, Drybar is a chain of salons in the U.S. that specializes in one thing and one thing only – blowouts. For us in Canada, sadly, we have to settle for their products alone – but believe it or not, with a bit of practice and use of their products, you can actually get pretty incredible results. Drybar has packaged up three of their bestselling products into a limited edition gift set, including their Hot Toddy Heat Protector, Detox Dry Shampoo (which I own a travel size of; it goes on like a spray powder to suck up excess oil), and their signature Buttercup Blow Dryer (which I also own, and highly recommend – it’s lightweight, powerful, and has multiple adjustable levels). Why bother with all this fancy hair stuff? Simple fact is, the less time you spend blow drying, the less damage is inflicted on your hair – and all three of these products can help with that to a degree (if you consider the dry shampoo may allow you to skip a day of washing your locks).
Who It’s For: Your hair-obsessed bestie, as an amazing group gift. Your mother of three girls sister, so she can groom everyone’s locks in a jiffy. Your wife, because there are few things that bother her more than a bad hair day.
What It Costs: This trio is priced at $257, although the value is over $313.
Where It’s At: Sephora, online only. In fact, I don’t think you can get Drybar goodies in stores here that I’ve seen – I’ve picked up my Drybar stuff either online or when visiting the U.S.
Speaking of haircare, how about one last bonus entry into my go-comb giveaway? Tell me in the comments below – would you splurge on this premium haircare gift set?
Canadian Gift Guide 
A good blow dryer is really worth spending the money on. I would purchase this!
In the future, if I come into a bit more money, I’d love to splurge on this set! My hair could definitely use some TLC.
I don’t think I would splurge on this package as I don’t use a hairdyrer that often.
If I was in the market for a hairdryer, I would consider this one.
I don’t Use a blow dryer very often, so I wouldn’t be likely to purchase this.
I think it would be a good splurge
My MIL wanted a hair dryer this Christmas. I looked at high end ones like BaByliss but based on reviews I just decided to get a mid-priced hairdryer. I think I’d be for likely to buy the Drybar products, than the whole kit.
Hmmmm….I wonder if you might find the odd Drybar product at Winners?
Too expensive, so I’ll pass on this one!
I can understand that it would be good, but I don’t dry my hair with a hairdryer often enough to invest the dollars. I’d rather buy a nice pair of shoes.
I don’t bother to blowdry my hair more than a few times a year, so no, it wouldn’t be a good investment for me.
too steep for me. Anyways, in summer I get a really good cut (my hairstylist trained under Vidal Sassoon) and air dry. That works for me.
It is very nice, but a bit too expensive for me – thanks!
No, I wouldn’t by it for myself.
Probably not a splurge moment for me, I have a lot of hair products already!
unfortunately far too expensive for me
too far over my budget
I wear mu hair real short so I can’t see splurging.
I would not buy this for myself, but my daughter should have it.
It is quite expensive but a good blow dryer is worth every penny!
I couldn’t justify spending this much.
I would not splurge on this since I cannot justify the spend for this.
I wouldn’t splurge on this, but I do want just the hair dryer.
I’d definitely try the Detox Dry Shampoo and would splurge on a new hairdryer when my current model dies! 😉
I probably wouldn’t buy this. I try to keep my hair as low maintenance as possible.
I dont think i would splurge on this… I just spent about the same amount on a set that had a blowdryer, straightener, 3 barrel curler and shampoo and conditioner!
I wouldn’t splurge on this for myself.
