The BaByliss 6491U Platinum Diamond 2300 Hair Dryer combines professional-grade power, diamond-infused ceramic technology, and user-friendly design to give you salon-level blow-dry results at home. Featuring a robust 2300W AC motor, 3 heat settings, 2 speed options, and a cool shot, this hair dryer is designed to help you achieve smooth, frizz-free, and ultra-glossy results every time.

Whether you’re creating a sleek straight finish, adding volume and bounce, or locking in curls with a blow-dry, this dryer gives you the control, shine, and power you need to style with confidence.

Salon-Quality Drying with a 2300W AC Motor

At the heart of the BaByliss 6491U is a professional-grade 2300W AC motor that delivers powerful airflow and quicker drying times. It’s built to last longer than standard DC motors and gives you consistent, high-performance styling even with daily use.

The AC motor also helps maintain stable airflow and heat distribution, making it ideal for thick, curly, or frizz-prone hair types.

Shine-Enhancing Diamond Lustre Technology

What makes this model stand out is BaByliss’s Diamond Lustre™ Technology. This feature infuses the ceramic heating element with real crushed diamonds, which helps distribute heat more evenly and minimises heat damage, all while leaving your hair looking radiantly shiny and silky smooth.

Perfect for taming flyaways, smoothing the hair cuticle, and boosting natural shine — without stripping your hair’s moisture.

Customised Styling with Full Heat & Speed Control

The BaByliss 6491U gives you total control over your blow-dry with:

• 3 Heat Settings – For all hair types, from fine to thick

• 2 Speed Settings – Adjust for drying or styling

• Cool Shot – Locks in your finished style and boosts shine

This combination allows you to fine-tune your drying routine for the exact results you want.

Easy Handling, Long Cord, and Precision Nozzle

The ergonomic design and 2.7-metre salon-length cord give you plenty of freedom to move while styling. The included ultra-slim concentrator nozzle directs airflow precisely, helping you achieve smooth, polished finishes with ease.

The removable rear filter also makes maintenance simple, extending the life of the dryer while maintaining airflow.
