Likes the shorter cord of the Swift; still loves it
YouTube comment on Joli Campbell ~ QuickSilverHairCommunity
Prefers the shorter cord since plug is near the mirror
YouTube comment on Joli Campbell ~ QuickSilverHairOwner
Swift takes forever on low heat and comes out frizzy; higher heat helped
slow drying on low setting

Asks whether it can straighten curly hair with flat attachment

Asks about Laifen temperature settings; wants a 120 setting to avoid scalp burns
no 120 setting for sensitive scalp
YouTube comment on Joli Campbell ~ QuickSilverHairCommunity
Comparison unfair; Laifen smoother because dried differently than standard dryer
