The Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer is available at Mascom International for KSh 3,000, brand new and sealed, in a clean white finish with a UK 3-pin plug. It follows the high-speed layout: a round head with a ring-lit control face, a slim straight handle, and a perforated air-intake grille at the base of that handle. Poree, a personal-care brand linked to China's Flyco group, makes the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer for everyday home use. You can see and hold it at our shop in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, before you pay.
Built for busy households across Kenya, the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer suits natural-hair wash days, blow-outs before braiding, and quick touch-ups on wigs and weaves. Air-drying thick hair on a humid Mombasa or Kisumu morning can take hours, and many older dryers pull loose strands into a fan grille at the back. This design moves the intake to the bottom of the handle, away from your hair, and keeps the head compact. University students in hostels, gym-goers rushing to the office, and home stylists working in estates all get a tidier tool in the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer.
Where many Nairobi stalls sell unbranded dryers with no receipt, Mascom International stocks the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer sealed, with a 6-month warranty and a walk-in counter for claims. The white unit shares its design and price with the grey Poree PH1652UK High-Speed Hair Dryer and the lilac Poree PH1653UK High-Speed Hair Dryer, so colour is the only choice to make. If budget comes first, the classic Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer costs KSh 1,800. Customers across Nairobi tell us they want a dryer that looks neat on a dressing table.

Common Questions About the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer
How much is the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer in Kenya?
The Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer costs KSh 3,000, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the white dryer with its attached cord and UK 3-pin plug, a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery to any county. The grey and lilac versions cost the same KSh 3,000, so you pay nothing extra for colour. The classic Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer is KSh 1,200 cheaper at KSh 1,800 if you only need a basic dryer.
What is the difference between the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer and the cheaper Poree PH1622UK?
The Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer uses a handle-intake, round-head design, while the Poree PH1622UK is a compact classic dryer with a rear fan grille. On the PH1622UK, air enters at the back of the head, close to your hair. On the PH1650UK, air enters at the base of the handle, further from long strands, braids and wig fibres. The PH1622UK saves you KSh 1,200 and suits occasional use. Choose the PH1650UK if you dry hair often and want the newer layout and the ring-lit controls.
Does the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer plug straight into Kenyan sockets, and is it safe during KPLC power cuts?
Yes, the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer has a UK 3-pin plug that fits standard Kenyan wall sockets with no adapter. The "UK" at the end of the model code marks this plug version. KPLC outages and voltage swings are the bigger risk, so switch the dryer off and unplug it when power drops. For steady protection, the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector at KSh 1,200 sits between the socket and the dryer and cuts supply during surges. Never run any dryer from a loose or overloaded extension.
Is the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer good for natural hair, braids and locs?
The Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer suits natural hair, braids, locs, wigs and weaves because its air intake sits at the handle base, away from your hair. Thick 4C hair after a wash day can stay damp for hours in humid weather, which leaves locs smelling musty. A dryer you can aim closely at the roots helps. Hold it a hand's width from the hair and keep it moving. Mascom International has not confirmed heat or speed settings, so test the comfort level on your hand first.
Who should buy the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer, and who should skip it?
Buy the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer if you dry your hair several times a week and want a tidy white dryer for a shared bathroom or dressing table. Students, young professionals and home stylists fit that profile well. Skip it if you only dry hair once in a while and want the lowest price; the Poree PH1622UK at KSh 1,800 covers that. Professional salons drying clients all day should ask us about heavier commercial dryers instead, since this model is sized for home use.
Will the white finish on the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer show marks over time?
The white Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer looks bright and clean, but light colours show oil, hair-product residue and makeup more readily than grey. A quick wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth, with the plug out, keeps it neat. Buyers who share a bathroom or keep a white vanity often prefer this colour. If you style with heavy oils and gels daily, the grey Poree PH1652UK hides smudges better, and the lilac Poree PH1653UK suits buyers who want a softer, gift-friendly look.
What wattage and heat settings does the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer have?
Mascom International has not confirmed wattage, speed levels or heat settings for the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer, so we do not quote figures. We prefer to give you honest details rather than guess. The control face on the round head carries the dryer's own controls, and the box itself lists the maker's ratings. Send us a WhatsApp message and we will photograph the box details for you, or ask at the counter on Kimathi Street and we will open a display unit to show you.
How do I care for the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer so it lasts?
Keep the perforated intake grille at the base of the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer free of lint and loose hair, because a blocked intake makes any dryer work harder. Brush it gently with a dry toothbrush every week or two. Never leave the dryer running on a bed, sofa or towel, and keep it away from a full sink. Let it cool before you wrap the cord, and avoid kinking the cable where it leaves the handle. Store it in a dry drawer, not a steamy bathroom.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Drying Design
- High-speed dryer layout — the working parts sit down in the handle, so the head stays compact and easy to aim at roots and sections.
- Round head — a short, rounded outlet lets you work close to the scalp and around braids without a long barrel getting in the way.
- Ring-lit control face — a glowing ring around the controls makes them easy to find in a dim bathroom or early-morning hostel room.
- Intake at the handle base — air enters from below, far from your hair, so long strands are less likely to get pulled in.
- One-hand operation — the controls sit on the head face, so you can section hair with one hand and dry with the other.
- Wattage, speeds and heat settings — not confirmed by Mascom International; ask on WhatsApp and we will share the box ratings before you buy.
Compatibility and Power
- UK 3-pin plug — fits the standard three-pin wall sockets found in most homes, hostels and salons here, with no travel adapter needed.
- UK model suffix — the "UK" at the end of PH1650UK marks the plug version made for three-pin mains outlets.
- Attached cord — the cable is fixed to the handle, so there is no loose lead to lose or plug in wrongly.
- Surge protection — pair it with the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector, which cuts supply when mains voltage spikes or drops suddenly.
- Hair types — suits natural, relaxed, braided and loc'd hair, plus synthetic and human-hair wigs and weaves when used at a sensible distance.
- Safe placement — use it near a socket on a dry surface, never over a full sink, and unplug it whenever the power flickers.
Build and Finish
- White finish — a bright, clean look that matches white vanities and shared bathrooms; wipe it occasionally to keep product marks off.
- Slim straight handle — a narrow grip that is comfortable for long sessions and easy for smaller hands to hold steady.
- Cord exits from the bottom of the handle — the cable hangs straight down, away from your arm, so it tangles less while you work.
- Perforated intake grille — the many small holes let air in while keeping fingers and larger debris out of the handle.
- Compact overall shape — the round head and straight handle store easily in a drawer, gym bag or hostel locker.
- Brand new and sealed — the dryer reaches you untouched, with no scuffs on the white body or wear on the cord.
Inclusions and Support
- The dryer with its attached cord and UK 3-pin plug — everything you need to start drying on the day you buy.
- No nozzles, diffusers or other attachments are confirmed in the box — the sealed pack holds the dryer itself.
- Retail box marked "POREE High-speed Hair Dryer" — sealed stock, so you are the first person to use the unit.
- 6-month warranty through Mascom International — manufacturing defects under normal use are handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Same design in two more colours — the grey PH1652UK and lilac PH1653UK cost the same, so pick the shade that suits you.
Package Contents
The sealed box contains the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer in white, with its cord permanently attached and finished in a UK 3-pin plug that fits local wall sockets directly.
