When styling your hair for the day, the right hair dryer  is crucial. You may be searching for a dryer that will last a long time and holds enough power to style your hair quickly. Or you may want a model that leaves your hair feeling smooth and frizz-free and will minimise the amount of styling products  you need to use. Whatever your requirements are, there's a model out there for everyone. Our guide below offers different options and features to take into consideration when making your purchase. Happy Shopping!

Features

When picking out your hair dryer, consider what features you would like it to have.

  • Compact : If you intend to bring your hair dryer with you on your travels, consider a model that can be folded up or is small enough to fit easily into a suitcase
  • Concentrator Nozzle : This can be attached to the hair dryer to concentrate the heat on one specific part of the hair while drying.
  • Cool Shot : When styling hair, finishing it off by pressing the cool shot button can set the look. Cool shots are also helpful breaks from the heat while drying on those hot sticky days.
  • Diffuser : If you have wavy hair or want to give your do some curl, diffusers can be attached to the end of the dryer to distribute heat gently throughout your hair and also give it some lift.
  • Ion Technology : Most newer models use negative ions to protect your hair during the drying process, leaving it smoother, more hydrated and less prone to static.
  • Ceramics : This is a part of the hair dryer that isolates the ions to whichever section of hair you are drying.
  • Power: Consider the wattage  on your hair dryer. If you have thick hair that takes a long time to dry, then you might want a higher power model.
  • Settings: Hair dryers can have a range of power settings, from low heat to high heat. It's a good idea to have options when using your dryer.
  • Warranty: Some hair dryers have a tendency to just stop working, so the longer your warranty lasts, the better.
