If technology has brought us one blessing, it’s that neither a salon nor a stylist is necessary to achieve the perfect blow dry.
We’re spoiled for choice with hair dryers that promise to defrizz, volumise and protect our hair, with varying results.
To find the perfect hair dryer, we took a few things into account. With so many options, anything that might remotely damage our hair was out.
Everybody’s hair is unique, requiring different temperatures and nozzles, so variety is a must. Ionic technology is also the new normal nowadays, neutralising any frizz-inducing atoms.
But at the same time as boasting powerful motors and multiple features, we wanted something that was portable, light and easy to use.
With all this in mind, we also needed our styles to hold their own against the autumn weather.
Cold weather is the enemy of frizzy hair and rain doesn’t help. Our tester tried out a variety of hairstyles – from slick blow dries to big, bouncy curls – to get to grips with each hair dryer’s full capabilities.
You can trust our independent reviews. We may earn commissission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections, which are formed from real-world testing and expert advice. This revenue helps us to fund journalism across The Independent.
Big, bouncy blow dries don’t need to empty your pockets. Remington’s keratin protect hair dryer combines damage-defensive ceramic grilles with keratin and almond oil, both of which are common ingredients in hair strengthening products. It also uses 90 per cent more ions than your average hair dryer, which diffuses the frizz at the scalp. Our tester was pleasantly surprised by how much healthier her hair felt after just one use.
Ghd is synonymous with great hair, so we had no doubts over the capability of this hairdryer. Small but mighty, it doesn’t compromise on safety – it still uses the brand’s trademark safeguard technology, which switches off the hair dryer if it comes too close to your hair so as to prevent overheating.
