My hair dryers are some of my most precious belongings. They help me get my hair dry after a good wash and get me the volume I need to wear my hairstyle with pride. While I’ve used many hair dryers in the past, there are definitely ones that tend to be better than the rest. I knew my hair deserved better.
Your hair deserves better.
You want to make sure that your is thoroughly dry – but not too dry that the hair dryer burns your strands. That’s what cheap ones do to you. Check out these hair dryers to avoid long-lasting damage, so you can keep your healthy strands.
REVLON Hair Dryer
“I wasn’t expecting much when I bought this hair dryer. It was less than 10 bucks so I couldn’t expect it to be that great of a product. However, I needed a hair dryer at a cheap price. When I got Revlon’s hair dryer, I was surprised at how effective it was. I’m very low maintenance with my hair, & just wanted this hair dryer to dry my hair after I shower. This hair dryer did just that. It’s not a huge dryer either, so it can be very travel friendly. There’s also no bad hair drying smells that come out of it either, which is even better. Overall, I would recommend this product.” — Dina C.
Rose Gold REVLON Salon Infrared Hair Dryer
“I needed a cheap hair dyer in a time pinch but didn’t have time to research. Some of my girlfriends were trying to talk me into buying a $200 hair dryer and after talking to them, my expectations were very low. I’m not sure what kind of job a $200 hair dryer is supposed to do but I was pleasantly surprised with how fast this hair dryer dried my very thick hair!” — Allison
REVLON Volume Booster Hair Dryer
“So far so good. First hair dryer I’ve ever had with a diffusing attachment and it works great. Can’t beat the price and the color is so pretty. Has 3 heat settings which is useful. Better than the last dryer I had, for less money. Win win” — Jessica Garrison
INFINITIPRO BY CONAIR Full Body & Shine Pro Dryer
“I LOVE this hair dryer. I am a flight attendant and prefer to bring my own. My fold-up Conair dryer finally died after 6-7 years. The newer version didn’t blow well. Thank you to the reviewers who said this “blows too hard – and dries their hair before they can style it”. That’s exactly what I was looking for! It’s “windy” not “breezy”. 😜. And I like that it has temperature controls and cold shot. And it’s quite small – packs nicely. I would definitley recommend this.” — Elle
REVLON One-Step Hair Dryer & Styler
“This product really deserves it’s five star review. Let be really clear here, I HAVE 4C HAIR, No Really 4c hair. I spend so much time detangling my hair that it is ridiculous!!! I mean hours and I have tried every trick in the book. By the time I finish one section the other has gotten tangled again. My hair is so thick that it would take me 45 minutes to blow it dry, so I just never did it. I was able to blow dry my hair on the cool setting in 20 minutes. I did use heat protectant along with a leave in in as well as some black castor oil heavily on the ends. I am able to comb thru my hair, now. I am so relieved. I think I am going to start seeing some real growth now that I will not be putting off my wash days because I simply don’t have the time for all that detangling. Not to mention that I was always losing a lot of hair with the detangling process.”
“There was some hair in the brush styler but nothing compared to my usual hair loss. I love this product. I did notice that the high setting was really hot, I just used the cool setting and it worked wonders. The bristles are very malleable and the bristle tips are rounded. I have read that some folks have had a problem getting their roots to dry. I had no problem at all. This product is well worth the price. I would have paid three times as much just to be able to part my hair without all of the tangles.” — Amazon Customer
TREZORO Salon Hair Dryer
“I wasn’t expecting this to be the last blowdryer I’ll ever need, but it is the last blowdryer I’ll ever need lol
My pictures are of my hair when it dries naturally and my hair dried with this blowdryer. I am amazed! No frizz! I love the sound it makes, as it is very quiet and I love the heat and fan settings. Dries my hair FAST and effectively. I’m looking at my hair in the mirror over and over because I’m used to only hair irons being able to get these results. My hair is normally ridiculous to work with and the only thing that’s ever given me results like this were CHI irons. To think I only need a dryer to achieve these results will save me a lot of time and a lot of heat damage! Recommend 100%” — K. C.
Conair Compact Hair Dryer
“Nice little compact hair dryer. Enough power to dry and style my shoulder length hair in a straight style and remove some natural waves. I purchased this to take to the gym, don’t know if I will need to travel with it. Switching from 125 to 250 volts will require a screwdriver or a dime to turn the screw. One issue is the painted on arrow that indicates voltage could wear off with time. I will have to remember that the slot (for the screwdriver) points away from the voltage being used.” — Robin
INFINITIPRO BY CONAIR Quick Styling Salon Dryer
“I own the same exact blow dryer and it’s 4 years old and STILL going strong. I bought it from Target for $30. My sister needed one for her at home hair treatments and so I purchased one for her on Amazon because it’s much cheaper. The power is incredible and the settings have many options. It has never steered me wrong. I dropped it, used it to blow up an air mattress using the cold setting and it has never disappointed me. I love the 2 attachments it comes with. I use the narrow one to straighten my hair and the diffuser to enhance my curls. It’s perfect. It has a long life span so it’s definitely worth a try. You’ll love.” — Amazon Customer
Kiss All-In-One Hair Dryer
“LOVED this new dryer!!! The drying power is super. Dries thick hair quick! Not too heavy not to lightweight. It takes me hours to do my daughter’s hair and both she and I dread it. But not tonight. She didn’t cry not fear the “fryer” as she calls it lol. Shaved an hour off of doing her hair because of this dryer. A MUST buy for my sistas with thick long natural hair!!! I plan to do my hair tomorrow.” — Marsha Morgan
REVLON One-Step Hair Dryer And Volumizer Hot Air Brush
“I waited until I had used this for a month to review… still as in love with it as day one. My hair is naturally wavy and I let it air dry halfway before using the dryer/straightener. It does a perfect job and leaves my hair super soft/silky. I one hundred percent say ‘BUY!’ I’d you are at all the fence. This thing is fantastic and has cut my time getting ready in half!” — Amazon Customer
