As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you’ll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
What a “good hair day” looks like is highly subjective depending on who you ask, but there’s one thing just about everyone can agree on: the process of blow-drying it to get there is not exactly a fun time. That’s why finding a great product to help you get the job done is so important. Usually, we want something that’s quiet, reduces dry-time, and doesn’t make it feel like you’re doing an arm workout when using it. These key things can make all the difference in your overall styling experience.
Plus, high-quality hair tools can increase shine, smooth frizz (if that’s the look your after), and get you out the door faster — all while working hard to protect hair from heat damage. So don’t get stuck using the same old one you’ve had for years; instead, treat yourself — and your hair — to an upgrade.
To filter through the noise and find the best options out there, we asked beauty editors (and sourced the reviews from your favorite retailers) for insights on the best purchases on the market. We’ve got the best options for all hair types, so check out why these hair dryers ended up on top, and get ready to hit “add to cart.”
