Hair Dryers
How to choose hair dryers
Type
Choose between a Hair Care dryer and a Hair Styling Tools device such as a volumizer brush.
Colour
Pick a colour from black, white, pink, grey, red, gold, blue, purple, green or silver to match your space.
Material
Material drives feel: plastic keeps weight low, while metal or copper adds heft and a premium look.
Power source
Corded full-size models give speed; cordless mini ones trade that for portability.
Hair type
If your hair is curly, a dryer built for curly and coily types beats a generic 2200W model.
What's good
- Full-size corded dryers in the 2200W tier dry thick hair fast.
- Cordless mini blowers work away from a socket, good for travel or small craft jobs.
- Multi-styling tools fold dryer, straightener, curler and detangling brush into one device, saving storage.
- Ionic ceramic units reduce static better than plain plastic models.
- Dryers tuned for curly and coily hair protect the curl pattern with diffused air.
Things to watch
- Cordless mini dryers trade wattage for portability, so drying takes longer than a 2200W corded unit.
- All-in-one stylers feel heavier in the hand than a basic dryer.
- Bodies finished in metal, copper or silver look smart but weigh more than plastic ones.
- Hot air brushes need regular brush cleaning, a step a simple dryer avoids.
- Entry plastic dryers often lack ionic or ceramic features found higher up the range.
Care & maintenance
Filter
Clear lint from the rear filter on corded 2200W dryers every few uses.
Brush care
Wipe brush heads on styling tools with a damp cloth after use.
Battery
Keep cordless mini units charged, and avoid wrapping the cable tight around the body.
Storage
Store items with silicone or nylon parts away from direct heat to prevent warping.
