A beauty tech reviewer has evaluated 22 hair dryers, identifying top models for different needs. The reviewer, who has four years of experience in beauty product reviews, used an anemometer to test wind speed and a sound meter for noise levels.
The BaByliss Hydro-Fusion is recommended as the best budget option, featuring a 2,100W motor and a maximum wind speed of 26.4m/s. It is described as effective against frizz and flyaways, and quieter than many other models tested.
For curly hair, the Panasonic Nanoe Moisture+ EH NA0J is highlighted for its Nanoe technology, which adds moisture to hair. This model has a distinctive shape and is noted for its ability to gently diffuse curly and coily hair types.
The Dyson Supersonic Nural is identified as suitable for sensitive scalps, offering luxury design and healthy styling. However, it is noted for its high price and marginally slower speeds compared to some other models.
