Best hair dryer 2021: Dry your 'do quickly and easily

 

(Pocket-lint) - A decent hairdo has a lot of science behind it. Or, at least, there's a lot of work in general. There are several lengths we will all go to to look nice, whether your unique cut needs regular straightening, daily washes or curlers.

However, drying is one constant for most individuals. We all wash our hair, and we've all found ourselves rushing to get to a social commitment or opportunity without having time to dry our hair completely with towels.

Enter hair dryers - an environment full of supernova-hot air cannons for so many years that will scorch your scalp and sizzle your hair.

Now, however, creativity has taken root, and for you to choose from, there is a terrifying selection of dryers on the market. Fortunately, they've brought crazy improvements like temperature regulation, swift action, and safety with them. Right here, we've rounded up all the best ones open to you.

Our pick of the best hair dryers to buy today

Dyson Supersonic

Dyson made real headlines when the Supersonic debuted a few years ago, and with good reason. We will quickly get the first challenge out of the way - this is a massively expensive hair dryer. It's seriously pricey compared to even the more luxury options below.

Then again, it's unquestionably perfect as well. You get extremely fast-drying, but you'll never experience the uncomfortable, familiar heat with gentle use of temperature. It's a high-tech solution that is the best user experience that you can find, but you're going to have to pay for it, of course.

Cloud Nine The Airshot

The Airshot from Cloud Nine is a big step down in price terms, but still very much a luxury dryer. It says this dryer has vitamins infused into its ceramic heating elements to nourish your hair - it dries quickly and effectively, whether that's meaningful or not, which is what it's all about.

You also get heating options, and your hair will get a final whoosh of cold air that should keep your look in place longer, a pleasant touch with its Cool Shot atmosphere. The dryer is extremely lightweight as well, so it won't take up too much room at all.

ghd Air

Ghd's hairdryer is one of those brands that just has pedigree, just like its hair straighteners are close to the top of our estimates. The engine of The Air ensures it can dry your hair super quickly, up to twice as fast as certain rivals, and an ionic system also makes it a bonus for frizz-free drying.

It's well-made with good construction and three speed and temperature choices each, putting the power in your hands. The relatively quiet activity of the air as opposed to many dryers is also a pleasant feature.

BaByliss 2100 Salon Light

We know that for a hairdryer, many people would not want to break into triple figures, and there are plenty of cheap choices out there. Many, however, are dangerous ideas. Not so the 2100 BaByliss. This is a cheap and cheerful dryer for a great price that works effectively.

It has controls so you can select its power and temperature, and a decent long lead to make it easy for you to actually use it. It's also nice and light to carry, if your budget is more tight, making it a perfect all-round kit.

Panasonic EH-NA65

Panasonic's quirky dryer closes our list and, compared to other dryers, brings some fascinating improvements to the table. For one thing, by the clever use of water vapour, they claim to leave you with cleaner, shinier hair than most dryers. It literally powers small quantities of water back onto it as it dries out your hair, to prevent it from actually drying out unhealthily.

Of course, the best thing is that it works, and that is why it is on our list. It's a great dryer that's gentle on your hair as well, which is a very helpful combination, especially if you're prone to frizziness.
