Top 10: Best hairdryers
Getting ready for a big night out means have the right tools at your disposal. Make sure your hair is on point with our pick of the ten best hairdryers at a range of price points.
Unibos Compact
It would be hard to grumble at a hairdryer this inexpensive, but the Unibos Compact actually has a lot going for it. Although it’s a downsized hairdryer designed for travel it still offers 1200W of power, a usefully-long 1.65m cable and most importantly two heat settings to suit your needs.
BaByliss 5282BDU Nano Dry
Another bargain travel hairdryer, this BaByliss Nano Dry packs a useful punch for one so small thanks to the 1200W motor. Suitable for multi-voltage use and lightweight makes it ideal for travel use, and there are two speeds and two heat settings to cover all the bases.
MHU Professional Ionic Hair Dryer
This MHU model is one of the cheapest on the market to offer ionic conditioning. Better still it also comes with infrared heat, which the makers claim dries your hair more quickly using less heat - which is good news for your hair. Three heat settings and two speeds are available and two attachments come as standard, including a diffuser.
Remington AC8008 Keratin Protect Dryer
Like some of the other hairdryers here this Remington model offers ionic conditioning to infuse naturally-occurring moisture into your hair, but the AC8008 offers something extra thanks to its ceramic-coated grille infused with keratin and almond oil for a further boost. The mighty 2200W motor has two speed settings, plus three heat settings and a cool shot, with two nozzles and a diffuser to suit every style.
ETI Turbodryer 3500 Professional Salon Hair Dryer
A solid salon-spec hairdryer here from ETI that comfortably covers all the bases with a strong specification. The powerful 2000W motor and two-speed control means airflow exactly how you want it, while there are four heat settings including cool shot for setting your style. It also includes two nozzles and a massive 3m cord so you can reach the best mirror in the room with ease.

GHD Air Hair Dryer
GHD are a brand best known for their straighteners but they have turned their expertise to produce this Air hair dryer. It has a 2100W motor, more powerful than most on the market, and includes ionic conditioning for better results. There are two speed and two heat settings plus cool shot, and includes a long 3m cable for easier use. It’s also suitable for left- and right-handed use, and has clocked up an impressive 4.4 stars out of 5 from 234 reviews.
Panasonic EH-NA65 Hair Dryer
The key selling point of this Panasonic blower is ‘Nanoe’ technology, which according to the blurb takes naturally-occuring ions in the air that are combined with water molecules which are then infused into your hair as it drys. If that sounds somewhat fanciful, 75 per cent of Amazon reviewers gave it 5 stars out of 5 with many saying their hair felt softer and smoother as claimed. Plus it has a massive 2.7m cord, three heat and speed setting plus diffuser and quick-dry nozzle.
Dyson Supersonic
No list containing electrical goods that either blow or suck can be complete without an offering from Dyson. Comfortably the most expensive hair dryer you can buy that isn’t finished with diamonds, the Dyson mounts its regular digital motor in the handle so it is easier to handle. It has three speed settings and digital heat control so it won’t overheat and damage your hair. The design also means long hair won't get caught in the fan, which is never fun.
