From the time the primary hair dryer was launched for house use within the Nineteen Twenties, each one seemed almost an identical till Dyson debuted its Supersonic dryer in 2016, which matched the design of its bladeless followers. Now, a number of corporations are adapting their drying tech into the lightest, thinnest bundle potential, wanting extra like a warmth gun than a hair dryer (I assume these are a kind of warmth gun, technically).
I’ve used these three. They’re every lower than a pound, comparatively quiet, and have self-cleaning capabilities—you’re taking the filter cowl off the again and activate cleansing mode; the dryers shoot air in reverse to push mud and particles out. Whereas every one stands out by itself, I want I might mix all three for one good dryer.
Chi Lava Professional for $337: This one is barely lighter than the opposite two. It has an LED display indicating the precise temperature, which is a pleasant however uncommon function, and there are 4 warmth settings from cool to 250 levels Fahrenheit. The large flaw, nonetheless, is that far an excessive amount of air comes by means of the diffuser, blowing hair round greater than ought to occur with that attachment.
Gama IQ2 Perfetto for $430: The Gama dryer is modern and features a security function to mechanically flip off ought to it overheat (it didn’t do that in testing, fortunately). There is a setting lock so you possibly can dry your hair with out by chance altering the velocity or warmth. Plus, it comes with a silicone mat that places the dryer into standby mode mechanically if you place it down, turning again on if you choose it up. That is actually useful in the event you’re sectioning off hair for a blowout, and incessantly must put the dryer down. However it’s costly and the magnetic filter cowl continually falls off.
Bio Ionic Sensible-X Excessive-Effectivity Dryer for $329: This Bio Ionic additionally has a settings lock, which I now imagine must be on each styling instrument. I favor the look of this one the perfect, nonetheless, it does not include a diffuser, which I feel must be commonplace at this value level.
