From the time the primary hair dryer was launched for house use within the Twenties, each one seemed almost similar 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, trying 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 features—you are taking the filter cowl off the again and activate cleansing mode; the dryers shoot air in reverse to push mud and particles out. Whereas each 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 characteristic, and there are 4 warmth settings from cool to 250 levels Fahrenheit. The massive flaw, nonetheless, is that far an excessive amount of air comes by way of the diffuser, blowing hair round greater than ought to occur with that attachment.
Gama IQ2 Perfetto for $430: The Gama dryer is smooth and features a security characteristic to mechanically flip off ought to it overheat (it didn’t do that in testing, fortunately). There is a setting lock so you may dry your hair with out unintentionally altering the pace 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 for those who’re sectioning off hair for a blowout, and steadily need to put the dryer down. However it’s costly and the magnetic filter cowl continuously falls off.
Bio Ionic Good-X Excessive-Effectivity Dryer for $329: This Bio Ionic additionally has a settings lock, which I now imagine ought to be on each styling device. I favor the look of this one one of the best, nonetheless, it does not include a diffuser, which I believe ought to be normal at this worth level.
