Most hair dryers are effective at blowing hot air toward your head—sometimes quite fast—in order to speed along your hair styling from showering to whatever’s next. It’s the small differences between models that can make a big difference overall, particularly with daily use. After putting in 20 hours of research and spending nearly 50 hours testing 39 dryers, we’ve found that some dryers are far more pleasant to hold and use than others. Because it provides an excellent experience for the price, we think the Rusk W8less Professional 2000 Watt Dryer is the best choice.

Rusk W8less Professional 2000 Watt Dryer, fast and light

Rusk W8less Professional 2000 Watt Dryer

Fast and light
Our favorite hair dryer is lightweight and equipped with a long cord, and among the models we tested, it tied for blowing the hottest and fastest air. We like it just as much as dryers several times the price.
We recommend
InfinitiPro by Conair 1875-Watt Salon Performance AC Motor Styling Tool, fast but heavy

InfinitiPro by Conair 1875-Watt Salon Performance AC Motor Styling Tool

Fast but heavy
Although this dryer is just as fast as pricier models, it’s one of the heaviest we tested, and its attachments can be hard to remove.
Budget friendly
Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer, a joy to use

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer

A joy to use
It’s expensive, but the unique design makes it extraordinarily nice to use: There’s no vibration whatsoever, and the simple-to-switch magnetic attachments make styling easier.
A better upgrade
RevAir, best for thick, dense, or curly/coily/kinky hair

RevAir

Best for thick, dense, or curly/coily/kinky hair
It’s pricey, it’s bulky, and it works—quickly and gently. For hair that’s fragile or difficult to blow-dry with a conventional hair dryer, the RevAir is worth considering.
