The Top 10 Hair Dryers for Your at Home Blow Out

Mikey Moran

Between dry bars and Dominican hair salons, the blow dryer is a staple in both the straight hair and the natural hair community.

Men and women of all nationalities hit their strands with the heat of a blow dryer anywhere from one to three times a week to rock a straight hair style.

Needless to say, multiple appointments throughout the week can get expensive. So, what can you do to save coins and still have a sleek style?🫰🏿

Buy a good blow dryer and practice your wrist flick to achieve your ideal blowout at home! Keep reading to check out the blow dryers we've deemed the top hair dryers this year.

Amika the Accomplice Hair Dryer

Amika the Accomplice Hair Dryer

Use If You Have: Arms Day at the Gym!

We all know that the best way to achieve a blowout is through sectioning the hair to create manageable sections for the heat to penetrate the hair. However, depending on your hair's thickness, that can double as an upper body workout for some of us.

Cue the superhero anthem; the Amika Accomplice dryer eliminates all of that extra arm work. Its lightweight design takes the burden off of your triceps and biceps to deliver 1800 watts of power through your tresses.

Pop Sugar also names the dryer as one of the eleven top tools to help transitioning naturals achieve sleek styles because of its tourmaline feature. The tourmaline gives off negative ions and far-infrared heat to combat frizz and give you all the perks of a sleek salon blowout at the DIY price.

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer

 

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer

Use If You Have: The Need for a New Blow Drying Toy

Yes, you've read that correctly; Dyson, the vacuum guys have tried their hand at re-inventing the wheel. Or, in this case, the hairdryer. Keep in mind, the hair dryer was first invented in the 1920's and has been consistent with its original design throughout the years.

Nevertheless, Dyson has managed to introduce the Supersonic Hair Dryer with quite a few technological updates.

For starters, this dryer has the smallest motor ever used in a hair dryer! The acorn shaped motor makes this dryer significantly lightweight in comparison to its competitors with motors up to three times that size.

The dryer also has a considerably quieter noise than most dryers possess, which may or may not be surprising considering that Dyson's quiet vacuums are the brand's money maker.

Last but not least, the dryer can go up to 212 degrees Fahrenheit! This is the optimum temperature for little to no heat damage if used correctly. The product's bonuses include a celebrity hairstylist endorsement from celebrity hair guru Jen Atkin and three nozzle attachments.

The styling concentrator, smoothing nozzle, and diffuser are all heatproof and attach to the body of the dyer magnetically. You don't have to worry about melting your styling tool of choice.

Revair Reverse Air Dryer

Revair Reverse Air Dryer

Use If You Have: No Need for a Flat Iron

If you visit the website, you will see that the company boasts about creating a "game-changing product to help you do your hair faster, straighter, sleeker & more." They could be right. Oddly enough, the RevAir Dyer is the first of its kind.

The user can insert their wet hair into the dryer to receive a warm air suction that will pull the moisture from their strands and give strands the appearance of more shine. This all makes logical sense.

Because the traditional dryer blows hot air directly onto your hair to give you a sleeker style, it can also cause the strands to look dry and lifeless after too many uses. The Revair Dryer works in reverse and will not give hair that dry, damaged look over time.

However, it does cause us to wonder why more reverse dryers have not come to the market. All of the demonstration videos show glamorous blowout results, making it a suitable addition to the list of tools to help you DIY yours.

Bio Ionic Power Diva Pro Style Dryer

Bio Ionic Power Diva Pro Style Dryer

Use if You Have: Dry, Damaged Hair

Blowouts are an essential hair styling option for those of us who are always on the go! For all of the ladies racking up frequent flyer miles and traveling the globe, you definitely need this dryer to combat the unlikelihood of finding a dry bar on the road.

The Bio Ionic Power Diva Pro Style Dryer is the answer to that occurrence. It not only has a compact body, but it also comes in a mini form that is perfect for your suitcase. You can whip it out to achieve a blowout with volume and shine.

What's different about this dryer is its ability to dissolve the water that is in your hair. While the conventional hair dryer heats up room temperature air, the Dive Pro Styler is ionic, so it generates ionic particles to trap moisture in the hair and then break it down.

GHD Air Hairdryer

GHD Air Hairdryer

Use If You Have: Thick Hair

The GHD Air Hairdryer claims to dry hair quicker than its competitors. And with its 2100-watt motor, we don't doubt that! The dryer is also composed of Ionic technology that is prime for thick hair.

With its two heat and speed settings, you get more control over the styling of your hair, and the higher temperature setting can help you get through those thick sections quickly and with ease. Keep this in mind, and be sure to fluctuate between the two settings.

Use a heat protectant spray to avoid heat damage. Not to mention, the GHD also comes with a cold air shot button. This button is the help you need when it comes to holding your style. It's also the reason why you won't have to go back to the dryer continuously between full-blown wash days.

The dryer also has the perks of a long salon cord so you can travel away from your bathroom mirror if need be, as well as two different nozzle attachments to fit your airflow needs.

Twin Turbo 3200 Dryer

Use If You Have: Fine Hair

If you have fine hair, heat is not your friend. I repeat all of my fine hair friends walk away from the heat! Okay, so now that that is out of the way, you should take a look at the Twin Turbo 3200 dryer!

With its four temperatures and two speeds, if you have a fine grade of hair, you can control the amount of heat you are using on your strands. It is essential that you monitor what temperature works for you before heat damaging your tresses!

This dryer also comes equipped with an anti-overheating device. So, if you are not sure what temperature to use, the dryer can manage the heat for you.

If you'd like our advice, keep the dryer set cool while drying your hair and then shoot it with the cold shot to hold your straight style.

Drybar Buttercup Blow Dryer

The Buttercup Blow Dryer is the product of an actual dry bar team so not only is it legit, but it's battle tested! To give you the hair you walk out of your salon with, the Buttercup works to seal your hair's cuticles with its conditioning nanobeads.

These beads leave the hair silky and straight without the use of too much product. The Buttercup blow dryer has three temperatures and two speed settings to work on a few different types of hair. It also comes with a self-locking cool shot button that you don't have to press down on to get your burst of cold air!

These salo experts included a narrow nozzle attachment as well! This means that if you've recently decided to get bangs for the approaching season, Buttercup has you covered.

For all of you naturally, curly ladies tired of getting your curls diffused at a pricey salon, go to your nearest DevaCurl retailer and grab the DevaDryer and DevaFuser for your home hair salon!

All this while providing each section with 360-degree airflow to enhance your natural curls and cut drying time.
