Maybe it’s not powerful enough to dry your hair quickly. Maybe it leaves your hair looking dull.

Customer Review: "I left my old hair dryer on vacation and after receiving and using this one I’m actually happy to have forgotten the old one behind. This hair dryer is great. It is a little quieter than other hairdryers I’ve owned. It also has a lot more power. I have a lot of hair and it is dry in about 20 minutes which is record time for me. I like that it has options for high and low blower speed and hot, warm, or cool air. I also like that it came with the attachments. I’ve never used them before and they are great. I don’t even need to use my straightener when I use the smooth attachment. I highly recommend this hair dryer!" — Amazon

What to Look For in a Hair Dryer?

Here’s a brief rundown of everything you should look out for when shopping for the best hair dryer or blow dryer brush:

  • Lots of Heat and Speed Settings: Most hair dryers on the market have a combination of two speed settings and three heat settings. Many of the blow dryers and blow dryer brushes on this list have more options than that, which gives you maximum versatility and control when styling. Some dryers on this list are great because they’re made with tech that automatically checks the exact temperature of the air as you dry, which reduces the amount of heat applied to the hair (and therefore, causes less damage.)
  • A Cold Shot Function: Cold shot buttons are there to set your style in place. Think of the cold air as a sort of setting spray for your hair: It locks in all the work you’ve done by rapidly cooling the hair and makes the style last longer.
  • Attachments: Attachments like diffusers, concentrators, or built-in brushes make your styling experience simpler. Picking a dryer that comes with more than one attachment is great if you have curly hair or thick hair.
  • A Lightweight Feel: No one wants to feel like they just worked out after a styling session. The dryers on this list are rated by real-life users who rave about how easy they are to use and how lightweight they feel.

When Do Black Friday Sales Start?

Black Friday officially lands on November 29, a.k.a, the Friday after Thanksgiving, but the good news is that the sales have already started! Nowadays, brands and retailers are cashing in on keen shoppers and dropping their deals earlier and earlier. For example, Ulta and Nordstrom's Black Friday sales are already well underway.

What Brands Take Part in Black Friday?

If you've had your eye on a specific blow dryer, there's a good chance it will be on sale during Black Friday. Because Black Friday sales have gotten so competitive, nearly every brand you can think of participates. Last year we saw blow dryer deals from T3, Drybar, Revlon, ghd, Chi, Conair, Hot Tools, Shark, and more, so we're expecting the same this year.

What Deals Can We Expect on Black Friday?

When I say you can expect thousands of deals on Black Friday, I really mean it. Every brand and retailer you can think of will likely be throwing some kind of discount or promotion. Typically, it's a blanket promo or sitewide sale, but you may also see BOGO promotions, gifts with purchases, or tiered discounts.
