BaBylissPRO BX2000 Ceramix Xtreme Hair Dryer
While price equates to quality with many tech items, that's not necessarily the case with hot tools. Don't be fooled by the price tag, you can get just as solid of a performance from a budget-buy as you might from a more expensive alternative. Case in point, the Revlon 1875W Lightweight + Fast Dry Hair Dryer, which taps into your hair's natural moisture to remove excess water without drying your hair out.
The Hot Tools Signature Series Ionic 2200 Turbo Ceramic Salon Hair Dryer, which uses ionic technology to keep hair from overdrying and weighs less than two pounds, so your arms won't get tired as you're drying.
This BaBylissPRO BX2000 Ceramix Xtreme Hair Dryer, also features infrared heat, six speeds, and six heat options. The device comes with a concentrator attachment and diffuser to assists with sleeker or curly styling.

Panasonic Nanoe Hair Dryer
T3's Cura Luxe Dryer redefines the term smart device. Five heat and two speed settings, plus an automatic shut-off feature when you put it down, is precisely why we awarded this tool a 2020 Best of Beauty Award.
The quiet motor and attachments alone make Panasonic Nanoe Hair Dryer a worthwhile purchase. Let's start with the oscillating head. The fan-like motion dries hair quickly and with more even distributed heat less focused heat, so there's less damage. The nine-foot cord also makes for easy maneuvering around your bathroom.
GHD Helios Hair Dryer
BaBylissPRO Graphite Titanium Ionic Hair Dryer
Another Best of Beauty winner, the GHD Helios Hair Dryer has a brushless motor that pumps air out at a speed of 75 miles per hour. If you're in a hurry to get out the door, there's no better tool than this one. The slim nozzle also allows you to smooth roots more precisely.
Known for their ability to dry the hair faster due to the high, steady temperatures, titanium hair dryers are for those with a bit more skill in the hair department. But if you're up for the challenge, the BaBylissPRO Graphite Titanium Ionic Hair Dryer is a good starting point. The blow-dryer combines three heat settings and two speeds with a navigator attachment that smoothes hair as you can dry.

Hot Tools Pro Signature Detachable One Step Round Brush and Hair Dryer
Blow-dryer brushes are a newer favorite of those looking for quick and easy smoothing and volume. These types of tools require less maneuvering than trying to juggle a separate dryer and a brush.
Revlon's One-Step Hair Dryer & Styler blows out hot hair at two heat settings and is shaped in a paddle brush style that makes it easier to cover larger areas of hair at once. The barrel of Hot Tools Professional 24K Gold One Step Dryer Volumizer is rounded but slightly flat like the paddle brush to simultaneously smooth hair and create a bit of lift at the roots.
Another option in the Hot Tools family is the Pro Signature Detachable One Step Round Brush and Hair Dryer, which is available in three different barrel sizes including this one-and-a-half-inch option. The brush head comes off for convenient storage or travel.

For more traditional strand slicking, Hot Tools Signature Series Ceramic Digital Flat Iron has you covered. The ceramic plates distribute heat evenly and stay hot so you can smooth hair in fewer passes.
The floating plates on Remington's Anti-Static Flat Iron allow for an easier glide and less frizz. These plates are also slightly longer than other flatiron options so you can style larger sections of hair at a time.
