The buttons are easy to use, but the cool-shot button is a little small and harder to hold down than the cool-shot button on our top pick. Versatility is key when it comes to hairstyling tools, and the Solia Hair Dryer doesn’t disappoint in this regard. With multiple heat and speed settings, as well as a cool shot button, users have the flexibility to customize their drying and styling experience according to their hair type and desired look.

Best for thick, dense, or curly/coily/kinky hair

For people with Type 3 or 4 curl patterns especially, this vacuum-like device is gentle on fragile strands and can cut down total drying time significantly. One tester, who usually requires two back-to-back appointments with a professional stylist at Drybar, now achieves similar drying and smoothing results with the RevAir in as little as 20 minutes. The RevAir has an exceptionally large footprint compared with most dryers.

We’re proud that our staff spans a wide range of ages, skin tones, hair textures, genders, and backgrounds, which means that we are able to fairly assess any beauty product that comes into the beauty closet. To minimize heat damage, look for tools that feature multiple temperature settings because high heat isn't always necessary—especially for fine hair types. If you have the time, low heat is best for stymieing damage caused by heated hair tools, and don't forget to prep with a heat-protectant. You might already be using one, though, as many leave-in products include protective ingredients. Cosmetic chemist Ginger King previously told Allure readers to look for heat-protecting products whose formulas feature ingredients like meadowfoam seed oil and VP/DMAPA acrylates copolymer.

Their designs also made it difficult for us to directly reach hair roots compared with the other paddle-style hair dryer brushes we tested. Speed and heat are the only features that matter for drying your hair efficiently, and with a 55 mph airflow that exceeds 245 °F, the Rusk W8less Professional 2000 Watt Dryer is one of the fastest and hottest dryers we tested. It weighs less than a pound, it has an 8-foot cord (one of the longest we found), it’s notably comfortable to hold, and overall it has the best combination of features we deem important.

One caveat, though, is that it comes with only one attachment — a contouring nozzle — but the brand has a compatible diffuser, which is available for purchase separately. “It’s the ease of using it that makes it attractive, and it gives you that salon finish,” says Karla Marabello, owner of K’Bello Organic Hair in New Jersey. The Revlon One-Step is also great even for those with thick and curly hair, she says. Of the Dyson Supersonic lookalikes, the Karrong F350 seemed the most promising to us, but it ended up being half as fast, with no way to control speed separately from temperature—the hotter it got, the faster it got.

The handle is straight and a tad thicker than that of the Rusk W8less, too. Dyson says the motor placement makes the weight of the dryer more balanced, since it’s not top-heavy. The difference isn’t huge, but over weeks of using the Supersonic, we found ourselves appreciating the configuration. If you have trouble holding a typical dryer overhead, the weight distribution of this one might make gripping easier, a reader told us. We took basic stats on our dryers, using a weather meter to test the speed and heat and a postage scale to weigh them.

Solia Professional Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer Review - Good Housekeeping

Solia Professional Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer Review.

It’s heavy, but you don’t have to hold it high like a conventional dryer. Rather than raising the dryer to your hair, however, you insert sections of your hair into the wand; the device then quickly and gently sucks the damp hair dry. It offers seven suction power levels and three heat settings (high, low, or the no-heat cool shot). Moreover, the inclusion of concentrator and diffuser attachments enhances the dryer’s versatility, allowing for precise styling and targeted airflow.

Professional hairstylists praise the Solia Hair Dryers for its reliability and consistency, noting its seamless integration into their salon routines. From everyday blowouts to intricate styling for special occasions, the Solia Hair Dryers proves to be a versatile and indispensable tool in their arsenal. Marabello says a lighter, smaller dryer like this one is best for clients to use on their own because they can more easily maneuver the brush.

TOOLS AS BEAUTIFUL AS YOU

If you want to add volume, consider using the wide tooth comb attachment, or use the concentrator nozzle attachment to focus on the roots and small sections. To keep your dryer in good condition, don’t forget to clean the filter and wipe away any product residue, like leave-in conditioner or a heat protectant, according to the brand. Its tourmaline ceramic technology helps seal in moisture and prevent frizzy hair, experts told us. Other attachments include the brand’s Double-Layered Detangler Pik and Single-Layered Detangler Pik that help smooth and straighten hair, according to Kiss.

The Solia Rose Gold Collection is made for overachievers that take their cues from the pros. High-performing, ingeniously designed, and ready to take on any hair type, it creates head-turning styles with salon perfection. As good-looking as it is brilliant, this beauty is your new best friend—and ultimately your ticket to endless possibilities, so you can have it all. Although the 1,875-watt Revlon Compact Styler is a wallet saver at around $10, the savings do not make up for the dryer’s added heft, its lack of attachments, and its reduced wind speeds compared with those of our picks. The Conair InfinitiPro SmoothWrap Hair Dryer is slower and has a shorter cord than all of our picks.

Its lightweight construction and balanced design ensure effortless handling, reducing strain on the wrist and arm during prolonged use. The strategically positioned controls allow for intuitive operation, allowing users to adjust settings with ease, even in the midst of styling sessions. This is a particularly good hair dryer for those who want something that doesn't sound like a jet engine taking off in your bathroom.

The W8less comes with a concentrator, which is helpful for straightening hair, but it does not come with a diffuser. NBC Select newsletter editor McKenna Moore says this blow dryer and diffuser combo has been her most consistently used option after it was recommended to her by her hairstylist. After removing excess water from her hair and letting her curls air dry as long as possible, Moore, who has fine, 3a curly hair, uses the dryer to add shine and volume without adding frizz. The dryer allows her to adjust the temperature and intensity settings to meet the needs of her hair each day. “I absolutely love how easy this combo is to use, especially for a girl who’s never styled her hair much before,” she says.

This Conair tool is a favorite of Foster’s because of its powerful ion generator that reduces frizz. This model has a 1.5-inch titanium ceramic-coated barrel that distributes heat evenly, and its ionic technology ensures a no-frizz blowout, according to the brand. At an impressive 11 feet long, the currently unavailable CHI Touch 2 Dryer’s cord is the longest of any dryer we’ve tested, but this dryer is more expensive and much slower than the Rusk W8less.

It weighs less than a pound, so it’s lightweight enough to hold when you’re drying your hair at home, says Foster. If you want a slightly more affordable option, opt for the Pro Dryer 2000 from the brand. Elchim offers an impressive warranty and repair program that covers all its hair dryers.

Many hair dryers come with (or are compatible with) attachments that allow you to tailor your blow-out experience to your needs. Abergel noted that, for example, using a concentrator nozzle that precisely hits hard-to-reach areas is key to achieving salon-level results. "It concentrates the air and aids in directing the airflow exactly where you want it to go," Abergel previously explained. This concentrated airflow also helps the cuticle of the hair lay flat so that it will be shinier and less frizzy, according to Los Angeles-based hairstylist Kiki Heitkotter. We also tried the Hot Tools One-Step Detachable Straight Dry Paddle Dryer and the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Styler, both of which were clunkier, heavier, and slower to dry hair than the Conair.
