There's a reason Dyson's OG Supersonic was dubbed Marie Claire's Best Overall Hair Dryer ever. Its small but powerful motor can dry your hair faster than any other blow dryer we've tested. Also, its intelligent heat control system measures temperature over 40 times a second to regulate the heat and prevent heat damage. Julia Marzovilla, Marie Claire's Fashion E-Commerce Editor has tested this pick herself and says, "I've noticed that my routine is cut in half when I use the Dyson Supersonic. I normally use the highest heat and speed settings, and I haven't noticed significant damage," she adds. "It just leaves my hair looking shiny and healthy."
Customer Review: "I am so impressed with this dryer! My hair dried in on-third of the time of my previous drier, which means healthier hair, with less time exposed to heat. The heat was also reasonable, the power of the drier eliminates the need to be super hot. My hair feels amazing, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase!" — Ulta

I personally used this hair dryer on a recent trip to my mom's house and I was blown away (pun intended) by its power—I was able to dry my in less than five minutes.
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

Samantha Holender, Marie Claire's Beauty Editor, says, "This travel dryer is my most prized possession. I have two because my friends are constantly asking to borrow one."

You also get three haircare products when you buy it on Sephora's website: a heat protectant, a weightless styling foam, and a bonding repair treatment. It's a win-win.
How adorable is this pink blow dryer? Aside from the cute color (there's nine other to choose from if it doesn't suit your fancy), it's also incredibly functional. A built-in negative ion generator will produce less frizz and shinier, smoother hair while a heat-control system constantly measures and adjusts the temperature to ensure minimal heat damage. Along with the diffuser, a bonus is the straightening comb attachment specifically designed to detangle and brush through curls.
Customer Review: "I absolutely love the pink color and how powerful it blows. The dryer has 2 speed settings and 4 different temperatures to choose from. It’s lightweight but yet blows very strong and drys hair quickly. The power cord could be longer." — 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.
