Top 6 Blow Dryers

Standing in the aisle looking for a new hair dryer can be daunting. Unless you have a Consumer Reports guide in your hand (we don't know if they review blow dryers) how to tell which ones are best? Actually, all you need to remember is a few brands that are all-time favorites: Conair for inexpensive dryers & Tourmaline for pricier picks. Here's the rundown on the best dryers on the market from cheap to steep.

1. Best Inexpensive Blow-Dryer: Conair Ion Shine 1875

According to InStyle Magazine's best beauty buy issue, Conair dryers are the next best thing to a professional dryer. So if you are standing in the aisle, head for Conair, especially this Ion Shine 1875 version (about $21.95). InStule calls it 'strong, hot, powerful and cheap.' Sold! Comes with attachments & several settings. We just love the bright color.

2. Best High-Powered Blow-Dryer: Supersolano

At $125, it's not cheap. But it is the overwhelming pick of professionals who love it because it can straighten even the thickest, curliest hair. You'll love its washable filter, multiple heat settings & power.

3. Best Ionic Blow Dryer: Bio Ionic

We won't go into the technical reasons ionic dryers work so well, but trust us that ionic dryers work about 40 percent faster than regular dryers, leaving hair silky & glossy. But the time saved does come at a price: about $175.

Another great choice:T3 Tourmaline Ionic Blow Dryer

4. Best (Inexpensive) Ionic Blow Dryer: Conair Infiniti Professional Ionic Styler

Can't afford the fancy ionic dryers like the T3? No problem. Stylists claim this drugstore version dries hair faster than non-ionic versions & makes hair shiny. Cost: $36.95-$48.95.

5. Best Inexpensive Travel Dryer: Conair Travel Ionic Dryer

Again, Conair is the best inexpensive brand on the market. This ionic dryer is small & fits perfectly in any suitcase.

6. Best High-Powered Travel Dryer: T3 Tourmaline Overnight Travel Dryer

Lightweight & efficient, this travel dryer is the choice of stylists who travel. The handle folds & it has dual voltage for traveling overseas.
