Finding a hairdryer that's just right for you can be quite a challenge. Because a good quality hairdryer that you know how to use and that doesn't damage your hair is a must. And given the plethora of hairdryers on the market, always think about what you actually expect from it first.

A quality hairdryer should offer multiple airflow speeds, temperature control and the ability to switch to cold air. You will also find differences in weight, noise and accessories. How simple and easy the hairdryer is to use will have a significant impact on your user experience. 

You might be wondering why you should blow-dry your hair if it's ruining it. Now let's debunk this myth. "Blow-drying is very important for a healthy scalp," says hair stylist Martina Cowboy. 

If you let your hair dry freely, the scalp can become inflamed, and this can lead to other problems such as dandruff. Of course, don't forget to protect your hair from excess heat. Which hairdryers did our hair stylist choose and what attracted her most to them?

Hairdryer reviews 

BaByliss Veloce 6750DE

What I liked the most

Of the hairdryers I have tested, the BaByliss Veloce is really the best travel hair dryer. It's portable and powerful, so it's ideal for travelling, when you often need to blow dry without much styling - for example, when you need to add volume to your hair.

Advantages: Size and design are the key features of this hairdryer. I was pleased with the ionisation, the cool air for setting a hairstyle, the two attachments and diffuser.

Disadvantages: The hairdryer has excellent power with 2200 W, but it is noisier.

Rowenta Maestria Ultimate Experience CV9920F0

What I liked the most

I really enjoyed the intuitive controls of the Rowenta Maestria Ultimate Experience CV9920F0. 3 temperatures, 3 speeds, 9 combinations in total. This hairdryer is really lightweight and delicate, thanks to the materials used, so you can work with it for a long time without your hand hurting. That means even children can use the hairdryer. It is one of those designs that even men will love. It's just such a powerful modern toy.

Advantages: The high airflow delivers a maxi performance you'll love. The hairdryer has perfect sound (as in quiet), which will please all members of the household. A smooth blow dry attachment and diffuser are included, so it really is a hairdryer for everyone. And the bonus? Air-To-Care Ionisation technology for shine and smoothness.

Disadvantages: The only downside was that I had to get used to the lightness of the hairdryer.

Remington PROluxe AC9140

What I liked the most

The Remington PROluxe AC9140 most resembles hairdryers for professionals. It has a balanced shape with a heavier body as it has a really powerful motor - 2400 watts. The hairdryer does not move in the hand, it is easily held. The perfect curves are enhanced by the ivory colour with gold and black details.

Advantages: The three metre long cord may not be appreciated by everyone, but for me it's a must have at the salon.  You literally have all the controls "under your thumb". Two speeds, three temperature functions for cold air plus switching to ionisation.

Disadvantages: I didn't find any disadvantages. For me this hairdryer is a complete love story!
