Product Information

I used this on one my clients with soft curls, and while it felt light and easy to use, the diffuser attachment was a little too small for my liking,” says Timothy. Timothy put the hair dryers to task in his London salon on a range of his private clients with Type 1 (straight), Type 2 (wavy), Type 3 (curly) and Type 4 (kinky or coily) hair types.

The best hair dryers also come with variable heat and speed settings for quick, yet gentle, blow drying and technology that helps to nourish hair and improve hair volume.Equipped with one of the longest nozzle attachments we tested meant that we could direct heat in specific sections. While it’s just as compact as the similarly functional Revlon One Step Volumiser Plus, it’s slightly heavier and at 95 decibels on its highest setting, slightly louder in use. And if you’re perfecting your hair care skills, why not check out our guides to the best hair washing products and the best hair straighteners next? It comes with two concentrator heads to suit different hair types and works particularly well for smoothing out curls. Celebrity hair stylist Timothy David recommends choosing a hair dryer with a good range of heat controls that promises to be gentle on your hair.

Our InStyle editor who tested this model has type 3B/3C coarse hair, with a mix of curls and coils that have only been relaxed once years ago, and found that the dryer took just under 15 minutes to diffuse and set her curls. Though we used it mainly on the medium setting, as that level of airflow was powerful enough, we liked having the option of additional power. No matter how strong your arms are, the Instyler Blu Turbo Ionic Hair Dryer feels lightweight in your hands and makes blow drying the top of your head a painless process.The concentrator includes a dial to toggle between wide and narrow airflow, and users can rotate the attachment itself to ensure that the airflow is always in line with a brush while blowing out hair. We loved the way our hair felt after each blowout; it was soft to the touch versus the "crunch" that sometimes happens to curly hair after a blowout. Wrap your hair around the brush, then, point the nozzle directly at the brush without touching the bristles. The hair dryer doesn’t come with attachments for different hair textures, and it’s heavier than we’d like it to be. Despite having two settings (hot and cool), we wanted more heat settings, especially a medium option, for a more customizable drying experience.
