A dryer with several heat and speed settings lets you use less heat. Attachments matter: a concentrator nozzle for smoothing, a diffuser for curls and waves.

What to look for

  • Separate heat and speed controls and a cool-shot button.
  • Attachments — diffuser for curly or wavy hair.
  • Weight and cable length if you dry thick hair or travel.
  • UK plug and safety — buy from reputable sellers.
