Laifen Swift 4 Review: Good Enough to Skip the Dyson at $200?
Editor's pick
By Laifen
For most people the Swift 4 is the better buy: a fast, light dryer at under half the Dyson's price. You give up Dyson's smoother finish and its scalp sensor. The 1.5-minute drying claim is marketing and the oil nozzle is unproven.
Thick, long or curly hair where speed and a light handle matter

Revlon One-Step Volumizer PLUS Review: Still the Easiest Budget Blowout
By Revlon
The most approachable dryer brush there is. The PLUS adds a useful medium heat, a smaller head that gets closer to the roots and a detachable barrel, for roughly twice what the original once cost on sale. It will not out-style a pro with a round brush on thick hair, and high is hot, but nothing at $70 gets a beginner to a smooth blowout faster.

Shark FlexStyle Review: Near-Airwrap Curls for Much Less Money
By Shark
FlexStyle gets you about 90 percent of an Airwrap for about half the money: auto-wrapping curls, a real blowout and a dryer that doubles as a styler. It is heavier, louder and less refined in the details, and the Dyson held curls slightly longer. At the sale price it is the sensible pick for most people.

Dyson Airwrap i.d. Review: Does the App Make Curling Easier?
By Dyson
The i.d. is the easiest Airwrap to curl with: the app builds a timed wrap, curl and cool-shot sequence for your hair and stores it on the tool. It is still a $599.99 styler whose results depend on hair type and technique. Buy it if you curl often and found the original fiddly. Skip it if you rarely curl.

Dyson Supersonic Nural Review: Is Scalp-Sensing Heat Worth $500?
By Dyson
Excellent dryer, poor value. The distance sensor and auto-pause genuinely protect your scalp, and daily dryers will use them. Everyone else gets nearly the same drying from a $200 high-speed dryer, so most people should skip the premium.

Shark SpeedStyle Pro Review: Is Scalp Shield Worth the Hype?
By Shark
A strong value among high-speed dryers when it is on sale near $140, with a long cord and a 230 degree temperature cap. Scalp Shield is Shark's own claim with no independent proof, and at the $229.99 list price it is a much less convincing deal.

T3 AireBrush Review: Is a $150 Dryer Brush Worth It Over Revlon?
By T3
The AireBrush is the better dryer brush if your hair is long, thick or prone to frizz, because the even heat, ceramic surface and three heat settings make a smoother blowout with less snagging than budget brushes. It is not a bargain: a Revlon-style brush costs well under half, and the dial sits at the base of the handle where you cannot reach it mid-stroke. Buy it if you blow dry weekly, skip it if you do it twice a month.
