About this deal

We accidentally dropped it and the chic, mint green hue (one of our favorite elements) chipped a little. The result? Immaculately well-defined curls with an abundance of volume. 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. Ergonomic, lightweight (a mere .77 lb!) and quiet, the Bondi Sonic Dryer is a great choice to smooth flyaways. Our slightly wavy hair, prone to breakage and frizz, was a testament to the tool’s impact: Our dried hair looked impossibly smooth, without a single frizzy flyaway in sight. Armed with powerful heat, the dryer also earned our trust for its even distribution, and our hair didn’t start sizzling the way it might with a lesser-quality dryer.

Options are seemingly endless on the attachment front, but your hair type will drive your decisions there too.Taking home top honors, the GAMA IQ2 Perfetto hair dryer is just about, well, perfetto. With a promise to dry hair 30 percent faster, the IQ2 is designed intelligently, automatically going on standby when placed on its smart pad, outfitted with a micro-perforated filter and temperature sensor, and accompanied by magnetic nozzles. Did we mention it weighs about the same as your smartphone? 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. To put it in perspective, our stylist estimated that a full blowout ordinarily would have taken about 25 minutes. Just about on par with models that are double its price, the InfinitiPRO by Conair DigitalAire Dryer gets the frizz out, taming tortured hair smooth with ease. In fact, it blew out our fine, wavy hair within 30 minutes, commanding an airflow so strong that it sent the curtains swaying in our room. (That force is likely due to the fast-moving digital motor, which revs at 90,000 times per minute!). The high level of heat is also conducive to wrangling frizz. Our experience varied depending on the type of hair. While our wavy hair did receive the results we set out to achieve (a straight blowout without the need for a follow-up tool), our coily hair still needed a second tool to straighten the ends. The wide-tooth comb wasn't particularly useful for drying our kinky hair, not completely drying it and leaving the ends puffy. Yet the dryer’s features aren't just for the pros. Anyone who uses a dryer daily will appreciate the tool's longevity (an A/C motor that lasts 2,000 hours), its efficiency (the dual-filtration system drops energy use by 70 percent), and its impressive multitude of settings (12 heat, speed and ion settings). Equipped with one of the longest nozzle attachments we tested meant that we could direct heat in specific sections. We were particularly pleased that using the nozzle in such a targeted way didn’t result in a scorching sensation. Diffusers are a curly girl's best friend, as long as you know how to use them,” says Vaccaro. So, what’s the best way to use a diffuser? Take it blow by blow.

Although first impressions aren’t everything, the sleek design of this T3 hair dryer nearly won us over, although we were curious whether such a small hair dryer would be powerful enough for a proper blowout. We have thin hair, and not a lot of it, so we need our hair dryer to be strong enough to whip up a serious amount of volume, and this little guy did just that. We noted that despite its compact size, the IQ2 produced a surprisingly loud noise, making it difficult to hear others while the product was in use. For a truly professional-quality tool, though, the cost and the volume are no doubt justifiable. The buttons’ placement feels crowded, making it easy to accidentally adjust your settings mid-blowout.

Although there are only three heat settings — low, medium, and high — it really felt like there was a difference between each level, while still putting out a consistent stream of air. We mostly stayed with the medium setting because the highest option was so hot that it was uncomfortable at times. We dry our hair once or twice a week, and our favorite style to create is a traditional full-bodied, bouncy blowout, which was easy to accomplish with this dryer — and fast.
