BEST OVERALL

Dyson supersonic hair dryer The cost: $500. The attachments: Five styling attachments, including a fly-away attachment, diffuser, gentle air attachment, wide-tooth comb and styling concentrator The review: If you’re devoted to the hair dryer (as in you’re drying your locks after every wash), the Dyson Supersonic is pretty much unbeatable. Although it’s the most expensive option out of the bunch, it wins major points for being exceptionally quiet and drying hair in record time. The wide-tooth comb and diffuser eate attachments professional-looking are great for blowouts deffac away and styling concentrator help (even if you’re a novice styler). All the add-ons snap on magnetically, which is lovely if working with multiple attachments intimidates you. The non-tangle cord and sturdy case make storage a dream. Finally, three speed options and four heat settings allow for a truly customized styling experience. Pro tip: The low volume and cooling option are especially handy if you’re drying a freshly bathed pet — trust.
