How to choose the right hair dryer

All of our hair dryers are perfect for any hair type and guarantee salon-quality results, but some models might be better suited to your hair care goals and needs than others. Let's take a look at how you can choose the best hair dryer to keep you looking and feeling your best every day.

Choosing a hair dryer for different hair lengths

We pride ourselves on the fact that all ghd hair dryers are suitable for all hair lengths, so you can choose any safe in the knowledge that you're in good hands.

What is the best hair dryer for short hair?

Drying short hair should take as little time as possible, but this'll only be true if you choose the best hair dryer for short hair! Our personal favourite is the ghd air®, which uses advanced ionic technology to control frizz and deliver a smooth look time after time. The powerful 2,100 W motor also produces high-pressure airflow to dry hair 2x faster, making it perfect for short styles.

What is the best hair dryer for medium hair?

With medium hair, you pretty much have your pick of the bunch when it comes to blow dryers! The best hair dryer for medium hair in our eyes is the ghd duet blowdry, which offers no frizz², 50% more shine³ and 3x more volume⁴ to keep your hair looking amazing throughout the entire day. Medium hair can sometimes fall flat, so the elliptical-shaped heated barrel plate that helps to create shape is perfect for this hair length.

What is the best hair dryer for long hair?

Long hair can be a pain to blow dry, but don't settle for air drying if it's not giving you the results you crave. Our favourite hair dryer for long hair is the helios®, with its Aeroprecis® technology for precise styling control and powerful airflow, which can drastically speed up styling¹ (8/10 users agree). This lets you style your hair and save valuable minutes in your morning routine.

Choosing a hair dryer for different hair textures

What is the best hair straightener for thick, frizzy hair?

Just like longer hair, we recommend the helios® as the best hair dryer for thick hair. Not only does it use precision technology to cut down styling time by up to 3x, it also comes with an ergonomic balance for lighter styling. This means it's less likely to make your arms ache, so your morning routine feels less like a chore!

What is the best hair dryer for fine hair?

Fine hair usually dries super quickly, so there's no need to spend a fortune on a blow dryer if you don't want to. Instead, we highly recommend the ghd air® as the best hair dryer for fine hair, as it comes with everything you need - advanced ionic technology, an ergonomic design, and high-pressure airflow - without the bells and whistles your hair simply doesn't need.

What is the best hair straightener for damaged hair?

When dealing with already damaged hair, you need to be careful that you're not putting too much excess heat on top of it. For this reason, our favourite hair dryer for damaged hair has to be the ghd duet blowdry! It dries and styles all in one, so you don't have to use a hot air styler after blow drying, saving you 50% heat damage already. The duet blowdry also only uses an optimal styling temperature of 120 degrees, preventing any further heat damage while giving your hair the TLC it deserves.

Choosing a hair straightener for different hairstyles

What is the best hair dryer for curly hair?

While all of our hair dryers can be used on curly hair, we personally think the best hair dryer for curly hair is the duet style to make sure you're saving your curls from as much damage as possible! Depending on your curl pattern, you might notice that some blow dryers leave you with more frizz and breakage - but not the duet style. The heat-air Xchange technology allows optimum and consistent heat transfer with no heat damage, and the lower styling temperature makes sure no frizz is left behind.

What is the best hair dryer for wavy hair?

Wavy hair is suitable for the majority of our hair dryers, but one stands out as the best hair dryer for wavy hair - and that's the ghd helios®. Wavy hair tends to suffer most from frizz when blow-dried incorrectly, and the helios can sort that out instantly thanks to the smoother, shinier results that many users agree leave them with fewer flyaways. The contoured nozzle is also perfect for directing the heat exactly where you need it to prevent any excess heat damage from being done to your already-dried hair.

What is the best hair dryer for volume?

If you're looking for a hair dryer for volume, we'd highly recommend the duet blowdry. Not only does it dry hair with its heated barrel plate which leaves your hair smoother and silkier than ever, but it also utilises a volumising brush that can deliver 3x more volume! All of that with no heat damage or frizz? Sign us up for a free salon-quality blow-dry every morning!

What is the best hair dryer for afro hair?

Our favourite hair dryer for afro hair is the ghd helios® paired with our hair diffuser to dry your hair while also locking in your curls. This helps to style and maintain your natural curl pattern without using excessive heat which can dry them out and lead to breakage, frizz, and hair that simply feels damaged.

Key features of our hair dryers

Hopefully, we've managed to convince you that our hair dryers are some of the best on the market, no matter what hair type you have. But if you still need some convincing, here's a few key features that make us stand out from the rest of the market:

Advanced heat technology

ghd's hair dryers utilise advanced ionic technology to reduce frizz and flyaways³, which deliver smooth and shiny results³ every single time. This technology prevents heat from being overused on certain passes to avoid damage. Pair this with the variable temperature and speed settings and you'll have full control over your style. There's even a cool shot button on most of our dryers to help you lock your look into place.

Hair dryers that suit all hair types & styles

No matter what hair type you have, ghd has a blow dryer that can help you achieve your dream style. All of our driers are suitable for any length, style, or texture, and we also offer several accessories to use with your drier to tailor the results to your hair. We'd recommend checking out our hair care for a more tailored style, as our heat protectants and serums are designed to treat hair types differently, so it gets the main character treatment it deserves.
