The 8 Best Hair Dryers on Amazon for Easy At-Home Styling
Turn the volume all the way up! And save during Prime Day.
We may not have a real-life genie to grant us all our heart’s desires, but we do have Amazon Prime Day, the behemoth we turn to when we want to satisfy our impulses. Looking for a new nail drill or UV lamp for at-home manicures? Amazon can turn your bedroom into a makeshift salon. Or maybe you need to reduce the appearance of your keratosis pilaris ahead of a beach trip. We found the best formulas for you. So, of course, when searching for the best hair dryers on the market, there’s no need to look high and low when Amazon has pages of options ready for fast shipping to your home.
Sometimes, the best hair dryers aren’t the most-hyped ones you see on your timeline, though Dyson is a clear standout; it’s the dryers that fly under the radar that are worth the investment, ones that offer multiple styling options with included attachments (Shark, we’re looking at you), a slew of heat and speed settings, and features that streamline your hair drying process altogether.

Not all strands are made equally, which means finding a suitable hair dryer requires more thoughtful consideration outside of aesthetics. We scoured everyone’s favorite retailer to find the top 10 hair dryers worth every coin, for every hair type. Your arms deserve a break—here’s its reprieve.
Shark Beauty SpeedStyle RapidGloss Finisher and High-Velocity Hair Dryer
Pros
- Multiple attachments
Cons
- Heavy
Voluminous blowouts will never go out of style, so you need a durable drying system that’ll last through the years and all of your impulsive hair choices. The SpeedStyle is—yes, you guessed it—a fast-drying tool with four heat and three airflow settings for a fully customizable experience.
Best for: Straight or wavy hair
Attachments: Concentrator, brush, finisher
Amazon rating: 4.4/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer said: “My hair dried twice as fast without crazy hot heat! It’s very quiet too! The tools are a bonus. Nice instruction booklet on how to use this product. Why did I wait so long to purchase!!”
Pros
- Multiple attachments for all hair types
Cons
- Learning curve
If we’re talking best-in-class, Dyson stands out amongst the crowd. The thousands of reviews touting its impressive results—and gorgeous “after” clips we see on TikTok—prove its price tag is worth the investment. At its core, Dyson is every bit a hair dryer that dispenses a jolt of air for fast-drying hair sessions. Other attachments include a diffuser, flyaway, concentrator, gentle air, and a wide-tooth comb to cater to all textures and lengths.
Best for: All hair types
Attachments: Diffuser, flyaway, concentrator, gentle air, wide-tooth comb
Amazon rating: 4.3/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer said: “I had a good hairdryer, at least I thought so…SuperSonic cut dry time in half. It doesn’t get your hair super hot like ordinary hairdryers; therefore, it doesn’t damage your hair as much. It was like going from a Corolla to a Ferrari! I highly recommend it! Best purchase ever!”
REVLON One-Step Hair Dryer And Volumizer Hot Air Brush
Pros
- Volumizing
Cons
- Handle can get hot
TikTok likely made you want to buy this—and for good reason. This brush dryer cuts your drying time in half, drying and straightening hair in one step. The round brush design adds volume and bounce to hair without needing extra tools.
Best for: All hair types
Attachments: None
Amazon rating: 4.6/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer said: “I hated waiting for my hair to dry to style my hair; it took forever. I’m a stylist, and blow drying your own hair is not easy . This makes my life so easy , so simple, my hair becomes so soft and silky. Easy to use and doesn’t overheat. Now I can easily do my hair even with two kids.”
TYMO Hair Dryer with Diffuser
Pros
- Low noise
Cons
- Some users note the comb attachment can pop off
No matter the style you aim to achieve, the Tymo dryer has a powerful jet, four heat, and three speed settings to choose from, and it makes low noise for late-night stylers.
Best for: All hair types
Attachments: Comb, diffuser, concentrator
Amazon rating: 4.4/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer said: “Love my Tymo hairdryer. Dries my hair in less time and no frizz. The magnetic attachments are awesome. No more having to stop to replace it because it detached during drying my hair.”
BaBylissPRO Nano Tianium Limited Edition Professional Ionic Hair Dryer
Pros
- Lightweight
Cons
- May need something more powerful for thicker hair
This dryer rests comfortably in your hands so you can work through the various settings your hair needs to flourish. There are three heat and three speed settings to control frizz, reduce heat damage, and add shine.
Best for: Long hair
Attachments: Concentrator
Amazon rating: 4.6/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer said: “Satisfied with performance of this blow dryer. It’s much quieter than my old dryer. Has 3 heat settings and 2 air delivery options. And has a super long, 9 foot cord. Weight of the dryer is just right.”
Pros
- Adjustable height
Cons
- Highest heat setting could be too hot for some
Take it old school with this bonnet hair dryer, which rests on a leveled surface to give you a hands-free dry. Because of its bonnet style, your hair is treated to even, consistent airflow and two heat settings.
Best for: All hair types
Attachments: None
Amazon rating: 4.4.5 stars
An Amazon reviewer said: “This is great. Dries fast and is comfortable to use. Love it.”
Tasalon Ionic Hooded Hair Dryer
Pros
- Roller wheels allow for seamless room-to-room transport
Cons
- Pole can be faulty after a while
Be the head of your own salon right in the comfort of your home. This towering hooded dryer can roll to whatever room you’d like and extend to various heights.
Best for: All hair types
Attachments: None
Amazon rating: 4.2/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer said: “Being a low maintenance and inept hair stylist, this dryer allows me to replicate my beautician’s finished look. I also love the option of reading while drying my hair :)!”
Pros
- Ventilated cap for seamless airflow
Cons
- Takes a long time to dry long hair
For on-the-go use or when you simply want to rest your arms, slip this hooded dryer onto your traditional version and adjust the straps on your head for a snug fit. It fits most handheld dryers and has ventilation holes for seamless, consistent airflow. Since this doesn’t push heat directly on the hair but rather through a long tunnel to the hooded attachment, it’s a godsend for natural hair looking to limit heat contact.
Best for: Natural or curly hair
Attachments: None
Amazon rating: 4.4/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer said: “Quick and easy to use. I attached it my hand hair dryer and the ease of it. I love it’s not bulky. Something you can carry along in your luggage. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for something that is more durable and puts out great heat.”
