* '''Ionic Hair Dryers'''
** It has been proven that heat does damage to the hair follicle. In response to this fact, hair dryer manufacturers have created an ConsumerSearch.com, many reviewers preferred ionic hair dryers to ordinary ones.
* '''Settings'''
** Models with varying temperature/speed settings are the most versatile.
** You can use hot, warm or cool air (the least damaging) to dry hair.
** Speed can be changed to better suit the style you are trying to acheive.
** A cool-shot button is great because it reduces hair damage and can improve shine.
* '''Convenience'''
** Choose the lightest hair dryer available in the style you need. You will appreciate something lightweightafter blow drying your hair for 15 minutes.
** Removable grills make cleaning the hair dryer easier.
** For many styles, a long "nose" on the hair dryer will give you better results and more focused warm air.
** Special attachments, such as a diffuser can be useful, but don't pay extra for accessories you'll never use. Check if you can use an old diffuser from your current hair dryer on a new model if you want to save money.
** A long cord is quintessential to an easy blow drying experience.
