这个药房吹风机比高端戴森更好地工作

最近，我试图将野头驯服testing 9 of the market's top-rated hair dryers。中高端products and expensive brands, I was shocked to find that a simpleRevlondryer performed better overall than even the $399Dyson。

Shook.

为什么？一个伟大的干衣机并不是由它得到的热或风电流有多强的决定：这是多么有效，可以轻松地干燥头发。That is something that's measured subjectively—things like weight distribution, control placement and ease of use, and adjustable heat and speed settings.

In our search for a hair dryer that gives a quick, sleek style that didn’t fatigue our arms or injure our eardrums,我们测试了9烘干机。Here’s what we found makes a great hair dryer.

热并不总是更好

The hottest dryer we tested resulted in a noticeably frizzy, fried-looking style. The Revlon has hot, warm, and cool settings. It's smart to寻找具有可调节热设置的干衣机to keep your hair from sizzling. Pro tip: Always choose a dryer that has a cool setting to help lock in your style and prevent frizzing.

响亮无关紧要

每个吹风机声称比竞争更安静，但是在我们的测试中，每个干燥机徘徊在相同的体积附近（7.7至8.0 dba之间）。没有人安静地进行对话。话虽如此，the loudness of a dryer shouldn't much influence your purchase。It's a hair dryer. It's going to be loud.

More powerful ≠ better hair dryer

The strength of the wind current doesn't necessarily dictate the best or fastest dry—sometimes,电流太强可能会适得其反，缠绕着缠绕的头发，并产生纠结的卷曲风格。Instead, we found that a slower, controlled air stream provides a better result. Our favorite Revlon had the weakest air stream of the dryers we tested, but it dried my hair the fastest.

Pay attention to weight和重量分布

Though most hair dryers claim to be lighter-weight than the competition, the 9 we tested all weighed between 0.8 and 1.2 pounds. That means that the comfort of using a dryer has some to do with its weight, and some to do with its weight distribution.

While the inexpensive Revlon is top-heavy and awkwardly long, it weighs just 0.8 pounds. Even with the lackluster design, it isn't strenuous to use even after 20+ minutes.寻找一种感觉轻巧和/或平衡的干衣机—the heaviest piece should be far back on the head of the dryer, above (or even inside) the handle.

How you can find the right dryer (lab testing not required)

Yes, we clearly love the affordableRevlon 1875W Infrareddryer for its fast drying time and easy handling, but regardless of the one you choose, look for:

• A dryer that is comfortable in your hand and doesn't fatigue your arm
• Adjustable temperature settings, including a cool shot to seal in your style
• At least two speed settings for varying styles
• Controls that are out of the way—this prevents you from accidentally changing settings mid-style
• Attachments that make sense for your style (concentrator nozzle for smooth styles, diffuser for curly/wavy)
• 从您的插座到镜子的绳索长度

And remember—don’t get distracted by bold manufacturer claims (looking at you, "nanoionic conditioning beads" and "triple ceramic coated grill"). Most hair dryers on the market operate very similarly, and a great dryer can come at any price point.
