Best hair dryers 2015

Sure, this is a $300 blow-dryer. But it's so. Worth. It. (It didn't win a 2014 Best of Beauty Award for nothing!) Created by the celebrity stylist behind Gisele's perennially lust-worthy waves, it has some pretty impressive specs: 1,875 watts of power, a cool-shot button that actually blows cool air, and most important, the ability to toggle between ionic and nonionic heat, depending on the style you're going for (use ionic for sleek styles and nonionic if you're after volume). Plus, though it's not technically a travel dryer, it's compact enough that one editor has been known to toss it in her suitcase anyway—because after using this tool, the ones stuck to hotel bathroom walls might as well be called hair-static electrocution machines.professional-grade 2,300-watt ionic dryer costs a whopping $700. But according to the pros, it's worth it. "I love this. It dries hair in half the time and really changes how the hair feels," says hairstylist Tommy Buckett. It slashes drying time by about 85 percent (!), has a durable motor (so you're making a long-term investment in your hair), uses 70 percent less electricity than most other dryers (eco-friendly), and is incredibly lightweight (1.05 pounds, to be exact).This 2,000-watt ceramic dryer uses far-infrared heat (a uniform type of heat that penetrates strands) to dry hair quickly and evenly, while the comfortable ergonomic handle makes it easy to maneuver. "I like it because it tends to blow hard air, which I prefer over many of the new tourmaline dryers, which blow softer air," says hairstylist Adir Abergel."The Elchim makes hair look fuller and sexier." Considering he's the man behind many of Reese Witherspoon's, Diane Kruger's, and Kristen Stewart's best red-carpet looks, we'll take his word for it.
