Hair dryers and styling tools for people who dry and style their hair at home or while travelling: hair dryers, straighteners, curling tongs and hot-air brushes. Our range includes over 90 products from REVAMP, JATA, BEPER, ZELMER and other brands, from simple everyday dryers to styling devices with more features.
How to choose a hair dryer or styling tool
Power. Home hair dryers usually range from about 1600 to 2200 W. Higher power dries long, thick hair faster, while a lower-powered, lighter model is easier to pack for trips and fine for short hair.
Heat and speed settings. Look for at least two or three heat and airflow settings plus a cool shot button to set the style. Fine or coloured hair is safer with gentler heat. Ionisation and a ceramic coating help reduce static and frizz, although the difference is most noticeable on dry, coarse hair.
Attachments. A narrow concentrator nozzle directs air to one spot and suits smooth, straight styles. A diffuser spreads the airflow more gently, which helps curly and wavy hair keep its shape.
Plate and barrel size. Narrower straightener plates are easier to use on short hair and fringes, while wider plates smooth long, thick hair in fewer passes. The barrel diameter of curling tongs decides the curl: a thinner barrel gives tighter curls, a thicker one soft waves. Adjustable temperature lets you match the heat to your hair type.
Weight, cable and storage. A heavy dryer becomes tiring to hold over longer drying sessions. A long swivel cable, a hanging loop and a folding handle make daily use easier and packing simpler.

Frequently asked questions
What wattage should a hair dryer have?
For everyday use at home, a dryer of around 1800 to 2000 W is enough, and people with long or thick hair may prefer something stronger. Travel models are often lower in power but lighter. Several heat and speed settings matter as much as the wattage itself.
Is a hair dryer with ionisation worth it?
Ionisation is worth considering if your hair tends to get static or frizzy. It reduces static and helps hair look smoother. The effect is modest, so it matters more than raw power only for dry or coarse hair.
Can I use a straightener on damp hair?
No, not unless the manufacturer states that the straightener is designed for it. Hot plates on damp hair can damage it. It is best to dry your hair first and then use the lowest temperature that gives the result you want.
What is the difference between a hot-air brush and a hair dryer?
A hot-air brush dries and styles hair at the same time, while a standard hair dryer only dries it. A brush makes it easier to add volume or smooth the ends, but a dryer gets through a large amount of hair faster. Many people use both together.
