Hair styling without going to the salon: TOP 5 best hair dryers

The Bosch PHA 5363 hair dryer, made in black with red inserts, represents the BrilliantCare line of the German manufacturer and is liked by users not only for its design.

The Bosch PHA 5363 comes with two anodized brushes: 20 mm in diameter with natural bristles (suitable for styling short hair) and 38 mm (serves to add volume and shine to medium and long strands).

The model supports three temperature modes: from warm to hot air, the choice among which is made using the ring switch. Additionally, cold air supply is provided. It will make it easier to fix the hairstyle after styling.

Bosch PHA 5363 supports Quattro-Ion technology. This is a function of the ionization function, which provides for the supply of negatively charged particles simultaneously from four holes at the base of the nozzles. According to the manufacturer, this solution increases the antistatic effect, makes the hair more manageable and shiny.

When the ionization mode is turned on, the red light on the body of the hair dryer-brush lights up.

The model has a soft non-slip handle, thanks to which it fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The device is lightweight, so even a long styling procedure will not cause much fatigue.

Power of 700 W will not allow you to dry your hair as quickly as with classic hair dryers. But there is practically no risk of overdrying the strands. For the same reason, the Bosch PHA 5363 usually does not overheat even after prolonged use, although if this happens (for example, if the air intake is closed), the device will turn off automatically.

The disadvantage, according to some users, is the fragile design of the nozzle holder. If not handled carefully, the latch may break. Overall, the Bosch PHA 5363 is a great mid-ranger with a good set of basic features and basic styling tools. If you do not need more, then you can make a choice in his favor.

The Remington brand specializes in hair and skin care products. Its products are in demand both among professional stylists and hairdressers, and among ordinary users.

The AS 800 hair dryer is positioned as an air styler for domestic use. It is made in purple, and all complete nozzles are in black.

The Remington AS 800 is equipped with a slide switch to select the operating mode. There are two power levels (combined with the heating temperature) and a separate cold air supply: for more comfortable drying of hair or fixing styling results.

Together with the device, the user receives three nozzles. So, a thermal brush with a diameter of 21 mm allows you to slightly curl your hair. The 38 mm brush creates volume and shapes larger curls. For drying (before laying or without it) a concentrator is provided. Together with this nozzle, the model is compact and takes up a minimum of space, so it can be an alternative to a travel hair dryer.

Remington AS 800 brushes are ceramic coated with tourmaline. The ceramics are gentle on the hair, while the tourmaline surfaces attract ions (automatic ionisation) to reduce static and friction, improve overall styling and add extra shine.

Those with long hair may not like the overall drying speed even when using a concentrator. This is explained by the low power of the device at 800 watts. The disadvantage of the model can be called the lack of a cover for storing the device and nozzles. Otherwise, the Remington AS 800 looks confident in its price range and deserves your attention.

The hair dryer brush of the reputable German brand Braun with the article AS 530 occupies a leading position in the market for hair care and styling devices. The model represents the Satin Hair 5 series and is available in two colour options: solid black and silver-violet.

Braun AS 530 is a hair dryer with steam, with which you can style even on dry hair. The function will allow you to update your hairstyle without washing your hair. Also, the supply of steam makes the hair more manageable, and the styling is resistant. But even the owners of strong and strong strands should not use a steam humidifier too often.

One of the disadvantages of the device is associated with the presence of a steam humidifier. The water tank increases the overall length of the hair dryer (approximately 30 cm). In general, the model looks quite bulky and has a solid weight.

The Braun AS 530 hair dryer is equipped with three brushes: a pair of regular brushes for styling, smoothing or shaping curls (diameter 18 and 36 mm), and a nozzle for adding volume Volumizer. With each of them, you can use the steam function and the required temperature regime.

The device has 3 temperature settings (according to them, the intensity of the 1000-watt heating element also changes). Also implemented is the function of cold air to fix the styling. You can use it in any mode of operation of the hair dryer. However for this you need to pull and hold the ring switch, which is not very convenient, as the hand gets tired quickly.

Other shortcomings include fragile cloves of the nozzle for volume (it should be used and stored carefully).

If the dimensions of the Braun AS 530 do not bother you, you like voluminous hairstyles and experiments with styling, including on dry hair, then choose this model.

The Rowenta hair care product represents the Premium Care series and is the bestseller in the hair dryer brush segment. The model provides ample styling options and is available in three body colours: copper effect, black and purple.

Rowenta CF 9540 is equipped with a 1000 W heating element, which allows you to quickly dry your hair. With the efficiency of styling without sacrificing beauty , the auto-rotation function is designed to help. With it, you can control the direction of rotation of the nozzles by pressing the "left" and "right" buttons. However when using the function, you should not forget about caution so as not to tangle your hair.

The Rowenta CF 9540 basic set includes two round brushes with a diameter of 40 and 50 mm with natural bristles. They are offered with a pair of protective covers that are designed to extend the life of the attachments. Both brushes have a ceramic coating with argan oil and Cashmere Keratin, which provides gentle treatment to the hair and additional protection against damage and overheating.

There are two ion generators on the body of the device near the attachment point of the nozzles. They create a more powerful stream of negatively charged particles than the predecessor model Rowenta CF9220 to help smooth and manage curls.

Two high-speed (temperature) operating modes Rowenta CF 9540 complements the cold air supply function. In case of overheating, the device automatically turns off.

In functional terms, the model is deservedly among the market leaders. That's just the solid dimensions of the hair dryer-brush and the price may not appeal to potential buyers. If these moments are not critical, then thanks to Rowenta CF 9540, even owners of long hair can count on proper styling, almost as good as a professional one.

Offered in pure white with beige accents, this hair dryer is one of the most popular models on the market. It supports popular features that make the device not only stylish and attractive in appearance.

Philips HP 8664 is equipped with a pair of nozzles. The retractable bristle brush has a diameter of 38 mm and is suitable for creating defined curls and also prevents hair from tangling. The traditional 50 mm nozzle with a mixed type of pile will help to give volume and the desired shape to the hairstyle, including when styling thick, long hair. Although, judging by the reviews, both brushes are still better for owners of short and medium hair.

The tips are ceramic coated with tourmaline. It protects the hair during use, prevents overheating and provides an influx of negatively charged particles (auto ionization function) to prevent tangles and increase shine. In addition to the 50mm brush comes a storage case.

Philips HP 8664 supports automatic nozzle rotation. As a result, the installation process becomes easier and requires less time. An additional convenience is that you can choose both the direction (left / right) and the speed (low and high) of auto-rotation.

The Philips HP 8664 hair dryer has two power modes (maximum value 1000 W) combined with temperature. So, strong airflow involves the supply of hot air, and relatively weak airflow — warm air. Additionally, there is a Care mode, which combines an intense air flow with the optimal heating temperature (less than 55 degrees), which will not lead to overdrying and damage to the hair.

The abundance of functions and the rotation mechanism itself makes the Philips HP 8664 rather bulky and expensive compared to simpler counterparts. But you can pay extra for the speed, convenience and quality of care, especially since the products of the Dutch brand are highly rated in our market.
