Having a great hair dryer makes all the difference. Quality tools can increase shine, eliminate frizz (if that's the look your after), and get you out the door faster -all while working hard to protect hair from damage.

Don't get stuck using the same old one you've had for years; instead, treat yourself to an upgrade. To filter and find the best, we asked beauty editors (and sourced the reviews from your favorite retailers) for insights on the best purchases. Check out why these dryers ended up on top.
