Finding the right hair dryer is trickier than it seems. While devices some can dry your hair quickly, they'll also leave a frizzy mess in its wake. Others may help you get a smooth blowout, but can take ages to actually work. And then there are some that promise to dry your hair quickly and give you sleek locks, but cost an arm and a leg. So, looking for a new hair dryer requires a little investigative work.

Well, look no further because Amazon is running a one-day sale on the mega-popular Shrate ionic hair dryer. Fans swear this dryer goes to work quickly and gives you gorgeous, frizz-free locks in the process. Even better? It's just $36 today, down from $50.

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)

There's so much to love about this hair dyer. For starters, it features an engine speed of 20,000 rpm with 18 high-quality fan blades that produce a fast and stable airflow. Meaning, it goes to work fast.

Negative ion technology helps prevent your hair from losing moisture (and racking up damage) due to overheating, leaving you with shiny, frizz-free locks.

Flip between three different wind speeds, hot and cold features and three nozzle attachments, including tools for smoothing, styling and diffusing.

The whole thing is lightweight — less than a pound! — and travels easily.

Thousands of Amazon shoppers swear by the Shrate dryer. "It came up to full heat in less than 15 seconds and blew my hair dry in half the time of my usual hair dryer," a five-star fan said. "Omg I love this blow dryer!!" a hair stylist said. "My blow dryer recently broke. I’ve been going back and forth on buying a Dyson. I figured I’d give this a try and I’m so glad I did! A fraction of the price and it works SO WELL!"

One fan even calls the Shrate a "low-cost alternative to a Dyson," which typically sells for a cool $430.

A fellow happy customer calls the drying power "excellent" on the Shrate. "My hair is thick and I have a lot of it...this dryer was able to get my hair dry and silky in half the time that it would take my old one," they said. "It's also lightweight, makes a huge difference. I have carpal tunnel on my hands and it was always hard to hold the dryer for long periods of time. This dryer is easy to hold, I was able to store it in the same place I had my old one and now I have room for other things."

Again, this sale is only for today — take advantage of it while you still can!
