Number five on our list is one of the newest hair dryers creating a buzz — the Slopehill IQ Perfecto. This hair dryer has a pretty impressive resume as well. It has a lightweight design, intelligent heat control, memory function, and a powerful 110,000 RPM motor.

Still, it only snagged the number five spot because there were quite a few negative reviews regarding the lifespan of this hair dryer.

Also, the attachments aren’t magnetic like the other products we talked about above. Instead, the Slopehill attachments snap-on, and there were even some complaints of their attachments melting.

However, this modern-esque hair dryer still has an impressive rating on Amazon, so people still love it!

PROS

• Intelligent heat control

• Memory function

• Lightweight design

CONS

• Non-magnetic attachments

• Some complaints of poor lifespan

• Quality doesn’t match the price 

Our #5 Pick

The DryQ and the Gamma Pro have a similar look and feel — but not where it matters most! The Gamma Pro doesn’t have the same luxury feeling the DryQ provides, and call us crazy, but you want high-end luxury finishes when you pay for a luxury hair dryer!

When we put the Gamma Pro to the test, it didn’t dry as fast as the DryQ, and faster drying time is pretty high on the list for most people out there in the market for a new, high-end hair dryer.

Overall, the Gamma Pro is better than a traditional hair dryer, but it still doesn’t measure up to the DryQ.

PROS

• Sleek, aerodynamic, modern design

• Helps protect your hair from heat damage

• Comes with three magnetic styling attachments

CONS

• Expensive compared to similar hair dryers

• Only has a six-month warranty

• Many complaints that the hair dryer stops working after a year or two

Our #2 Pick

• Quiet, with only 79 sound decibels

• Risk-free purchasing; 1-year-warranty,
60-day money-back guarantee

• Cool shot button that helps set your style

• Three Magnetic attachments for versatile styling options

If you’re looking for a frizz-reducing hair dryer and want the best pick out there, then we recommend SRI DryQ.

The SRI DryQ packs a lot of power behind its features, but the price point is just enough to win us over since it’s a bit more affordable than the Dyson.

The SRI DryQ supports all the frizz-busting features we mentioned above — red light therapy, ionic technology, a ceramic and tourmaline barrel, and much more.

It automatically regulates the air temperature so you don’t expose your hair to excess heat — this helps make heat damage a thing of the past!

This smart hair dryer also has a powerful motor that helps dry your hair faster than the average dryer with four heat settings and a cool shot button to set your finished style.

Overall, the DryQ has everything you need to help beat frizz for good. It’s a winner in our book because it supports hair health at the same time!

Our number #1 Top Pick:

CONS

• Only available online

• Due to high demand, product may be on backorder

After reviewing multiple hair dryers, we found the top FOUR FEATURES needed to help keep your hair frizz-free, full of body, shine, and luster.

1. Red Light Therapy   –  Hair dryers with red light therapy help stimulate follicles for hair growth while drying your hair much faster.  

Red light therapy helps improve scalp health for thicker, healthier hair. It heats  hair strands from the inside out, keeping hair cuticles smooth in the process.

2. Ionic Technology  –  Hair dryers with ionic technology provide a blast of negative ions that support a smooth, frizz-free finish.

This helps cut down drying time and locks in your hair’s natural moisture.

3. Ceramic and/or Tourmaline Air Outlet – Most conventional hair dryers use convection heat — the same type of nichrome wire your toaster uses — yikes! 

On the other hand, hair dryers with a ceramic and tourmaline barrel help provide gentle heat that’s evenly distributed for a gorgeous, shiny finish.

4. Smart Technology – Most of the latest hair dryers on the market have intelligent heat control that help protect your hair from damage.

We wanted to make things easier for you, so we reviewed the top three hair dryers on the market.

Discover the best hair dryers on the market that help you achieve frizz-free, salon-quality blowouts while promoting protection from heat damage and breakage.

Finding A Blow Dryer that supports quick, frizz-free styling seems impossible at times. But don't worry — head editor, Paaez Coleman, and the SRI Team did the research so you don't have to!

When you’re shopping for a new hair dryer, you’re looking for a product that solves a “hair problem” you encounter from time to time.
 
That said, if frizz is one of your top concerns, you’re not alone…

Frizz is one of the most common issues people run into when they style their hair — especially when a hair dryer is involved.
 
How annoying it is when you spend hours in the mirror blow-drying your hair, but all you see is frizz and static?!

Frizz happens for several reasons, and it all comes down to the health of your hair cuticles.
 
Your hair cuticle normally lays flat and smooth, but certain hair conditions like excess heat, friction, and color rough the cuticle up, leaving it open and prone to more damage.

Honestly, some hair dryers do more damage than good. Back in the day, they might have had a different design, but the features were basically the same.

Thankfully, hair dryers have come a long way…

They’ve changed quite drastically, but don’t worry, we’ll help you find the best hair dryer to make frizz a thing of the past.

for Frizz-Free Styling?

Which Hair Dryer Works Best

What To Look For In a Hair Dryer That Supports Frizz-Free Styling

It has everything you need to help reduce frizz and maintain beautiful hair every day — at a better price than the others too!

Let’s see how these top-rated hair dryers measured up when we put them all to the test.

Our TOP PICK is the full package!

The T3 Cura hair dryer has gained a lot of attention for its eye-striking design, but it still lacks some of the important technical features that the DryQ and Gamma Pro both have.

It does have an ion generator, but it’s still a little heavier and clunkier than our two predecessors — which you’ll start to feel once you’re 15 minutes into your blowout!

Overall, we liked the T3 Cura but noticed a lackluster feeling after using it. We still had some noticeable frizz and didn’t get the body and shine we got with the SRI DryQ.

We think a BIG part of this comes down to the addition of red light technology, which the T3
Cura 2000 doesn’t have.

PROS

• Beautiful design and gorgeous color availability

• Ionic technology

• 9ft cord with cord wrap for easy handling and storage

CONS

• Dryer doesn’t have red light therapy

• Heavy compared to other high-end dryers on the market

• No “smart” features

Our #3 Pick

Everyone knows Dyson, but what makes this hair dryer so desirable?

Is it a status symbol or does it give a certain type of frizz-free style other hair dryers can’t achieve?

We had high hopes for the Dyson, but if we’re being completely honest, we were a little disappointed it didn’t have red light technology — especially with the steep price tag!

Aside from this, it wasn’t very comfortable to use. It felt clunky and awkward, but the DryQ was much lighter than the Dyson Supersonic.

We were also very impressed with the SRI DryQ’s physical size and ergonomic design. Overall, when it comes to frizz, the Dyson didn’t live up to our expectations.

PROS

• Sleek, aerodynamic, modern design

• Protects your hair from heat damage

• Comes with five magnetic styling attachments

CONS

• Expensive compared to similar hair dryers (with less features)

• At 1.8 pounds, it’s still a little heavier than some of the latest smart dryers released

• No hair-strengthening, red light technology

• Many complain the Dyson stops working after a short time

• Not very effective for minimizing frizz

• Extremely high restock price if returned
