While traditional hair dryers have a vent at the back, the Dyson has placed it on the back of the handle here. Because the weight is redistributed to the handle, it sits comfortably in the hand and doesn’t cause any tension in your wrist. Upon its release, beauty lovers everywhere were taken aback by its unique design – the motor is hidden inside the handle – making it much easier to use. The legend of the hair drying world took four years to develop and was definitely worth the wait. However, it’s worth noting that the nozzle is black no matter which one you choose, which can look jarring with the lighter shades Buy now £159 ghdĪvailable colours: Fuchsia, nickel, white Like the rest of the styling tools within the range, the ghd helios is as concerned with aesthetic as it is functionality, with five different colour options – mint, white, black, plum and blue. With a 3m long cable, you can also forget any awkward reangling or tangling during the styling process. Ergonomically balanced, it’s comfortable in hand, and unlike ghd’s previous hair dryers, it is lightweight, weighing just 780g. There’s also the standard cool shot feature to set your style.ĭespite being so powerful, it manages to be one of the quietest tools we’ve ever used.
While it’s capable of reaching a maximum temperature of 110C, most hair types should do fine with just the lower setting. With two different heat settings, you can avoid unnecessary heat damage from using higher temperatures than needed. Blow drying with a barrel brush can help you avoid flat hair. However, we did find that you pay the price for such a fast-drying speed, and that’s sacrificing volume. While we can’t quite assess that, there was a noticeable difference, especially on straighter hair. Upon launching the helios, ghd promised that it would increase shine by 30 per cent (compared to leaving your hair to air-dry). Even a rough dry, without the nozzle, gave high quality results. While ionic hair dryers always leave your hair sleeker than non-ionic tools, we were extra impressed by the results of this one following a proper blow dry with the attachable nozzle. In layman’s terms, this means your hair is going to dry much faster than it would with most other tools, taking just a few minutes to dry mid-length styles. The motor has a wattage of 2200w – 600w higher than the Dyson – and manages to deliver a powerful yet even airflow. Ionic technology has been a staple in the hair tools industry for a while now, but the helios manages to outdo many of its rivals in terms of power. This combines internal aerodynamic design with a uniquely contoured nozzle that promises to reduce frizz. Its successor stands out thanks to its "aeroprecis" technology, specifically designed by a team of physicists, engineers and ghd styling professionals. The ghd air has been a cult favourite ever since its launch in 2012, so it was going to take a lot to top it. Available colours: Mint, white, black, plum, blue
