The Salon Light weighs marginally less, at 540g versus 650g, and elsewhere in the Salon Light’s favour is that its 3m cable is 80cm longer than that of the Orchid. We assume this is where the Salon Light gets its name from; because it’s lighter than other BaByliss models because it’s certainly not the lightest hair dryer around. When it comes to its design, the dryer has a nice rose gold body and comes with a long cord. The item is not bulky and feels nice in the hand. The included attachments are easy to put in place and remove after use.

As a general rule of a thumb, the higher the wattage, the hotter and more powerful your hair dryer will be.

What's more, unlike most travel hairdryers usually featured with only one heat setting, this model includes 3 power levels and 3 fan settings and has a small push-in button for a blast of cool air, which makes it a good alternative to hefty home-use dryers. A bonus is, there's also a concentrator included, so you can not only blow dry your hair but also style it if you wish. A cool air / cold shot button or cool setting are great for helping you set your hairstyle in place once you've finished drying. Great if you're tired of having to air dry your 'do.

A 3/5 would mean the product is passable, making it a good choice if you're on a budget, though it will likely leave some room for improvement. For instance, this could be a hair dryer that has a great price but has a slightly more modest build quality and offers a bit less in terms of heat and speed variability.

With an incredible 2500 watts of power, it dries hair in no time, while the included concentrator nozzle makes it possible to style your hair straight without relying on ultra-heated flat irons. Yet, the best bit about this styler is that it not only dries your hair swiftly but also wraps it with ions, lots of ions. Among the first things to consider are the type and power specs of a hair dryer. Here are the main types available: professional models, mainly used by hair stylists, conventional home hair dryer models that everybody uses at home, and compact models which are designed for those people who often travel and need to blow dry their hair on the go. Generally, power specs depend on the type of a hairdryer. Travel-size hair dryers are usually the least powerful and deliver under 1200 watts. Conventional models are more powerful and deliver the power in the range of 1200 to 1800 watts. Professional models, as you can guess, are the most powerful. They have the power of 1900-2400 watts, often are quite expensive, and are mainly designed for professional use. Obviously, the more powerful the dryer is the less time hair drying will take. The flip side of the coin is that drying the hair at extremely high settings all the time may result in overdrying of the hair, which makes professional models not suitable for everyday use. Having used both, though, there’s very little to separate them. Despite their differences on paper, drying time is similar and they both left our hair equally soft and shiny. It’s likely your choice will come down to which you like the look of best.

What Features to Compare Unlike many other hair dryers that just blow ions with hot hair, this model has an innovative design and is fitted with a separate, external ion outlet. This ensures that there will always be a steady stream of ions delivered to your hair. As a result, the ions generously coat the surface of your hair with moisture, nourishing it and delivering a silky smooth finish. The Panasonic EH-NA65 is a professional-grade blower that has many novelty features to help you achieve perfect hairstyles. Ceramic technology dries the hair using infrared heat whereas tourmaline-ceramic uses a mixture of infrared heat and negative ions, in addition to the standard ionic technology, which theoretically offers greater protection.
