Best budget
1. Revlon Salon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumiser RVDR5222
Mid to long · Sectioning comb · Ionic, ceramic
By far the best seller in this list: a hot-air oval brush that dries and adds volume in one go, for mid to long hair. Revlon also lists a smaller-headed version for short hair. It is a heated brush, not an air styler, so it will not curl the way an Airwrap does.
-
Best rotating brush
2. BaByliss Big Hair 2885U
Yes · 50mm ceramic · 2 speeds, both directions · 2 heat plus cool
A 50mm ceramic barrel that rotates in both directions, with two heat settings plus cool and two speeds. The rotation does the brushing for you, which helps if you struggle with a round brush. It is for volume and smooth blow-dries rather than curls.
-
Best hair dryer
3. Dyson Supersonic Origin
Dyson Digital Motor V9 · 4 heat, 3 speed · Styling concentrator
The original Supersonic, with Dyson's V9 motor and a sensor that reads the air temperature 40 times a second to stop it running too hot, the listing says. Four heat settings and a styling concentrator. It is a dryer only; for curls you need an Airwrap or FlexStyle.
-
Best air styler
4. Dyson Airwrap i.d. Straight+Wavy
Under 150C · Straight to wavy · 6
Dyson's app-linked Airwrap, which stores your wrap, style and cool-shot times and repeats them at the press of a button. It keeps heat under 150°C and comes with six attachments for straight to wavy hair. The most expensive tool here by a distance.
-
Best value dryer
5. Shark SpeedStyle Pro HD731UK
Scalp Shield mode · Straight and wavy · Turbo concentrator, QuickSmooth brush, FrizzFighter
A high-speed dryer with a Scalp Shield mode that lowers the heat at the roots, and three attachments in this version. Heat and airflow adjust themselves to the attachment you fit. The cheaper HD701 version comes with only the concentrator.
-
Best Airwrap alternative
6. Shark FlexStyle 5-in-1 HD456TLUK
Measured 1,000 times a second · 32mm and 24mm auto-wrap · Curlers, oval brush, concentrator, FrizzFighter
Twists from a dryer into a styler, with 32mm and 24mm auto-wrap curlers, an oval brush, a concentrator and a frizz-fighting finishing tool. It does the same job as the Airwrap for much less. A stone-coloured version swaps the finishing tool for a paddle brush and diffuser, so choose by the attachments you want.
-
Best ghd dryer
7. ghd Helios
Yes · 2200W · Contoured concentrator
ghd's 2,200W dryer with an ionic system and a narrow nozzle for directed airflow. It has fewer features than the Dyson and Shark dryers, with no automatic heat adjustment. The diffuser is sold separately.
-
Best straightener
8. ghd Platinum+ Hair Straightener
Straightener · Wishbone · Predictive, ghd says
The only straightener in this list, with heat control that ghd says adapts to your hair and a wishbone hinge for control. Parts of the listing are garbled, and its 'stronger hair' figure is ghd's own claim. A gift-set version adds a heat-protection spray.
Nothing matches those filters. Try fewer filters, or search for a brand like "MSI" or "Crucial".
How we rank
Every price shown is Amazon UK's, checked within the last 24 hours, with the time of the check. A big percentage off is not the same as a good price, so we rank on value for the job. Black Friday is Friday 27 November 2026.
Prices are Amazon UK and eBay UK at the time we last checked; they move daily, so confirm on the retailer's page. We earn a small commission if you buy through our links, at no cost to you. It never changes the order. More about how we work.
