On the bright side of all the things the year 2020 has thrown our way, Amazon Prime Day 2020 has given us good reason to treat ourselves — and hey, if you're reading this, you deserve it. It's also an opportunity to equip yourself with some updated hot tools, like a new blow-dryer, to really master the new reality of becoming your own beauty professional. However, there are quite a few types of dryers out there, making it easy to get lost in the hair tools sauce. Luckily, this Prime Day, some of the best blow-dryers in the business are up to 40 percent off.
The two-day event kicked off on October 13 and runs through midnight PT on October 14 — during which you can shop hair-care brands such as Paul Mitchell, Rusk, and BaByliss Pro. The features run the gamut, with details like infrared heat for safe and speedy drying, and there's one built with a miniature version of car engine.
Shopping, although it's a pleasurable pass time, can be overwhelming. So we've narrowed down what we deem to be the best blow-dryer offerings for a smooth add to cart experience. As a bonus, we even included some other Amazon Prime Day hot tool deals that'll really take your styling skills to the next level.
Hair-Dryers Under $100
While price equates to quality with many tech items, that's not necessarily the case with hot tools. Don't be fooled by the price tag, you can get just as solid of a performance from a budget-buy as you might from a more expensive alternative. Case in point, the Revlon 1875W Infrared Heat Hair Dryer, which taps into your hair's natural moisture to remove excess water without drying your hair out. Or the Rusk Engineering W8less Professional, which also has infrared technology, but weighs less than one pound, so your arms won't get tired as you're drying.
When heat-styling the hair, a blow-dryer is the first line of defense and basically sets the tone for if that straight style will stay well, straight. A thorough blowout can prevent frizzing, help your hair withstand the effects of the elements, and cut styling time down tremendously. The Conair 1875-Watt Ionic Ceramic Hair Dryer, which comes with a concentrator attachment and diffuser assists with that for sleeker or curly styling.
Travel-Friendly Hair-Dryers
Even if you don't plan on jet-setting any time soon, you can still make use of a good travel dryer. You may even need one if you're doing a local stay at an Airbnb. And even though it's a common misconception that portable hair-dryers aren't as effective as standard-sized tools, the Prime Day selections are proving otherwise.
