Prime Day hair dryer sales are live from $28 — 5 top deals I'd recommend from Conair, Revlon, ghd and more
Prime Day isn't just for tech gadgets and smart devices — it's also a goldmine for scoring salon-worthy hair tools at a steal. Right now, Amazon has slashed prices on top-rated hair dryers from brands like Conair, ghd, Revlon, and more, with deals starting as low as $28. As someone who uses their hair dryer almost every single day for styling (and has definitely fried their fair share of cheap ones), I've learned that investing in a good one is worth every penny. Whether you're after a trusty budget pick or a sleek, salon-grade upgrade, there's something here for every hair type and budget. The best deal in the bunch has to be the ghd Helios dryer, currently 48% off — now $170 down from $329. That's a massive $159 saving on one of the top hair tool brands in the market. I've rounded up five of the best Prime Day hair dryer deals live right now, so you can skip the endless scrolling and go straight to the good hair days. This Conair hair dryer is a solid no-fuss pick that gets the job done fast. It's lightweight, easy to use, and helps smooth out frizz thanks to the ceramic and ionic tech. With a few heat settings and a cool shot, it's great for everyday styling. The Revlon Airflow Control is great if you want more control without spending a ton. It lets you switch up the airflow for faster or gentler drying, depending on your hair type. It's simple and ideal for quick everyday use, especially if you don't need anything too fancy. The Infiniti Pro by Conair is a step up from the brand's standard dryers, offering more power and better tech without a huge price tag. It's part of Conair's higher-performance line, designed for faster drying and less frizz. It's great for adding shine and bounce whenever your hair needs it. Panasonic's dryer is like a spa day for your hair. Its unique oscillating nozzle moves side to side, ensuring even heat distribution and reducing hot spots. Combined with nanoe technology, it infuses moisture into each strand, leaving your hair shiny. With three heat settings, two speed options, and multiple attachments (including a diffuser and concentrator) it caters to various hair types and styling preferences. I'm saving the best deal for last, of course. The ghd Helios Hair Dryer is seriously next-level. It's a powerful tool designed to dry your hair fast while adding shine for healthier-looking locks. With advanced aerodynamics and precise heat control, it feels like a salon tool in your hands. Perfect for anyone who wants sleek results fast, and at 48% off, it's a steal worth snapping up during Prime Day.

ghd Helios Hair Dryer which 'dries hair in minutes' available at a discount
ghd Helios Hair Dryer which 'dries hair in minutes' available at a discount Here's everything you need to know about the salon-grade styling tool, which dries hair in minutes without causing heat damage ghd's Helios Hair Dryer (Image: Nisha Mal ) Any beauty lovers out there will definitely have heard of the ghd Helios Hair Dryer which everyone's been talking about. But is it worth buying for yourself? Last Christmas Father Christmas (aka my fiancé) bought me a ghd Helios Hair Dryer, and the salon-grade styling tool has a special place in my heart. Currently, potential buyers can snap up the device on sale, as part of ghd's summer bonanza. The Helios Hair Dryer is on offer for £139, knocked down from £179. It's not very often that shoppers can find sales on the brand's best-sellers, so this one is worth shouting about - at least in my book. Thanks to its powerful airflow, the hair dryer blasts my long hair in minutes without causing heat damage. I have a limited-edition Christmassy green colour, which isn't available anymore, but the sale includes lots of hues such as black, white, plum, blue ink, and icy blue. Ghd describes this hair styling tool as a 'game-changing innovation'. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here For me, it really has been game-changing in reducing frizz, plus it doesn't dry out my ends even though I have it on the highest heat setting. Other premium options include the iconic Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer, which is up for grabs at Currys for £279.99, usually £329.99. It has three speed settings and an anti-flyaway tool. Nisha Mal, a writer for the Mirror, has shared her thoughts on the product (Image: Nisha Mal ) For budget-friendly good performers, look to Boots, where the Mark Hill Style Addict Perfect Blow Dry Kit is on sale for £34.99. It comes packed with a host of accessories, like a blow-dry brush, clips and rollers. Back to my Helios Hair Dryer, it makes hairwash days slightly more enjoyable, and so much quicker. It comes with two settings that control the strength of the airflow. The buttons aren't labelled or numbered, but option one provides a medium gust, and option two delivers full force - being impatient, I usually opt for the latter. There are also two heat options - again, not labelled or numbered - but one is hot and the other is really hot. I can fully dry my hair in approximately 10 minutes but for me, a major downside is that it is a heavy tool, especially for those who like doing a bouncy blowdry. Lifting my arms above my head with this device is like a mini workout and it took me months to get used to the weight of it. Speaking of blow drys, this is where the nozzle attachment comes into its own. The funnel-like attachment helps concentrate the airflow. I section off my hair and use an Olivia Garden blow-dry thermal brush, which helps to define the ends. ghd asserts that the hairdryer features a 'bespoke acoustic system to ensure low sound levels'. However, I don't think this technology makes much of a difference, as the hairdryer is rather loud. The hairdryer sports a sleek design, with chrome accents at the base of the handle and at the back. It comes with its own pouch, making it handy for storage and travel. Article continues below Another disadvantage is the lack of a diffuser attachment included. This must be purchased separately - not ideal given the price of the tool. You can buy one here for £29.99.

Dyson who? This is the blow dryer Reese Witherspoon's hairstylist uses
Reese Witherspoon is a bonafide red carpet queen. When she steps out for an award show or premiere, you know that, with her stunning makeup looks and penchant for show-stopping gowns, all eyes are going to be on her. And while we don't have access to the designer duds the 48-year Oscar winner dons for those special occasions, we can snag her go-to stylist's hair dryer of choice and make some of that Hollywood magic in our own bathrooms. For the 2024 Emmys, celeb hairstylist Lona Maria Vigi used GHD's Helios Hair Dryer to create Witherspoon's classic updo. Vigi, whose other clients include stars like Cameron Diaz, Olivia Wilde and Sheryl Crow, included a snapshot of the A-list styling tool in an Instagram she posted highlighting Witherspoon's Emmy glam. The actress commented on the post and wrote "Hair genius right there!" If you're new to the brand, GHD literally stands for "good hair day" and that is exactly what you'll get with the Helios Hair Dryer. It's definitely an investment at $279, but well worth it. Not only does it deliver 30% more shine, thanks to its iconic technology that combats frizz and flyaways, but it also boasts an airflow of 75mph so you can get your locks drier, quicker. Additionally, the Helios features two speed and two heat settings, along with a cool shot so you can lock in your desired style. More than 500 Amazon shoppers have given the GHD Helios a perfect five-star rating, with rave reviews to back them up. One of them shared: "I was undecided whether to get this dryer or splurge on the Dyson. I went ahead with this dryer, as I have been using GHD for straightening for over a decade... While it isn't feather-light, it isn't overly heavy. I have very fine hair, and it has helped create more volume. I am amazed at how much shine it brings to my hair each time I use it! I have medium-length hair, and when it needs to dry quickly, this does the trick, or it takes about 15 minutes for a complete blowout. This has, by far, exceeded my expectations." Another called it a "game changer," adding, "This is my first Amazon review but I just had to come back here to praise this blow dryer. I purchased it a couple of months ago so I have had the opportunity to use it for a while. I have very thick, coarse hair which is so difficult to dry that even the best hair stylist can get overwhelmed dealing with it. This blow dryer not only cuts down on drying time but it gives me the smoothest finish. I barely need to flat-iron afterwards." "Wow! I had not upgraded my hair dryer for more than 10 years and I can't believe what a huge difference it made to my hair!!" gushed a final fan. 'I got frustrated thinking the hair salon fried my hair because it was just a huge frizzball at the ends, but it was my hair dryer doing the damage. I put in the same products as usual and then dried my hair with this new hair dryer and my hair is so smooth and silky now." While shoppers didn't have many negatives to point out, a few did mention that there are very few heat settings. One customer called the hair dryer "strong and effective" but advised, "Do be careful on the highest heat to move while pointing at your scalp…it's hot." Another reviewer simply wrote that their only "con" was "too much heat." The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
