For those of us blessed with kinky and coily hair, finding the right blow dryer to add to your toolkit—no matter your texture—can often feel overwhelming. Although some afro-haired people prefer heatless styling, for certain styles the added help of a great blowdryer is key. And when scoping out a new afro hair-friendly blow-dryer, prioritising its versatility and ability to work with that of afro hair in all its iterations is a good place to start. For coiled and curled looks, this means a low and steady heat tool—perfect for providing an even dry—and one lightweight enough to stave off the dreaded wash day dead arm. We’ve all been there, right?
Not all tools are created equal however, with some dryers sporting easily accessible cool buttons (ideal for providing a chilled blast across lace lines in order to help wigs lay just a little flatter), or for the heat averse, diffuser attachments allowing for smooth and accentuated coils with a satisfying spring.
