Get a salon-like blowout at home, without the high price of a Dyson. (Amazon)
When it comes to the world of hair dryers, the Dyson Supersonic is often considered a hot fave. But let’s face it, that $430 price tag is quite a shock and makes it out of reach for most of us. Luckily, there’s a more budget-friendly option that’s worth checking out. Thousands of shoppers say the Slopehill Ionic Hair Dryer is a comparable alternative for a fraction of the price. It's currently just $28 (down from $50) at Amazon ahead of Labor Day — its lowest price ever.
Um, you saw what we said above about this hair dryer being comparable to the $430 Dyson, right? Normally priced at $50, the dryer is currently just $28 in grey/pink (a cool 43% off), and according to our price trackers, this price is its absolute lowest yet — so you know you're getting a great deal when you buy now.
Designed to mimic a sleek, salon-worthy DIY blowout at home, this clever gadget uses ionic technology to reduce frizz and ramp up shine as it dries, giving your mane a smooth look. It also boasts 1,800 watts of power to help dry your strands quickly — no matter your hair type.
You can switch between three heat settings for a customized blow-dry experience, depending on your hair's needs. Also worth noting: Tons of shoppers rave that this dryer is incredibly quiet, even on its highest settings. It comes with two styling nozzles and a diffuser attachment, so you can achieve a variety of different styles with it. Finally, it weighs just under a pound, which is actually lighter than the Dyson Supersonic, so you don't have to worry about your arm cramping or getting tired while using it.
More than 8,000 Amazon shoppers loved it so much they gave it a five-star rating.
It works so well that even the pros are fans. "This dryer is fabulous. I'm a hairstylist and have purchased many dryers over the years. Dyson, which lasted barely a year. The Chi, which is OK. The T3, which is also OK. This dryer is better than all of them," said one expert reviewer.
Another raved, "Wow, I'm completely amazed," before adding, "Honestly, I had my doubts being a true hair girl, but this blew me away! It is really a lot better than my Dyson and Shark! I’m buying a spare one, it’s really that great!"
Think you have too much hair for an affordable blow-dryer? Think again. "It makes blow-drying my hair so much faster! My hair is pretty thick and almost to my butt, and this has cut the time in half if not more. I love the speed, setting and attachment options," said a third."
As much as they loved the results, a few customers noted that they wished the dryer had a longer cord to make it easier to use. "I do wish the cord was a little bit longer, but that is purely because of where my wall outlet is positioned and having to maneuver around with such long hair. In saying that, it is still a decent length — same as most hairdryers," wrote one.
"In comparison to other dryers I've had, this one has a shorter cord. It is OK for standing in the bathroom in front of the mirror, but not great for using elsewhere. I grabbed it to dry my dog after his bath, but once plugged in, it wouldn't reach the table… Despite the reservations I have, this dryer certainly performs at a high level for an extremely reasonable price," said another.
