I’ve blown through countless hair dryers over the years — some more expensive than others — in search of a styling tool that can cut the drying process down while still achieving a salon-worthy blowout. My thick, wavy locks finally met their match with the EGO Smart Touchscreen Hair Dryer ($179.98); finally, gorgeous tresses without the sore biceps! Choose from various temperatures, speeds and conditions on the touchscreen to create different looks or customize the setting for your specific hair type. This innovative tool combines the triple action technology of ceramic, tourmaline and HW2 (beauty speak for reducing frizz while increasing shine). Bonus: The dryer comes with three nozzles and two styling clips. The extra-long extension cord also definitely comes in handy.
