With a 345g lightweight, compact body that promises powerful airflow and efficient drying, there isn’t much else we could ask from the Dreame Hair Glory.

Thanks to its 110,000 rpm motor and 70 m/s speed, Dreame’s Hair Glory uses powerful airflow and pressure to quickly part heavy, wet hair to reach hair roots and wick moisture from the scalp’s surface. You can switch among four temperature settings and two speeds to meet your own drying, haircare needs, and detailed hair shaping.

Plus, the hair dryer is armed with Smart NTC temperature sensing that detects the air temperature at the outlet 100 times per second in real time. It promptly makes adjustments to ensure a constant temperature of 57°C is delivered at a distance of 10 cm from the outlet and an airflow at 70m/s speed. This helps prevent damage caused by high temperatures, which not only dries your hair in two minutes, but also keeps your hair healthy and protected.

However, this hair dryer does much more than just give you smooth tresses fast.

Dreame’s powerful hair dryer comes with an essence nozzle attachment that houses an essence capsule, which contains three types of oil molecules to replenish moisture to every strand.

Dyson Supersonic HD01

Dyson Supersonic HD01

We’ve all heard about this hair dryer, and probably have been at least a little bit curious about it. What can be so special about a hair dryer to justify it costing nearly S$600?

Aside from it being endorsed by Korean superstar Song Hye Kyo, the Dyson Supersonic HD01 truly has a revolutionary design and specifications.

It does not look like a normal hair dryer, and though it uses 1600W for its motor, users have reported excellent air flow and a drastic decrease in hair drying time. You also no longer have to worry about your hair being caught at the back of a conventional hair dryer where air is taken in.

The Dyson design shifts the motor and air intake vent into the handle where the hair is less likely to come into contact, also completely rebalancing the hair dryer to make it a truly refreshing experience. One of the best hairdryers in Singapore? That’s for sure.

The Dyson Supersonic retails at S$599 and is available at Dyson stores.

Amika Power Cloud Repair & Smooth Dryer

Amika Power Cloud Repair & Smooth Dryer

This revolutionary hairdryer actually gives you the option of switching between positive and negative ion technology to create smooth, silky, blowout-worthy styles.

For major oomph and volume, use the positive ion setting, a first-on-the-market technology that opens the hair cuticle to allow nourishing treatments to penetrate the shaft for supremely effective results. Switch to the negative ion setting to smooth the hair cuticle, eliminate frizz and achieve long-lasting styles.

Their super powerful motor has also been proven to last up to three times longer than conventional motors, with it drying hair up to 70% faster than traditional models. Its ceramic- and tourmaline-infused components also utilise far infrared heat to minimise damage for overall healthier styling. Neat!

The Amika Power Cloud Repair & Smooth Dryer retails at S$538 at authorised retailers.
