Dyson, Drybar, Shark: The Best Hair Tools on Sale Right Now
We’ve written guides to almost every hair-care tool out there, from blow-dryers to blow-dryer brushes. Along the way, writer Dominique Pariso has tested enough of them to know that the right curling iron or straightener can really change your at-home styling game. But a good hair tool is often an investment; as much as Pariso loves her Dyson, it’s hard to ignore the fact that it costs the same as a month’s supply of groceries, which is why it’s wise to splurge when the tools are on sale and why we’ve compiled a list (below) of all the good stuff currently on offer.

That said, if you do want a Dyson with more bells and whistles, this is a great (and also on-sale) option. Operationally, it’s just as powerful as the original, but with added features — like “attachment learning,” meaning the tool remembers the settings you used last and automatically sets them the next time you turn it on, and sensor technology that lowers the temperature and power of the device as it gets closer to your head — that also make it our favorite hair dryer for sensitive scalps.

Pariso is a huge fan of the SpeedStyle Pro Flex for a few reasons: foldability (which she says is a “huge plus for storing and traveling”), multiple attachments that “made styling a breeze,” and enough power to completely dry her (long) hair in just 20 minutes on the lowest heat setting.

Our newly crowned best-overall blow-dryer brush is incredibly light (a mere 16 ounces), has more settings than any of the other brushes on our list (three heat settings and two speed settings, plus a cool-shot button), and features a combo of nylon and tufted bristles that move easily through hair without snagging.

It’s one of the smallest, lightest, and least-expensive models on our Best in Class blow-dryer brushes list, but this L’ange model has lots of other appealing features too: multiple heat settings; ionic technology, which tackles frizz; and a mix of nylon and tufted bristles that help with volume and detangling.

This one-step styler straightens as it dries. And because it doesn’t use hot plates (just hot air), it saves both time and the health of your hair. It’s a Dyson, so you can trust that it’s a pricey option (even on sale) but also a quality tool — and, if you’re someone who likes their hair slick straight on the daily, one that’s likely worth the investment.
