We Southerners are known for our gorgeous hair, which generally speaking, is also infused with a good dose of volume. Other than great products—volumizing shampoos and conditioners to dry texturizing sprays and everything in between—there is no better way to optimize lift than to start with a blowout. And there is no such thing as a full beautiful blowout without a great hair dryer. With prices, styles, and promised results running the gamut, it’s hard to know how to choose the best one for you. After comparing and contrasting both pricey versions and budget-friendly options, we came to a refreshing conclusion: You can find the best hair dryer for under $50. Whether you’re looking to enhance natural curls, get smooth sleek locks, or keep hair looking great while on the road, one of these hair dryers is bound to fit the bill. Take a look and get ready to be blown away.
