We love the convenience of air-drying hair, especially when it results in bouncy, frizz-free curls; but, there's only one way to get your curls in fighting shape in record time: with a little help from your trusty blow dryer. There's a certain lineup of the best products for curly hair that will help you maintain your bounciest, shiniest curls, all while blasting your way to dry in no time. While determining the best hair dryer for curly hair is rather subjective we love the Deva Blow Dryer from DevaCurl. We included their universal diffuser, which we think is one of the best diffusers for curly hair, in this roundup so you can easily get the look without investing in an entirely new (read: pricey) tool. Each of these tools will help you determine how to blow dry your curly hair with the best possible results.
