Using light energy helps retain the internal moisture in the hair to make it hair smoother, shinier and keep colour protected for longer.

It doesn’t have heat settings as it dries with a straight 44✬ heat (as opposed to a standard 60✬) and - uniquely - with light energy which shines green on your hair. Our verdict: “Don't ditch the manual, you do have to invest some time reading how it works as it’s like no other hairdryer, but it is worth it for the way it protects fragile hair and uses less energy. Weight: 534g Power: 680W (2.5 times less power than a traditional hairdryer) Heat settings: only one that doesn’t get hotter than 44✬ Speed settings: n/a Cable length: 2.85m Attachments: 3 a diffuser, a styling nozzle and a gentle air attachment. This way of drying is also meant to protect the integrity of the hair better thanks to less heat and uses 60 percent less energy. USP: It uses infrared light energy, instead of high heat, to mimic the natural evaporation of the sunshine and wind. I’ve used the Dyson and - perhaps controversially - I prefer this for its lightness and look.” VW While this costs just under £200, I think you are getting a lot of amazing quality technology for your money. It also looks so chic, the two current colours are inspired by Farrow & Ball paints (there are three more to come next year) and the copper buttons are a really nice finishing touch.

It makes getting lift at the root and smoothness in the length so much easier. Our verdict: We have previously reviewed the Michael Douglas Mdlondon Blow Hairdryer when it launched but Victoria GTG’s Editorial Director also added: “I really like how targeted the air-flow is with this hairdryer. There is also a cool shot button to make your blow-dry style last longer.

Michael recommends doing this every three to four months. The diffuser attachment is sold separately for £25 Any extra buttons? It has a self-cleaning button that you hold down for five seconds and the hairdryer self-cleans the filter. Weight: 360g Power: 1600w Heat settings: 3 60☌, 80☌ and 100☌ Speed settings: 3 Cable length: 3m Attachments: Comes with two magnetic directional attachments. Michael says lots of people assume it’s a travel hairdryer but it does contain the same sized motor as the most expensive hairdryer on the market. USP: Unique design, and the fact it’s super quiet and light and small.
