What matters most in a budget dryer: enough power (around 1875 watts), a cool-shot button, more than one heat setting, and a concentrator nozzle. Ionic or ceramic tech helps with frizz.

Blow-dry tips for less frizz
Towel-dry first with a microfiber towel, then rough-dry to about 80%.
Point the nozzle down the hair shaft, from root to tip.
Finish with the cool shot to lock in smoothness.
Curly hair: use a diffuser on low speed and don’t touch while drying.
