We all need a hairdryer, but while having a salon-quality blow dry every morning would be lovely, not everyone wants to spend a fortune to achieve this. Fortunately, the GHI has earmarked Nicky Clarke’s Frizz Control model as one of its top picks in their 2019 round up, which, at just £32, is a bit of a bargain.
This hairdryer has a really long cable, which is handy if your mirror isn't positioned near to your plug socket. With two power levels, two speeds and a boost button, it’s got everything you should need. The dryer utilises ionic technology to help your hair stay free of frizz and testers felt that it was good at getting the job done. They were especially impressed with how easy the controls were to use, which earned them a 10/10 score from the Institute.

Several of those who trialled the dryer claimed it dried their hair more quickly than usual. Others commented that, at 590 grams, it felt a little lightweight compared with more expensive models. A few individuals also feel the higher heat setting was a little hot, so if your skin is more sensitive, perhaps the lower power level should be recommended.
This model’s comparatively low noise levels when compared with other dryers was also highlighted as a plus point, which is a bonus if your current morning hair routine tends to wake up your partner.
All in all, the Institute team liked the voluminous styles this hair dryer could create, calling it a “reasonably priced dryer that would be ideal for anyone who finds themselves fighting frizz”.
For those who are looking for sleek style on a budget, we think this sounds pretty good. You can pick up one of these Nicky Clarke hairdryers from Amazon here.
