Best Blow Dryer
Editors' Pick Winner: Dyson Supersonic
Why: Let's just get this out of the way: This hair dryer is $400. That said, it's an innovative product like we've never seen. The drying time -- even for thick, unruly hair -- is less than five minutes. Truly a beauty game-changer.

Honorable Mention: Xtava Double Shine Ionic Dryer

Readers' Choice Winner: Remington T-Studio Pearl Ceramic Professional AC Hair Dryer
Why: The airflow is strong and stable, which allows for a faster drying time. I've found that my hair stays straight longer and is softer and smoother when I use this dryer, thanks to its ceramic coils.

Honorable Mention: Babyliss Pro TT Tourmaline Titanium 5000 Dryer

Why: A few pumps of this blow-dry serum transforms wet hair into sleek, shiny strands. Consider this frizz-banisher your ticket to your most polished, silky self.

Honorable Mention: Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture Brassica Seed & Shea Oils Silkening Blow Out Creme

Readers' Choice Winner: Tigi Bed Head Superstar Blow-Dry Lotion
Why: I use this daily on my baby-fine straight hair. It gives me lots of volume and shine without weighing my hair down and causing it to go flat.

Honorable Mention: Redken Satinwear 04: Thermal Smoothing Blow-Dry Lotion
