Conair InfinitiPRO Performa Hair Dryer is right behind at 17 of 20. Conair Double Ceramic Hair Dryer has the highest share at 8 of 9, but that comes from a small group of reviewers.

## Questions

**Which hair dryer is good for frizzy hair?**

Revlon One-Step Volumizer Hot-Air Brush has the best record, with 53 of 63 reviewers saying their hair came out smooth. Conair InfinitiPRO Performa Hair Dryer comes next at 17 of 20.

**Does an ionic hair dryer reduce frizz?**

Plenty of dryers say ionic on the box, but the label doesn't settle it. Conair InfinitiPRO Performa Hair Dryer and Revlon Perfect Heat Style Hair Dryer are both sold as ionic dryers, and their records here are far apart: 17 of 20 versus 21 of 34.

**Is the Conair Double Ceramic Hair Dryer good for frizz?**

The reviewers who weighed in mostly said yes (8 of 9). It's a small group, so treat it as a good sign rather than a sure thing.

**How do I blow-dry my hair without frizz?**

Use a heat protectant, point the airflow down from roots to ends, and finish with the cool setting. Pick a lower heat that still dries your hair, and let it air-dry a bit first if it's soaking wet.
