Ipstea Ionic Hair Dryer, $70 with Prime

“Purchased this after my Dyson broke,”wrote one reviewer. “It works the exact same way! So happy I was able to find the same quality for less.”

Just like the Dyson, the Ipstea is an ionic hair dryer instead of a traditional ceramic model. This means it has a built-in negative ion generator that neutralizes the positive ions in your hair that cause static. Ionic hair dryers use less intense heat than ceramic ones to do the same job, but it’s fairly sophisticated technology that can drive up the price in many cases.

“It’s powerful and dries my hair significantly faster than my old one,”wrote another shopper. “The ionic technology seems to make a difference — my hair feels smoother and less frizzy.”

The brand says it can dry short hair in two minutes and long, thick locks in under six minutes. The Ipstea’s brushless motor runs at two speeds, and the tool has four heat settings: hot, warm, cold, and a circulation mode that cycles between them.

The Ipstea can be used with no attachment, but it also comes with a smooth nozzle to direct the air right where you need it for a sleek, straight style and a diffuser that spreads it out more evenly for curly strands. Both attachments are magnetic,which a third reviewer saidis nice because they “snap on easily and stay securely in place.”

Amazon shoppers also say the device looks and feels like a luxury item, from its tactile buttons to the color-changing light ring that shows its air temperature at a glance. Ifyou’re a Prime memberand have been wanting to upgrade your hair routine, this is a great chance to try theIpstea Ionic Hair Dryerwhile it’s 71 percent off.
