Deemed an “excellent Dyson alternative” by shoppers, the high-powered Laifen Hair Dryer is a high-powered hair dryer that Amazon shoppers adore. For those looking for a compact and efficient hair dryer that cuts styling time in half, you’ve come to the right place — because we spotted it on sale for 40 percent off on Amazon today.
The Laifen hair dryer is a gem in its category, as it boasts super powerful airflow that dries thick hair in mere minutes, while also distributing gentle heat that prevents damage and hot spots. Its Thermo-Control microprocessor monitors heat by alternating hot and cold air streams, while drying a whole mane two times faster than typical tools. It also features negative ion technology that smooths strands by locking in moisture and effectively reducing frizz. Plus, its compact design weighs in at just 0.9 pounds, so your arms will never suffer for a great blowout — and makes for an ideal travel hair dryer, too.

One WWD Shop editor, who has long, thick hair, was surprised by the strength of the Laifen Hair Dryer’s airflow. She reported: “When I first turned on this hair dryer, I was taken aback by its power. It created a large gust of wind that rattled the shower curtain in my bathroom — and that was on the low setting. Its strong airflow is great for super speedy hair drying. This also may be the most quiet hair dryer I’ve ever used.” Even cooler? An LED light feature is part of the blow drier, corresponding to each setting, so you’ll always know what setting you’re using. It also comes with a concentrator nozzle that’s great for smoothing hair and creating sleek volume.

Reviewers were blown away by the drying power, with one shopper calling it “ideal.” They explained, “the low speed moves a nice — not wimpy — volume of air. The high speed is very powerful yet still allows control.” Dozens of testers also prefer it as an alternative to pricey Dyson hair tools, saying, “It weighs less, which allows for more fluid movement, as opposed to feeling like I am flinging it if I am using my non-dominant hand,” and that “it works better for thick hair.” Other testers who have pets marveled at the quietness of the dryer: “The Laifen sounds only like a rush of air. You barely hear the motor at either level, it’s more like wind.”
This dryer rarely sees this good of a price drop, so we recommend you don’t wait to snag one for yourself.
