BEST HAIR DRYER
Dyson Supersonic
Hair Dryer
With three speed settings,
four heat settings and five styling attachments, it’s no wonder this blow dryer wooed our entire expert panel. “This is the Rolls Royce of hair dryers,” said one judge.
BEST STRAIGHTENER
Dyson Corrale

This cordless straightener sits head and shoulders above the rest thanks to game-changing flexing plates that gather and hold hair in place. Its design allows for lower heat settings to achieve sleek and smooth styles without causing damage.
BEST SKINCARE TOOL
Silk’n Titan
AllWays
This do-it-all skin-tightening tool for the face combines radio frequency, LED light and infrared heat energy into one hand-held device. “It’s so relaxing to use,” said our judge. “It feels comfortable on skin and is virtually pain-free.”
