2Best New Blow Dryer
Harry Josh Pro Tools Pro Dryer 2000, $300
Roll out the red carpet for this new Rolls Royce of blow dryers. Created by celebrity stylist Harry Josh (Gwyneth Paltrow, Gisele Bundchen and Rose Byrne), this blow dryer is handcrafted in France and blows air up to 81 mph, which means it can dry your hair about 60 percent faster than regular blow dryers. It also has a control switch for the ionic technology—flip it on for smooth results, flip it off for more volume. It’s expensive, but it should last for 15 years, which makes it a wise investment.
