I’ve been blow drying my own hair since about 12-14 years old. My mother is a hairdresser so my first hair dryer was one of her cast offs. I had that thing until it literally was blowing smoke and shorted out. Since then I’ve changed a few of them.
But how can you know it’s time to get a new one?
The answer is simple! If at least one of the signs below applies to YOUR hair dryer, it definitely needs an upgrade!
5 Signs you need a new hair dryer!
Sign 1 …
You can’t remember when you bought it.
Sign 2 …
It takes you twice as long to dry your hair then it used to.
Sign 3…
You can smell smoke.
Sign 4…
It’s not running as hot as it used to.
Sign 5…
If your hair dryer doesn’t have the words ceramic or ion, it’s definitely time for an upgrade.

What to look for?
- When you’re in the market for a new blow dryer of course you have to take your budget into consideration and the amount of money you are willing to spend on a dryer. You should also think about the usage you’re going to get out of it.
I tend to use mine weekly and they last me forever so I consider a blow dryer a pretty good investment.


Nice job on your post!
In my case, my curling iron should be added to these signs…..I definitely need to start shopping around for a new one, or I am waiting for a really bad hair day in the near future…lol
