If you're going to buy a hair dryer make sure it's tourmaline. Negative ions are extremely important as they help to close the cuticle of the hair shaft and lock in moisture thereby reducing drying time and giving your hair a shinier, healthy look that lasts longer. Tourmaline emits 6 times more negative ions than does ceramic. If you're unsure about which model to buy, here are some recommendations of the best on offer.

Seriously, if you want fabulous looking hair you need a blow dryer that coats your hair in negative ions. Conventional models just heat up air using a metal coil and then just blow it out the nozzle. Problem is, these appliances produce positive ions that unlock the cuticles, which in turn leads to dull, dry, frizzy hair leaving you with that 'just been blow dried' look.

Thankfully, technical advances have led to ones that were first 'ionic' - they emitted good negative ions, next came ceramic heating plates - to help emit more (and concentrate) the negative ions, and now finally we have dryers that have crushed tourmaline jewels that have been infused (coated) onto the ceramic parts. So, if you're looking to buy a new one to replace your old model, you should definitely been looking for a tourmaline model.

Here's a run down on some of the best that are currently available.

Cheap But Good

If you're limited on budget don't despair; the good news is that there are plenty of excellent low-cost models.

Andis are an American company who still design and manufacture its styling tool in the U.S. The Andis 80285 Tourmaline Ionic is great value, costing as little as $30. But, don't think you won't be getting a good product for this little money. It comes with a powerful 1875 watt motor - most professional styling tools comes with 1800 watts - and you also get a cool shot button for locking in curls. And, unlike some other more expensive models, it also includes a professional concentrator and styling pick.

If your budget can stretch to $50 dollars, then take a look at the Conair Infiniti Nano Silver Tourmaline Dryer. Again, you get a powerful 1875 watt motor, 3 heat and 2 speed settings with a cool shot button. It also comes with a very versatile concentrator and a tourmaline coated straightening pick.

Mid-priced But Of Professional Quality

BaByliss offer an extensive range of blow dryers from mid to expensive. The BaByliss PRO TT (Carrera 2) Tourmaline 3000 Dryer not only looks stylish it styles very well too. The motor is 1900 watts but the whole unit only weighs 1.26lbs making it extremely lightweight and easy to use. You get 6 speed and heat setting and cool shot button but its biggest selling pint has to be the 50 month warranty that comes with it.

The BEST Money Can Buy

This is very subjective but generally, the more you pay the better hair styler you get. Brands like CHI, Solano and the T3 Tourmaline hair dryer all retail from anywhere between $130 and $200. It's a lot of money but you can be certain that you'll be buying one that is used by professional stylists.

There's no such thing as the best tourmaline hair dryer; rather the best is the one that you feel comfortable using, that you bought at a price you were comfortable with and, most importantly, makes you hair look and feel beautiful. My personal favorite is the T3 Tourmaline Featherweight hair dryer; it just delivers perfect results time after time.
