Gone are the days when styling tools and hair dryers belonged only on a woman’s vanity shelf. Men use them too for a quick dry, putting the hair in place and just to get a clean look quickly. However, they also look for something that doesn’t take too much effort and time. Just enough to go from damp to done, with maybe a little volume or shape. 

Whether you’re rocking a textured crop, slick back, or just trying not to leave the house with bedhead, a solid blow-dry can make all the difference — especially if you’re not big on using a bunch of products. Below are hair dryers that work especially well for men who want great results without having to master a round brush or watch YouTube tutorials.
