# Best hair dryers for fine hair Source: https://airandbarrel.com/best/best-hair-dryer-for-fine-hair Publisher: Air & Barrel. Picks are chosen from what each Amazon listing states, not from hands-on tests. Method: https://airandbarrel.com/how-we-pick Fine hair dries quickly, so the most useful thing a dryer can offer is control at the low end: several low and medium heat steps, a gentle airflow option and a cool shot. A light body also helps, because you will spend more time placing the dryer than running it at full power. Volume features matter too, since fine hair often falls flat. This guide compares seven dryers over $150 on those points, using only what their Amazon listings state: heat and speed step counts, any gentle or low-heat mode, listed weight and the attachments in the box. Some listings speak to fine hair directly, and we say so. Where a number is missing, the table shows Not stated. ## Picks ### 1.
