'Powerful' hair dryer 'as good as professional alternatives' 63% less on Amazon
Shoppers have hailed this hair dryer as "one of the best" on the market.
Having the right hair dryer is an absolute essential for daily styling. With many on the market these days, it can be overwhelming choosing the right one.
For anyone looking to target frizz and excess heat damage, then the Remington Shea Soft Hair Dryer has been branded "one of the best" to buy right now - and it's enjoying a massive 62 per cent reduction.
Worth £49.99, which is still cheaper than other brands, Amazon has reduced the cost of this bestselling hair tool to just £18.99, saving an impressive £31 overall.
The niftiest feature of this hair dryer is the shea oil-infused micro-conditioners that are released into the airflow during drying, as they leave the hair "soft" and "sleek" with each use.
Meanwhile, hair fans can help make their locks more manageable thanks to the ionic technology that distributes millions of ions to help control the look of frizz and static.
Powered by 220W for a quicker drying time, the Remington hair dryer also comes with three heat settings, two speed settings, alongside a cool shot to help keep the final style in place.
It also comes complete with two attachments - a diffuser that dispenses the air to help maintain hair shape and a concentrator to help achieve that smooth, sleek blowout.

Meanwhile, Remington's Shea Soft Hair Dryer has earned an impressive 4.6 rating based on hundreds of Amazon reviews that say it leaves hair "frizz free" and "as good as professional alternatives."
Beauty deal of the week
YSL Black Opium remains an iconic perfume - and we know where to bag the newest edition for its cheapest price.
The YSL BLack Opium Le Parfum offers a more vanilla-heavy fragrance that has been hailed as "intoxicating" in reviews, with a 50ml now half-price at Boots after being dropped from £115 to £57.50.
Massive saving aside, it's the cheapest it can be bought for at the moment, as rival retailers Superdrug, Lookfantastic and The Perfume Shop still stock it at full-price.
This interpretation of the iconic perfume was only launched in 2022, with its original floral gourmand fragrance still offering its famed notes that include pear accord, green mandarin, orange flower petals, jasmine sambac and cinnamon.
However, the iconic coffee accord has been twisted with four different, yet still complimentary, notes of vanilla, which is said to be its most important ingredient, to create an "unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity."
Meanwhile, the unique glossy bottle that has been crafted from a precious black stone, with its dazzling glitter emblem at the heart, eludes to the luxuriousness of the fragrance contained within.
As for the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Boots shoppers wanting to take advantage of the half-price discount will be glad to hear it has amassed a 4.7 rating from thousands of customers who say it "lasts all day" and "literally turns heads" when it is worn.
One five-star review read: "I love the fragrance. I used a lot the first time, not realising how intense it was. It lasts all day and continues to smell great. I literally turn heads when I wear it."
Don't miss Boots' half-price discount on the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum (50ml) that is now £57.50, down from £115.
A delighted customer wrote: "Frizz free hair drying! Amazing! Love this hair dryer and what a bargain! I have frizzy hair, this hair dryer comes with a changer! 3 heat settings, 3 speed settings."
A second impressed Amazon user wrote: "This is by far the best lightweight hair dryer. Good power, dries hair in no time. And real sleek design."
Not everyone was as overly impressed, as one three-star review criticising the performance and heat settings read: "The air flow won't blow your socks off and the hot setting would melt lead... But as a hair dryer it does what it says on the box."
But one professional said in a five-star review: "Been a hairdresser for 20 years and the quality of this is just as good as professional alternatives. Lightweight but sturdy design and looks good."
Another positive review read: "One of the most powerful and best hair dryers i've ever used for my hair! Great value for money and great for drying thick hair faster."
