It promises to reduce the damage caused by brushing using so-callled nanoe to trap moisture in the hair. The Panasonic EH-NA65 – horrible name, better performance – split opinion. Photograph: Alicia Canter/The GuardianĪttachments: 1 styling nozzle, 1 quick-dry nozzle, diffuser Verdict: powerful, compact and easy to handle Its compact form and sturdy build made it a good candidate for those that travel the odd time, but don’t want a full-time travel dryer. Lack of a diffuser in the box holds it back for curly hair (it’s a £10 extra), while some straight hair testers found it caused their locks to be a bit dry and coarse, but others said it made their hair shiny and soft with no need for straighteners. It was neither the quietest or nor the loudest in our test – still loud enough to block out dialogue from a TV in the room like all the rest. The grill at the back twists off easily for cleaning. The switches felt solid, if a little old-school compared to some others. Our testers found it had good temperature control, was easy to handle with a short snout, long cord and ergonomic handle, and dried hair fast.

While some of the claims seem a little far-fetched – given it was the loudest in the test, one of the heaviest and one of the most difficult to handle because of its long snout – it got good results for most. The Babyliss 3Q promises a lot on the box: faster drying, lighter weight, smooth finish and low noise.
