As light as a feather: Introducing the best lightweight hair dryer in Australia

In this article

There are lots of hair dryers available in Australia, but choosing a lightweight blow dryer has many advantages. Primarily, you can dry your hair whether at home or on the go and you don’t need to worry about carrying a bulky dryer around with you.

Also, when you choose a high-quality easy-to-carry dryer, you can style your hair with a powerful dryer that packs a lot of punch. But how do you guarantee that the lightweight dryer you choose is up to scratch?

Read on as we explain how to choose a super compact hair dryer that is trusted by millions of people worldwide and is available now in Australia.

What is a lightweight hair dryer?

The weight of a hair dryer is important to think about. Drying your hair with a heavy, bulky dryer can be tough on your wrists, and it’s not suitable if you regularly travel for work or pleasure. After all, carrying a heavy hair dryer around with you takes up a lot of space in your luggage, which could be put to better use.

A lightweight hair dryer, on the other hand, is compact, slim, and easy to use. It’s also easy to pack in your carry-on bag or hold luggage if you’re flying.

Thanks to the latest technological innovations and flimsy materials, you can now buy hair dryers that are super lightweight, weighing 500g or less. Let’s investigate some of the advantages of investing in the best lightweight hair dryers in Australia.

Why choose a lightweight hair dryer?

So, given your options, why go for a lightweight hair dryer over a regular dryer? Here are some of the advantages:

Ease of styling

Using a lightweight blow dryer makes styling much easier. You have complete flexibility on how to hold and direct the dryer, enabling you to dry your hair thoroughly and evenly. The ergonomic design of the best lightweight dryers means that you can effortlessly rotate and angle the dryer in numerous ways, achieving your preferred style without any issues.

Less pressure on your wrists

Lightweight hair dryers put much less pressure on your arms and wrists than heavy, bulky dryers. If you experience wrist and joint issues like arthritis, switching to a lightweight dryer can make a huge difference to your comfort levels. It can reduce the strain on your joints when drying your hair, offering relief.  

Perfect for traveling

As touched on above, lightweight hair dryers are the perfect travel companion. When you go for a lightweight dryer, you can pack it in your luggage without worrying about taking up too much of your limited available weight. When your dryer is slim and 500g or less, you can throw it in your carry-on bag or check-in luggage without any issues. Then, when you arrive at your hotel ahead of your big night out, you can style your hair with your own dryer rather than using the hotel’s sub-standard dryer.

Compact and streamlined design

Most lightweight dryers are compact and ergonomically designed for ease of use. So, as well as being lightweight, your dryer is compact and easy to use, store, or travel with. Thanks to minimalist designs and innovative technology, small, lightweight dryers pack a lot of punch and are capable of impressive results despite their limited size.

Are there any downsides to using lightweight dryers?

Choosing a lightweight hair dryer doesn’t necessarily come with any drawbacks, but you need to research carefully and think about the various features the blow dryer has. For instance, if the dryer is cheap and made of plastic, it probably won’t deliver the results that you expect.

Moreover, you must check the voltage and the capability of the motor for a true picture of how efficient the dryer is. Also, think about whether the dryer comes with features like adjustable heat and speed settings to give you greater flexibility when drying your hair.

Introducing the Laifen SE: Australia’s best lightweight hair dryer

Given the numerous benefits of switching to a lightweight hair dryer, we want to introduce you to one of the lightest and best hair dryers in Australia – the Laifen SE.

Introducing the Laifen SE: Australia’s best lightweight hair dryer

Trusted by more than eight million people in numerous countries, the Laifen SE is one of the world’s most trusted ionic hair dryers, and it has received celebrity endorsements from Brad Mondo and others. Below are some of the features that help the Laifen SE stand out from the crowd as a super lightweight dryer in Australia:

Extremely lightweight

The Laifen SE is one of the lightest hair dryers in Australia, weighing just 407g. It’s extremely easy to use, and its lightweight and compact design makes it a great travel buddy if you want to take it on the road. 

Powerful brushless motor

Our lightweight hairdryer is deceptively powerful, thanks to a brushless motor that’s capable of 105,000 RPM. This is much more powerful than many bulky hair dryers available on the Australian market.

Adjustable heat settings

The Laifen SE has three heat settings, giving you the chance to dry your hair via the cool, medium, or hot setting. This flexibility protects your hair and scalp from heat damage and offers greater flexibility when styling.

Ionic technology

All Laifen dryers boast the latest ionic technology, which dries your hair efficiently via the production of negative ions. The dryer emits ions that attach to the water molecules on your hair, breaking them down before drying them. The result is faster and more efficient drying times.

Several speed settings

You can toggle between the regular and fast speed setting when drying your hair with the Laifen SE lightweight hair dryer. Choose the speed that’s best suited to your drying and styling preferences and adjust accordingly.

Attachments available

You can order a diffuser or concentrator nozzle to attach to your Laifen SE hair dryer. The diffuser is great for blow-drying curly and wavy hair, while the concentrator helps if you have straight hair. Both attachments are available via the Laifen store, or you can order the Laifen SE, which includes each attachment as part of the package.

Recap: Why buy a hair dryer that is lightweight? 

Buying a lightweight hair dryer in Australia gives you styling flexibility whether you’re at home, on vacation, or on a business trip. The Laifen SE is extremely lightweight at less than 500 grams and features numerous settings, including adjustable heat, ionic technology, and several speed options. You can also order various attachments, including a diffuser or concentrator nozzle, depending on your hair type and style.

FAQ

Q1: How heavy is a lightweight hair dryer?

This depends, as many dryers are branded “lightweight” when they are fairly heavy. We believe that anything under 500g can be deemed as truly lightweight, as this is light enough to be easy to use, while still comprising sufficient power and technology.

Q2: Are lightweight hair dryers powerful enough?

Again, this depends. You should check the quality of the motor included in the hair dryer, and it may also help to check the voltage, as this indicates how powerful the dryer is. We recommend a dryer with at least 1600W for the best performance levels. 

Q3: Can you take a lightweight hair dryer on an airplane?

Yes, you can take a lightweight hair dryer on an airplane. You can pack your hair dryer in your carry-on bag or in your check-in bag. Wrap your hairdryer well to protect it before heading off on your trip to prevent any damage.
