This Shark hair dryer works wonders on fine midlife hair, adding volume and reducing damage – and it's £60 off today

Hair dryers are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Not only are there many different hair types, we know women's hair changes with age and so each will need a dryer to suits their individual needs. For fine hair particularly, a hair dryer can work wonders for adding volume and shine, but too much heat and/or power can quickly result in deflated, damaged hair. 

When it comes to the best hair dryers for fine hair, the woman&home team has tested a lot to try and find the most efficient, non-damaging hot tool to help preserve the fragility of fine hair health, particularly as it matures. And we've found the best products have several speed and heat settings, and a funnel attachment to concentrate both in the correct ways. 

One of our favourite tried-and-tested hair dryers for fine hair is the Shark Style IQ Iconic hair dryer – and it has £60 off today. While testing the product for woman&home, beauty journalist Emma Stoddart said: "Powered by iQ Technology, this Shark hair dryer uses speed over force to generate a constant flow of ionized air that dries fine hair quickly with minimal damage. The results? Smoother, shinier strands. You can also take control of the dryer with three temperature and airflow settings, and even the highest heat doesn't feel searingly hot."

The Shark STYLE iQ hair dryer scores an average of 4.3 out of 5 from over 300 reviews on the Shark website. One posted a month ago, from a lady name Suzanne in the 55-64 age range reads: 

'What a fantastic hairdryer, just what I needed. I have post menopausal hair which is thinning and very brittle and dry at the ends. I have used this dryer twice and already my hair seems so much better especially at the ends, it actually looks smoother without stray brittle flyaway ends sticking out. I am learning all the correct ways to use each attachment so things can only get better. Very satisfied, thank you.'
