We’ve all been there: We’re at the salon getting our hair blown out or standing in our bathroom attempting to style our hair ourselves, only for someone to try to start a full-blown conversation amongst the racket. What usually ensues is a lot squinting and eyebrow raising in an often-failed attempt to actually hear what they’re trying to say. Of course, this wouldn’t be the case if hairdryers were even the slightest bit less noisy (and yes! quiet hair dryers do exist)!

Fortunately for us, we live in an age where beauty technology is forever on the rise, and with that has come a series of hairdryers that are so quiet, you can still carry on a conversation. To save you from having to find device with a magical motor—one in which produces high-speed air at a lower sound decibel—I’ve done the hands-on research for you.

Now, before introducing you to these must-try dryers, I want you to remember two things: A) A quiet hairdryer is still not 100 percent noiseless, it’s just noticeably less noisy than a regular dryer, and B) with lower sound often comes a higher price tag, but know that investing in one of these puppies will help make drying faster and more efficient. So, without further ado, shop five conversation-positive hairdryers below.
