Recreating an in-salon blow dry at home is no mean feat.

Getting your hair to play ball is akin to Russian roulette. Some days you can create hair to rival Kate Middleton's but other days you're left resembling King Louis. A key starting point?

Most people use it to dry and tame their hair every day so investing in a good quality one is paramount. Whilst we've had the Dyson hairdryer on our wish list since it launched (and been saving ever since), it seems we don't need to splurge our hard-earned cash on such an expensive piece of kit.

People have been waxing lyrical about a £9 hairdryer from Primark, saying it's even better than expensive salon dryers.

Taking to a Facebook group to share their reviews of the hairdryer, people wrote about how sleek the hairdryer leaves their ends, working particularly well on long hair.
