After a rough dry, our hair looked shiny and largely frizz free with the Salon Light and this was helped by the use of the nozzle.

The BaByliss 2100 Salon Light would be Goldilocks’ ideal hair dryer: it’s not too heavy, not too loud, not too cheap and not too expensive. Compared to its other rivals, however, the Salon Light’s sound level puts it in the middle of the pack.

There are three heat and two power settings, a cold shot button and a 3m cable – which is amongst the longest on dryers we’ve tested.Two cons: one the lead is not long enough and second the cool air buttons is awkward to press as you need to hold and press it all the time. Achieve the perfect blow dry with the Elegance 2100 Hair Dryer from BaByliss, a brand that combines high fashion styling with outstanding quality. Given its similarity to other BaByliss models, we wouldn’t be surprised if a diffuser from a different model was suitable with this one, although we haven’t tested that yet.

Unfortunately, like with many of its rivals, this cold shot button is positioned a little awkwardly on the handle so using it for longer than a minute or so started to ache our hand. In a market saturated with black hair dryers, the Salon Light’s shiny red shell is a refreshing change. Having only one nozzle does limit the styling options a little, and it’s a shame this dryer doesn’t come with a diffuser.

The in-your-face colour and slightly cheap-looking finish is where the Salon Light starts to reveal its budget side.Travel dryers from TRESemmé and Remington have produced faster times, but they lack the conditioning technology so we’re willing to make that sacrifice for hair that’s in better condition.
