I tried the sell-out £14.99 Aldi hair dryer for myself to see what all the fuss was about

I’ve never been the type of person to save their ‘best’ of anything for a special occasion - from new clothes to luxury make-up. I’m just as likely to sport an expensive-looking blow dry on a random Tuesday in the office as I am at a black-tie event. So as you can imagine, I’m pretty picky when it comes to the best hair dryers.

That doesn’t mean I’m a snob however - far from it. My favourite unconventional tool to get silky, volumised curls is a £43 set of heated hair rollers, so I know that some of the best hair tools around come in surprisingly affordable packages. In fact, some of team MC’s top hair straighteners and curling wand picks are well under £100. That’s why I couldn’t contain my excitement when I heard about Aldi’s TikTok-famous £14.99 ionic hair dryer.
