Go Get a Blow Dryer

Time to stop pretending it’s just for your girlfriend

Alright fellas, let’s talk about something that most of us have been sleeping on harder than a 3-in-1 shampoo-conditioner-body wash combo: the blow dryer.

Yeah, yeah, I know — “Blow dryers are for girls,” you say as you comb your hair with your fingers and pray your colic doesn’t make you look like a cow licked your forehead. But here’s the truth: a blow dryer is the secret weapon you didn’t know you needed. It’s cheap, easy to use, and can take your hair game from “rolled out of bed” to “leading man energy” in literally two minutes.

Why Are We Like This?

Somewhere along the line, we decided that using tools to style our hair made us less manly. Meanwhile, we’ll spend $500 on beard trimmers, manscapers, nose hair zappers, and that one fancy face scrub our girl said makes our skin look “less tired.” But a $30 blow dryer? “Nah, I’ll just air dry.”

Air dry?! — that colic on the side of your head isn’t gonna lay down on its own. That swirl on the back of your head? You can’t out-pomade it forever. Blow drying smooths out those cowlicks like an iron on a wrinkled shirt. It gives your style structure, lift, and yes — volume.

Instant Volume. No Gym Membership Required.

Want that full, lifted look instead of your hair just laying flat? The blow dryer is how you get there. Aim it at the roots, give a little lift with your fingers or a brush, and boom: your hair looks like it listened to motivational podcasts on the way to work.

It’s so simple, too. Point, shoot, done. You don’t need a tutorial, just common sense and maybe a mirror. It’s like using a power tool… for your head.

Also, They’re Dirt Cheap

You can grab a solid blow dryer for less than the price of one takeout dinner. No, you don’t need the $200 titanium ionic space-age one. You need the one that turns on and blows hot air. That’s it. Plug it in and press go. It might even come with a diffuser — which sounds fancy but really just makes your curls or waves behave like they have manners.

Final Thoughts: Join the Blow Dryer Brotherhood

It’s 2025. You’re allowed to take care of your hair. You’re allowed to want it to look good. And you’re allowed to use a blow dryer without turning in your man card.

So if your morning routine is still just a towel rub and a prayer, it’s time to step it up. Get yourself a blow dryer. Your hair (and your barber) will thank you.
