Are you looking for a simple, no-frills hair dryer that doesn’t break the bank?

Hair dryers dry hair… so the Cortex is not special in that regard.

But what stands out is how light it is.

It doesn’t feel like it weighs anything yet it still works well.

When you have a lot of hair like I do, blow drying can take forever.

This hair dryer comes in five colors: black, gray, pink, purple and silver.

All three heat configs worked well.

The only thing that could be improved is the maximum heat setting – it’s too hot.

But this is a problem with many hair dryers.

You’ll be fine if you stick to the lower controls.
