This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hot Tools. All opinions are 100% mine.

One perk of being a blogger is that when you put something out into the universe (i.e., social media) the answer often comes back to you in a very direct way. Case in point: I was in the market for a new blow dryer. I didn't want to splurge on a designer brand but didn't want to waste money on something cheap either.

The consensus from reader feedback was that your middle-range dryer would give you the best results for the cost. So when Hot Tools reached out to me about their Signature Series, I agreed to give it a try.
And happily I can say this dryer is amazing!
It's just $49 on amazon.com or walmart.com and looks sleek and chic. The moment you pick it up, you notice how very light it is. And the moment you turn it on, you notice the power. Strong, yet quiet and easy to control. My hair dried faster without over-drying and the settings make it easy to get the speed and temperature you need. I can't say enough good things about the Hot Tools Signature Series Blow Dryer. I'm kinda curious to test out their curling iron and flat iron next! (There I go again, putting things out into the universe! hah!)

Bonus: Hot Tools is a brand widely used in professional salons and many stylists may own a Hot Tools Professional Series product.
Hot Tools launched the Signature Series line to bring styling tools from a trusted brand used by professionals to everyone.
I love their tagline, too, as it resonates with my own "Budget Babe mantra" and that is, "Everyone Deserves Beautiful." So true!

If you're looking for a new blow dryer, definitely give Hot Tools a look. Makes a great holiday gift under $50, too! Find the Hot Tools Signature Series at Walmart, Amazon and other mass retailers.
