# Best straightener and hair dryer sets and 2-in-1 tools Source: https://plateandcurl.co.uk/best/best-straightener-and-dryer-sets Publisher: Plate and Curl. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://plateandcurl.co.uk/how-we-pick There are two ways to get a straightener and a hair dryer together. The first is a boxed set of two separate tools, which gives you a full dryer for any style plus a plate straightener for dry hair. The second is a 2-in-1 tool that blows air while it straightens, so freshly washed hair goes from wet to sleek in one pass. A set is more flexible, since the dryer can be used with a diffuser or round brush. A 2-in-1 saves time and space but usually only does straight styles, unless it is a multi-styler with extra attachments. This guide compares one straightener and dryer set with five 2-in-1 tools from Dyson, Shark and ghd on how each straightens, how it dries and whether the listing says to use it on wet hair. ## Products ### 1.
