Our Futaria Has Been Named The Guardian's Best Lightweight Hair Dryer
We’re pretty proud of this one.
Our Head Jog Futaria Hair Dryer has been named the Best Lightweight Hair Dryer by The Guardian in its guide to the best hairdryers in the UK.
And it wasn’t just the lightweight design that impressed them.
After putting our Futaria through its paces, The Guardian’s reviewer described it as:
Now that’s something worth shouting about.
Lightweight. Powerful. Seriously fast.
At just 304g, we designed the Futaria to be lightweight enough for comfortable everyday use without compromising on performance.
And it certainly packs a punch.
With wind speeds of up to 43.8m/s, our Futaria delivers serious airflow. In The Guardian’s test, the reviewer managed to rough-dry their hair in just four minutes.
For professional stylists, that kind of speed can make a real difference during a busy day in the salon.
Less time drying. More time styling.
Designed for professionals
We created the Futaria with professional performance in mind — combining a powerful digital motor with a lightweight, evenly balanced design.
It features:
3 speed settings
4 heat settings, including cool shot
2 concentrator nozzles
A diffuser
3m professional salon cord
304g weight
Up to 43.8m/s wind speed
The Guardian particularly highlighted our wider concentrator nozzle, which they found useful for styling larger sections of hair and speeding up the drying process.
Less weight. Less strain. More styling.
If you're holding a hair dryer all day, every day, weight matters.
That’s why we wanted our Futaria to feel lightweight and comfortable in the hand, while still delivering the power professionals need.
The Guardian specifically highlighted its suitability for busy salons, noting its potential to reduce wrist strain and maximise time efficiency.
And that's exactly what we wanted to achieve.
Powerful, but with control
Our Futaria isn't just about maximum power.
With four heat settings and three speeds, you can adjust the dryer depending on the hair you're working with and the finish you're creating.
The diffuser gives you flexibility for different hair types, while the concentrator nozzles provide the precision needed for a smooth, controlled blow-dry.
And when you don't need all that power? Simply turn it down.
The Guardian's verdict
The Guardian described our Futaria as the “dark horse” of its hairdryer testing, having not encountered HeadJog before putting it through its paces.
After testing it, the reviewer praised its combination of speed, power, lightweight design and value — naming it the Best Lightweight Hair Dryer.
We're obviously delighted.
We've always wanted HeadJog tools to combine quality, innovation and value, so seeing our Futaria recognised by The Guardian is a pretty special moment for us.
