This was sent to me to try out, and my first reaction was: hands-free blow drying? Yes, please. You lock your blow dryer into a clamp on top of an adjustable pole and it just holds it there for you.
It’s the Blissfuhue hands-free hair dryer stand, and I’m happy with it.
Quick Verdict
- Buy it if: you’ve ever wished you had a second hand for the round brush
- Skip it if: you’d rather keep the dryer in your hand than learn a new way to dry
- My favorite feature: How solid it feels once the dryer is in
- Would I buy again? Yes
What keeps a hair dryer stand from tipping over?
A dryer sitting on top of a tall pole is top-heavy, so the whole idea falls apart if the bottom is light. This one has a nice, heavy base. It’s weighed down enough that it doesn’t feel like it’s going anywhere easily, even with the dryer running up top.
The base is 9.9 inches across with a sponge pad underneath, and the pole is a thick aluminum rod. Those two things are why I trusted it right away.

Who gets the most out of a hands-free dryer stand?
Anyone who styles while they dry. It’s hard to style properly when one hand is stuck on the blow dryer. With the dryer parked, one hand can grab a section and the other can work the brush. A free hand also helps if you comb a leave-in through as you go, like the Remilia Cosmocap serum that goes on damp hair before blow drying. And if your hair fights you while it dries, the SUNATORIA keratin hair mask I tried made mine dry smoother.
It’s also made for drying pets, so you can keep both hands on the brush and the animal. I’ve only used it on my own hair so far.
Drying my hair from a chair, then the couch
Putting it together was super easy. You screw one small screw into the base with the tool that comes in the box, push the top piece on, and extend it. Standing on its own, it looks like a microphone stand.
Then I put my dryer in, turned it on, and sat under it. I could play on my iPad while it dried my hair. To reach the other side of my head, I just spun myself around. You could also carry it over to the couch and sit there instead.
Small details that made setup easy
- Height by section: You pull up or push down on each part of the pole on its own, so you can match it to a chair or to standing.
- A head that turns: The clamp swivels and locks, so you can aim the air down toward you instead of straight out.
- A hook for the cord: You can wrap the cord around it, or just loop it over like I did. I use my dryer almost every day, so it can stay right there on the stand. I still unplug it when I’m done, because I don’t like leaving these things plugged in.
A few more things I liked
- It seems like good quality, not a flimsy plastic gadget
- My dryer fit without any adapter
- I’m sure I’ll find more uses for it beyond my dryer
The part that takes a little practice
- You move your head, not the dryer. My hand kept wanting to reach for it at first, but I got used to it fast.
- Set the height before you turn the dryer on, so you aren’t adjusting it with hot air on your hand.
Questions people ask about hair dryer stands
Will a heavier or salon-style dryer stay in the clamp?
Most will. The clamp has a soft lining and fits most dryers on the market, Dyson, Shark and Babyliss included. Mine stayed locked in the whole time I dried my hair.
Can I use a diffuser with it?
Yes. It’s made to hold a dryer with a diffuser on, so you can dry curls with both hands free to scrunch.
Does it help if raising your arms is hard?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons it exists. It’s designed for people with arthritis, shoulder pain or an arm injury, because the stand carries the dryer and your arms only do the styling, or nothing at all.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it comes with a 2-year warranty.
Other ways to hold a dryer hands-free
- LUEXBOX Suction Cup Hair Dryer Holder: Sticks to a mirror or tile wall with a suction cup and has a bendable arm, so it takes no floor space. It’s sized for small to medium dryers.
- PANTWOO Clamp Hair Dryer Holder: Clips onto the edge of a counter, vanity or table with a gooseneck arm you can bend in any direction. No tools, and it holds dryers up to 2 pounds.
- DYNWAVE Dog Hair Dryer Stand: Clamps onto a grooming table between 1 and 8 centimeters thick. It’s built for drying dogs and cats rather than your own hair.
Is it staying in my routine?
Yes. My dryer stays on it between uses now, so it’s ready every time I wash my hair.
