Thick long hair - which hairdryer will dry it quickly?

I don't haver time to dry my hair most days as it is long and thick and holds the water. I have to towel dry for ages before I start drying and then it takes about 20 mins to dry it nicely before I can straighten it.
Any recommendations for an excellent hairdryer under £50?

I have a Dyson hairdryer. It was expensive, but totally worth it for me. It takes me half the time to dry my hair now. My daughter has long, thick hair & has her own hairdryer but was moaning about how long it takes her so she borrowed mine a few times & she has also commented how much quicker it was.

My hairdressers always use Parlux ones, way better than the cheap one I have at home.

I don't have £300 to spend unfortunately otherwise I would be all over a dyson!

I have a babyliss salon pro and that dries my very thick, long hair much quicker than any previous dryer I have had.

Personally, I would never spend more than 30 for a hair dryer! I have long, thick hair and I use a microfiber cloth to take most of the water out and then I dry my hair in sections by pinning up the top layer. It only takes me a few minutes to dry it that way.

I have really thick wavy hair and bought the ghd air hairdryer and it takes maybe 10 mins at a push to dry now. It's less than 100 pounds which I think is expensive but totally worth it.

I have similar hair and I think it is in good condition because I never overdry it - mine would need over an hour wet to dry which would eventually fry it. I just wash every other day at a convenient time, towel dry, wrap for a while (Not too long or it 'sets' up) then good brush through and use a dryer while part dry.

Tresemme 12.99 - I used it in a leeds hotel and it was so good I had to buy one
