From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Brilliant for beauty products on a budget, Aldi’s middle aisle is the place to be, whether you’re after a baccarat rouge 540 alternative or a bonded hair care treatment to rival Olaplex’s cult favourite collection.

Now, returning to the middle, Aldi’s sell-out ionic hair dryer is back in stock. While we haven’t tried the tool, and can’t speak to its hair-drying prowess, it does, at first glance, appear to look in keeping with Dyson’s supersonic hair dryer.

The Dyson dryer was named the best luxury hair dryer, with our reviewer lauding it as a “go-to for gold-standard styling”, that delivers “a real punch of power for fast drying times”. It really has become a cult beauty tool, so it’s hardly a surprise Aldi’s launched an affordable alternative, costing just £14.99.

This is bound to fly off the shelves now that it’s returned, so here’s everything you need to know about Aldi’s Visage ionic hairdryer.

Touted for offering salon-worthy results, Aldi’s ionic hair dryer is said to use concentrated airflow in order to efficiently dry your strands. Much like the Dyson supersonic, it comes with a choice of three heat settings and two speed settings, while there’s a cool shot button to prevent heat damage.

You can also use this cool shot to hold your hair in place once you’ve styled it. While it doesn’t appear to come with any styling attachments (the Dyson supersonic does), the model is corded and is available in blue or pink.

If you want to get your hands on the ionic hair dryer, make your way to your local Aldi store now.
