Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer | HyperDry Series | Low-Temperature Rapid Drying | High-Speed Round Head | Magenta and Gunmetal Grey
Gentler warmth for wash days on natural curls, braids and wigs, without baking each strand.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Mascom International stocks the Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer at KSh 2,700, brand new and sealed, from Amaya's HyperDry series. The box promises low-temperature rapid drying and carries the line "refuse to bake", which sums up the idea: dry hair quickly without blasting it with harsh heat. The Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer uses a high-speed layout, with a compact round head, buttons on the handle and a knurled air intake at the base of the handle. A magenta front ring sits against a gunmetal-grey body. See it at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for women and men who style at home, the Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer suits wash days on natural hair, drying braids and locs after a rinse, and freshening weaves and wigs. Many classic dryers dry fast only by running hot, and repeated high heat leaves natural hair dry and brittle. The HyperDry approach leans on airflow instead, so you can dry thoroughly at a lower heat. Students in hostels, gym-goers rushing to the office and home stylists in the estates all gain from a lighter, handle-driven dryer. The Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer also suits humid Mombasa and Kisumu mornings.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops keep hair dryers sealed behind the counter, Mascom International lets you hold the Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer and feel its weight and balance before buying. Customers across Nairobi tell us they want a dryer that is easier on their hair than the old salon-style models, and this one answers that request at an accessible price. It sits KSh 100 below the Amaya AHD-580 Hair Dryer and KSh 300 below the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer. Visit us on Kimathi Street, or order the Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer on WhatsApp and pay when it arrives.
Common Questions About the Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer
How much is the Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer in Kenya?
The Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer costs KSh 2,700 brand new and sealed at Mascom International, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. That price includes our 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties.

What does HyperDry low-temperature rapid drying mean on the Amaya AHD-300?
HyperDry is Amaya's name for the drying approach on the Amaya AHD-300: fast airflow doing most of the work, with less reliance on high heat. The box describes it as low-temperature rapid drying and adds the phrase "refuse to bake". In practice, you keep the head moving and let the air push water out of the hair. Amaya does not print a temperature figure on the box, so judge the warmth in store before buying.
Is the Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer good for natural hair and braids?
The Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer suits natural hair and braids because its HyperDry design aims to dry without baking the hair. On wash day, stretch sections gently and dry from root to tip, holding the head a hand's width away. For braids and locs, dry the base first, since damp roots can smell and itch. Use a heat protectant on natural hair. If your scalp stays irritated or flaky, see a doctor.
How does the Amaya AHD-300 compare with the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer?
The Amaya AHD-300 costs KSh 2,700, and the Poree PH1650UK High-Speed Hair Dryer costs KSh 3,000. Both use a high-speed layout with the air intake at the base of the handle. The AHD-300 comes in magenta and gunmetal grey and carries the HyperDry low-temperature claim. The Poree is white and ships with a UK 3-pin plug that fits Kenyan sockets directly. Pick the AHD-300 to save KSh 300; pick the Poree for its white finish and confirmed plug.
Can I use the Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer safely with KPLC power swings?
Yes, the Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer is safe on Kenyan power if you protect it from surges and outages. KPLC voltage swings and sudden cuts are hard on any appliance with a motor, so switch it off and unplug it the moment the lights flicker. The Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector, KSh 1,200 at Mascom International, sits between socket and dryer and cuts power during a swing. Ask us on WhatsApp to confirm the plug fitted to current stock.
How do I clean and care for the Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer?
Keep the knurled air intake at the base of the handle on the Amaya AHD-300 free of lint and loose hair. Once a week, unplug the dryer and brush the intake with a dry, soft toothbrush. A blocked intake makes the motor work harder and the dryer run warmer. Never leave it running on a bed, sofa or near a sink. Let it cool before storing, and loop the cord loosely instead of wrapping it tight.
Can a home stylist or small salon use the Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer?
The Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer works well for a home stylist doing a few clients a day in an estate salon or from home. Its compact head is easy to aim at a client's roots, and the handle buttons let you adjust without stopping. Amaya does not publish a power rating, so a busy salon drying hair all day should test it first. Come to our Kimathi Street store and run it for a few minutes.
Who should buy the Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer, and who should skip it?
Buy the Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer if you style natural hair, braids or wigs at home and want a dryer that avoids harsh heat. It also suits students and gym-goers who want something compact. Skip it if you need published wattage, temperature figures or styling attachments; ask us on WhatsApp about models with confirmed specs. If you only need a basic dryer, the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer at KSh 1,800 costs less.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Drying Approach
- HyperDry series — Amaya's drying approach for this model, built around fast airflow rather than scorching air to remove water from each section.
- Low-temperature rapid drying — the box claim; the aim is quicker drying at a heat that is kinder to natural hair.
- "Refuse to bake" — Amaya's own box wording, signalling a dryer meant to protect hair rather than scorch it.
- High-speed layout — a compact motor sits in the handle, which keeps the head small and the dryer easy to aim.
- Handle buttons — controls sit on the handle under your thumb, so you can change settings mid-dry without shifting grip.
- Published figures — Amaya does not print wattage or temperatures on the box; feel the airflow and warmth in store.
Compatibility and Hair Types
- Natural hair — lower heat helps on wash days, when repeated hot drying can leave coils dry and prone to breakage.
- Braids and locs — the focused round head reaches the roots, where water hides longest after a rinse.
- Weaves and wigs — a gentler setting suits synthetic and human-hair units that can frizz or melt under harsh heat.
- Short hair and beards — quick touch-ups for men after the gym or before a morning meeting in Upper Hill.
- Power supply — confirm the plug on current stock via WhatsApp, and pair it with the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector.
- Humid towns — rapid drying helps in Mombasa and Kisumu, where hair left damp in humid air takes longer to dry naturally.
Build and Design
- Round head with magenta ring — the fuchsia front ring gives the dryer its distinct look and makes it easy to spot on a crowded shelf.
- Gunmetal-grey body — a dark finish that hides scuffs from daily use on a dressing table or in a gym bag.
- Knurled air intake — the textured ring at the base of the handle draws air in; keep it clear of lint.
- Handle-mounted motor — weight sits in your hand rather than at the head, which eases strain during long wash-day sessions.
- Compact profile — fits in a hostel drawer, a travel bag or a small salon station without taking much space.
- Safe use — never run it on a bed or near a sink, and unplug it whenever you step away.

- The dryer — the Amaya AHD-300 Hair Dryer itself is the only item listed for the box.
