Since 2018, I have owned the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer. While I love it, it is not for everyone. Although it prevents heat damage from the hair, the price is prohibitive and may not be the best option for everyone.
The Dyson hair dryer has four temperature settings. The Dyson hair dryer can be set to the hottest temperature of 212°F, while the coolest setting is 82°F.
There are four temperature settings for the Dyson hairdryer. The highest setting can reach 212F while the coolest setting can reach 82F.
I purchased the Dyson Supersonic hairdryer initially to try it on three different types of hair.
Magnetic attachments
In 2018, my Dyson Supersonic came with three attachments. These attachments are now included with the Dyson Supersonic:
My only regret with the Dyson is not having bought it sooner. It's an investment but it has made my hair so much easier. The Dyson cuts down on drying time by 30 minutes. It is so time-savings that it is worth the investment. My journey to healthy hair began with avoiding heat damage. The Dyson ensures that my hair is protected from heat damage and dried quickly. It's no longer necessary to compromise my hair's health in order to not have wet hair all day. I love that.
It's not quite quiet by any means, but it's certainly quieter than some. Some sources cite it at 75 decibels and others at 79... if you really want to get technical.
My medium-length bob just touches my shoulders. And I have curtain bangs which are in desperate need for a trim. My curtain bangs have been with me for two years. However, curtain bangs take a lot of styling so I have to ensure they remain in place every day.
My hair feels frizzy when I use blow dryers. No matter what I do to my hair, it always ends up looking frizzy and crunchy. The dryer completely transformed the way my hair feels when it is dried. I used to hate drying my hair. If I wanted my hair to look great, I would bake it for an extra hour. Now? I love to blow dry my hair, knowing it will look and feel great.
Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer Review: It's well worth the $400 price tag
Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer Review: It's worth $400
It was the volume it added to my hair that made this hair dryer so worth it. I have very fine, straight hair. For my hair type, Dyson Supersonic creates big volume. The dryer comes with a round brush, which is great for curtain bangs. One of the concentrators nozzles style my bangs. I dry my hair naturally, without using any attachments. My hair always looks like it's just come off a set.
Dyson isn’t lying about Supersonic’s ability to make hair feel healthier. Dyson claims that Supersonic will reduce hair damage by upto 80%. However, I am not a hairstylist and cannot verify these claims. I do know the feeling of my hair after using a Dyson hair dryer (not deep fried) and when it feels straightened (fried).
About 1.2 pounds. While there are hair dryers with a similar weight, Dyson claims this dryer is lighter than the rest.
We've tested different hair types in our labs and created attachments that can style different hair types.
A hair dryer that is great for drying your hair has become an essential part of modern life. Perhaps it's because a hair dryer can dry out hair, causing hair to become rough and brittle (1). Perhaps it's because heat can cause gray hair to turn brassy (or yellowish). It could be that I got sick of my hair dryers exploding.
Intelligent heat control
Dyson Supersonic hair dryers are designed to protect hair from severe heat damage.
The Dyson hair dryer acts like a standard hair dryer. The Dyson Air Wrap, however, is dryer AND styling tool.
Dyson direct sales have the advantage of being able to return any defective items quickly and with a better warranty. You'll also be considered a loyalty member, which means that you will be eligible for future Dyson discount and deal offers.
In the recent past, a hair dryer has become a necessity rather than a desire. It could be that hair dryers can cause dry, rough hair and hair to lose their color (1). It could be that gray hair can become brassy or yellowish from heat exposure (2). Perhaps it was because my hair dryers were constantly clogging up.
To dry your hair, you should use the diffuser to gather your hair and then press it to your scalp. Dyson has made a series videos that will help you use your hair dryer if you are unsure (as I was).
Heat Shield technology ensures that attachments remain cool to touch. Even during close-up styling.
This was something I wanted to really quantify so I recorded my last blowout.
I wanted to do a rough calculation so I measured my last blowout. I washed my hair and towel dried it for six minutes. After that, I got dressed, lotioned up, and then I blew my hair out. My hair dried in seven minutes using the Dyson hair dryer.
First thing I noticed was the Dyson comes with everything. My previous hair dryer had only the dryer. If I needed accessories (diffusers concentrators, brushes etc.), it came with everything. I had to order them separately which was quite expensive.
I was instantly blown away when the Dyson arrived in my home. It's lightweight and slimmer than the big hair dryers that I used. And it's so easy to navigate. I can't compare the Dyson to any other hair dryers. The heat controls are very precise. And the technology makes sure that I don’t do any damage to my hair, even when the heat is high. I find that this part of my daily routine is more enjoyable with the Dyson than something I dread or avoid altogether.
The Dyson Ultrasonic hair dryer measures and regulates air temperature at 40 times per second. This protects your hair's shiny shine by preventing extreme heat damage.
Different hair types can be accommodated
Different hair types can be styled: We have developed a variety of attachments that are suited for different hair types through research in our hair labs.
The Dyson hair dryer functions like a standard dryer. However, the Dyson Air Wrap dryer is dryer AND a styling device with multiple styling attachments. For example, barrels can be used to curl or wave hair and brushes can be used to smoothen and volumize.
About 1.2 pounds. Although there are many hair dryers that weigh less than this one, Dyson claims that this hair dryer was "engineered to balance". I can feel it. The weight of the hair dryer is on top, so it doesn't weigh down my wrist and puts pressure on my wrist. It's also not heavy at the front.
Dyson says that "Your hair dryer is precisely engineered to speed dry and style at the voltage of where it was purchased." You should follow the guidelines in the guarantee section of the user manual as voltage can differ from country to country.
It came with three attachments when I purchased my Dyson Supersonic in 2018. It now comes with five attachments:
The bottom line: The Dyson Supersonic blew away the competition when it came to drying speed, strongest airflow, and consumer satisfaction in our
extensive testing. If you're in the market for a new hair dryer — and have some savings built up — it's proven to be the best hair dryer you can buy.
For this experiment I washed my hair, toweled it up for exactly six minutes while I lotioned up and got dressed and then blew my hair out.
With the Dyson hair dryer, drying my hair took seven minutes.
Unlike some others, the Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer measures air temperature over 40 times a second, and regulates the heat.
This prevents extreme heat damage, to help protect your hair's shine.
Dyson says it's less damaging to your hair. The dryer allegedly prevents extreme heat damage by measuring the temperature 20 times a second to
ensure that it is consistently at a healthy temperature for your hair.
