Two editors with different hair textures and lengths came up with a unanimous verdict: The Dyson Supersonic Dryer is worth the effort.

About 1.2 pounds. Dyson claims it weighs in at about 1.2 pounds. There are many hair dryers on market that weigh similar. It doesn't feel heavy or pressurize my wrists because it is balanced on top.

The Dyson hair dryer is a great choice. It takes half the time and leaves my hair feeling dry.

When I use the term fast, it means fast. My 28-inch-long curly hair is thick and thick. This is a lot hair. Diffusing my hair took me five minutes. It's a lifesaver when the weather is colder, and I don't have the time to let my hair dry naturally for half of the day. The entire process took me around 20 minutes, and I am no expert. It would've taken me about 20 minutes if I was any good at blowouts.

Dyson Supersonic hair dryers are designed to protect hair from severe heat damage.

Magnetic attachments allow you to quickly adjust the Dyson Supersonic hairdryer.

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.

The design is very simple. The Dyson Supersonic is a sleek, modern hair dryer. You might expect something heavy, clunky and difficult to use for longer than a few minutes. This dryer is lighter than most other hair dryers and easier to use around your head. The motor at its center is smaller and more efficient than traditional hair dryers. This makes it easier to use and much quieter. This might change the way you view your hair. Dyson designed this dryer in tribute to their bestselling customers, hence the iconic hole at its center.

I wash my hair at least twice a week. Sometimes, I'll let it air dry my hair but most of the times I'll blow it out. My hair is long, thick, curly and wavy. This allows me to dry it straight and diffuse it for fun waves.

The Dyson hair dryer works like a regular hair dryer, while the Dyson Air Wrap can be used as a styling tool. It has multiple attachments such as barrels for curling or waving hair and brushes to smoothen and volumize.

My fine, straight hair almost never looks alive because it is so thin. My hair feels flat against my head without much effort, which makes it appear even thinner than what it really is. My hair is still my natural color, and I haven't bleached it in over a whole year. So, my hair is essentially my natural color with some dimension from past highlights. I do have some problems, however, because my hair is oily even without color. I can only go one day without washing my hair and then my hair looks terrible the second day. I'm now washing my hair more than I've ever done before, and doing all that I can to keep my ends moisturized.

The magnetic attachments are my favorite. I have had the unfortunate experience of dropping my hairdryer and cracking the diffuser screw. Sometimes, the screw-in attachment part becomes too threadbare to attach. I remember duct-taping an attachment to my old hair dryer. This didn't work. These things are impossible with Dyson's magnetic attachments. Attachments for life!

There hasn't been a knockoff. However, you can let your hair air-dry for most of the process and then dry it with a dryer for the last few moments. This will give your hair a silky smooth finish without any heat exposure.

My only regret with the Dyson is not having bought it sooner.

The Dyson Supersonic's cable length is 9 feet. While the professional hair dryer's cord length is 11 feet, it has a length of 9 feet.

Although I originally purchased the Dyson Supersonic hairdryer to test it on three types of hair, I ended up using it only on my own hair and that of a close friend. While $400 may seem like a high price for a hairdryer, the Dyson was able to diffuse my 28 inch long curly hair in five minutes. It also caused less damage than traditional dryers.

My fine, straight, thin hair doesn't look very healthy. My hair doesn't move much and is too flat against the head, making it look thinner than it actually does. My hair has not been bleached in over one year. My hair is my natural color. I have added some dimension to the ends due to past highlighting. But my hair is still oily, even though I don't have any color. I can wash my hair for one day, and it looks awful the next day. I'm washing my locks more than ever, and I'm trying to maintain healthy ends.

Protect shine with intelligent heat control. It prevents extreme heat damages by measuring the air temperature more frequently than 40 times per minute.

Fastest drying+: Combining the small and powerful Dyson digital motor V9 with Air Multiplier technology, a high-velocity controlled air jet is produced for precision styling and drying.

My only regret with the Dyson is not having bought it sooner.

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.

My thin, straight hair is almost always lifeless. My hair looks thinner than it is because it sticks flat against me without any movement. My hair hasn’t been bleached for over a decade. So my hair is almost completely my natural color, plus some dimension from past highlighting. However, I have problems with my hair. Without any color, it is extremely oily. My hair can look terrible after just one wash. I am now washing my hair more often than I have ever done, and I am doing my best to keep my hair healthy and moisturized.

Since 2018, I've owned the Dyson Supersonic dryer. Although I love it and recommend it to others, it doesn't suit everyone. It protects from heat damage, but it is not cheap and therefore not the best option.

I washed and towel dried my hair for this experiment. I then got dressed, got ready and blew my locks out. I dried my hair with the Dyson hair dryer in seven minutes.

Since 2018, the Dyson Supersonic has been my hair dryer. It's a great product that I love, but I don't think it's right for everyone. Although it protects against heat damage, the high price makes it not an affordable option.

The attachments are magnetic so you can easily slip them on and off while you hold it.

The volume it gave my hair was what made it worth the price. As I mentioned, my hair is straight and thin.

My hair feels fried after I use blow dryers. No matter what, my hair feels frizzy and my ends become crunchy.

However, I have not seen any knockoffs. A workaround is to let your hair air dry for most of the time and then use a hair dryer for the final few minutes. This will give your hair a smooth, shiny look without any heat exposure.

Powerful. And it happens quickly.
