Is a hair dryer costing $400+ worth it? I've been using the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer for a year now. I love it. But, I can't recommend it to everyone. Read my honest review. Continue reading...

As you probably know, blow-drying hair is a process that requires you to turn the device on or off.

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.

You can control the heat and speed of drying: Provides quick drying, styling, regular drying, gentle drying, and constant cool flow.

When I say fast, that is exactly what I mean. I have 28-inch long, thick, curly hair. That's a lot. Diffusing my hair took me five minutes. This is an amazing tool when it is colder and I don’t want my hair to air dry for half the days. A blowout took me just 20 minutes. I am sure it would have been quicker if I was more skilled at blowouts.

Intelligent heat control

Five attachment tools can be used with the Dyson Hair Dryer. Each tool is made for specific styling.

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!

This is the future hair dryer. Dyson Supersonic promises a smoother and more shiny hair. They also claim to reduce frizz and cut down on drying time. Dyson V9 uses their Air Multiplier tech, which creates lots of air at controlled rates to dry your hair quicker. The Dyson dryer monitors the heat coming off the dryer 40 times per minute to control the heat and avoid any damage. Your hair will be shinier and smoother with less damage--both when you use the tool and over the years. If you are worried about frizz, the dryer uses negative ions to reduce static. This will keep your hair smooth and shiny all day.

I love magnetic attachments. In the past I have lost my hairdryer and broken the diffuser screw.

Dyson claims that they have tested various hair types in their laboratory and created a variety of attachments to style them.

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.

A great hair dryer is something that has become a requirement in recent years. It may be because hair dryers can make hair dry and rough. You might be experiencing brassy hair (or yellowish) due to heat exposure (2). Maybe it's my disgust at all the hair dryers that ruined my hair.

To say that I'm impressed is an understatement. Keep reading to learn more about the Dyson Supersonic.

The professional hairdryer costs $50 more, but has a more robust filter.

A great hair dryer is something that has become a requirement in recent years. It may be because hair dryers can make hair dry and rough. You might be experiencing brassy hair (or yellowish) due to heat exposure (2). Maybe it's my disgust at all the hair dryers that ruined my hair.

A resounding yes, yes, yes. I had no idea that a $400 lump of plastic would have such a grip on me. However, it does. I have given away all my other dryers, including the Dyson hair dryer, to my mom (and friends) since I received it. My hair has never looked better. Good health, no bleach and lots of Olaplex are the reasons my hair looks so good.

What I love about the Dyson hair dryer over others is that it takes about half the time to dry my hair and doesn't leave behind that burnt hair smell.

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.

Dyson will offer you a number of benefits, including a longer warranty and a more flexible return policy.

The magnetic attachments are my favorite. I have had the unfortunate experience of dropping my hairdryer and cracking the diffuser screw.

My friend Amanda has curly 3B hair. I used it on her hair. The diffuser was used on Amanda's hair. I used all attachment settings except for the wide-tooth, which isn’t suitable for my hair. Please forgive me for not taking photos after I used the concentrated styler and diffuser attachments. My hair looked and felt great after using both attachment tools.

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.

Whatever the reason may be, I knew I was going to put Dyson's Supersonic Hair Dryer to the test.

The Dyson hair dryer stands out from the rest because it drys my hair in half the time.

My hair is usually washed twice a week. Sometimes, I let my hair air dry but mostly I blow it out. My hair is thick, long and curly so I can dry it straight. Or I can diffuse it to create a fun wave.

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.

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 was blown away when I bought the Dyson.

This is because you might need to reposition your head or grab a new section. Or simply because you are tired. The Dyson Supersonic will return to the original setting it was on when it was turned off. This is a small, easy feature that will make styling your hair easier.

The Styling Concentrator is what I use nine times out of ten. The diffuser helps me define my hair and keep it from frizzing.

You might be asking yourself if Dyson's hair dryer is worth the investment. That's a completely different question. Yes, I am obsessed with it and will never use any other. It is my bed every night. I take it everywhere I go. The Dyson Supersonic and I are like 2gether plus 4ever = 6cess

If heat is used, color can fade (2). Dysons suggests that the Gentle Air attachment could prevent this by maintaining lower temperatures.
