You may be familiar with the fact that you need to switch on and off your Dyson Supersonic when you blow dry your hair.

You may be familiar with the fact that you need to switch on and off your Dyson Supersonic when you blow dry your hair.

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

The Dyson hair dryer offers four temperature settings. The Dyson hair dryer's hottest setting is 212°F. The coolest setting is 82°F.

Your hand won't get too hot when holding the tool.

The Dyson Supersonic hair dryer measures the air temperature more than 40 times per second and regulates heat. This helps protect your hair's beauty and prevents heat damage.

It's not very quiet but I believe it's probably a little quieter than many. Sources cite it as 75 decibels. Others say 79.

Is it worth spending $400+ on a hair dryer? Since 2018, I have owned the Dyson Supersonic hairdryer. While I love it, it isn't for everyone. Want to read my honest review? Continue reading...

Dyson claims the Supersonic has a lower percentage of hair damage than it actually claims. However, I can tell you what my hair feels like after using a Dyson dryer (not fried) or when I straighten it (fried).

You don't need to worry about your hand getting too hot while you hold the tool.

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.

When I finally bought my Dyson, it was an instant swoon (LOL). It's lightweight and sleek, unlike the bulky hair dryers I used, and it's easy to use. I have never seen a hair dryer like the Dyson. The heat controls of the Dyson are some of the most precise and effective I've seen. This technology also ensures that my hair is not damaged by heat too high. This part of my hair care routine is something I look forward to with the Dyson.

However, I ended using it only for two hair types: my own and one of my close friends. Although it is expensive at $400, the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer can be used to dry my curly, 28-inch hair in five minute intervals and causes less damage than a traditional dryer.

It came with three attachments when I purchased my Dyson Supersonic in 2018. It now comes with five attachments:

The Styling Concentrator works nine out of 10 times. I do have long, curly hair and appreciate the diffuser because it helps shape my waves and keeps them from breaking.

Dyson won't lie about your hair feeling healthier after using the Supersonic.

I used the Dyson Supersonic to wash Amanda's curly 3B hair and my 2C hair. We used only the diffuser to style her hair. But I used all of my attachment settings for myself except the wide tooth comb because it isn't made for my hair. Sorry, I forgot to take photos after using both the concentrated styler attachments and the diffuser. I was able to achieve a great hairstyle with both the diffuser and concentrated styler attachments.

I was hooked. Dyson dryers dry hair much faster than others. The first time it was used, I used my phone's timer to record the time. The result? 1:40:11. It took me less that two minutes to dry the whole head. It takes longer to dry my hair than it does to make instant coffee. This alone was enough to make the Dyson worth my money. I am usually late, but I don’t worry if there is enough time to do my hair. I always have two minutes.

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

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!

Intelligent heat control

The Dyson hairdryer has four temperature settings. The hottest setting is at 212degF, while the coolest setting goes to 82degF.

My Dyson Hair Dryer Supersonic Review

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

This dryer has been in my family for four years, and I have never cleaned it. Oops. Dyson suggests cleaning it once per month with a soft, dry towel.

My hair feels dry when I use blow dryers. My hair always looks frizzy and crunchy no matter what I do. This dryer has completely changed the way my hair feels after it's been dried. I used to hate blow drying my hair. I would bake my hair for longer periods of time to get it dry. Now? Because my hair will always look and feel healthy, I enjoy blow drying it.

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

It is 35% more efficient than other hair dryers, if I could put a number to it.

The Dyson Supersonic comes with three speeds (low-medium, high-speed) and four temperature settings. This includes a cold shot. The attachments include a diffuser, two nozzles for smoothing and one to concentrate air flow. This is great for styling bangs and blowouts. Since the Supersonic's release, Dyson has also released three other attachments: the Flyaway Attachment (for smoothing out flyaways), Wide Tooth Comb Attachment for curling curly hair and the Gentle Air Attachment (for controlling heat and diffusing it to protect fine hair types).
