The next thing I knew I was a Dyson fan. The Dyson blow dryer is faster than other hair dryers. When I first used it, I recorded the drying time on my smartphone. The result? 1:40:11. It took me less than two minutes to dry my entire head. My hair is fine and short, but I find it takes longer to make instant coffee. This alone made me decide that the Dyson was worth it. Although I often run late, I don't worry about whether I have enough time to dry my hair now. I have always got two minutes.

Heat Shield technology makes attachments feel cool to the skin. Even during close-up styling.

No matter the reason, I knew I was going to test the Dyson Supersonic Dryer.

They can dry hair quickly and provide controlled styling. The dryer improves smoothness by 75%, shines by upto 132%, and reduces frizz by up to 61%

A resounding yes, yes, yes. Although I didn't think a $400 chunk of plastic would hold such a stronghold on me, I don’t care. Since getting my Dyson hair dryer, my old dryers were given to my mom and other friends. My hair looks great, and I am grateful for the Dyson.

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer Review: It's worth $400

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.

My opinion is that the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer for gray hair is the best. Dyson Airwrap is my only rival.

You can either choose a cute display case or a stand for your items, or just be like me and store it in a bathroom drawer.

Five attachment tools come with the Dyson hairdryer. Each one is designed to be used for specific styling purposes. Ideally, you can style any hair type with the included attachments and this Dyson hair dryer.

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...

My hair is usually washed twice a week. I sometimes let my hair air dry but I prefer to 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.

After extensive testing, two different types of hair were used to give a verdict on the Dyson Supersonic Dryer.

I usually wash my hair twice per week. Sometimes I let my hair air dry, but I prefer to blow it out. My hair is long, thick, and wavy. I can dry it straighten it or give it a fun curl.

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.

Magnetic attachments are a great option. I've had to drop my hairdryer several times and break the diffuser part. Sometimes, the threaded part of an attachment can become loose and not attach. I recall specifically ducttaping one of the attachments to my old dryer. That didn't work. With the Dyson magnet attachments, these things won't be possible. Attachments for all of life!

My curly, 28-inch-long hair was dried in five minutes.

The Dyson Supersonic offers three speeds (low to medium high), and four temperature settings including a cold shot.

The Dyson Supersonic can run a 9-foot cable, while the professional hair dryer can go up to 11 feet. The professional hair dryer is also equipped with a heavier duty filter for about $50 more.

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.

Different hair types are possible

Dyson claims that they've tested many hair types in their lab, and designed a range to style various types of hair.

Do you want to know if Dyson hair dryers are worth it for me? But that's another question.

Is a hair dryer that costs more than $400 worth it? I've owned the Dyson Supersonic dryer since 2018, and I love it. However, I don't think it's right for everyone. You want to know my honest opinion? Keep reading...

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.

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

Quick drying No extreme heat. You can use it for different types of hair.

You can make a presentation case with a stand or choose to keep yours in a small drawer in your bathroom.
