Whatever the reason may be, I knew I was going to put Dyson's Supersonic Hair Dryer to the test.
My 28-inch-long, curly-cut hair was dry in 5 minutes.
No matter the reason, I knew I was going to test the Dyson Supersonic Dryer.
4 heat settings
My medium-length bob cuts just barely reach my shoulders. I also have curtain bangs in dire need of being trimmed. Curtain bangs have been my constant companion for the past two years. I don't think I could ever imagine changing my hairstyle. Curtain bangs are a complicated style, so I must make sure they stay in place.
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 attachments and diffuser. My hair looked and felt great after using both attachment tools.
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.
Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer: Worth the $400 price tag
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.
Fast drying No extreme heat. Made for various hair types.
Magnetic attachments are included with the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer. This allows you to adjust your settings quickly and easily.
I mean fast when I say fast. I have thick, curly, 28-inch hair. That's quite a bit of hair. Diffusing my hair took me five minutes. This is a huge time saver in colder weather when I have to dry my hair for longer periods of time. A blowout took me approximately 20 minutes. And I'm no expert. If I had any experience with blowouts, I am certain it would have taken less time.
Dyson says, "The Dyson Supersonic was engineered to protect hair against extreme heat damage. It has fast drying and controlled styling to increase smoothness by 75%, shine by up 132%, and reduce frizz and flyaways up to 61%." All of that is possible because I'm here.
Those are some pretty inflated numbers. Dyson vacuums are well-worth the money, so why not use them for your hair tools as well? The claim that Supersonic can increase shine by 132% was something I wasn't convinced of. It seems subjective. But, I was curious to find out if the claims of decreasing frizz and protecting against heat damage were true.
Fast drying and controlled styling help to increase smoothness and shine by up. 132%. And to reduce frizz, flyaways, and up to 75% by 75%." All that and more, I'm here.
Whatever the reason, I just know that I was eager to test the Dyson Supersonic Dryer.
According to me, Dyson Supersonic has the best dryer for gray hair. Dyson Airwrap comes in second, but it's the Dyson Supersonic that I love.
Nine out of ten, I use the Styling Contolator. I do have curly hair, so I use the diffuser to help define my waves and keep them from frizzing.
It has a V9 motor, which is more powerful than my Dyson vacuum. The motor spins at 110,000 rpm and can propel 13 liters of air to the amplifier every second. Intelligent heat control is also included to monitor airflow temperature and prevent heat damage.
The Dyson hair dryer acts like a standard hair dryer. The Dyson Air Wrap, however, is dryer AND styling tool.
You can control the heat and speed of drying: Provides quick drying and styling, regular drying, gentle drying, and a constant cool stream.
Two editors with different hair textures and lengths came up with a unanimous verdict: The Dyson Supersonic Dryer is worth the effort.
It came with three attachments when I purchased my Dyson Supersonic in 2018. It now comes with five attachments:
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.
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.
I have owned the dryer for 4 years. I have never cleaned its filter. Oops. Dyson recommends that you clean it once a months by wiping down the inner filter and outer cage with a soft cloth.
About 1.2 pounds. While there are hair dryers with a similar weight, Dyson claims this dryer is lighter than the rest.
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 attachments and diffuser. My hair looked and felt great after using both attachment tools.
Heat Shield technology ensures that attachments remain cool to touch. Even during close-up styling.
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.
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.
