Heat Shield technology keeps attachments cool to the touch. Even during close-up styling.
Fast drying No extreme heat. Made for various hair types.
It has a V9 motor, which is more powerful than my Dyson vacuum. The hair dryer 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.
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.
About 1.2 pounds. While there are hair dryers with a similar weight, Dyson claims this dryer is lighter than the rest.

My curtain bangs are in desperate needs of a trim. I've been living with curtain bangs for 2 years now and don't know how I would ever change my haircut. Curtain bangs do require a lot of styling. I have to make sure that they dry completely every day.
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.
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.
Magnetic attachments are also very appealing to me. I have dropped my hairdryer, cracked the diffuser screw and been left without a diffuser attachment. Sometimes the attachment's screw-in is no longer attached because it becomes threadbare. I can recall duct taped one of my attachments onto my old hair dryer. It didn't work. These things will not happen with Dyson magnetic attachments. Attachments for your whole life, y'all.
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.

You may already know that when blow-drying your hair you will need to turn the device off and on to adjust your position, grab a new section or just because your arms feel tired. The Dyson Supersonic can turn back to the same setting as it was when it was turned on. This small feature makes styling your hair so much easier.
Since 2018, I have owned the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer. While I love it, it is not for everyone. Although it prevents heat damage from the hair, the price is prohibitive and may not be the best option for everyone.
Magnetic attachments: Only Dyson Supersonic hair dryers come with magnetic attachments. This allows you to adjust your hair quickly and easily.
The attachments are cool to the touch thanks to Heat Shield technology. Even during close-up styling.
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.

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).
This hair dryer uses a V9 motor which is much stronger than my Dyson vacuum. It spins at up to 110,000 RPM and pumps 13 liters per second of air towards the amplifier. The hair dryer is equipped with intelligent heat control to regulate airflow temperature and protect against heat damage.
Those are many numbers that seem largely fabricated. Dyson vacuums have been worth the cost so why not apply the same to their hair tools? Because it seems subjective to be able to quantify, I was skeptical about the claim that the Supersonic increases shine 132%. I was intrigued to see if the claims regarding decreasing frizz or protecting from heat damage were correct.
Dyson says that their hair dryers are designed to be fast drying and styling at voltages appropriate for the country where they were purchased. Please refer to the Guarantee Section of your user manual for information on proper usage as voltages can vary between countries.
This product is designed to distribute air evenly around curls. You can style your hair more easily with longer prongs.

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer Review: It's worth $400
Although other hair dryers are capable of drying my hair fast, the Dyson is a class apart. My first time using it, I measured my drying time with my phone. The result? 1:40:11. My whole head was dried in less than 2 minutes. Although my hair is very fine, it takes me longer to make a cup if instant coffee. The Dyson made it worth the money. I'm often late but don't mind if I have enough to wash my hair right now. I always have at least two minutes.
They can return their items more easily, get a longer/better warranty, be treated as a loyalty member and will receive future Dyson discounts.

Powerful. It's also very fast.
Dyson claims that they have tested various hair types in their laboratory and created a variety of attachments to style them.
Its design is simple and elegant. It is very sleek for a device with this innovative tech. This is actually lighter than other hair dryers. It is also easier to maneuver around your scalp. The motor at the centre of the device is smaller, and brushes less than typical hair dryers. This makes the device quieter, lighter, and easier to hold. If you consider your daily blow-dry routine an arm workout, this might be a change in your mind. Dyson designed the dryer in homage to their most popular fans. The hole at the center is what makes it so iconic.
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.
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!
