For decades Dyson have been known for sucking with their market leading vacuum cleaners. In recent years they have branched out to blowing with fans and supersonic hand driers. Now after many years of research costing £50 million and using 1.6 million meters of human hair comes the Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer.
Dyson claims its hairdryer is different from all the competition as it has a mighty powerful directed airflow and a smart thermostat to prevent scorching hair and getting split ends. The thermostat claims to check the temperature an impressive 20 times a second. However none of this comes cheap as it retails for £299 in the UK.
First impressions when un-boxing are it oozes quality and is a beautiful piece of kit. It comes with 2 nozzles, a diffuser and a mat. The hairdrier is significantly lighter than my existing Parlux compact. All of the attachments are connected by magnets and feel very secure when in use.
This little device packs a big punch as its more powerful than my existing Parlux but outputs half the noise – you could have a conversation over the noise of the Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer. The small framed Dyson is so much easier to use being far more comfortable holding for the 15 minutes it often takes me dry my hair before styling. It took just 6 minutes to dry my thick hair with the Dyson. I was astounded by how quick the Dyson is.
After using my hair did look glossier than usual with a shine on the ends that I usually need to use a straightener to achieve. It was much easier on my hand being lighter and quicker. I was reluctant to believe the hype of this device but for me and my thick hair it lived up to it. Costing almost 4 times the Parlux compact it wasn’t cheap. But it seems like a quality piece of kit that will last and just going on the time saved then over a few years I think it will be a very worthwhile investment. It wasn’t just quicker as my hair felt and looked better than usual and for me that is priceless.
Would love to try this. I blow dry my curly hair straight and it takes ages. Would probably be a lot easier with this. Tad pricey though.
I love blow drying my hair but suffer terribly from damage so this sounds amazing! When the price comes down I may be tempted!
Luxery
I would wash my whole families hair every day, just so i could use this hairdrier 5 times a day.
What a brilliant product.
Love Dyson products and whilst this hairdryer sounds impressive the price tag is way too much for me to consider paying for a hairdryer.
I was so excited about this, I love my Dyson products and have been a huge fan for many years, but as with all the Dyson products, they aren’t exactly cheap! It’s great to read a good review, makes it sound brilliant (I need one! haha), despite the high price!
its expensive but it does look amazing and with 4 kids hairdrying would be so much easier
Find the price of this hairdryer extortionate however I would love to see what kind of results I would get from this as my current hairdryer tends to leave my hair with flyaways and I love how it only took you 6 minutes to dry your super thick hair as mine too is super thick but currently takes me around 25-30 minutes to fully dry my hair it looks so stylish!
My hair is so thick it takes forever to dry. I usually dread the drying part. Would love to try this but with a pricetag like this its well out of reach for me so I will keep my fingers and toes crossed 🙂
looks amazing, sounds amazing too. should be for the price! still until you try it you won’t know if its worth the money
I’ve seen the fan and I just can’t work out how it works. It is so clever. I respect James Dyson for his creations and for making vacuum cleaners cool, but I wish he could do it a bit cheaper!
I have never seen a hair dryer like this before looks quite exciting and I can almost see it being used in a science Fiction film such as Star Trek.
Great review. Cant believe how exoensive this is. Surely not made for normal people with that price. Aimed for the richer market!
It sounds interesting. If it took just 6 minutes to dry your hair, mine should take about 2 minutes. I have fine wavy hair. No comment as to how it works on curly hair and whether it stops the dreaded frizz problem that normal hairdryers cause, but it would need to be reviewed by a curly haired person to know for sure. Of course, the manufacturer would state that it doesn’t cause frizz. Interesting shape too.
Wow looks fabulous but what a price. I’d rather spend it on a vacuum!
I really need a new hair dryer and this one looks fantastic!
After reading the review this sounds just what I need. My hair tends to be dry and like straw but in the review it says it left her hair more glossy and helped prevent split ends. The quietness is a plus too for when I am drying my hair in the mornings and my partner is still in bed trying to sleep. Also the lightness and ease of use (now I’m getting on a bit and have a little bit of arthritis in my fingers). I would love to try one of these but the price tag does put me off to be honest.
I’m a dyson fan (with exception of the washing machine that shredded clothes) it might be good at drying hair but it looks very stylish
This sounds exactly what I need to have good hair days and not bad ones. However tad out of my price range. Thank you for your review, maybe I can add it to my Christmas wish list 🙂
Really interested in this hair dryer but I am just wondering if I can justify the price, I dream of glossy hair and I brought the GHD hair dryer but it is quite heavy and also dries my hair out quite a bit…. I love the sound of this though and wondering if I start saving now…hahah Could I possibl own one by the end of the year 🙂 Great review!
This hairdryer sounds amazing and I love the detailed honest review! I have awful frizzy hair so my hairdryer goes everywhere with me. I normally purchase cheaper hairdryers that do not last long as they cannot cope with the thickness of my hair! Maybe I will have to invest 🙂
Thanks!
I have really thick hair too, so it take me forever to dry. 6mins compared to 15mins sounds AMAZING! plus it’s lighter. As my arm aches so much from drying I have to wait a bit before waving around my arm again haha.
a great review, whats not to love about dyson…however the goodwife now has one wrote down on her birthday list…sadly way too expensive
This hairdryer sounds perfect, I also have long thick curly hair which takes forever to dry, and I’m not the most patient person. If I had one of these I wouldn’t be running to work with half damp hair!
It looks so good and I love the shape, must be quite strange to use at first but I’m sure it’s something I’d get used to!
One of these is definitely on my wishlist!
I love Dyson and would love to try this but I think its quite expensive for a hairdryer.
Sounds fabulous but way out of my price range. Great review, thanks for sharing.
Wow it sounds amazing! I like the fact that it is quiter than most hairdryer, some can be so noisy! It looks like a perfect fit for dainty hands 🙂
I would absolutely love one of these; if only I could afford it! I have EDS and my shoulders and neck are the most affected (currently in a sling!); so any time I can shave off (no pun intended) from having my arms up saves me a huge amount of energy and pain!!
I would love to try the Dyson Hairdryer, it sounds really good! But, unfortunately it is way out of my price range 🙁 Great review though 🙂
I really love Dyson products, I have found them to be really well made and although expensive seem to be value for money.
