It comes with three attachments, including a diffuser as well as two nozzles. The one for smoothing and the other to concentrate air flow. They are perfect for blowouts and styling bangs. Three additional Dyson attachments were also introduced since the Supersonic release: the Flyaway Attachment to smoothen down flyaways, the Wide Tooth Comb Attachment to stretch curly or coily hair, and the Gentle Air Attachment to control heat and diffuse it to protect delicate hair types.
First, I was impressed by the Dyson's inclusion of everything. My previous hair dryer only came with the dryer. I had to order accessories (diffusers, concentrators, brushes, etc.) separately. These accessories were not included in the original hair dryer, so I had to order them separately.
The Styling Concentrator is what I use nine times out of ten. The diffuser helps me define my hair and keep it from frizzing.
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.
I use the Styling Contolator nine times out ten. But, my hair is naturally wavy so the diffuser helps to define my curls and prevent them from getting frizzy.
It would be an understatement to say that I am impressed. Continue reading to see how amazing the Dyson Supersonic really is.
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.
As you probably know, blow-drying hair is a process that requires you to turn the device on or off.
Since 2018, I've owned the Dyson Supersonic dryer. Although I love it and recommend it to others, it doesn't suit everyone. It protects from heat damage, but it is not cheap and therefore not the best option.
In 2018, my Dyson Supersonic came with three attachments. These attachments are now included with the Dyson Supersonic:
My hair feels frizzy when I use blow dryers. No matter what I do to my hair, it always ends up looking frizzy and crunchy. The dryer completely transformed the way my hair feels when it is dried. I used to hate drying my hair. If I wanted my hair to look great, I would bake it for an extra hour. Now? I love to blow dry my hair, knowing it will look and feel great.
Although I originally purchased the Dyson Supersonic hairdryer to test it on three types of hair, I ended up using it only on my own hair and that of a close friend. While $400 may seem like a high price for a hairdryer, the Dyson was able to diffuse my 28 inch long curly hair in five minutes. It also caused less damage than traditional dryers.
In the recent past, a hair dryer has become a necessity rather than a desire. It could be that hair dryers can cause dry, rough hair and hair to lose their color (1). It could be that gray hair can become brassy or yellowish from heat exposure (2). Perhaps it was because my hair dryers were constantly clogging up.
Dyson won't lie about your hair feeling healthier after using the Supersonic.
I've had this dryer for 4+ years and have never cleaned the filter. Oops. Dyson recommends cleaning it with a soft, dry cloth once a month.
The professional hair dryer costs approximately $50 more and has a heavier duty filter.
The Dyson Supersonic offers three speeds (low to medium high), and four temperature settings including a cold shot.
While I haven't seen any knockoffs, you can try this trick: Let your hair air dry the majority of the way, then heat it up with a hairdryer for the final few minutes. This will give you a sleek, smooth look with no heat exposure.
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.
We've tested different hair types in our labs and created attachments that can style different hair types.
My hair has a combination of 3b, 3c and 3b curls. It was very curly during puberty so I spent most time straightening it.
You can choose a pretty presentation case or stand or, like me, keep it loosely in a drawer in the bathroom.
Dyson isn’t lying when he says that hair feels less damaged after using Supersonic. Dyson claims that the Supersonic reduces hair damage by up to 80%. I am not a professional hairstylist so I cannot confirm these percentages. I know how my hair feels after using a Dyson straightener (not fried).
You don't need to worry about your hand getting too hot while you hold the tool.
Dyson claims that they have tested various hair types in their laboratory and created a variety of attachments to style them.
This is why I spent most of my puberty years tying it up. At the age of 18, I was ready to stop worrying about my hair and learn some tips. Now I know how to care for my hair. I know which products to use and how to style my hair. I also know how to sleep with it (I could probably write a whole book about sleeping with curly locks). And how to keep it healthy. The result? My hair is full of healthy, long curls. Only one thing about my hair I would not be able to live without is the long drying process. This is where the Dyson hair dryer steps in.
Different hair types covered
The Dyson Ultra-Fast Drying Hair Dryer will protect your hair from heat damage. This luxurious, high-powered hair dryer is powerful and efficient. It also saves me time.
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.
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.
I've owned the dryer for 4+years and never cleaned the filter. Oops. Dyson recommends cleaning it every other month. Wipe the outer cage or inner filter with a soft and dry cloth.
The Dyson Supersonic is available in three speeds (low/medium/high) as well as four temperature options, including a cold-shot.
About 1.2 pounds. Dyson claims it weighs in at about 1.2 pounds. There are many hair dryers on market that weigh similar. It doesn't feel heavy or pressurize my wrists because it is balanced on top.
Dyson doesn't lie about Supersonic causing hair to feel less damaged. Dyson's claims about hair being less damaged after using the Supersonic are not confirmed by me as a hairstylist. But I do know how my hair feels when it is fried (with a straightener) and after I dry it with the Dyson hair dryer (not.
It's not quite quiet by any means, but it's certainly quieter than some. Some sources cite it at 75 decibels and others at 79... if you really want to get technical.
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.
