What’s the new Dyson hairdryer like in curly hair?

In case you haven’t heard, Dyson have released a hairdryer. It’s been the biggest news in hairdryers since hairdryers were invented.

And it comes with a pretty big price tag so it’s been causing a lot of news.

I was very excited to get my hands on the new Dyson Supersonic hairdryer and I made a full Dyson review video. In the video, I do a full test-drive of the hairdryer and it’s also a tutorial of how I blow dry my hair if you’re interested.

The questions kept coming after that post – you really wanted to know how does the Dyson hairdryer work on curly hair, what’s the Dyson diffuser like and how does it compare to other dryers

Well I finally filmed it so here it is.

And spoiler alert, I really liked it.

Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer review in curly hair – Dyson diffuser test-drive

I followed the same steps as on my curly hair routine video here so there would be an equal comparison. The only difference is that I used the Dyson diffuser instead of my usual diffuser (either Parlux or ghd Air).

Some points to note about the Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer:

• The design of the hairdryer is unsurpassed, but what surprised me was the design of the diffuser. The diffuser appears to be the same but the air distribution is really different.
• So often I feel that hairdryer companies’ focus on power and on heat and the diffuser is often left behind. The Dyson diffuser though is incredibly well designed and it cut my drying time by at least by half or more.
• The diffuser itself is slightly smaller than other hairdryers but I didn’t really notice this to make a big difference in my hair.
• The heat was so good that I actually had to turn it down. The lowest speed was perfect for drying my curls.

I’m still apprehensive of that price tag in comparison to regular professional hairdryers for straight hair. It’s good but I’m not sure that it’s worth the extra money for an occasional use product. However if you blow dry your hair a lot, or if you travel frequently, I think it’s a really amazing dryer.

If you’re looking to buy the Dyson Supersonic, or any expensive styling tool, I recommend testing it out first. Check if your salon has one or order it from an online retailer that allows returns.

Here’s where you can buy a Dyson hairdryer online (and they all accept returns in the original packaging):

• Australia – David Jones
