About four years ago I got to spend a glorious week with a Dyson Supersonic hair dryer. I loved my 7 days with what was at the time billed as one of the most advanced (and expensive) hair dryers ever made. Ever since I’ve been wondering about the long term; was the Dyson test a fad and I was just giddy with anticipation? Or is this hair dryer really something I should have just bought for myself back then and never looked back.
I recently had the opportunity to spend some more quality time with the Dyson Supersonic so I could revisit that initial experience, and see if I feel the same way after being able to use it more often and more regularly.
For those who may be unfamiliar, Dyson, makers of cyclonic bagless vacuums and bladeless fans and heaters announced its new hair dryer probably about 4-5 years ago now and it almost instantly achieved cult status. The Supersonic hair dryer features similar technology to its other products, but refined and on a much smaller scale.
The hair dryer looks completely different from traditional dryers. For starters it’s shaped like a cylinder and is open in the middle. It’s flat on both ends so it resembles a tube. That’s because the motor is not in the head of the dryer like traditional models, in Dyson’s case it’s in the handle.
Dyson Supersonic: What’s in the box
I received one of Dyson’s special gift sets, which arrives in a beautiful leather box with a plush interior. The box is a beautiful place to store your Supersonic when it’s not in use and looks luxe on the bathroom shelf (or you could use it to store makeup too!)
The dryer comes with a long, heavy duty cord (that’s 2.7m) and it does have a large and boxy electrical unit near the plug. There’s probably more than enough cord for most home users, and even for a salon. Indeed, Dyson describes this cord as “salon length”.
There’s a diffuser cone for managing curly hair, two styling nozzles that attach with magnets (very clever!), a rubber mat, and a string loop for hanging.
Dyson Supersonic Features
The Dyson dryer has some smart features that make you wonder why no one thought of them before the Dyson engineering team did.
Magnets
For starters, the nozzle attachments snap on with strong magnets, making attaching and detaching them ultra easy.
Computer guts
The dryer contains a computer microprocessor, which Dyson says is constantly measuring temperature, so it’s able to hold its heat settings more accurately, longer. Dyson says the ability to do that helps protect your hair’s natural shine.
Improved weight & balance
Dyson chose to place the motor for the dryer into the handle, which results in a better balance for the device. No longer will your blow dryer feel heavy after lengthy drying sessions (plus this dryer aims to cut drying time anyhow). With the bulk of the weight in the handle, it feels less heavy in your hands.
Ionic technology
Plenty of hair dryers today come with ‘ionic’ technology which is said to reduce frizz and static, and Dyson’s Supersonic does too. Negative ions are emitted from this dryer which should make things easier on your hair. I’ll report back…
Heat and airflow Settings
The Supersonic has 4 heat settings; 100°C, said to be for fast drying and styling, 80°C which Dyson labels ‘regular drying,’ 60°C for gentle drying, and a 28°C ‘constant cold’ setting for cooling, smoothing and setting your style.
Similarly, speed of the airflow is adjustable to three different levels; there’s ultra high for fast drying, regular and low.
How Dyson Supersonicc hair dryer works
The Supersonic dryer has 1600 watts of power. While that sounds like a lot, it’s actually quite common in professional or even drug store hair dryers.
Testing & My Review - Dyson Supersonic
I usually only dry my hair two or three times per week, mainly to try to keep it healthy, but also out of laziness; I feel like it takes up time needlessly.
With the Dyson Supersonic, I noticed right away that my drying time is shortened significantly, a huge plus. The other thing that’s immediately apparent is how soft my hair feels after drying. Like silk. My hair is easily as silky as it’s ever felt.
I decided to time my dry time with both the Dyson and my old Conair.
So, would I buy this hair dryer for myself? Oh, man, I really want to… because it made my hair feel great. At $500CAD it is definitely an investment.
Bottom line; if you can afford this dryer, if you dry your hair daily, if you’ve got lots of hair, or your lifestyle is such that a few minutes are worth getting back, you’ll love it!
The Dyson Supersonic sells for $499 CAD on Dyson’s website . It’s $399 USD on Amazon Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer (Iron/Fuchsia)
