It’s about time I gave you my Dyson Supersonic hair dryer review. I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and it’s about time I shared my thoughts.
Dyson is constantly surprising us by regenerating their products. The supersonic hairdryer has spent 4 years in the making and costing a whopping £50 million.
There have been 600 prototypes made and tested on over 1,000 miles of human hair.
The aim of the supersonic was to create the fastest, quietest and hair friendly hair dryer in existence. This is really important as a lot of people make common mistakes that are damaging your hair by drying or using excessive heat.
So lets give you my thoughts on it
Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer Review
Hair Dryer Review
I went for the fuchsia pink version, but there are a number of different colours to choose from.
The un-boxing of the hair dryer was itself a whole new experience too. There are a number of seals keeping the box carefully sealed before you even get to the dryer. That’s not a complaint as I felt more assured my hair dryer got to me undamaged.
The sleeve comes off and the attachments are all sitting pretty in a moulded box. The hair dryer doesn’t really look like any hair dryer I have used before
Design & Features of the Dyson Supersonic
I was expecting a lightweight design but it isn’t, it doesn’t weigh any less than my existing hair dryer. However, it is noticeably smaller and would be great to take in hand luggage.
The design of the Supersonic is drastically different from a regular hair dryer as the motor is digital. It is so small it sits in the handle, rather than at the back like a regular hairdryer. The advantage being to this is that you don’t get the dreaded arm ache you get from when drying long hair. This is a massive plus for me as I have long, thick hair and drying often strain my arm where I am holding the dryer for so long.
Using the dryer you will notice the air is faster and a lot more powerful than a regular hairdryer. This aims to dry your hair quickly without using excessive heat.
This is due to the heat-protection sensor which stops the dryer from getting too hot and causing damage to your hair. Pretty clever you must agree.
Another thing to note about the design is that all the attachments are magnetic. This makes it pretty quick and easy to attach any of the attachments.
Control & Use of the Dyson Supersonic
With the weight of the dryer being so well balanced, drying my hair seems a lot less of a chore.
The controls to adjust the speed and heat are on the back of the dryer and there is a small button to adjust each, with 4 settings.
My Verdict
I am exceptionally pleased with the dryer
My hair is a lot less damaged and frazzled from heat since I have been using it. I have also noticed my hair seems to have grown a lot more. I can only assume this is to where it has broken less from the heat
I’ve been taking hair and beauty supplements regularly which helps strengthen my hair as well. I think supplementing the damage I cause with heat styling is a great idea
Hair drying even in the heat wave we had this year has been a breeze in comparison to using my traditional dryer
I do not dread washing my hair in the fear I will be sitting drying it for ages after, which is a huge plus for me as it often feels like such a chore. I am definitely not missing getting achy arm from holding a traditional dryer
The noise of the supersonic dryer does not wake up the whole house. So whether it is early morning or late night, it doesn’t matter as it wont wake them
The only negative I can think of which is quite an important one, is the price tag £299
If you value your time this dryer will save you a considerable amount of it. You will no longer need to pay for Brazilian blow dries. Also, if you have regular trims to manage the broken ends from the heat damage, you wont need these as frequently as you wont get as many. If you have hair extensions this will cut down the drying time dramatically
Buying A Supersonic
Another option is to buy the dryer through a retailer where you get rewarded
For example, if you are a Boots Advantage Card holder you get points for purchases, which in turn you can use to pay for other purchases. If you buy it when there is a bonus points event you will get even more points. Something to think about and see if it fits with your budget
Look to buy one when the black Friday sales start or even look on eBay
This for me is an investment piece, it saves me time and my hair is in much better condition because of it
My Dyson Supersonic hair dryer review and experience means I would recommend it without hesitation

Wow! This hair dryer has a very unique design that I haven’t seen before. Makes me wanna buy one right now. One thing I hate about hairdryers is their annoying noise, and this one here seems to have no noise at all. I will definitely order it for myself. Thank you so much for your insights, you described the features very well.
