What the gurus are saying

This dryer earns near-universal praise for drying hair fast while keeping damage minimal. Gurus consistently highlight how it reduces frizz, adds shine, and leaves hair feeling softer and healthier than other dryers, even with daily use. The intelligent heat control and cool-shot feature let people dial in the exact airflow and temperature they need, and many mention the lightweight design and durable magnetic attachments as genuine conveniences. The main trade-off is price, though several gurus note it saves time in the morning and lasts years, which many feel justifies the cost.

"I used to dry my hair in 40 minutes to an hour with what I thought was a salon grade hair dryer and now it takes me 5 to 10 minutes. My go-to hair dryer is the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer. It's fast drying with intelligent heat control to prevent damage. You can control the levels of heat and the levels at which the air comes out and it has a cold shot. It literally is the best hair dryer in my opinion. I know it's expensive but it has saved me so much time."
✓Yay
"The Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer is by far the best hair dryer I've ever used. It is absolutely incredible and will last forever. Every time I use another hair dryer my hair feels very brittle, dry, and unhealthy, but every time I use the Dyson, my hair feels really amazing and soft and gorgeous. It's one of my favorite products ever."

"It's a Dyson, I've never used that before. I actually think I kind of like it."
✓Yay
"I absolutely love my Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer. I love it because I've been through so much with this. Maximum wind minimum heat, which means it maximizes the drying power but minimizes the damage. I've never found a dryer lighter, more effective, more powerful than this. When you go to the hairdresser and they're drying your scalp and you think that's got a bit too close, that's burning my scalp, but imagine what that's doing to your hair."
✓Yay
"I have the Dyson. You don't need the Dyson, but I use it on the diffuser setting and I also have a cool button that I can use. So I dry it upside down after my skincare is done, [...] or I'll just leave my cap on and let it air dry. [...] On those days when I'm in a bit of a rush, I'll go ahead and diffuse my hair out on cool, so then when I'm all done I flip it up, it's got some bounce, it's got some curl."

"I use the Dyson hair dryer. It has a cool button with a very little bit of warmth with mostly cool, and I diffuse my hair upside down to give it lots of body. It doesn't take that long because I've given it quite a bit of time to dry on top of my head."

"The Dyson Supersonic has become my new best friend. It's very protective and kind to the hair. It uses light and air as opposed to heat and air, so it's just far better on the locks. It's very quick and it's very simple. This whole process probably takes two and a half minutes."
✓Yay
"I blow my hair out with my Dyson and today I'm trying a new hair curling device straightener from launch it blows cool air out of the back side and has heated plates so it's supposed to keep your waves and curls in longer."
✓Yay
"This has been a total game changer for me and something that I really love and look forward to using in my own beauty routine. [...] One of my favorite things about this Dyson hair dryer are the attachments, which are so durable and so well made. The attachment I use most is magnetic and easy to adjust and twist when it's on there, and then easy to take off."
✓Yay
"The reason I recommend the Dyson hair dryer is because it is less harsh on your hair and it does less damage. It's not just about how your hair looks because you might be able to get your hair to look the same way with any styling tool, it's more about what does your hair feel like, what does it look like under a microscope, what's happening on the individual strand level, and is your hair remaining healthy."
