Dyson Supersonic™ Hairdryer: Tried, Tested and Reviewed
In a place like Dubai where our hair is victim to humidity, the sun's rays and excessive heat, this new innovative hair-styling tool is the answer to our problems...? Even at the high price?

It's not available in the Dubai market yet, but one lucky member of our team has an early adopted husband, who treated her to it. So we persuaded her to let us borrow it for an afternoon to do this review, after hearing her wax lyrical about it, noticing how smooth and bouncy her once fluffy hair was and listening to her trying to justify the price!

Rebecca, our Editor, has thick and short, blonde hair. It would normally take her 45 minutes to completely dry her locks, but with the Dyson Supersonic™ it took only 15 minutes!

 

Her hair is coarse and straight, so we used the Dyson styling concentrator attachment to allow her hair to dry straight, as it smooths and styles simultaneously.

"With hair as thick and damaged as mine, it's amazing to find a hairdryer that can live up to the test and dry my locks in such a short space of time! Definitely worth the investment for anyone who struggles to manage their similar hair-type to mine", Rebecca said.

Our Editorial Assistant, Dina, has thin, medium length hair, which can take up to 30 minutes to dry fully. While naturally curly, she rarely lets her hair dry in this style as it's not the easiest to maintain, especially in the Dubai heat. And so she opted to use the diffuser to see if the Dyson Supersonic™ could match her curly locks, and give her hair the curly freedom it's been craving in the desert heat. 

Dina said, "first of all, my hair dried in under 15 minutes without any frizz! A hair dryer that dries my hair without frizz and still manages to lock in my curls, I would have to see it to believe it, and today, for the first time, I am a believer!"

We know what we're all asking for on our birthdays this year!

We tried the Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer

 
Here's why we think it's worth the money... 
 

1. It's super-duper fast
Dubai is a fast-paced country, so what better place to have a hairdryer that suits your time-restricted needs and lifestyle. You'll be looking sleeker than ever after spending less time and less hassle styling your locks. 

2. It's inaudible
Okay, perhaps a -completely- inaudible hairdryer is something that one can only dream of at this point in time, but the Dyson Supersonic™ is significantly quiet in comparison to other conventional hair dryers. Let your baby or husband rest peacefully, as you embark on blow drying your hair with a calm and peaceful mind. 

3. Banish frizzy locks!
This is our favourite part. Living in Dubai, our hair tends to become a little bit more frazzled than others, due to the intensive heat, daily sunshine and high humidity levels. Most of us are left looking like Monica Geller from the TV show, F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

After getting your hands on the Dyson Supersonic™ however, you'll never have to worry about your hair being damaged or frizzy again in the severe Dubai heat! It helps to protect your hair's natural schine while eliminating any frizz, keeping you looking your best under any and all weather circumstances. 

4. There's lots of styling options
The Dyson Supersonic™ aims to style your hair using 3 different magnetic attachments that can curl, straighten and smooth your hair. 

The magnetic component of the attachment allows for the parts to glide into the driver, leaving the air channels to filter through the cool air, allowing for the attachments to work without the risk of over-heating or burning your hands.

The attachments include:

  1. Diffuser: for all of your curly hair needs
  2. Smoothing nozzle: helps to eliminate frizz and keep your locks smooth and shiny
  3. Styling concentrator: to control airflow on your chosen piece of hair and concentrate heat
  4. Rubber mat: to protect your Dyson Supersonic™ while flat on the table, and your table from any heat

5. It's lightweight
The hair dryer has been designed to be perfectly balanced in your hands and is easier on your arms than some bulky traditional dryers. It’s also smaller than a normal dryer as the motor is in the handle so will be perfect for those trips away… once you start using this you’re going to want to take it everywhere with you.

If you want to get your hands on your very own Dyson Supersonic™ hairdryer, unfortunately it's not yet available to purchase in the UAE. However, you can order it online and have it delivered to Dubai for an additional cost of delivery using a courier service like Shop & Ship or Borderlinx.

The retail price in the UK direct from the manufacturer is currently £299.99, which converts to approximately AED 1400. (Top tip don’t get off Amazon or similar sites as we’ve seen it listed at crazy prices… up to 6,000 AED!)
