Page 5 | To splurge this much on hairdryer?

EmoIsntDead · 2024-07-23T17:07:20+00:00

I really need a new hairdryer and the Dyson is currently available in JL for £280. My hairdresser swears it has the best diffuser he’s ever used and I do have curly hair (although I never wear it curly because it goes so frizzy) Is the Dyson really worth it? It’s just SO much money for a hairdryer, but I would use it almost every day so…?

I don't have any experience of using a Dyson to compare it to but this did replace my old hair dryer and there is an absolute world of difference. It doesn't blow my hair all over the place and also my long hair dries in half the time compared to my old dryer. Also look at the reviews!

Totally worth it. Had mine for 8 years. Not a scratch on it. Diffuser is great.

I got a fake one on Amazon (that is, one that is deliberately made to look like a Dyson) and it's bloody brilliant! £25.

I've used a friend's and I don't rate it at all but I have a good Parlux already . I wonder if people who love the Dyson didn't have great drivers to start with?

I love mine. I have fine hair that gets damaged easily but it's in the best condition it's ever been.

Wickerchaize · 23/07/2024 20:36

I love my Dyson hair dryer: it’s worth it.

Neither was Mr Dyson, he had your money!

But he already had your money, wouldn't have known about it (nor given a shite, assumingly), but surely you would have had to spend unnecessary money on a replacement?
I imagine shock from neighbours at a hoover being launched out of an upstairs window though 😀

MartyFunkhouser · 23/07/2024 20:18

I have long, curly hair and I have a Dyson. Wouldn’t hesitate to get another.

I keep treading on and snapping bits off the diffuser. My advice is don’t tread on it 😬

ItsVeryHyacinthBucket · 23/07/2024 20:17

My hairdresser uses a Dyson and nothing else comes close. Saying that I bought a very good Parlux one nearly 20 years ago that’s still going strong and does the job, so…?

SamW98 · 23/07/2024 20:16

I got the Dyson hairdryer and straighteners on interest free credit and I think they’re worth every penny.

keffie12 · 23/07/2024 20:13

@EmoIsntDead I can't stand the Dyson owner. However, I have to admit I have the hairdryer and it's worth every penny, in my view.

I paid for it over a year. I've had it 6 years, and it's still going strong. Treat yourself if you can afford it

@CantHoldMeDown out of an upstairs window you say.....

Blimey, that must've entertained the neighbours for weeks...

I'm.obsessed with my Dyson hairdryer
I would never ever have bought one myself - could probably afford it but it seemed ridiculous to spend that much on a hairdryer on my disposable income...And how good could it be??
Answer...amazing!
I used my sisters once and was hooked, I was delighted when one appeared in the post for me from her! Now I am an advocate and think it's worth every penny

Oh how lovely your sister is and your relationship 🥰

Dubs on is crap. Fine at first but then does downhill. What I can recommend though is the Dyson Air Wrap... for me the Parllux wins every time.

Bunchymcbunchface · 23/07/2024 19:48

I love mine too

Do you buy the diffuser separately?

No it comes with it

Shouldn't we be boycotting Dyson over the way he has treated his staff recently -

I got a slightly cheaper reconditioned one from the Dyson eBay shop and it's really, really good for my curly hair. The diffuser is fantastic. If you can combine it with an eBay discount offer on electricals or something...
