dyson hair dryer is it worth the money?

[historygeek12]

Dh wants to buy me a dyson hairdryer for my birthday but i'm not sure if i can justify the price !! has anyone got one and are they worth the price ?

Can anyone give a view on how it compares to a parlux? I have one of those and really like it. I just wonder whether a good hairdryer = a good hairdryer or whether the dyson delivers something even better…..

Watch series 2 episode 3 of BBC1's Shop well for less on IPlayer. They had 5 hairdressers testing different hairdryer out including the Dyson to see which one they preferred. Really good programme.

Sounds good chocolate. I shall look into it

I have a Parlux compact 385. Great dryer but the Dyson is more powerful and seems better for my hair. Quieter and lighter too, and I now never use straighteners as well.

I preferred it over my previous parlux, because it's lighter and faster. At the end of the day, it just dries hair and didn't do anything miraculous with mine.

I like mine. It dries my hair faster, and directs the air better so I can style it properly. It looks better, quicker.

I still don't think it's worth £300, but then I never rated my Parlux either.

I bought one and did a review of your interested.

Epic typing fail - if you are interested - is what I meant!

Apparently the technology dries your hair quicker but at temp that never damages your hair.

Yes - it has a micro processor that constantly monitors the heat so it doesn't cause damage.

I've noticed my hair is in much better condition since using it.

No. It's just hot air. Don't get fooled by a marketing trick.

The Dyson has really good online reviews. I'm so tempted to get it because of the reduction in drying time and better for your hair.

Do you think the price will drop?

I want one! Have the ghd and don't rate that much

The Guardian review was not great. I saw a demo when I was in Bangkok as most Thai women have straight silky hair without any frizz that they would never need one.

My DSIS has one she says it's good but not worth the money at all.

They tested them on Shop Well for Less and the Dyson hairdryer came out on top.

Ohh it's triple points in Boots this weekend actually!! So you'd get £35.88 worth of points...not too shabby!

It's amazing!

My hair is in much better condition since having it and it takes next to no time

I'd spend what felt like hours before, my hair is now dry in less than five minutes! Plus I can just aim it in the direction of a small child and their hair is dried in no time at all too :)

I can't believe it's worth it.

I don't doubt it's a good hairdryer, and it looks cool, but that's a ridiculous price.

My mother surprised me with one of these as a gift, and I absolutely love it. Super-fast, quiet, and not unwieldy to use.

QVC will be selling this at the end of April and it may even be the 'Today's Special Value' at a very competitive price, plus you will be able to test it out and return it if you don't like it!

Ooooh amazing this has totally convinced me to splurge!

For some people (eg the short haired five minute dry pp) it would be utterly pointless and a total waste of money.

If you're one of the band with long, thick, frizzy/difficult hair, it is totally worth it if you like a blow dried look. End of. I LOVE mine.
