I went a stylist that was on his third Dyson dryer...the first two stopped working shortly after he received them. He always did a great job blow-drying my hair until he used the Dyson dryer. It was the worst blowout ever...dry, frizzy, awful. I am a licensed stylist too and use a Sedu Revolution 400i Ionic dryer and love it. I have lots fine, curly hair and this dryer gives me quick smooth blowouts in a fraction of the time other dryers do. I love the short nozzle and it's lightweight...not inexpensive but not $400.
I bought a Dyson dryer about a year ago. It was pretty tough to spend that much, but so glad I did! The cord is long and the dryer is very light weight, which is super important to me. I have a lot of very heavy hair, so normal/daily blow-outs take forever.... this dryer has cut the time substantially! I love it and expect to have it indefinitely.
I came across to your chanel one week back when i was searching for a blowout tutorial and immediately fell in love with your kind personality. Its kinda sad that 99% of the big beauty gurus on utube doesnot even feel near to as natural and genuine as you are. The warmth of your smile feels so close to the heart. I pray to god a long healthy prosperous life and career for you.
As a professional hairstylist I got the dyson a few months ago, and I LOVE it... I have tried various hairdryers over the last 20 years, and I have a theory about why some people don’t like the dyson.... The dyson is a tool!! So you need a little knowledge about what happens in the hair while blow drying is kinda essential to getting good results... I’ve heard some people mention the ‘dry frizzy ends’ but I’ve had no such problems with it on my own fine naturally blondbut dyed dark and then ombre light ends... And I havent had problems like that on clients hair either... As you mentioned at the end of the video there needs to be considered about speed, heat and nozzle while using it.... For roughdrying my fine hair I use the ‘big’ concentrator nozzle, speed two and heat one.... for style drying I use the thin nozzle, and slow it down to one for both speed and heat.... On most of my ( Danish) clients I use it on one for heat and speed... only if I’m working with a thicker or very curly hair I crank it up a bit, but only either heat or speed, never both, and I NEVER use the third setting on hair, its great to have the option, but it’s just not good for the hair ;)
Oh and by the way, we don’t have that box on the cord here in Denmark - so I think it’s function is some sort of power conversion to make it work on the American powergrid...
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Dyson. I have had a gazillion blow dryers over the years. I have thin fine hair but a lot of it. The Dyson rough dries my long hair in 4 minutes! Without burning it! It’s so lightweight with the weight balanced in the handle instead of the head, that if I want to take the time to round brush it, my arm does not get fatigued. I’ve never had the dry ends you describe but it sounds like you could change the speed on it to prevent your hair from whipping around as you describe. I honestly think it’s a game changer for dryers. I’ve suggested it to so many friends. No one has been disappointed. I can’t wait to see your review on the Dyson Airwrap ( when you get it!)
With the dyson dryer, Using the small smoothing nozzle that it comes with makes a massive difference. I use it on myself and my clients and they all comment on how smooth and shiny their hair is :) the UK version also doesn’t have that power pack on the cord. I also love that I don’t need to use the dyson on a hot setting to get a quick blow dry, especially while doing a clients hair :)
I LOVE my Dyson. Best beauty gadget I have ever used. Tiny bit of a learning curve not to move the dryer like a normal dryer but you have to let it sit and move the hair to it. My hair is fine and short and I think it leaves a great finish and makes the time shorter too.
I bought the Rusk Speed Freak based on your recommendation a few years back. It has been great! Probably 3 years old, maybe more and still works great. I bought it on Amazon for about $60 if memory serves me. I have thick, collar length, color treated hair that I mostly rough dry and then smooth with a Chi iron. Works for me. Thanx for all your tutorials and reviews!
I just got my Dyson (I got it free on points though) and I love it. I really feel it dries my hair faster and it is light (compared the my old one I just threw out). I've got thick hair so this one is a winner in my book!
Thank you for your HONEST review. Sometimes I think the Dyson company spent more money on youtubers advertising their hairdryer than on developing a good product. I had a horrible experience with the Dyson. I used the dryer for little over a year and my hair was dry, frizzy and I had such a massive fall out I really lost 1\3 of my hair. It didn't occur to me it could be from the hairdryer. Before Dyson my hair was healthy, long and thick, and I never experienced any hairproblems. Tried everything to stop hair loss, but no success. Until I changed the hairdryer. The fall out literally stopped the first time I quid using Dyson. I know the Dyson is really expensive, and people are reluctant to say they are not impressed, or maybe they can not believe that 400 dollar hairdryer will be anything but perfect, but it really was less than average for me. Unfortunately, Dyson's great design of the product cannot compensate for other things a good hairdryer needs to have. Especially for that price.
I have t3 and dyson. For me dyson wins. Yes it is expensive. But if you know which nozzle to use for what you want it works great. I have noticed less hair fallout in my brushes since using it. I will say I had wanted to dryer for some time but couldn't bring myself to spend that much on a dryer however my hubby gifted it to me for Christmas so it does make a great gift!
I get it that spending big bucks on a hair dryer is kinda extreme. However, being a Hairdresser it goes with the saying you get what you pay for. However again I can not spent 400 dollars on a Blowdryer. I agree with you Kate I thought 200 dollars was alot of money but i took the plunge and bought the T3 Featherweight Luxe 2 and I love it. It drys my Hair so much faster, smoother, healthier. I will not go back to a 30 dollar Hairdryer if I can help it. The health of my Hair is more important.
Yay! I love these comparison videos. I agree a flat iron one would be great. I would also vote for a 'travel tools' one since there are a lot of mini versions (some that are a duo curling/flat iron etc) - does price matter, can it go overseas etc.
Thank you for your video and your thoughts and feelings. I love getting opinions from people who use tools and products who were using those kinda of things for years before hand. Your hair is gorgeous too!
I got the dyson as a bday gift. It gives me smooth, shiny, frizz free hair. You have to use the nozzle! You can’t just use it without the smoothing nozzle or it will blow your hair all different directions.
I bought the Dyson as well. When I used it I didn’t feel the home and away by it and agree it was not a game changer on my hair. What I liked about it was the technology that it wasn’t damaging my hair. Luckily, I found a less expensive dupe, the shark hyper air. It’s half the price, and does what I love about the Dyson without making me feel so guilty for investing in what could have been my son’s first car.
I purchased the Speed Freak from Ulta a few years back...I feel like it is pretty heavy and the hot setting is way too hot for me🔥definitely used the medium setting a lot more. I have a lot of thick, coarse, curly hair so it made my arms pretty tired..I wish it came with a diffuser too. I will say, it definitely dries my hair quick though! Thank you for this video! I'm in the market for a new one...my mom just got whatever T3 combo is at a Costco right now for around $100-$150 bucks...
I tried the T3 Cura and didn't like it. I tend to get some frizz but it was TOO smoothing. If you are prone to having an oily scalp be careful of ionized hair dryers. Every one I've used makes my hair super greasy and still feeling wet even after drying for a long time.
I bought the speed freak off of your recommendation! It is a great mid-range product. I only blow dry occasionally, so I can't justify buying a high end blow dryer.
Straighteners please. I’m looking to purchase a new one because I’ve had my current one for a long time and it’s starting to not work as well. Thank you for all the info on hair dryers.
Hi Kate, precious video - thank you. I was very curious about the dyson, way too expensive for this result. And yes: I also hate short cords! Big hugs from Germany!
Hello I just saw your video and you mentioned the Ariel speed Freak. I just purchased a used one for $30 bucks. Can’t wait to try it out. Based off of you mentioning it I pulled the trigger :-). I’m a barber so it should be useful
I'd be drying my hair for 3 hours without the hot setting. Careful with extension cords. I used a heavy duty one and it still sparked! Thank goodness there was no fire.
Melanie B I ve watched millions of reviews and tutorials before buying mine and believe me none of it saved me from the shock. It’s so pricey for the quality and if u have naturally frizzy and dull hair then don’t bother it was nothing near the results you get with a traditional flat iron or curling iron and not even close to the blow dry you get at the salon Plus it over heated and melt the attachment and the wand lock as well
I bought one and wanted to like it so badly. Hated it. Dryed my hair too fast even on lowest settings made my hair feel like straw. Returned it and bought the T3 featherweight 2 and the babyliss pro.
Is it weird that this video made me want the Dyson dryer?? My hair is SUPER thick and takes a long time to dry, so I would love some serious speed. My hair is also very smooth naturally (like almost too smooth - won't hold anything), so frizz isn't something I'm worried about. But, ugh - $400 - that's a serious price tag.
Dyson products are amazingly well designed, but the cost. Wow! Their vacuums. 👍👍 they even look cool. Shark will sell you a slightly less engineered product that works less $. She hates short cords.. there's some innuendo in there... I can't find it. 😂
After having the Dyson for 3 years and using it only twice a week, it died. Talked w/Dyson over the phone and went to local Dyson service center. They can do nothing! Bottom line, I will NOT buy again.
Good information. However, I know no one who would spend over $100 on a blow dryer. I feel like your price ranges were a little off. The T3 should have been your high point, which is still a very high dollar point. Would have been nice to see you do mid range ones like hot tools or other ones that are less than $100 but not drug store. Who seriously would pay $400 for a blow dryer?!
s theisen I know a lot of people that buy the T3 and the dry bar one but I understand what you’re saying. I usually really like hot tools products. It would have been nice to see one of theirs included!
A Latitude Adjustment no, I wouldnt judge anyone. My point was just simply most people wouldn't spend that kind of money or wouldn't have the means to spend that kind of money on a hair dryer. For most people I know it just simply isn't realistic. That is all. Again, my original comment is I just wish there would have been more mid range options part of her review.
As you can see from my statement 'would I.. ever spend $400" and the answer was no. but in your case I can see why you would.. I am happy to see that it fits in for your need.. I wasn't knocking anyone for buying one my sister in law has one and loves it too.. I just don't have a need for it.
My hair stylist uses the Dyson on me and I don't really see or feel any wow difference. I am really not impressed with it. I bought the T3 Cura Luxe when I had a 20% discount at Ulta and I like it much better.
I've tried Dyson some months ago, on QVC. But ?I was not satified with it, for 400 €....I've returned it back. Maybe I was not able enough, I don't know. But I have frizzy semi-curly hair, and I cannot reach a good style with it. I prefer my Babyliss by far

Just Bought the T3 a couple of weeks ago and love it!
What blow dryer are you currently using? I'm looking for a good one that will control my frizzies.
I love my T3!! I would never go back to anything other!!
Totally agree about the Dyson! So glad I was able to try it before purchasing my own. I personally felt it heavy due to the power pack in the cord.
for natural, long, curly hair, the Dyson not having a fan that can eat your hair is a huge deal.
I purchased the Speed Freak from Ulta a few years back...I feel like it is pretty heavy and the hot setting is way too hot for me🔥definitely used the medium setting a lot more. I have a lot of thick, coarse, curly hair so it made my arms pretty tired..I wish it came with a diffuser too. I will say, it definitely dries my hair quick though! Thank you for this video!

I have straight fine hair and I love my Dyson
Not in the market for a new blow dryer yet, but I saved this for future! Thank you for the awesome info!
I tried the T3 Cura and didn't like it. I tend to get some frizz but it was TOO smoothing. If you are prone to having an oily scalp be careful of ionized hair dryers. Every one I've used makes my hair super greasy and still feeling wet even after drying for a long time.
I have very frizzy hair n my scalp is oily welp…
I bought the speed freak off of your recommendation! It is a great mid-range product. I only blow dry occasionally, so I can't justify buying a high end blow dryer.
Great video- thank you! Given that a good hair day can be such a game changer, a good hair dryer is worth it's weight in gold!
Can you please do one on flat irons? I am in the market but don't know which one to get!
Please, please do this with flat irons.
Straighteners please. I’m looking to purchase a new one because I’ve had my current one for a long time and it’s starting to not work as well. Thank you for all the info on hair dryers.
The Dyson, I heard, has a nozzle concentrator you could purchase separately for smoothness
Allison Gibson the dyson comes with all three attachments for the price
Thanks for the review. I hate short cords too. I definitely will try the Rusk not the Dyson. xoxo, Cindi
Hi Kate, precious video - thank you. I was very curious about the dyson, way too expensive for this result. And yes: I also hate short cords! Big hugs from Germany!
Cool 😎 hair dryers! Your hair looks amazing 😉! Great 👍🏻 vid! 💕💕
Love, love, love my Rusk Speed Freak! I’ve heard great things about the Drybar Buttercup too.
Hello I just saw your video and you mentioned the Ariel speed Freak. I just purchased a used one for $30 bucks. Can’t wait to try it out. Based off of you mentioning it I pulled the trigger :-). I’m a barber so it should be useful
I own a barber shop and we exclusively use Twin Turbos.
I’ve found Rusk Speed Freak on Amazon and Groupon 😊 my fave used it for years!
Can u tell me about the Dyson Wrap
I'd be drying my hair for 3 hours without the hot setting.
Careful with extension cords. I used a heavy duty one and it still sparked! Thank goodness there was no fire.
Could you make a Playlist with your review videos on it? I like reviews but you have so many videos its hard to find them.
I’ve been waiting for this video, thank you!
which is the best travel hair dryer?
Please do a review on the Dyson Airwrap. I’m so curious what you’ll think of it. I’m on the fence. It’s quite pricey.
Melanie B I ve watched millions of reviews and tutorials before buying mine and believe me none of it saved me from the shock. It’s so pricey for the quality and if u have naturally frizzy and dull hair then don’t bother it was nothing near the results you get with a traditional flat iron or
curling iron and not even close to the blow dry you get at the salon

Would love to see the flat iron video!!
Wish you would’ve mentioned the GHD blow dryer, but great review!
I bought one and wanted to like it so badly. Hated it. Dryed my hair too fast even on lowest settings made my hair feel like straw. Returned it and bought the T3 featherweight 2 and the babyliss pro.
I agree with you on the Dyson. I bought it and was not happy with it :(. My Rusk speed freak is amazing! I can’t let it go.
I have the speed freak cuz of you and i love it! I just wish it came with a diffuser.
I stopped buying the T3 dryers because I found they would only last for one year...... and I am not a hairstylist
I just need to dry my roots well so as long as it isn't too heavy and too expensive
I got a vidal sassoon 1875 tourmaline ceramic which I got for £15 and its pretty good
what about noise level

Kind of agree, would be cool to see some that are better than the cheapest, but also not SO expensive
s theisen I know a lot of people that buy the T3 and the dry bar one but I understand what you’re saying. I usually really like hot tools products. It would have been nice to see one of theirs included!
I did the dive in to the T3 and it is wonderful.. would I ever spend $400 ?? Nope..but that T3 is the best!!

Does T3 have swivel cord so it doesn't get all twisted up? thank you

Awesome thanks

If you have a cosmetology license the Dyson dryer is half price directly fr Dyson.
I be damn if an expensive blow dryer does its job I'm getting it! I like that T3 :)
great review
Helpful video for me 😎😎
