Dyson Hairdryer - is it worth £300

[Tinkywinky150]

I’m looking for a new hairdryer as my Ego travel hairdryer is on its last legs.
Has anyone tried the Dyson hairdryer and is it really worth the £300 ?
I have very short spiked colour treated hair - would I get much benefit ?

No hairdryer is worth £300!

£300 is a ridiculous price for a hairdryer. Mind you, all Dyson stuff is overpriced in my opinion.

I’ve just replaced my Ego with a Babyliss one - £30 from Amazon and it’s great!

Do you use it as a travel iron? I would have thought it would be unwieldily to travel with the Dyson (When permitted)

My hairstyle was much as yours but lockdown has resulted in a very short bob but very thick and I’m wondering what it will be like on holiday as I don’t take a dryer and often don’t even bother with the one provided by hotel.

What's wrong with a towel?

My daughters bought me one of these a few years ago. They don’t read this forum so I am comfortable to say no, it’s absolutely not worth it.

No way would I pay £300 even if I could afford it. I've had a Babyliss travel dryer for over 20 years and it's brilliant even on my very thick frizzy hair.

Well once hair is towel dried you look like a cave woman for one thing and then you need to try and smooth it down and if you've curly hair like me you end up having a complete tantrum because you look hideous.

Next question.

Can only comment from long hair point of view

I like mine for the speed of drying my hair 5 mins and I’m done

A friend of mine had the Dyson hair wrap bought for her at Christmas (now ex boyfriend). she still needs to put mousse in her hair prior to using the wrap and add hairspray when finished to keep the curls in place, her hair is shoulder length, so much for the waffle they spout on the shows that you don't require product to keep curls whilst using the wrap
I honestly don't think a Dyson hairdryer is worth the money.

I hope I don't look like a cave WOMAN !

I don’t use mine for travelling, nor do I use straighteners, it’s just nice & small and light weight too. Having such short hair, I don’t see the need for a massive large heavy hairdryer.

I’ve got long hair. If I dried it with a towel it would take too long and the laundry basket would be filled up with wet towels when I’d finished - hours later.

I tried it at the beginning of lockdown hair growing, hard to manage etc. & I felt this was a time with other things going on,to treat myself.At first I thought yes! then in days I tried my old hairdryer again, the result little if any difference.It dries quickly so perhaps if you have a lot of long thick hair? For me a definite no, & at that price a treble no.I returned (at a cost) but at least I satisfied my curiosity.If it was around the £100 mark perhaps but not at nearly £300, that is rediculous.

You cant beat the Dyson stick vacuum cleaners. last for years and clean throughly and super fast. The V10 is out of this world the last TSV. Managed to get a Fluffy head direct from Dyson to fit as I have loads of hard flooring. Best thing ever. the fluffy head is super fast and very efficient

I’ve never rated Dyson products, there are better out there, for a lot less money. Personally I don’t think £300 and hairdryer belong in the same sentence.

My old (seven years-ish) Phillips starts the job off for me, then I scrunch dry to give a bit more body which works for me. £300 is a joke and someone's laughing all the way to the bank.

Same here CC I'd look like Worzel Gummidge without a hairdryer and straighteners. Now I did pay £85 for some GHD straighteners and they have been worth the money. No way would I buy any overpriced Dyson product.

I was given one as a gift, one of the original ones - absolutely useless on my hair, dries it out too much and am left with an unholy mess ... now I use it to dry my dog's fur after a bath and it is brilliant for blowing out cobwebs behind radiators ...

I’ve had one for a few years and love it to diffuse dry my very thick curly hair faster than my old hairdryer did. Unless it’s changed for newer models its not multi voltage so you wouldn’t be able to use it abroad.

I got a T3 in TKMaxx last year, they are ****** expensive £225, I got it for £39. I even dithered over paying £39 for a hairdryer but had seen it in Space NK and the staff used it and swore by the brand. Coughs, I told them where I got mine and one even went and bought one from TKMaxx.
