Expensive hair dryers are they worth it ?

Mine cost £10 many years ago, a Boots own brand.

Am quite sure if I had a £400 one, I still wouldn’t be able to get my hair looking presentable.

I have a Dyson hairdryer, it's light, quick and easy to use.
My Hairdresser had one, so I was lucky to see it in action before I bought one
Had it over 2 years now, I wouldn't go back to any other now.

Thank heavens you’re here!
You can share the disapproving looks!

However if I were to win the dyson raffle....no!only joking.

I found a nice one in Aldi fir £7. Am a great Aldi fan. Light and easy to use, it does the job. My hair is porous and dries very quickly. A fancy hairdryer would not make any difference to my lank, thin, dull hair.

I could buy a £400 one, but why would I? It’s a hairdryer.
Would rather save the £393 fir something else. That’s just me.

I have a Dyson vacuum cleaner, thought it would be super but it’s not. Trying to empty it means putting hands or a stick into the dirt to release it from the side of the container. Underwhelming.

Thank you Fanny and yes please to a raffle ?

That’s where I first saw the Dyson on QVC but have also seen it in John Lewis. It’s good to know it’s not heavy. If it’s sucks rather than blow does it take some getting used to?

Please be assured that I don’t usually spend loads of money like that.
It was quite out of character.
At the time my hair looked pretty dreadful.
I spent a lot more on every pill, potion, gizmo, the lot; to help the hair loss.
I was only months away from having a hair system.
Thankfully the Vitamin D stopped it from falling out (I had to have a really high prescription dose)

Another one for the babyliss travel dryer. I do have a hot brush that I use occasionally. I can’t hold up the big dryers for long and wouldn’t dream of buying one of those overpriced dryers ?

I am prepared to pay up to £40 for a hair dryer.

I let my hair dry naturally and only give it a few minutes at the end to make sure it is dry before I use my curling tongs. I only wash my hair every 5 days so unless I was told the Dyson was a miracle worker I won’t be buying it.

Thanks for your help. ?‍♀️

My hair is difficult - thick, wavy, prone to frizz. Have tried many types of dryers, straighteners, stylers over the years.
Best solution for me - I use a normal type hairdryer( look for a low noise one- not expensive) to get it almost dry.
Then style with a Babyliss big hair 42cm brush dryer. It’s brilliant!! Smooths, curls, styles - I can make my hair look as good as the hairdressers. Does not damage hair / dry it out. Can be used in between washes for a quick restyle/ freshen. Both my DD and several friends have bought the Babyliss on my recommendation - all agree it’s marvellous. Takes a few goes to master so persevere!

Oops, wrong thread, sorry!

I’ve bought her a 2nd hand book for her birthday, though, Callistemon - couldn’t resist when it came up as I was ordering something else from abebooks.

A good old Enid Blyton - ‘The Naughtiest Girl In The School’!
I dare say I shall have to explain what a governess was (the one who couldn’t cope with the naughtiness any more) but apart from that I think it’ll be fine.

Well, that didn’t work

There’s this one 729210

Grandmadinosaur if you buy one from QVC you could try it out for 60 days.
That’s where I got mine from for that reason.
The non Air Wrap version is probably quite a bit less pricey than mine.
I will have a look…

I let my thick hair dry naturally. Hair dryers tend to dry it out and my hair is dry enough anyway!

Perhaps I could do a GN raffle for my Dyson ?? ?

The Dyson hairdryer is actually very light.

And it does leave your hair incredibly smooth.

If you have really beautiful hair and you want it sleek, smooth and shiny; it is actually very good.
Probably not £400 good though…

It works differently to other dryers - it actually sucks, not blows.

It does the job a lot quicker too.

But I never got the hang of the wrap things which are supposed to
make soft ringlets

I’d love to try the Dyson hairdryer. My hair is the bane of my life so if it did the trick it would be worth the money. I also have dexterity issues with my hand. DH bought me the GHD version for Christmas. Tried it once but it is so heavy I went straight back to my Tresemme one. It’s never been out the box since. Waste of money.

I only have a hair dryer used when I am in a salon. At home I dry my hair early evening and it dries naturally. It is short and very thick.

My Scottish upbringing would not allow me to spend so much money on a hairdryer. They do not appear to be worth the extra cash.

No way would I spend pounds ten on something that blows hot air, the 1 I use was a cheapo 1, does the job.

I'm another who prefers a hairdryer that is not too heavy due to arthritis and I certainly would not spend £300 plus on a Dyson, like his vacuum cleaners, far to heavy. I do have one of those styling brushes, bought as I thought it would help give a bit of oomph! (volume) but it is really too large for me to hold comfortably so like Fanny's hairdryer it is out of sight and unused.

£400 I'd want a salon finish blow dry for that much money and every time!!!! but of course that can't be achieved because the hair has to be lifted up from the root, by someone standing over doing it............oh maybe the dryer came with a person to do just that Fanny but do they go in the drawer with the hairdryer, cos you don't want them hanging around the house, do you ?

I am utterly ashamed to say that I have a nearly £400 Dyson Airwrap

In my defence, I bought it at a time when I was having terrible trouble with my hair. I was loosing it, basically (my hair, not my marbles).
I threw lots of money at the problem (nothing worked)

It turns out that I had a huge Vitamin D deficiency.

Anyway, now that my hair has grown back (hurray!) I follow the Curly Girl Method.

My hair always air dries now.

The Airwrap hasn’t been out of its fancy box for over two years

I wouldn’t spend that much on a hairdryer. I have had mine for many years Sunhair 3200. I prefer a higher voltage as the hair is dried quicker so I don’t have to hold it up for so long.
