Dyson hair dryers
Currently, there are a huge number of different models of hair dryers on the market, which differ in their functionality, size and many other parameters. Against their background, Dyson hair dryers stand out with a rather innovative approach, which introduced fundamentally new concepts into the operation of the product.
Features and Benefits
Dyson hair dryer models have become a kind of revolution for the world of household appliances - they look like a microphone with a hole in the middle than a hair dryer, and the cost is much higher than the usual models - on the official website the product will cost around 35 thousand rubles. After such a bold price, the question naturally arises, what is so special about this hair dryer, what advantages does it have over other devices. After all, even a professional hair dryer will cost several times cheaper.
According to the manufacturers, the Dyson hair dryer does not harm the hair at all when drying - this is due to the process itself, during which the hair dryer inevitably changes the temperature to a higher one and heats up, which leads to the fact that the air that passes through it also heats up. In the course of research conducted by the company, heating temperatures have been identified that harm hair (from 150 degrees Celsius), so Dyson hair dryers are programmed to track it for every 20 seconds.As soon as the maximum possible mark is reached, the product begins to cool, thus the hair structure is not injured.
Each model implies that with its help it is possible to exclude all other styling products, because the set includes several special attachments, each of which serves not only to dry the hair, but also to style it. They are attached to the case with magnets and perform several functions at once, in which they are assisted by a chip built into the product that regulates heating and air pressure. The manufacturer also claims that in addition to irons, styling products - various stylers and mousses - will also remain idle, which will lead to significant cost savings in the future.
Such devices dry hair much faster, this is facilitated by a more powerful air pressure, while analogues can boast a supply force three times less than Dyson hair dryers. They are lighter and more convenient, as the developers managed to fit a fairly strong engine into their case, which is not bulky and does not weigh down the product. It is located in the very handle of the hair dryer, which is an additional advantage - the hair does not get stuck in the engine and you can reach even the most “inconvenient” places for drying and styling
Dyson models are quieter than conventional hair dryers. This was made possible by increasing the number of impeller blades - this hair dryer has 13 of them.
The history of the creation of this miracle device is also interesting. A whole staff of engineers and developers worked on the production of a new generation hair dryer, the company spent about 50 million pounds on research and development. To create a better design of the product, a special laboratory was even created, in which they studied the structure of the hair and the effect of the environment on it.Interestingly, the novelty made an impression on almost everyone, from masters and ordinary girls who are forced to do styling in the morning, to people who are interested in the device as an object of engineering and mechanical thought.
The developers noticed that the design of hair dryers did not change for a very long time, because until the 1960s the engine was in the body itself, but the Dyson V9 was made quite small in size, which helped to transfer the load to the handle. The hair lab, built specifically for the development of the hair dryer, created all the equipment in-house and carried out tests that no one had done before. For this purpose, natural strands of hair were also purchased. They were bought on such a scale that at one time there was even a shortage of them on the market.
During the study, several prototypes of the model were created, over a hundred engineers pored over their development, the release of the device was prepared for about 4 years.
The developers also provided some more interesting statistics that make this device quite special: during the work, about six hundred prototypes of the final product were made, about a hundred patents were filed in connection with the invention of the device, and sixteen of them - only for one nozzle.
Characteristics
Dyson hair dryer models have specific technical parameters that distinguish them from ordinary and even professional products. It is an innovation that manufacturers have coped with static electricity by negatively charged ions. Hair will no longer stick out in different directions.
You can start with the power and intensity of the air flow. It is larger even at the minimum speed of using the hair dryer, and this is made possible by the fact that the width of the flow in the Supersonic models, for example, is about 27 mm. But this does not mean that the hair dryer consumes a lot of electricity - its power is only 1600 watts in case of maximum use. This is approximately the same figure as that of quite familiar models and so-called road hair dryers.
In addition to the width of the air flow, there is also such a parameter as its speed. In models from Dyson, it will be equal to about 37-41 liters per second.
According to the manufacturers, the design of the product will forever forget the problem of hair suction. This was made possible thanks to the technology already patented by the company, which enhances the mobility of air. It's called the Dyson Air Multiplier™. In the handle itself there are special holes that suck in air. They are covered with filters. Thus, air enters from below, then passes in a powerful stream through the central hole of the hair dryer. The hair dryer is equipped with three speed settings that can control the temperature for drying hair: fast mode, styling mode and the so-called standard. There are different levels of heating for drying hair, there are four of them: from 100 degrees for quick drying to 28 degrees for natural.
Another technical parameter is relatively light weight hair dryer - 630 grams. It can be called relatively small because there are road products that weigh less, but, of course, they do not have as much power as the Dyson. Professional models are always heavier.An additional advantage is that this weight is conveniently distributed throughout the product, since the motor is not located in the central part of the body, but in the handle. The hair dryer is not difficult to manage and the hands do not get tired when styling. The length of the cord for a Dyson hair dryer will be 2.7 m.
For specialists, manufacturers have created a professional model. It includes a motor with the so-called digital control. It contributes to the fact that the air flow increases three times.
Air temperature control technology specially invented and developed for this model, which is called intelligent heat control, will make sure that the hair is not overheated, select a temperature that is comfortable for styling and drying them and promote a healthy shine of the hair. This technology measures the temperature of the airflow every twenty seconds for a perfect styling result.
Models
The line of hair dryers from Dyson is represented by several models. "Dyson Supersonic" (body color - fuchsia or white) is designed for home use. This new generation product is miniature and lightweight and comes with 3 attachments, a cord, a silicone mat, and a product warranty card. Also included are detailed instructions for using the device.
Nozzles are available in three versions:
- diffuser is perfect for curly or wavy hair;
- a flat oblong nozzle for drying hair does not style, but simply dries curls due to air dispersion throughout the volume;
- for directly styling hair into a beautiful hairstyle, the set includes a concentrator nozzle.
A professional Dyson Supersonic hair dryer will not have many differences from a product for home use. The same heavy-duty engine is located in the handle, the body of the hair dryer is made in silver colors, the models are on sale in a leather case with two nozzles, an elastic mat and a storage strap. There are slight differences in weight - the professional Dyson is 29 grams heavier.
The novelty can please salon masters by tuning the engine to a frequency familiar to human hearing. Also, the developers have practically nullified vibrations, which will minimize the noise in the hall. The professional model is designed for constant use, has a small weight, which will not let the hairdresser get tired.
Price
On the official website of Dyson, a hair dryer for home use will cost 29,990 rubles, a professional one is not yet available for sale. The company's partner stores provide the same price, hair dryers can be found in the M. Video" and "Technopark". DNS and most other chain stores of electronics and household appliances will be able to sell such models for a thousand rubles more - for 30,990. MediaMarkt lists hair dryers for both 29,990 and 31,990 rubles. (the model is sold with a leather case), in most online stores the price varies in this range.
If on the selected site the price is very different downwards from that presented on the official site, then with a high probability you can run into a fake.
How to distinguish the original from a fake?
Since the novelty made a splash in the field of hairdressing, and in principle changed some ideas about drying and styling hair, it was natural to expect fakes to flood the market.Some examples are a little better, some are completely useless. To distinguish the original from a fake, there are nuances that you should pay attention to when buying a hair dryer.
If the device is purchased through an online store, then you need to pay attention to the price, if it is quite different from the one presented on the official website in a lower direction, then you can most likely run into a low-quality product. Of course, in order to be sure of the quality of the hair dryer, it is better to purchase it either in the online store of Dyson dealers, if there is no opportunity or desire to buy on the official website of the manufacturer itself, or purchase the product from partner stores so that in the future it would not be a shame for wasted money .
When purchasing a hair dryer not on the Internet, but in an electronics and household appliances store, where you can inspect and touch the goods in person, there are also some nuances.
First of all, you should pay attention to the quality of the material from which the product is made. It is also worth making sure how careful the elaboration of details, buttons is and whether there is a discrepancy with the color coating presented on the official website from the manufacturer.
An important point is the warranty card. It must be in the set. Dyson has a 2-year warranty on its hair dryers. The box should contain all nozzles, a silicone mat and instructions for use. If any of the above is missing, then it is better to postpone the purchase in such a store. Summing up, we can say that the surest way to protect yourself from purchasing fake products is to order the product on the official website of the manufacturer.Don't worry about shipping, it's free.
Reviews
The hair dryer from Dyson went on sale in Russia only in September 2017, which became a kind of help in order to determine, based on the reviews of buyers and professional hairdressers who have already tried it, whether the product is really as good as the manufacturers said about it. This is not just for the sake of curiosity. Downright cosmic, by the standards of a hair dryer, the price should be supported by real advantages, not only according to manufacturers, but also according to the real feelings of buyers.
Most of the reviews about the hair dryer are positive. Customers whose short hair was subjected to extreme coloring and was dry and lifeless, after using the Dyson product for a certain amount of time, noted an improvement in their structure, they became smooth and shiny. The reason is called the difference in temperature conditions from conventional hair dryers. In addition, at a specially provided power, it blows noticeably cooler. They also note convenient dimensions and the absence of heaviness in the hands when styling hair with arms raised for a better direction of the air stream.
Beautiful design also played a role in increasing the attractiveness of this product.
Some buyers noted as a positive thing that the hair dryer is very small and easily fits into a cabinet in the bathroom, you can safely take it with you on a trip. Hair drying has become much faster, according to the owners after use. The ability to easily remove and attach the nozzles is also called the undoubted advantage of the device, they hold tight and do not fall off, they can be rotated in different directions depending on the angle at which the device is to be used.
Buyers with long, thick and unruly hair note that some styling products, for example, varnish or spray for the hold post, can be dispensed with, but in general they cannot be excluded. The ideal result is noted by buyers with uncolored hair - their hair became soft to the touch and very smooth. With partially or fully dyed hair, the result is not so impressive.
The question of the commensurability of the cost and characteristics of the product also arose. Some express the opinion that the hair dryer is worth the money, some still disagree. Some buyers noted in the reviews that they arranged a so-called test drive for hair dryer models. First, it was decided to find out if the hair dryer really does not heat up during operation. To do this, he was left on for fifteen minutes and several conventional devices were tested with him. The travel hair dryer, judging by the reviews, turned off at 3 minutes, the professional one lasted all 15. The Dyson hair dryer also continued to work for the entire time and it didn't get hot at all.
There was also a test of the cold blow mode, which not all hair dryers can handle. The fact is that after a regime with a fairly high temperature, the hair dryer needs to quickly rebuild and start supplying cold air. Many travel devices do not have such a function at all, brush hair dryers have it, but it is practically not implemented in practice. The Supersonic hair dryer does not cool the air completely and immediately, it just becomes warm.
Many users say that they find it easiest to simply operate the blower without pressing the cold air button.
Also raised the question of the air supply mode, designed for 28 degrees, and whether it is possible to dry the hair only in this way, without turning on the heat.Many buyers have said that they don't like to use a hair dryer at all because the air is too hot, which burns and ruins the hair. But the novelty allowed them to do so. The elapsed time was approximately ten minutes, using the strongest possible air flow. After testing the diffuser nozzle, many note that the volume from the roots is really noticeable.
The downside, some buyers considered that the cord can be twisted during use, since it does not have special hinges. The air intake filter, which is not installed on the body, as in conventional models, but on the handle, is easily removed and installed back, judging by the reviews of the owners.
An interesting find is also called light indicators, which are located near the buttons for switching modes and speeds. They show the power of using heating as well as air flow. The more LED dots light up, the more power the modes are used.
Hairdressers speak about the same about this device. Most of the reviews are positive and repeat the delight of ordinary consumers - the hair dryer is comfortable, miniature and has a beautiful design. The masters also note the undoubted care for the hair and the opportunity to talk with the client during work, since the hair dryer practically does not make noise.
