[unpaid/sample/affiliate] I know everything is awash with Black Friday (I thought it was last week anyway so I'm realllllly over it...) but I use my Dyson every single day - I LOVE it. I bought it myself (after being gifted one that lasted over 8 years) and there is a particular attachment (which sneakily, they don't sell separately or if they do, it's hard as hell to find one because I couldn't) called a Coanda that sorts out my bed head every morning.
This is the coanda, in situ on my bedroom floor! It somehow gently pulls at the hair using a hot air stream and straightens them out - you pass the dryer over once and any frizz or fuzz is just gone, leaving sleek and tidy strands in its place.
I've screen-grabbed from my Instagram reel so you can see the effect on my post dog-walking frizz! I don't really use any of the other attachments apart from the styling concentrator which every hair dryer has so you can be precise with the air flow. But, I'm not sure what I did with the coanda - actually, I do know what I did which was to basically blow dry already dry hair or take straighteners to it. Dyson doesn't use a particularly high heat for drying so I can hand on heart say my hair is in better condition for not wielding hot straighteners at it every day.
The dryer comes with plenty of tools though, if you like to 'do' your hair. It's the same discount, give or take 50p, across the board - I've looked really carefully to see if there are any spectacular bargains but all stockists are the giving the same discount - £250 from £320 (24%) but that's a nice saving if you had this on your Christmas list anyway. It's HERE. I've had so much use out of mine and I can't say the same for the Air Wrap which I'd now give a hard pass on other than for the initial thrill of the waves. All that said and done - it’s only a hair dryer - all dryers will dry your hair but this is definitely an upgrade.
Blowdryers have come a long way. I remember those little caps worn to dry the curlers. My mom had a "portable" dryer where the main blower was connected via a tube and motor that had to be set on a table.
Now, all these accessories to style the hair!
I admit, I don't own a blowdryer (*hangs head in shame*), then again I don't own a microwave oven or an airfryer.
I would rather have a giant body dryer, you know those kind that blow dries your dog or cat:
