"We didn’t think we’d love him so much" : we tested the Dyson mini hair dryer and we better understand its price

We’ve all had that moment when we regret not having taken our hairdryer on vacation. The hotel one barely blows, our hair takes forever to dry and the blow-dry we had imagined ends up falling through. So obviously, when Dyson unveiled a miniature hair dryer capable of following us everywhere, we really wanted to try it.

It must be said that the British brand already has quite a reputation with its Supersonic and its famous Airwrap. This time, it offers us the Supersonic Travel, a travel model that promises to sacrifice nothing in terms of efficiency.

A hairdryer so light that we enjoy using it

This is probably what we preferred with the Supersonic Travel. As soon as you pick it up, you appreciate its lightness. No more tiring arms when we still have half the head to dry. The device is easy to handle and allows you to work on your locks without contorting yourself in front of the mirror. We also like its compact format, which naturally fits in a travel bag. But it would almost be a shame to reserve it for the holidays. We enjoyed using it on a daily basis, as it is so pleasant to handle. Its concentrator also allows you to direct the breath to achieve more precise blow-drying. The only small regret concerns the absence of a diffuser, which limits the possibilities for curly hair.

Fast drying which really amazed us

We had some doubts about the power of such a small device. They quickly flew away. The Supersonic Travel has a surprisingly powerful blast, which allows you to dry hair without spending hours in front of the mirror. And we particularly appreciate that in the morning. Our laboratory measurements confirm this impression: the device quickly wicks away moisture. Another detail that we really liked: the heat remains well controlled. You benefit from effective drying without the need to expose your hair to excessive temperature. With its concentrator, you can also work on the lengths more easily to obtain a neat blow-dry.

We understand why we could fall for it

Yes, the Supersonic Travel represents a real investment. However, after using it, we understand its benefits better. It’s not just a device you buy for vacation. It is a hair dryer that can be used every day, dries quickly and does not tire the arm. We also appreciate its controlled power consumption and its ease of use. So yes, it can be heard when it works, and we would have liked more accessories. But if you travel often, are short on space or are simply looking for a light and efficient hair dryer, we find that it has serious arguments. For our part, it was above all its comfort that won us over. And this is precisely what makes us want to continue using it.

Is the Dyson Supersonic Travel suitable for daily use?

Yes, and that’s what we particularly liked during our test. The Dyson Supersonic Travel is light enough to be used every day without arm fatigue. Its quick drying also saves time in the morning. We also appreciate its simple handling, which makes styling pleasant even when you are in a hurry.

How to successfully blow dry with the Dyson Supersonic Travel?

To obtain a smooth blow-dry, start by removing excess moisture with a soft towel. We then use the Dyson Supersonic Travel concentrator to direct the air lengthwise, using a suitable brush. It’s best to work the hair in small sections to maintain control over styling. And above all, we remember to apply a heat-protective treatment before drying.

Is the Dyson Supersonic Travel really worth the price?

If you’re just looking for an occasional hairdryer, the price may seem hard to justify. On the other hand, for regular use, we particularly liked its lightness and its speed of drying. It is as practical to transport as it is pleasant to use at home. Its main drawback remains its noise, to which is added the absence of a diffuser. But for those who attach great importance to the comfort of styling, the investment can be justified.
