I believe everyone has already known about Dyson hair dryer. Many girls told me this Valentine’s Day that they wanted this from their boyfriends.
There have been many articles written about it, including “the most awesome hair dryer in history”, “a magic tool for hair drying”, “black technology hair dryer”, “Hermès in the hair dryer industry”, “no shortcomings except that it is expensive”… …Almost all of them are boasting, but few of them are to the point.
Today I will explain it clearly to you.
With such a small size and a bit like a hammer, the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer is definitely not something that looks like it is useless…
Not really.
▲ Portable hair dryer, Dyson hair dryer, salon hair dryer
Compared with traditional hair dryers, Supersonic is the first to achieve hair drying speed that is not inferior to salon-level hair drying in a smaller size than the portable model.
There is only one constant temperature setting on traditional hair dryers, which is use to ensure hair is not burn for a long time . Supersonic supports all settings . The negative ion function that makes hair smoother after blow-drying is also not absent from it .
Although the Supersonic is small in size, it is not weak in use.
❶
Small body can dry hair quickly
Before the advent of Supersonic, hair dryers were basically synonymous with fast hair drying and big body.
The most typical ones are the large salon-grade hair dryers used by hairstylists. In order to pursue drying speed, their power is at least 2000W. This not only makes it easy to blow out various styles of hair, but also does not take too long to blow out some girls’ long hair.
The principle of a traditional hair dryer is relatively simple. It inhales air through a motor installed on the head, heats it through an internal resistance wire, and blows it out at the air nozzle.
In this way, the stronger the motor of the hair dryer, the more power it will have, the more air it will suck, and the longer the resistance wire that needs to be heated will be longer, so the size will be larger.
But Supersonic’s huge “lung capacity” is not achieved by motors alone.
Dyson hair dryer 1600W
Although the power of the whole machine is only 1600W, it uses the exclusive Air Amplifier airflow doubling technology and ultra-thin and efficient heating components. The air can be sucked in from the bottom of the Supersonic handle and behind the blower head at the same time. When it is blown out, it will also bring in some of the surrounding air. into the blown air flow, and finally blows out an air flow of a specific temperature that is 3 times the amount of air inhaled by the motor.
To put it simply: the wind blown by the Supersonic can be extremely strong, even stronger than the average salon-grade hair dryer!
Of course, Supersonic is not only capable of blowing strong winds. The 3-speed wind speed and 4-speed temperature can be adjusted separately. There are 12 combinations in total, which is twice as many as the 6 most common ones on the market. You can always find the one that suits you. files.
❷
It won’t overheat even if you keep blowing it.
Speaking of gears, let’s talk about the “constant temperature gear” commonly seen in hair dryers. Supersonic does not have this setting, not because it does not have a constant temperature function, but because it has automatic temperature control in all settings.
What is the use of the constant temperature setting?
▲ The more yellow it is, the higher the temperature is, and the more blue it is, the colder it is.
Usually when we use a hair dryer to blow hair, when we only use one heat setting, the air blown out will become hotter and hotter.
If the hot air temperature of the hair dryer is too high , the hair scales on the outer layer of the hair will become very uneven while drying the hair, making the hair look frizzy ; at the same time, it will cause holes inside the hair due to the denaturation of keratin. It will make the hair lose its luster ; at this time, the hair or scalp will also feel very hot, and the use experience will be very bad .
▲ With the constant temperature setting, your hair will not be blown too hot
If there is a constant temperature setting, the hair dryer will judge the temperature of the air outlet according to the surrounding environment and keep it within a fixed range. As long as you don’t blow in one place all the time, you won’t feel hot and it will protect your hair. It also makes it more supple and docile.
Hair dryers with a constant temperature function almost only have a dedicated constant temperature setting (usually between 50° and 60°), and if the air inlet of the hair dryer is accidentally blocked, the constant temperature function will fail.
▲ Detect the temperature of the air outlet 20 times per second
By implanting a microprocessor and a glass bead thermal sensor inside Supersonic, Dyson can detect the temperature of the air outlet 20 times per second. It can not only control the temperature change within a small range, but also support all gears. position, and even if both the upper and lower air inlets are block, the temperature can still be effectively control.
Simply put, Supersonic’s temperature control is “whatever degree it should be” at all times.
❸
Hair becomes smoother after blow-drying
Although not emphasized, Supersonic contains negative ions that make hair smoother.
The negative ion function allows the hair dryer to blow out negatively charged air to neutralize the positive charges that easily attach to the hair, making the hair smooth and not messy.
However, the negative ion function is not Supersonic’s strong point. No matter in terms of product promotion, internal structure, or actual experience, Supersonic’s negative ion function has a certain gap with hair dryers from Panasonic and other brands that use it as its main selling point.
High-volume hair dryers are particularly heavy and tiring to hold, and have hardly changed in the more than 50 years since the 1960s. Dyson Supersonic solved this problem for the first time by adjusting the center of gravity of the hair dryer and reducing the length of the air nozzle.
Common hair dryers
Common hair dryers have the motor, which is the heaviest of the whole machine, placed on the head. Instead, the handle contains only a few circuit boards that weigh almost nothing. It is top-heavy and tiring to use, much like holding a hammer.
Dyson did not follow its predecessors, but moved the center of gravity of the entire hair dryer. Down to the handle, effectively reducing fatigue during use. It has developed its own black technology – the ninth generation digital motor, making. The diameter of the motor about the same size as a coin, which can be cleverly place in the hair dryer handle.
Doubling technology
In this way, combine with the airflow doubling technology mentioned above. The small-sized and large-volume Supersonic does not require the large nozzle of a traditional hair dryer. When using it, the arm does not need to be raise very far. And there will be no soreness even if it is blown for a long time. Experience using it Instant kill of all high-volume hair dryers.
Even though Supersonic looks like a hammer, it looks nothing like it when used.
Usually if something is useful, it can make people very happy. If it happens to be beautiful, that would be even better.
When it comes to electrical appliances with a strong sense of design, in the past. People may think of a certain speaker, TV, coffee machine, etc. But when it comes to hair dryers,… well, they look embarrassed.
I don’t need to say much about how good Supersonic looks, you can tell it with your eyes.
In addition to achieving excellent functions and stunning design. Dyson, which has always been know for its black technology, is still not satisfy. And has done something even more unexpected – making the hair dryer not bad no matter how much you use it!
Supersonic’s factory testing is as follows:
Such:
And, like this:
Durability test
In the durability test of Dyson during the research and development stage. An average product was dropped 1,700 times. The wires were folded 310,000 times, and the button was lifted more than 50,000 times.
Finally, by using advanced composite materials and adding 25% glass fiber, Dyson further improved the strength of Supersonic. It is not only extremely resistant to falls. But it can also withstand a weight of 240 pounds, and is also highly resistant to chemicals and heat.
PS. I just want to know, if the hair dryer is made so sturdy, is it really not for self-defense and life-saving…
In the size of a portable hair dryer, Supersonic has achieved salon-level fast drying. It has full-range constant temperature, and negative ions to smooth hair. This is easy on the arms and very labor-saving. It has a great design and is extremely durable. No other hair dryer can do it except Dyson. It can be done like this.
But the Supersonic falls flat when it comes to professional features in the hair dryer realm.
The built-in negative ion function is not very effective. And it does not have the dual mineral hair care, water ion moisturizing of hair. Alternating hot and cold air for quick styling, long, medium and short hair mode. And fluffy and smooth mode, dedicated scalp mode, and face blowing mode of Panasonic hair dryer. and a series of more extremely professional functions.
