This is not the column I expected to write, because I find myself unable to prove the point I intended to make. The point being that if you find yourself in any of the very common predicaments of not being able to accommodate, or not wanting to prioritise, the cost of the coveted Dyson Supersonic hairdryer (£329.99, to be precise), or if you decide that your political beliefs prevent you from handing over what is a staggering amount of money to billionaire industrialist and Brexit cheerleader James Dyson, I could say here, “Don’t worry! This much cheaper one is every bit as good!”
The problem is that I have tried and I can’t. For full disclosure, I have been sent, at one time or another, all three Dyson hair tools and rate them honestly as follows. The Corrale straightener is extremely good: I like it a great deal and use it regularly, but I find it too bulky for travel (instead, I keep a Babyliss cordless version permanently in my suitcase). I could easily live without it if I had to.
