Dyson is synonymous with luxury. Given that the brand’s haircare devices retail in the region of £300 and £600, they’re not the sort of beauty essentials you’re likely to pick up on a whim. Rather, they’re investment tools that are designed to improve your hair’s health and appearance.

Given my experience as a beauty journalist, I’ve tried and tested countless hair dryers, and the one quality that gives Dyson tools the edge is their motor speed (the power of the airflow versus the temperature that shortens the drying time). In my experience, this equates to quicker styling sessions and less hair damage.
