Dyson Airwrap vs. Supersonic: Which is right for you?

In today's world of hair styling, it is impossible to name up to five leading devices and leave out the Dyson Airwrap and Supersonic hair dryers. One of them - the Dyson Airwrap Multi-Hair Styler - even won the Allure Best of Beauty Award in 2022 for its fantastic technology in drying and styling hair

Given the effectiveness of both devices, you may find it difficult to decide which one is right for you. We understand this dilemma, and that is why this post is published at this time.

However, as you will learn in this post, your hair type, choice, and budget can ultimately determine which of the two devices you will choose. This post also highlights the pros and cons of these two styling devices to provide more clarity on the difference between the two.

Dyson Airwrap vs. Supersonic: What are they?

We don't assume that everyone knows what these two hair styling tools are, so here is a brief description of each.

The Dyson Airwrap hair styler is a multifunctional hair styling tool that uses the Coanda effect to shape, comb, blow-dry and curl hair to make it look shiny and silky. Its technology makes it perfect for many hair types, styles and lengths. The powerful airflow and controlled heat ensure that hair is dried and styled at the same time without overheating.

The Supersonic hairdryer is also a Dyson product that is primarily designed for drying wet hair. Suppose you wash your hair with shampoo and want to dry it for styling, then this device is very suitable. Although it dries the hair very quickly, it does not generate high heat like other heat dryers that damage the hair while drying. It also makes the hair up to 61% smoother.

Who should buy the Dyson Airwrap?

• Anyone who struggles with straight hair.
• Those who have enough budget to pay the price of €599.00.
• Experts or above-average professional hairstylists.
• Anyone who is motivated by new challenges and willing to learn step by step.
• Users interested in a voluminous, bouncy blowout.

Who should buy the Dyson Supersonic hairdryer?

• Anyone who washes their hair regularly, regardless of its texture and style.
• Professional hairstylists and hobby hairdressers.
• Anyone who wants a frizz-free and smooth blowout.
• Those looking for alternatives to heat-based styling tools that often damage their hair.

Dyson Airwrap vs. Supersonic: How are they different?

1. Wet or dry hair?

As mentioned, the Supersonic device helps dry wet hair, but the Airwrap styler can only blow-dry damp or almost dry hair. So if your primary goal is to dry damp hair quickly, the Supersonic device is the right device for you.

2. Airflow rate

Due to the high wattage of the Supersonic, its airflow is stronger than that of the Dyson Airwrap. While the Supersonic requires 1,600 watts, the Dyson Airwrap only uses 1,200 watts.

3. Number of essays

The Dyson Airwrap has eight attachments, four of which are for curling hair, while the remaining four are for blow-drying, straightening, round brushing and gentle, smooth brushing. In contrast, the Supersonic has five attachments, all with one goal: straightening and drying hair quickly.

4. Usefulness

Both styling tools serve different purposes, but the Airwrap performs more tasks than the Supersonic. Other than drying wet hair and protecting against heat damage, the Supersonic has no other functions. The Dyson Airwrap, on the other hand, performs multiple functions such as creating bouncy blowouts, curling, straightening and drying hair, making it more versatile than the Supersonic.

5. Costs

Given the functional differences, the prices of these two products are obviously different. While the Supersonic is available for €449.00, the Airwrap costs €549.00. But even with this significant price difference, the Airwrap is worth it because of its numerous functions.

6. Storage

You will agree that devices like these two items need proper storage to protect them. Unfortunately, only the Airwrap comes with storage for the device and its attachments. If you want the same for the Supersonic, you will have to buy it for an additional cost of around €70.

7. User-friendliness

The Supersonic is easier to use than the Dyson Airwrap. For example, you need patience to learn how to change the barrels for curling. If you get the hang of it quickly, it shouldn't be a problem.

Dyson Airwrap vs. Supersonic: Their Similarities

• Both work with intelligent heat regulation technology. As a result, neither device overheats or burns the hair.
• Thanks to their latest innovation that keeps "unruly" hair at bay, the two devices effectively keep flyaways and frizz at bay.
• Both devices are safe and do not cause hair burns when used properly.
• You can hold both devices comfortably without them slipping out of your hand. However, the Airwrap weighs less than the Supersonic and is therefore more comfortable on the shoulders.

Dyson Airwrap vs. Supersonic: Which should you buy?

Ideally, you should get both devices if money is no object. Professional stylists obviously cannot choose one over the other because they are very special devices. The Supersonic Styler dries wet hair gently and without heat damage - something that the Airwrap does not do well.

The Airwrap, on the other hand, can perform many styling functions that the Supersonic cannot. However, if you only have to choose between the two devices, the Dyson Airwrap Styler is the best choice due to its multifunctionality and superior technology.
