Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer - Red

Product Information

As a general rule, the more powerful a dryer is, the hotter the element will get and the faster it can blow-dry your hair. However, this doesn't take into account technology, such as airflow concentrators and brushless motors, plus extreme heat causes damage, so bigger isn’t necessarily better when it comes to power. As a general guide, the best hair dryers have more than 1500W of power, though some high-tech options cut this right down. The red blinking light on your Dyson hair dryer can signify different things, depending on the frequency of the flashes. Here’s what each pattern might indicate: Flash Pattern Authorized Dyson Repair Centers are a great choice if you’d like to preserve your warranty. They have expert technicians who specialize in Dyson products and can use genuine Dyson parts. Expect to pay more for repairs at an authorized service center than at an independent third-party repair service.

If your Dyson hair dryer is blinking red and blue, or the red light won’t turn on, it could be due to overheating. The Dyson hair dryer is equipped with an intelligent heat control system that ensures the device doesn’t overheat and cause harm to the user. When the hair dryer detects overheating, it will automatically stop functioning. This is when the red blinking light comes on.

Checking the Filter

As well as three heat and two speed options, there’s a cool shot and a booster button that ramps up the airflow for fast rough drying. We did find this makes the dryer noisier, but not to the extent that we felt the need to apologise to our neighbours. It comes with two styling nozzles and one diffuser – generous considering the price –and yielded a nice daily blow-dry in as much time as you would expect from any dryer.

It is best to prevent overheating to avoid potential damage to your hair dryer. Here are a few tips: Ionic hair dryers: One of the most popular features in modern dryers and with good reason. Our hair has a natural positive charge, which causes frizz and static. Ionic hair dryers release a stream of negative ions, which grab onto the positive ones and neutralise them for a smoothing effect. Ions can also help reduce drying time as they break down positive ions in the water in your hair, dispersing it so you can dry for less time on a lower heat, thus reducing damage.While several models blew us away (if you'll pardon the pun), several options that we tested didn't make the final cut. We also found that the cordless and bonnet hair dryers we tried did not live up to their claims, and therefore could not feature in our best hair dryer edit. The white and red lights on a Dyson hair dryer will flash if the device tries to communicate something to you.
