Ok. I need to stop this video, cook breakfast and watch this on the big TV downstairs. 🍿

[@esta8651]

🙏

[@ajellison13]

Hey friend! Just for clarification - lower watts = more energy conservation … which is why Dyson/Shark (more expensive) were in the “bottom” because they are conserving more energy and using less electricity. For example, ppl now use “LED” light bulbs because the Watts is wayyyyyy less than traditional light bulbs without affecting its brightness. It can be misleading to think that just because the watts are higher the product is better 😬 everything else was very informative though ☺️

[@SHESOMAJOR]

The Dyson by far has been man's gift to the curls. The cost is very prohibitive, but I chunked it up to being an investment in my mental health. Ain't no one tryna walk around with wet hair all day. I def got my monies worth when I calculate cost per use. I use it every single week and it has not failed me yet! Great video as always.

[@Knd238]

I 100% agree with you, it’s so fast!!

[@Sun.n.Flowers]

Is TYMO a good dupe for Dyson?

[@ijn1216]

On what hair curl pattern

[@pgdi82]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS VIDEO!! The level of research and detail... wow! Just WOW!!! Amazing work, Bianca! Especially because it's quite a long video and I can only imagine how challenging it must have been to shoot it with a toddler and a baby in the house. It's a pity we cannot get all of these diffusers here in Europe. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the Curlsmith, I just love the size of the diffuser!

[@MoonK.]

I love my Dyson and Pattern diffusers , I reach for the Pattern dryer more because of the attachment that wide tooth attachment that looks like a pick , my hair dries in 10-15 min just as my dyson but my roots be reaching to the curl gods when I use Pattern I LOVE it . I KNOOOOW I dont NEEEED it but I want the curl smith one to add to my little collection lol

[@leiaduncan7084]

I loved my Revlon. It did only last 4 years before burning out (used lowest settings) but like you said, it’s $25!!

[@brittredman777]

This was super interesting! I have the curlsmith and I want to love it but I always reach for my bed head diffuser that I got an amazon for just $24.99. Best results in the shortest amount of time!

[@curlmoedee]

Thank you for this! Hearing that they all have relatively similar drying times, I’m super happy that I went with the Pattern Beauty blow dryer. It’s safe for my curls & I’m supporting a black owned brand!

[@joshuad937]

I legit dropped my jaw when the curlsmith dryer kick stand was activated lol.

[@raushanalegree1419]

I am a hairstylist and I have the curlsmith dryer and I love it over the dyson for curly, coily and wavy hair. The Dyson is great for other styling. Thank you Biance this was a great video.

[@dorischakra]

Thank you for saying this! I heard some people say it gives them more frizz than the Dyson. Has that been your experience with clients?

[@karine8738]

Can you help me please. I need a lightweight and not noisy hairdryer and my hairdresser has the Gama one. I don't know which one between the Gama, the Curlsmith or the Bellissima too. Did you ever try the Gama ? Thanks

[@Shvnicesmith]

this was so helpful!!! def leaning towards the curl smith hairdryer!! the cord length was a major factor for me! thank you so much for this video!!

[@hopiiii1]

Great video My young family member visited from out of town. She has long long thick curls. She loved my Curlsmith dryer so I gave it to her. Ordered a new one with the Ulta Memorial Day 20% coupon. It came yesterday. It has been revamped The handle is much smaller, lighter and very easy to hold. Own the Dyson but this new iteration of Curlsmith is amazing. Highly recommend it. Ulta occasionally gives 20% coupons if you get their emails.

[@TWS1977]

I am leaning towards the Pattern one

[@lacigarcia8946]

I don't diffuse very often, but I have a cheap little Revlon one. It does the job and it's nice to know it competes well with the fancy expensive ones! Thank you for the comparison video!

[@lesliegg]

The wattage doesn’t really say much about the power of the motor but how much electricity it uses!! So the lower wattage ones are probably just most efficient. Especially seeing as the Dyson seemed to be one of the lower wattage ones, I bet it’s just got a more efficient motor that doesn’t need to draw as much power. Kinda like how LED bulbs are more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs but that doesn’t mean they can’t output more light! I wish we could get some info about like RPM’s of the motors or something like that to measure which one is more powerful and can generate the most air/heat etc lol.

[@brittanygossard3339]

The shark air also remembers your setting based on what you used last

[@mm-best9997]

I love my Dyson but one thing I’d love to know is the long term effects on your hair from each one. Dyson’s technology has always been impressive for me. Manes by Mel did a whole video on it. I think that’s something to keep in mind when buying any blow dryer. Yes price is important BUT long term effect on your hair is more

[@Kim-ki9dr]

My cheap 20 dollar one from Walmart has been holding is down for the last 10 years. I do think my curls would look even more amazing if I got a new one though.

[@angelquinterovibe]

YAAAAS.. Been waiting on this one 😊... Thank you!!!

[@stephanieh5494]

Thanks for the work that went into this video. Really great to have each model being discussed right in front of you. I went from a basic Revlon to the Curlsmith a few weeks after it was released. It was love 💚💚💚💚💚 from day one. I have long, thick curls and the size of the diffuser is wonderful. Also love that it is not too noisy; can still rock out while drying. I tend to be frugal and it is worth every penny paid.

[@dagmarramirez2696]

Great video! I have the Curlsmith one and I love it! My hair is pretty thick and it dries my hair in about 35-40mins (I am heavy handed with applying products) so I would say that’s pretty good dry time!

[@habibasharawy1643]

Some people say it gives frizz, is that the case with you?

[@2k11Emma]

What I took from this is the Curlsmith one is the best! Happy coz that’s the one I bought 😅 thank you for all your hard work Bianca 😊, I know it must have taken a few hours to research and test ❤❤❤ Standout features - doesn’t burn hair - love and trust the curlsmith brand - has the stand

[@ashkeniasims1840]

Love this! My 1st diffuser was the revlon one- I hate it. I felt like it would take forever & I hated that I had to keep pressing the cool shot. Nxt I got the Dyson (bday present from my hubby😍😍) I love my Dyson! *Tip: if u want to use just the cool shot (only) u can keep pressing the heat seating til there is no lights on & that’s the cool shot! I love my Dyson!

[@NancyJGH]

Which of all these hair dryers give you the most volume, definition. How does your hair looks like after drying with each one???

[@jessicapierson9817]

HUGELY helpful video… thank you!

[@Mrstriplejranch]

I think I’m going with the Curlsmith. It seems the best overall when you consider all the factors. Very helpful video, thanks!

[@suitelady24]

Thank you for all the work you put into this video. It was very informative and helpful. 💜💜💜💜 I'm totally ordering the Revlon dryer until I'm able to be bougie enough to afford the Dyson! 😂😂😂

[@Jade1_S]

I got sold on the Curlsmith hairdryer from your video and then discovered that where I live it is $100 more than the Shark. So now I’m on round two of watching your video 😆.

[@ossier2796]

I have an old Hana Air with a Sally Universal Diffuser and it’s a bit heavy but I only use my diffuser for my ends after sitting under my hooded dryer.

[@ashleylloyd8071]

I have the flex style and I LOVE it!!! I love that it has a no heat setting (it also remembers your previous settings). I like switching my hair up and blowing it out every few months but I don’t flat iron my hair. I use the oval brush on the flex style and it does a great job! And there are so many other attachments! And I love the depth of the shark diffuser and how long the prongs get. That was one of the selling points since I feel like the dyson-esque bowls are too shallow and the prongs are too short.

[@xochitlfregoso3260]

Great video! I’m trying to decide between the Pattern and the Curlsmith and this video has been informative, but not the tie breaker I was looking for 😂

[@sneakerteacher89]

Through my eyes: Dyson’s power is best but breaks down easily and is too damn expensive to be breaking down in less than a year; also the diffuser is too damn small. Customer service is also super trash. Curlsmith air power isn’t strong enough for my thick hair and the diffuser falls off constantly. It’s good for handless drying tho. Deva curl is better for 3C-4C hair because looser curls fall through it easily and it was a pain in the ass so it takes an eternity to dry.

[@gaemarinelli4899]

Hi. In Australia the Dyson Supersonic is $499 & the Shark Flexistyle is only $100 less at $300. So really not much cheaper. But I love all the comparisons- thanks.

[@gabbybove218]

The watts on a blowdryer indicates how fast it can dry your hair not how strong the flow is but how powerful it is. As a professional hairstylist we need over 1800 watts. When I first starting doing hair I was using one that was under 1800 and it took forever to do someones blow out lol

[@MixxyGirl]

I love this comparison video! I have the deva dryer. That was my go to for years, then I upgraded to the dyson. I want to get the curl smith dryer because of the big diffuser.

[@InuyashaVsLoveless]

I need to see a half head pattern vs curlsmith because I am honestly so torn between those two even after going back and watching each of their videos on your channel. 😅

[@pawsandperrospodcast]

SAME here

[@lashailalevingston]

I’ve been waiting for this video!!

[@tallgirl195]

I wish you would have done a dry time test with the 3 you thought are comparable, but otherwise this video was really helpful! I can't bring myself to get the Dyson after missing all the sales/coupons so I think I'll go for the Curlsmith.

[@MGeeDesigns]

Curlsmith for diffuser size and the kickstand/hands-free option.

[@RamatoulieBo]

It was the day before the Sephora sale I was about to lose my mind and buy the Dyson (and cry that the Pattern blow dryer wasn’t at Sephora yet cuz I get 20%) when I was walking thru Costco and saw the Shark Hyperair at the best price I’d ever seen it 🙏🏼 and that’s now Costco made my diffuser decision for me 🤣 Costco technically makes all my adult decisions for me

[@mthornton2046]

Have the Dyson (old faithful), have T3 but the diffuser kept breaking off, $30 to replace the broken plastic piece. Just ordered the Curlsmith for the large bowl and happy to hear that the cool shot stays on🎉 got that one for $24 after cashing in my Ulta points and 20% off ❤ Now I want to buy Revlon just because 😂

[@habibasharawy1643]

So which one is the best in your opinion

[@AlinaSamusi]

If you travel a lot, dyson is out because it doesn’t work internationally, even with a current converter. If you look at the specs, most major brands have 120-240V and all you need is an outlet adapter, but Dyson makes specific versions for America at 120V and for rest of the world at 240V. Learned this the hard way in Europe last year, and carried it around for no reason.

[@courtneywilliams2751]

I'm trying to find a good blow dryer for international travel, so I feel your pain! So few reviews on inexpensive dual voltage dryers.

[@amandanunes4814]

Have you checked the Tymo Hair Dryer? All youtube videos with reviews are paid ones, I'm a little skeptical. Has anyone tried it yet?

[@BELLATORILINDA]

The most important feature 4me would b air flow versatility ❤

[@adrianaeden7213]

Thank you for making this video, very informative. I have a Revlon diffuser, it gets the job done. I may get the Curlsmith as my next dryer. Thank you again for all your hard work.😊

[@AskCoachK]

I love your dedication to making sure we have all the info we need for healthy curls. This video took a LOT of work and research, and you DID that thang! 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 I have the Dyson, bc while I'm frugal, there are certain things that are just worth it. However, If I had this video at the time, I may have gone for the Pattern dryer, possibly the curlsmith one (didn't exist yet at the time), however I don't really love the giant bowl (it looks bigger than my actual head 😂). I had the Revlon until I got the dyson (your affordable recommendation back in the day), and it worked well, but the dyson is definitely a faster dry and helps when I have to get my hair diffused at a late hour. I get nervous traveling with my dyson though (i dont want to break it), so I pull out the Revlon or my traveling diffuser attachment bc I know I can replace those more easily if something happens to them.

[@nydiam3909]

Bianca always coming to save the day with her videos!! Thank you!

[@Musicnotesbysam]

Wattage does not equal power to the machine. Think about how light bulbs say what watts it is but what wattage it performs as. Dyson as a company keeps their wattage low for safety and eco but powerful and effective.

[@marihenri4589]

Have you tried the Laifen blow dryer??? I love it!!! Would love to see your thoughts on it!!!

[@majdahbin-salamon4489]

Bianca, girl, first, let me thank you for doing such a full comprehensive video on all of these hair dryers!!👏🏽👏🏽 I definitely appreciate it!! I know that took a lot of work. And some of the ones you reviewed were actually on my list to buy/try. I have the Shark FlexStyle and I love it! The price for the FlexStlyer is tolerable considering all the hair tools you get with it and plus, Idk how to curl my hair with a curling iron so the airwrap feature helps me out on my blowout days. I do need a backup blow dryer just in case and after watching this, I think I may get that $25 Revlon! Thanks for your insight and research, babe!!😘😘

[@natrlchallenge]

I am tired of these companies adding attachments and changing the name of the dryers. Why not make one dryer and pay for the newest attachments?

[@cynthiawatson3808]

Thanks for the informative video. Question: what do you use when traveling and does the collapsible diffuser fit?

[@angelag669]

I never go the Deva Dryer but I did get a knockoff diffuser in the shape of a hand. I still use it to dry my roots. I have been saving up Ulta points so I can get the Dyson. I have wanted one for so long and now I am close.

[@YukisNation]

I just wanna know which one will dry my hair the fastest 😫

[@juicy1219]

Thank you for including the weights at the end! This video was literally perfect

[@alicesings1971]

Excellent work and very through! I’m glad you mentioned how heavy the Curlsmith diffuser is. They make a 6 inch one that looks more my style. Exceptional researched video.

[@sandrasnyder935]

I ❤❤❤ my Curlsmith one! I have the Dyson one and I like to use it too for quick drying from very wet hair and no time to air dry. But my go to most of the time is CurlSmith

[@Chelly0514]

Omg thank you for this!!!!! Because I am stressed last minute researching this to catch Black Friday sales

[@patricecampos7025]

Dyson has $100 off their blow dryers til December 31st!

[@Jessica_Jones]

Possibly the best hair video ever! Well-researched, a fabulous selection of products to compare, and so darn entertaining, haha! **Subscribed** This was SO helpful!! I'll confess that for all of the beneficial features of a given product, I really am drawn to the pretty designs, particularly the Prussian blue Dyson and beautiful peachy brown Pattern dryer 😍 You've helped me to look past that and consider a number of other factors I often tend to forget or can't easily find out without purchasing! Between noise level, diffuser size, buttons and cord length, it's looking like the Curlsmith will be my jam. Thank you!!

[@samanthagb93]

I think you just sold me the curlsmith one!

[@Angie_Onaleta]

With the Dyson, you don't have to hold to cool shot, you can just turn off the heat and use the regular fan. 😅 to me, it doesn't feel any different using the button or turning off the heat. (Edit: the Dyson also has a chip in it that cools it if the temp in your hair gets too hot) I think I use mine too much 😅😅😅😅😅

[@seraisevua1684]

This was a super interesting video thanks Bianca! I have one that isn't mentioned, the Phillips 5000 and has so many pro's including a long cord, 20% faster drying time, ion technology and thermoshield technology to protect against heat damage. It is also super light. I bought it almost a year ago and I love it!

[@shelleygunderson738]

I love my Tymo professional dryer. It has 4 Temps and 3 speeds, digital screen, dedicated cool on/off and is compact good for travel.

[@serena_bee]

It’s the curl smith for me ❤

[@lyrika1862]

I just bought Tymo’s new airhype and it is awesome I love it. Similar to the dyson without the high price ($199) diffuser is similar to the shark where it has the adjustable prongs I love how powerful it is but yet still quiet jz like the dyson. My favorite feature is the cool shot room temp setting which gets nice and cool. I have even used it to fan myself on hot days when doing my hair.

[@kimberleythigpen761]

I am really interested in theTYMO so I’m glad to see your comment. How is the weight of it? I just ordered the shark and it is really heavy so I am probably going to send it back. @lyrika

[@Johnsont2013]

I’ve had the Deva dryer for several years and the dryer itself is pretty strong. The hand shaped diffuser was definitely innovative at the time but it’s super limiting when it comes to drying time and the way you can actually use the dryer. I’m hoping to upgrade to the pattern dryer at some point but unfortunately ms tracee didn’t opt to sell it in Canadian Sephora😢

[@bajanbreezy]

Just a note you could of tested each of the sounds over playing a snippet of music as if you are trying to do a grwm and jam.

[@deborahechols5742]

I love my Dyson. It’s not bulky. It gets my hair dry in less than 10 minutes. The heat setting and air flow buttons work independently and you can turn off the heat instead of using the cool shot. I was afraid to get the Pattern because of the terrible experience I had with the hair products.

[@InfallibleGrace]

I have the conair infinite pro Natural texture styling system blow dryer & i LOVE IT 37$

[@karac.a.]

I stopped using devacurl products because they were running my hair but I will say that hand diffuser is a life saver for me (I don't have their dryer just the diffuser attachment). It gives great volume at the roots and it's the only thing that will actually dry them. It cuts down hours on my drying time. I use a regular diffuser first and then switch to the deva one ❤❤❤

[@jwillis97]

Love my current blowdryer, but I have a silicone diffuser attachment and it pops off from time to time and I lost the other attachments over time😅 Potentially looking for an affordable replacement soon so this video was super helpful!

[@sarahcox1805]

This was SO HELPFUL!!! I'm in the market for a new dryer and having all of these compared in one video was a lifesaver.

[@Sasha.Hennequin]

I have the Dyson only because it's the only good quality diffuser available in Australia. We don't have access to buy any of the others. I especially wanted the Curlsmith dryer because I love their products but they haven't allowed Aussie distributors to stock their dryers

[@harmonious.balance]

Great video! If you want to off load one of them, I can swing by...I'm in L.A I'll just add that stylists are often the target audience for durability, energy efficiency and performance. They are using these dryers all day everyday. That's why I'm never in a rush to buy rhe more expensive ones. I am curious about Pattern's dryer rhough.

[@TaylorG1998]

I just got the TYMO Air Lyte it’s a Dyson dupe. The tymo diffuser attachment is till on the way.

[@nataliastaley8406]

Hello ❤love your videos. I’m curious what are your thoughts on the rev air hair dryer ? I know it’s more for straight hair but I wanted to know your opinion.

[@a.mariedixon-jenkins]

Thank you so much for your time spent on putting together this excellent video. My blow dryer is pretty old and I have forgotten the brand name. I haven’t used it since I stopped relaxing my hair over 4 years ago. I am in the market for a new blow dryer and this video has definitely helped. Thank you again!

[@Ajm0raleez]

Love this video, thanks for the research and review. Still torn between choosing the Pattern, Curlsmith, and Shark flex one😭

[@sophiaaloeristok]

The time you out in to this video for us, THANK YOU ❤

[@heymssmithers]

You really make me want to get either the Pattern or the Curlsmith ones.

[@benfox6292]

I haven’t ever tried diffusing yet as I don’t have a hair dryer but I might have to get one of these.

[@melaniea.3767]

Best video I have seen with actual information I look for in a blow dryer!!! Maybe it helped that you asked everyone what they wanted to know and you delivered!!! I love that you were not biased to just one in particular. It was a lot of information for multiple hairdryers, thank you for helping us decide! 🤗♥️ Also, I’ve had Revlon multiple times and they never disappoint, I only steer away when I want to treat myself and be bougie but let’s be honest they get the job done! Revlon stays in the same price range and gives you what you need…hot/cold,two to three settings, cool shot button, the diffuser and the concentration nozzle. I have always gone to the same one it’s grey and black I believe it is for volume and shine. You will not regret buying one.

[@rare2b]

I wonder if the Curl Smith diffuser fits the Deva Curl Blow dryer

[@mayram4779]

Thank you! Thanks for the energy and time invested. Very helpful!

[@sleepybenzene]

No bc not all hero’s wear capes! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@IramShah-m4l]

Please can you do your labour and recovery story for baby number 2 :) I’ve had similar experiences to you for baby number one. I was curious to know if it was a different experience to baby number two or not 🥰 thank you!

[@WilliamsLiz]

Hey curl friends, I am literally on the market for a new dryer. Spent my Saturday night watching videos. This new video came out just in time. I was thinking of getting the Ion Luxe and after this video I still am. I think the Dyson is way to expensive. I think the Curlsmith would be to huge for me to handle. Thank you so much Bianca, this was great, as always very informative.

[@brittanybuster4311]

How long should I wait after I put product in before I diffuse?

[@tonieastman9768]

SUPER HELPFUL!! Thank you for doing what I couldn't! Great research. Would be cool to see how curly folks with shorter hair felt about some of the dryers you reviewed regarding button positioning. Shorter hair changes where your hand and head are positioned when your hair is shorter than shoulder length, but you still diffuse.

[@Jessica_Jones]

Not sure if this is helpful but I have just-above-shoulder-length hair and the $25-30 Conair I have with all the buttons on front are still what I prefer. The cool shot is right at my thumb (or index finger depending on how it's positioned) so I don't mind terribly that I have to hold it down when in use :) ...One thing I will miss though if I ever upgrade is the retractable cord!

[@amixeblu]

Could you put on the diffuser head on the Shark Flex when it's stretched out. Might be useful.

[@aminaa5824]

The Dyson airwrap has as much attachments as the shark and it has a diffuser now also (sold separately but still)

[@courtneyhaas2846]

😂 the apple comment killed me 😂 i like my curlsmith diffuser, just wish it wasn't so expensive

[@nhouse7962]

Wow, you did your research! Thanks for all your hard work on this video! And I think I know my next blow dryer by this video and your comments, Curlsmith!

[@divinethrash4206]

Thank you for this! I just bought the Dyson! My stylist used it and I fell in love with it! Big upgrade from my revlon! I should’ve known curl smith and pattern had blow dryers! Oh well! I’m sure I’ll get my money’s worth with the Dyson!

[@CD-xq1lc]

I just knew the laifen would be included. This review is gold

[@dantedante1111]

Very insightful well executed video! thank you!!!

[@eileenbrazier1597]

This was great info!!

[@veronicaescobar3507]

THANK YOU FOR ALL THIS INFO ....BUT I STILL DO NOT KNOW IF i SHOULD GET PATTERN OR CURLSMITH? 🤔

[@Love-Peace-Joy]

Thanks for the info !!!!!!

[@Beanfromtexas1]

❤thank you for making this video.
