Pattern Blow Dryer Review & Comparison to the Dyson on Kinky Thick Hair | Is it Worth it? Real Tea

Pattern Beauty sent over their new blow dryer and I had to try it on my natural hair as I prepared to get braids. My natural hair is very thick and kinky so I was interested to see how it works on my hair and if it compares to the industry standard Dyson Blow dryer. I compare prices, attachments, heat settings, and results on my hair with a side-by-side view. This is the honest tea on the Pattern Beauty blow dryer, if it's worth it and if it does what it claims.

This is what the community needs….pure, genuine honesty…a person who’s “not for sale” I love it. New sub here 😊

[@iknowlee]

I appreciate that!

[@tonibelle3411]

Thanks for being transparent! I’m a Master Hairstylist and wanted to try the dryer, and was immediately concerned by the look of the comb and brush attachments. I thought the comb was too wide to achieve the necessary smoothness I’d need before proceeding with a flat iron or press. And after viewing your video, my concerns were proven. I commend Traci for her attempts and I do believe it will be great as is for all our sistah’s with mane’s that mimic Traci’s curls. Yet for our sistah’s with stronger, coarser curls, we need the comb attachment to be much much closer! And I can see the brush working better if the bristles were longer, it may be a little thicker to replicate the Denman Brush. With what I’ve been able to observe from Traci she seems to really care about our community and I hope she considers reviews like yours and makes or adds necessary changes for the heath and benefit of all our mane’s 😊 Transparency is caring! Enjoy

[@takeyadelapara8546]

LOVE THIS REVIEW. She didn’t talk too much, perfect review!!!

[@mspattywatty]

Thank U!! Finally a vlogger that said the quiet part out loud: a diffuser does absolutely NOthing for me either🤷🏽‍♀️- I look at them like, what the hellZ this s’posed ta do?! Ur hair texture is very similar to mine. Wonderful of u to go through each attachment step by step, I pretty much just played with it when I received mine in the mail. Your video feels like I have someone in the room explaining it all to me…..only in person…

[@Angela-il4td]

the hair, the brows beautiful sis!!

[@JM-pf3hx]

This is what I needed to see!

[@JanelleC427]

maybe for a smoother finish she should have turned on the ion feature with the brush attachment because I have similar textured hair and I know my hair is thick and fine and should be blown out with a round brush section by section. My hair texture baffles most amateur stylists and even not so amateur as well. I would also say detangling her hair while wet is actually better. I can see in the video her hair is dry. This is the problem with some of the reviews because she does not come off to be an experienced beautician so there is obviously a learning curve about how to handle her own hair. I appreciate this review none the less.

[@maylavernebarnes2007]

Thank you for this comparison review, it was niceandthorough. I hope they listen to your suggestions fror additional attachments. Your braids are beautiful! 😍

[@iknowlee]

me too.

[@abolishdrake]

I'm literally about to buy one of these at Sephora (during the savings event) and your video was just what i was looking for -- a review of both of the blowdryers I was contemplating getting! Tysm for this!

[@iknowlee]

I'm so glad!

[@a.sydney5036]

So a thing happened...a video from... ELEVEN YEARS AGO popped up on my feed. You look exactly the same! Gorgeous!

[@_trish_glam_muaa.4409]

Great comparison video! You covered everything i was wondering!! 😊

[@iknowlee]

I'm so glad!

[@ashleyfuega]

Thank you for this review!!

[@sambu41]

Great review, and the difference can definitely be seen. This has been very helpful.

[@iknowlee]

Thanks for watching!

ive been waiting for this comparison since pattern announced this hair dryer and this was perfect especially since you addressed everything i thought of

[@serenitybloom4294]

I wish i would have watched this video before we spent $200 on a blow dryer that can’t Get my hair straight enough so I can go through it.😞

@@serenitybloom4294so when i cant get mine straight enough i notice that it deals with my technique and the state of my hair before and by this i mean how good i washed my hair and the way i use the dryer and the attachments and how wet it is because as soon as i add or dry out some water and section my hair well i can almost get it and my roots bone straight which is an issue ive had with some other blow dryers and attachments too so if youd like to try again these might help if youre curious

[@BlkLadyChemist]

Thanks for this review! I have the Dyson blow dryer and I absolutely love it! I was wondering how the Pattern one compared since my friends often ask me about hair products and tools but of course I didn't plan on buying one LOL. Great job doing this review and you are correct, they need to add you to the team!

[@iknowlee]

You are so welcome!

[@glittergirljmm]

If you have type 4 hair, please explain why you like the dyson. I am in the market for a great dryer to help silk press my thick coily hair easily.

[@lolamaven3971]

Great review ! 👏🏾👌🏾

[@kylajuniel1692]

I totally agree. I used the Pattern dryer for the first time Friday and felt the same way about the wide tooth and brush attachments. As a tight coily the brush made me very uncomfortable. End result was stretched hair but not straight hair.

[@maryakioyame3296]

I'm so confused by this because stretched hair is blow dried hair and the pattern beauty is a blow-dry 🤣. Like make it make sense

[@UnderRatedBeauty88]

Happy to see someone with real type 4 hair share a review about this because I was a little skeptical.

[@iknowlee]

Yes.....I just think they need more attachments

[@FlySistah]

This is the exact comparison video I was looking for Dyson v Pattern dryer. I rarely blow dry my hair and instead roller set it prior to getting braids installed. I get a blowout at the salon (11 minutes with a Dyson) but generally don't even use my FHI blow dryer or my FHI Platform flat iron.

[@iknowlee]

I'm so glad!

[@tierrachristian1904]

Was definitely looking for this type of review with someone trying to lengthen their 4 type hair! Greatly appreciate this! On the website it says the wide tooth comb attachment is for lifting and volumizing curls (similar to a wide tooth comb), and the brush attachment (based on a detangling brush) is for lengthening. I wonder what your experience and results would be like if your hair was more damp and you started with the brush. I'd love to see her add another attachment with just the comb. I think it's great though that she came in and set their company apart with being dedicated to attachments that cater to styles that natural girlies typically wear, given that most blow dryers are catered to straightening.

[@iknowlee]

Yes, I think there needs to be some attachments added. Those are the only options I had. I don't think it would have been any different but I will give it a try one day. I think that would have made the process harder because the teeth aren't long on the shower detangling brush.

[@117god3]

Gorgeous!

[@carayj]

Thanks for review, given that Tracee Ellis Ross has a fine hair type maybe the hair dryer works better on those hair types. I cant see me paying $200 for the Pattern blow dryer, I seen in Ulta and wondered how it worked

[@oneflowerlover]

Thick tresses! Both styles were beautiful!

[@shelovesthemso6252]

Good, comprehensive video. The second I saw that wide-toothed comb attachment I thought “uh uh.” Us with thicker, coarser and more coily hair usually want smooth results. I can’t see how that tool could assist with that. I ask myself how that could’ve slipped through. I also wonder about the focus of their marketing. Anyway, this video does a great job at breaking the logistics of the dryer down. And, Lee says the dryer does what a $200 dryer should do and I accept that information. I think that if I would spend that kind of money on a hair dryer then I would just add to it and get the Dyson.

[@sbshortcake]

I find fine tooth combs get tangled in my hair, so I avoid most dryer comb attachments with small spaced teeth. I like the idea of a wide tooth comb attachment so that my hair doesn't get tangled and broken off. I have tightly curled (type 4) fine hair with medium density.

[@shoelady6457]

Thanks for sharing! 😁👍

[@coulorfully]

I very similar hair and Love soft bristle attachments, gets hair straighter. More bristles are good. So excited to try the brush attachment tho it’s not soft bristles

[@iknowlee]

You are so welcome!

[@chozen863]

I would like a shark vs pattern! I haven't started the video

[@shelovesthemso6252]

Lee, before I continue the video, I notice despite you getting braids often your edges are fully intact. I don’t see that often. May you please give some insight into your braider? I.e., are they a long time braider? Do they leave your edges loose? I can’t seem to find a braider who does the right things to preserve my edges. Now into the video.

[@iknowlee]

I take good care of my hair and I am very picky about who does it. I will give more insight on that.

[@linzeeb4]

Thank you! I love the concept and look of the dryer but am skeptical about the wide tooth and brush versus a more typical fine tooth comb attachment. It seems like the wide tooth might be good to dry my roots for a wash n go because my hair takes forever to dry. But I'm not buying a whole blow dryer for just that.

[@pengting87]

Video starts at 6:47

[@user-xh8qt3ez5s]

Thank you ❤

[@iknowlee]

No problem

[@Angelinesekle]

I really think you would’ve had better results on wet hair. Could you do another review but on wet hair? Anytime I blow dry my hair when it’s already dry, the results are never as good

[@iknowlee]

my hair is wet

[@Angelinesekle]

@@iknowlee oh my apologies. I wasn’t clear, I meant like using the brush attachment from the stat while it’s wet instead of after you use the wide comb attachment

[@Dira501]

I was thinking the same thing, there is no way her hair is wet, it may have been damp. It looked the same to me except her hair wasn’t as elongated but it didn’t look like she started from the ends to the root to stretch it out a little more. Being as the comb was wider starting from the bottom may have helped.

[@NewMoon1972]

@@Dira501 also I wonder if smaller sections for thicker hair would yield a better result.

[@Dira501]

@@NewMoon1972 that def would give better results, I’m waiting on a review from an actual licensed cosmetologist.

[@Rose-re9tn]

I believe you used the wrong attachment. The shorter attachment works much better.

[@77Malawi]

Was thinking about getting the dryer but I think I would rather get the Dyson. Btw where do you get your braids done? They are everything ❤

[@iknowlee]

Check out my IG for the braid details. I always go to the same braider,

[@ShaeMauri]

Your braids be 🔥. Just curious if you've tried the RevAir hair dryer?

[@iknowlee]

Yes I have one and I like it outside of the size.

[@reginaeiland9358]

The only thing I wish you would have shared is how your hair feels afterwards. I bought the 1st Rev and to this day cannot understand the hype. I ended up selling on Ebay a year later. $400 down the drain. Only used it a handful of times when I had it. Left both me and my daughters hair feeling dry, wirery and completely void of moisture no matter how long or short or what settings I set to. This among the involuntary body work you will get while using it. Can you share how your hair felt afterwards including the day after before your braids? Please and thank you! BTW beautiful braids you wear them well and classy. New subbie.

[@iknowlee]

It feels the same as it normally does when I blow dry it.

[@maureen06406]

I’ve never been charged for blow drying my hair before braiding wow

[@shannongillespie4564]

Thank you

[@Tamyra730]

Yes, the way you describe your hair. I knew I was watching the right video. It's unfortunate it won't work for me either. They need you at the at the next meeting.

[@iknowlee]

Knappy and thick

[@kakishisfriend1126]

Thank you! I was looking for dyson vs patfern. Dyson is the clear winner!

[@iknowlee]

You are so welcome!

[@sugarfreenow]

I am trying to decide whether to buy the pattern blow dryer or Revair

[@iknowlee]

Ohhhh that’s a totally different stand off. Two very different products

[@ms.offi5halvetacorleon649]

I know it would not work on my insane hair it’s for Tračee Ross hair not mine and my hair is almost all types mixed in on one head I truly don’t even wanna do my hair anymore 😩

[@iknowlee]

I understand the feeling don't give up on your hair though. You just have to find what works and do it consistently

[@altheadawn2531]

Try the Revlon brush dryer and the yellow bird blow dryer It's good for prior with 4c kinky hair I brought the Revlon one so far

[@hijegeueu]

Did you use the ion button?

[@iknowlee]

Yes, I used it in the video

[@612mzindependent]

Ugh!! See I got the Dyson and the attachment keep popping off literally just popping off while going through my hair 😭😭😭maybe I’m using it wrong

[@iknowlee]

That's crazy because I've never had that happen. the magnet is strong.

[@cfoster6804]

Pattern blow dryer is for curly hair not coily. They tried though.

[@iknowlee]

I think they have something here and could expand on it

[@MKdeeva]

It’s not for type 4 hair

[@iknowlee]

Oh okay.

[@PINKDiva88]

You didn't blow dry your hair correctly. Nor did your prep your hair for the blow drying. It's easy to say the dryer doesn't' work for you when you don't take the popper steps to get the best results. Where is your blow dry cream? Why are you blow drying dry hair? Tension is what elongates your hair during blow drying. Hence why BRUSHES ARE NORMALLY USED. You were supposed to use the brush attachment.

[@iknowlee]

My hair is dry, her heat protectant was used and I think it works just not as well as my Dyson. Brushes don't work well on my hair and add volume so it's not ideal for me.

[@PINKDiva88]

@iknowlee You are not supposed to blow dry your hair while it's dry. If you do that , it will keep whatever shape it was in prior to your blow drying it. Also, if you insist on doing that, use a moisturizing blow dry cream. You need to add moisture to your hair before you add a blow dryer to it.
