I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

The spousal unit has one and loves it. Does not have naturally curvy or thick hair. It was purchased at a Dyson store where they do all the monogram nonsense and such but they also spent almost 45 minutes with her demoing it and showing her exactly how to do it which she absolutely needed judging from all the corrections the staff kept making to her technique.

So if you have one, go down to the Dyson store where they have the salon built in and get them to demo it on you.

I think even if it gave amazing long lasting results every time, I would probably still think it’s not worth the price. To me anyway, it feels like a clumsy device that doesn’t feel natural to hold or use. Plus it takes forever to do a whole head. I feel like Dyson gaslight customers saying “oh you’re not using it right” or “your hair isn’t right” when in actual fact if you’re paying close to £500 for a supposedly “complete” product then you expect it to at least take some responsibility for how your hair looks at the end of styling it. I’m not expecting it to be like a magic wand and just transform my hair by just existing near my head but surely I shouldn’t need training to properly use it?

But hey, everyone is different and so is everyone’s hair. And if you like it, great! If you buy it and you find you don’t like it then you can always return it.
