When testing, we time the speed of drying from freshly washed hair to fully dry (noting the hair length and texture we test on); and evaluate the overall ease of use, noise, and the finish and feel of the hair after drying. Using equipment such as anemometers, infrared heat sensors and sound level meters allows us to directly compare the speed, heat and noise levels of different dryers. We also note how well curls, waves and straight styles last in a typical day of wear. Finally, we confirm the weight and dimensions of the tool.

Since launch, Dyson has also added a range of attachments to join the nozzles and diffuser. The “Gentle air dryer” attachment resembles the hem of a skirt and uses its waves to diffuse the airflow, making it softer without reducing drying time; it’s perfect for fine or damaged hair. A new wide-tooth comb attachment, designed for curly or coily hair, detangles the hair while drying to prevent damage and make it easier to style.Key specs – Heating element: Ionic; Temperature settings: 4; Power: 1,600W; Speed settings: 3; Cable length: 2.7m; Cold shot button: Yes; Accessories: Concentrator, diffuser and smoothing nozzles; Weight: 690g Ceramic Ionic – This technology contributes to healthier, static and frizz free results. The combined effect of CERAMICS with a NEGATIVE ION charge permits heat to be radiated directly inside the hair, without drying out the hair’s external structure. The ceramic ionic technology preserves the natural moisture in the hair, making it shinier, softer and healthier. With an incredible 2250 watts of power and a revolutionary K-Advance Plus motor, the Parlux ALYON offers a massive 84m3/h of perfectly aligned airflow. As a result, hair dries faster and also more smoothly, giving a finish that is truly unparalleled. The draw of the particular model I tested was the patent-pending Magic Sense Special Diffuser, said to “revolutionize how you dry curls and style hair, for a breath-taking finish.” Apparently, it’s all down to the size and spacing of openings, which deliver the perfect balance of temperature and airflow. The diffuser is a generous size with 15 massaging prongs that lift and separate the hair, meaning I could work through my wet mop in larger sections and cut my drying time.
