People are convinced this hairdryer is just as good as the Dyson one - and it's half the price
Since its release in 2016, we’ve been obsessing over the Dyson Supersonic hairdryer with its ability to give you a salon blow-dry at home without the headache from the noise, as well as majorly envying anyone who had £300 to spend on one.
But now our prayers could be answered, with Australian women hailing the stylish Remington Air 3D Hair Dryer just as good - and it's only half the price.
The so very-on-trend rose gold design retails at £199, and promises to cut down drying time, giving you that salon finish we all long for.
Beauty bloggers have since been posting their reviews all over Instagram, and overall, they seem pretty impressed.
Australia’s Bachelor in Paradise star, Keira Maguire, said the dryer helped tame the unwanted frizz and left her hair luscious (her hair is luscious anyway, so we’re not convinced just yet).
“In between blow-dries, I need to take care of my hair and this is the perfect tool, it leaves my hair silky smooth and gets rid of flyaways,” she said.
Other praises of the product include models and influencers including lifestyle blogger, Alex Cuthill, claiming the dryer left them “mind blown.”
Shoppers also left reviews online, claiming the dryer can do just as good as the Dyson.
“Bought this as a surprise gift for my partner as she is always moaning about frizzy hair. She thinks this hairdryer is the best one she has ever had. And it's just as good and half the price of the Dyson,” one buyer wrote.
Another said: “Would highly recommend. For so long was thinking of buying the Dyson hairdryer after hearing reviews and about the whole drying experience. Then I see this product, similar design. Light, powerful, leaves your hair soft and dries in no time. Can't fault it.”
While £199 still isn’t considered cheap for a hairdryer, if you were thinking about splashing out for a Dyson one but can’t justify the hefty price tag, the Remington take on it definitely sounds like a great alternative.
