Questions and answers
- Which is better for curly or coily hair?
- The Supersonic r Curly+Coily. It is designed for that hair type, weighs 325g and has a ceramic coating. The HD08 is a general-purpose dryer.
- Which is easier to hold for a long time?
- The Supersonic r. At 325g it is roughly half the 0.66kg of the HD08, which matters during long detangling and styling sessions.
- Does the HD08 dry faster?
- On paper yes. It lists 13.3 airflow against 12.4 l/s for the r, and both use the same 110,000rpm motor. Real-world speed also depends on the attachment.
- Is the Supersonic r worth the extra?
- Only if weight and curly-hair styling matter most to you. No prices were given for either, so check current store prices on Deal.ai first.
- Can I use either one in the US?
- No. Both are listed at 220-240V or 230V and neither is dual voltage, so they need a 220-240V outlet.
- Which has more attachments?
- The HD08 ships with five intelligent magnetic attachments. The r's listing does not state a count.
