PATTERN Blow Dryer vs Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer

The Dyson Supersonic Nural is the better dryer for most people: its Nural sensors cut heat automatically as the tool nears your scalp, it has four heat settings and five attachments, and it holds a 4.8 rating across about 18,000 reviews. The PATTERN is the more curl-focused tool, with a wide-tooth comb, brush, diffuser and concentrator built for coily and tight textures, plus a stronger 1875W AC motor. Build quality favors Dyson's engineering reputation; PATTERN owners praise fast drying and soft results but some find the heat too hot and the cool-shot control confusing.

• Choose the PATTERN Blow Dryer if you have curly, coily or tight-textured hair and want comb, brush, diffuser and concentrator attachments made for shaping and stretching your curls.
• Choose the Dyson Supersonic Nural if you want automatic heat control near the scalp, more heat settings and a lighter, quieter dryer backed by a huge review base.
