The only area in which all of our testers agreed. Tester (type two hair) - 'I had to go over some sections a few times with the Dysons despite using the same technique.' Which is easier to use? The tester with type two hair said despite using the 210☌ setting on the Dyson, as recommended, she still had to go over sections again and her curls dropped quickly.

The testers that preferred the GHDs felt that, despite the Dyson producing more natural looking curls, they were harder to use and the curls fell out quicker. The top images are the curling results with the GHDs and the bottom images are the results with the Dyson However, one tester did note that they wouldn't be great for novices because the bulkiness of the product made them more difficult to use. Once the technique was perfected, both testers felt the curls they created with the Dyson looked consistent and neat. Tester (type four hair) - 'Eventually I found that the curls I was able to create using the Dyson were more defined.' When we asked our testers with type one and type four hair why they preferred the Dyson for curling they said that their hair glided through the plates nicely, with no stray hairs slipping out. One of our testers with type four hair didn't carry out this test as her hair is already very curly and she isn't experienced with this curling method. Like straightening, the result on curling was inconclusive with two testers preferring the GHDs and two preferring the Dyson. Tester (type one hair) - ' One pass with the Dyson made the hair almost dead straight and it was much quicker than when I normally straighten my hair to get the desired look.' Curling: how they size up The other tester told us it took them slightly longer to straighten with the GHDs.

The tester with type four hair said it took only two passes to get her desired straightness compared to three passes with the GHDs. The main factor that made testers with type one and type four hair prefer the Dyson was the speed at which it straightened. However, testers with type two and type four hair both felt that the Dyson plates snagged on their hair during use. The Dyson claims to have flexing copper plates that gather hair more easily.
