We didn’t even have to sacrifice hair quality and shine for this improved speed, either. Again, a minute faster than the Dyson Supersonic. With the concentrator nozzle attached to the Helios – a nozzle which has been made thinner with a curved edge designed to reduce turbulence – it took us just two minutes and 20 seconds to style our hair. The Helios was similarly a minute and eight seconds faster than the Supersonic at drying our hair after a swim, offering a total dry time of 1 minute and 50 seconds. This meant our hair was rough dried in 1 minute and 6 seconds and is an absolute game changer. The Helios took an entire minute off this time. Until the Helios, the Dyson Supersonic was the fastest dryer – taking our hair from wet from a shower to completely dry in 2 minutes 6 seconds. Not just in comparison to the Air, but when pitted against the drying speeds of every hair dryer we’ve ever tested. When it comes to speed, the Helios similarly smashed it out of the park. It is noticeably less loud in real-world use, and when measured with a decibel meter, it’s a whole two decibels quieter than the Air. We’ve already confirmed it’s lighter, but does it live up to the other claims? Yes – very much so! Its motor is marginally more powerful – up from 2,100w on the Air to 2,200w – and the holes in its grille have apparently been redesigned to reduce noise. GHD claims its Helios is “faster, lighter and quieter” than the Air. A feeling that even its elegant colorways and smooth shell can’t quite counteract.Įverything else, including the placement of the two-speed and dual-temperature switches, the cold shot button and the branded grille are almost an exact copy and paste from the Air. The Helios’ light weight, by contrast, feels just like many of the other cheaper hair dryers on the market. The extra weight on the GHD Air made it feel expensive and sturdy, which helped us to rationalise its high price. What’s more, where – on paper – it’s heavier than other dryers we’ve tested, the Helios is incredibly well-balanced so it doesn’t feel any more bulky and it isn’t any more difficult to use.
Weight-wise, the Helios is lighter than the Air tipping the scales at 780g compared to its predecessor’s 1.54kg. The different colored versions of GHD Helios’ plastic shell are additionally covered in a thin coating that feels almost like silicone to the touch and this gives the dryer a smooth, luxurious feel. It also comes in maroon and gold, black and silver, and navy and black. *Technical testing, 2019, vs.We tested the white and rose gold model and it’s absolutely stunning.
