"#Saving Husbands' Wallets# Shocking Twist, Is Dyson Wronged or Not?"

In the past couple of days, Dyson's Airwrap has overshadowed all trending topics, effortlessly flooding social media feeds, leading one friend to humorously remark:

On the night of the 11th, Grandma Shao discovered that all pre-orders for Shanghai and Shenzhen on JD.com had sold out, and the next day's pre-orders on Tmall were cleared in just one second! The allure of Dyson's black technology doesn't need further elaboration here~ (We're mainly looking at the mutual bickering~ seeking the truth)

On the morning of the 12th, the second "hot post" began to circulate wildly in social media, coming from a girl in Shanghai.

I believe this post has truly saved many husbands' wallets, allowing many boyfriends and "forced husbands" to breathe a sigh of relief.

The article borrowed from YouTube blogger beautyfaith S's review video, dousing the excited girls with a bucket of cold water from start to finish!

The girl commented:

The box is too big, can't take it out, bad review!

The airflow is weak, can't dry hair, bad review!

The curling function is weak, can only handle a few strands of hair, bad review!

...(imagine classic scenes from Food God)

A $549 set is criticized to the point of being worthless, almost prompting an immediate call to return it~

At this point, the audience might be skeptical, could it really be as this girl said, that this coveted set is completely unnecessary to buy? (Here we see husbands waving their hands...)

Don't worry, don't worry... After watching so many palace drama series, don't you understand? Without a few skills, you definitely won't survive the first episode. Let's first take a look at the background of this blogger~

See the image below:

2,702 fans~ Over 20 videos released this year, the earliest one was two years ago, hmm! About this level, everyone can feel free to assess:

The highest view count is no more than 5K (most are under 1K), while this complaint video has already exceeded 29,000 views in just one day, showing the extent of its virality. This wave of trending is well-timed~ (Grandma Shao's data is solid evidence; not everyone can master the art of riding trends, kudos to the blogger...)

Alright, let's return to this curling iron...

Before discussing this, I need to clarify for all the sisters out there, as a girl with long hair, this is how we usually curl our hair... (Rich sisters, please go to a hair salon! If you bought Dyson, you wouldn't even bother using it)

Step one. Section the hair (more hair means more sections)

Step 2. Preheat the curling iron before curling

Step 3. Wet the hair

Step 4. Start curling from one-third of the hair down, clamp the ends, and slowly rotate the curling iron to curl it up

Step 5. (MD... burnt smell) After about 10 seconds, quickly take it down to avoid ending up like this girl...

That's mostly it. After curling everything, spray some setting spray, right? (No, don't spray me. I've always curled it this way)

As a girl with a lot of hair, I usually spend about 30 minutes to get it done, and sometimes I accidentally burn my face.

(Grandma Shao's handiwork)

Alright, if we can agree, then we can start our analysis of the "reverse (sibi) battle"~

First, the girl from Shanghai in the video said: This box is too big and not convenient at all.

Excuse me, are you a professional stylist or do you have 10 bodyguards ready to attend a banquet? Do you need to bring a full set when you go out? Just bring a stick and you're good to go? Which hotel doesn't have a hairdryer?

Moreover, they never claimed that convenience means you can take it out. Stop it! Tidying up at home is already pretentious enough; if you like curls, just get a perm!

Now, let's talk about this hair dryer she complained about for 5 minutes~

First of all, this is a hairdryer head, not a high-powered blow dryer, thank you! If the effect is the same, is Dyson planning to kill off its hairdryer line? (rolls eyes)

Secondly, before drying your hair, you should wrap your hair in a towel to get it half-dry, then use the hairdryer until it's about 70% dry and not dripping, then you can curl it! So this hairdryer head is just helping you complete part of the hairdryer’s subsequent work; don’t fantasize about buying a $4000 product and getting a $3500 hairdryer for free!

Using this hairdryer head doesn’t mean you dry your hair completely; curls need to retain some moisture due to temperature, which everyone knows, so it’s fine if they dry it to 70-80%!

Now let’s discuss the key point, the automatic curling black technology!

First, let’s look at BFS's live demonstration:

To be honest, the testing was quite unfair; the hair wasn't held properly, and it might seem like the hair just gets sucked up by a magnet, so they just grabbed it and let go.

Next, we have the bloggers Dyson paid for on YouTube (now social media is quite honest; if brands pay bloggers, they will declare it! Integrity)

We will notice two things~

1. The starting point for curling and the amount of hair

All the bloggers started curling from the ends of their hair and held onto it until it got sucked up before letting go~ Girls know that thinning the hair naturally means the ends will have less volume, so you can't curl too much at once; otherwise, the hair wrapped around the curling iron will heat unevenly due to being too thick. Asians naturally have more hair, and there's nothing to be done about it, just like Middle Easterners have body odor, it's inherited.

Look at the video screenshot:

Pay attention to the position of the Asian girl on the left and the amount of hair on the right.

Observe the position and amount of hair of the Brazilian girl.

2. You have to wait for the hair to get sucked up before letting go.

These bloggers all grabbed a section of hair a distance from the ends to let it get sucked up, then naturally curled it up. Please note, BFS's amount of hair was already filling the entire curling iron before it was even curled, so how would she curl the rest? I think the amount of hair and the angle led to her unsatisfactory experience.

What she said was, "Once you let the hair go, it will keep falling and falling." Watching others’ methods, they all grab the hair at one-third of the way, let it get sucked up, and then let go, okay? This is similar to how you need three fingers to drag an apple; you have to adapt and learn.

Finally, the girl also complained about the straightening brush:

I want to say, to be beautiful, you have to pay a price. Please recall, when you go to any hair salon to dry your hair, do they not help you section it? Why? To dry it quickly and avoid damage from repeatedly blowing on the same surface. Even if you dry your hair at home, you blow left and right; moreover, this is still a comb. It’s inherently a process of smoothing while blowing, and they never claimed it would dry in one stroke or straighten in one pass; they just said it smooths frizz, which is fine.

In fact, whether it's the nozzle, curling iron, or straightening brush, they are not as magical as we imagine, but they are also not as worthless as the girl or BFS criticized. Grandma Shao strongly agrees with a comment under the girl's article:

When Apple Mac first came out, no one said it was good; even now, some still criticize the iOS system, but that doesn't stop people like Grandma from eagerly trying and learning! Some conveniences are built on people's learning; mutual adaptation can improve efficiency.

Finally, a sincere suggestion for the general public: If you truly enjoy trying new things and have the means, why not go ahead and buy one?

Money that needs to be spent will always be spent; Grandma Shao still stands by her saying, as long as you’re happy~
