00:00Okay, so I am patiently waiting to dry my hair right now, but someone else has taken the hairdryer from
00:08me.
00:09And when do I get to use the hairdryer?
00:11Oh, it's all yours.
00:21Hi, I'm Kat Quinn. I'm the beauty director at Refinery29,
00:25and I'm so excited to get my best, healthiest, shiniest hair ever using the Dyson Supersonic for my wedding in
00:31just two months.
00:33Alongside this challenge, we are going to have a really busy month.
00:36I will be trying on veils. I will be finalizing what my hair looks like at my wedding.
00:40I will be going to all of the workout classes, so you'll probably see me sweat a lot.
00:46Bring on the Supersonic. I am so ready to get started.
00:50Okay, this is my first time using the Dyson dryer. I am so excited.
00:54When my hair looks good, I feel like I can take on the world.
00:58My hair is so long and thick that drying it is actually a huge chore,
01:03so one of the things I'm most looking forward to about this challenge is making drying it actually something I
01:08enjoy.
01:08I have the nozzle on because I want to really control any frizz or anything,
01:13and just do an easy, quick, smooth blot because I'm about to go out with some friends.
01:17Hopefully, it'll be faster. It'll be easier. I won't have to deal with as much frizz because it's more efficient,
01:23and I can cut down on the heat styling tools that I use on my hair that put it under
01:28a lot of stress.
01:29I can already tell that this is drying my hair so fast.
01:36And we are done. Ready to go.
01:41Hey, guys. It's Kat. I am here for my workout.
01:45I try my hardest to keep my hair as healthy as possible, but I'm constantly throwing my hair up into
01:51tight ponytails and tight buns.
01:53I'm working out, and I'm getting sweat and rubbing my hair on the mat.
01:57And, you know, you do the best that you can, but sometimes life gets in the way.
02:01The biggest thing I learned in all of this is to not let my hair keep me from working out.
02:05When your hair is long, you don't always want to jump in the shower, wash it, blow dry it, and
02:10head out the door.
02:11But I have found that the dryer is so much easier to use than other dryers.
02:16My hands and my arms get less tired because it's lighter.
02:19I did my hair in like 20, 30 minutes in the Dyson.
02:22I feel like it's way less frizzy than it usually is. I didn't have to use iron.
02:26So it is date night. We are walking through a winery.
02:31It's nice to have a little bit of break from the wedding planning, right, babe?
02:34Mm-hmm.
02:35Love you.
02:36Love you, too.
02:37How's my hair?
02:38Beautiful.
02:39Yours, too.
02:42Okay, so we have a really busy two weeks coming up to finish out the remainder of this challenge.
02:48Hey, guys. It is my bridal shower day.
02:50I've got my under eye mask on because, you know, I need all the help I can get.
02:54What I learned is that when my hair looked good, I really had so much confidence.
02:58I just walked into that room with my head held high, and it really just gave me kind of that
03:03ease
03:04that I needed.
03:04I feel like the challenge ended up being a really great gift to me in this time.
03:09It was a busy time, but it was a lot of fun.
03:11We're so excited to go home in this month.
03:17Probably the biggest thing that I learned in this challenge is that self-care is so important.
03:21I actually feel like so much more zen now than I did at the beginning of this challenge.
03:26I was pretty stressed out.
03:28I was looking at this month of all these things I had to get done.
03:30I just saw lists and checklists and all these deadlines and things that I had to do,
03:36and I sort of forgot myself in the equation.
03:39And this helped me remember that, like, this is a big moment for me that I should be enjoying this
03:44and connecting with myself and really treasuring this time and not feeling like I have to, like,
03:50run, run, run, get it all done, and I don't have time for me to take a step back
03:53and to really invest that time back in myself.
03:57That is a wrap on our Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer Challenge.
04:00I have had so much fun vlogging.
04:02Thank you for following along on my journey, and I will see you all after my honeymoon.
