Dyson products may usually finding themselves lurking in your cupboards at home, but now they’re making their way to your dressing table with the launch of their first personal care product – a hairdryer.
For 23 years Dyson have been setting the agenda in domestic appliances, and now, after four years of development, they launch a hairdryer they say is quieter and less damaging to hair than a conventional hair tool.

Dyson hairdryer design
The hairdryer is the first of its kind powered by a miniaturised air pump in the handle, using the same airflow principles as Dyson’s desk fans. It also means it’s extremely ergonomic, so you’re arm doesn’t tire whilst using it. The minute ‘digital’ V9 motor is located in the handle.
The hole in the middle also means it looks like no other hairdryer we’ve ever seen before, but with a £299 price tag it also means it blows all other professional-grade hairdryers out of the water when it comes to price.

How is the Dyson hairdryer better for your hair?
Not only is the hairdryer eight times faster than some traditional models, it doesn’t wreck your hair and maintains natural shine with a controlled airflow that peaks at an optimum 150 degrees (some competitors go up to 230). It also has a glass bead thermistor measures temperatures 20 times a second to make sure your hair isn’t exposed to excessive heat.

Other design features
The extraordinary shape of this hairdryer left us wondering if it’d be possible to have any attachments with this hairdryer, and of course Dyson have designed three magnetic styling attachments including a diffuser for curly hair.
It knows we all want different things so has four different heat settings, three airflow settings and a cold shot booster to ensure you can set your style in place.

Not only that, but it’s quieter too. A team of ‘aero-acoustic engineers’ created a 13 blade system (instead of 11) which is surrounded by acoustic silencers to reduce noise without comprising on speed.
“Hair dryers can be heavy, inefficient and make a racket,” explained James Dyson. “By looking at them further we realised that they can also cause extreme heat damage to hair. I challenged Dyson engineers to really understand the science of hair and develop our version of a hair dryer, which we think solves these problems.” And thus the Dyson Supersonic Dryer was born.
