Men’s Folio’s Grooming Awards 2024 spotlights the winner for the category Best Hairdryer — the Dyson Supersonic Nural™.
Beauty, brawn and brains. The Dyson Supersonic Nural™ has it all. Pioneering hair technology with intelligence, its latest update involves the scalp protect mode, where heat is automatically reduced and maintained at 55°C at the scalp via a Time of Flight sensor. As the Dyson Supersonic Nural™ hovers over one’s scalp, invisible infrared beams kick in to measure distance. Air temperatures are automatically lowered, resulting in a more pleasant drying experience, especially for the scalp — and the prevention of breakage, colour loss and that beloved glossy shine.
In terms of knowing thyself — or, in this case, thy user — the Dyson comes in on top. The Supersonic Nural™ rivals its predecessor in intuition. Intuition, being the latest Attachment learning and Pause detection tech that one can now view through its updated see-through end-cap. The dryer will now be able to recognise one’s favourite settings and attachments, automatically adjusting to those styling proclivities. A built-in motion sensing accelerometer detects idle movement, which means automated activation (and deactivation) of airflow and heat when one lays down the dryer for sectioning or styling. Compact meets impact with the Dyson Hyperdymium™ motor and its Air Multiplier™ technology — which work in tandem to increase the supply of controlled air. High-velocity jets of air and airflow are tripled, giving users instant access to faster, intelligent styling. This is made even easier, thanks to the inclusions of the Gentle air attachment, Styling concentrator, Smoothing nozzle, Flyaway smoother and Diffuser, five intelligent attachments which gracefully work in tandem to smooth and contour the hair for that daily blowout effect.

The Dyson Supersonic Nural™ delivers more than what most people are looking for in a hairdryer — to dry hair, and it does so faster than most of its competition. Packed with so many automated smart technology, it also protects hair and scalp quietly without the user knowing. The add-on extensions are also handy tools to help one achieve the desired hairstyle more easily, but that would also depend on some level of personal skill and practice. Regardless, the Dyson Supersonic Nural™ will be there to love and care for one’s hair.
