Hair stylists using Dyson SupersonicTM hair dryers as a default tool on photoshoots is a testament to their effectiveness despite the brand never claiming it as a “professional hair dryer.” It has even reached a point where we assess the luxury factor of a gym or a spa if the said hairdryer is part of its amenity offerings.

Besides its sleek, modern and compact outlook, the Dyson SupersonicTM hair dryer delivers more results than just drying one’s hair.

A small yet powerful Dyson digital motor V9, spinning up to 110,000 revolutions per minute and eight times faster than other hair dryer motors, powers the dryer, though the inclusion of acoustic silencers makes it quieter than most. This form of stylishness extends itself to how it performs when one actually uses it. The Air MultiplierTM technology, coupled with its formidable motor, projects a jet of high-velocity air angled at 20° keeps the jet smooth and controlled for fast drying and precise styling.

People with thicker and longer hair would appreciate how ergonomically designed the Dyson SupersonicTM hair dryer is as its motor sits within the handle, making it less taxing on the arm while manoeuvring the dryer across their head.

The Dyson SupersonicTM hair dryer comes with four heat settings (100°C, 80°C, 60°C and 28°C) and an Intelligent Heat Control (a glass bead thermistor) that measures air temperature over 40 times per second and regulates unbearable heat to address concerns burning the scalp which in turn, leads to dryness, flakiness, and potential hair loss.

In short, it prevents the air temperature from going past 150°C; the temperature hair starts to lose both its shine and elasticity.

The other genius of the Intelligent Heat Control is preventing over-drying the scalp, which leads to dryness, itchiness, and weakened hair roots. It is also important to note that achieving perfectly dried hair does not depend only on a controlled temperature. The Dyson SupersonicTM hair dryer comes in three precise speed settings — high for fast drying, medium for regular drying and low to simulate natural drying — with easy-to-use styling attachments.

The Smoothing Nozzle, Styling Concentrator (for precise styling of hair sections), Gentle Air Attachment (people with fine hair or sensitive scalps will appreciate this one), and Flyaway smoother (the only 2-in-1 brush to smooth and hide flyaways using the Coanda effect) further amp up your hair game.

Combining two modes in one attachment — Smoothing that smoothens and imparts shine as it dries the hair and Flyaway that tucks flyaways behind longer strands — the Flyaway smoother is especially handy for people seeking a smooth, sleek salon blowout finish that can be created at home but if volume is what they are seeking then here is a trick: brush the hair from the roots upwards using the Smoothing mode for instant volume.

Now, what made this hair dryer a winner is how we personally like to use it: as a compact and portable hair dryer to bring along for travels or even to the gym, a device that lends itself useful no matter if we are growing out our hair or maintaining long tresses, a pet-friendly device that does the job quickly without upsetting them, and of course, a holy grail that cuts our grooming routine short and skilfully.
