Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer

Dyson’s latest styling tool comes equipped with a new scalp-protection mode with LED lights that change color, depending on the distance the dryer is from your head. The Dyson Supersonic Nural hair dryer also has a pausing motion-sensing pause function to automatically deactivate the heater and decrease airflow when you are in between styling passes. “From our research into the science of hair, we know that there is a connection between the quality of hair and a healthy scalp.

This helps to maintain scalp moisture levels, prevent over drying and allows for gentle drying,” said Shawn Lim, Head of Research at Dyson. The dryer comes with five attachments: a wide-tooth comb, flyaway attachment, wave and curl diffuser and other styling hairs to direct air flow.  Launched May 1, the hair dryer sells for $499.99 and is available at dyson.com and sephora.com.
