At a glance:Dyson Supersonic r professional hair dryer
It has a new ergonomic design The Dyson Supersonic r has been designed ergonomically in a ‘r’ curve, and at 325g, weighs less than a can of hairspray. The shape allows stylists to reach where it’s normally difficult, for better control when styling hair, and for better comfort while doing so.
There’s more even heat thanks to new heaters New heater technology is small, light, streamlined and ‘power dense’. Its curved heater in effect ensures the dryer heats the airflow more evenly, with no hotspots. For stylists, this means increased evenness of temperature (including when using the attachments), a higher temperature for styling, and drying hair fast, with no heat damage. It checks the temperature constantly Dyson’s intelligent heat control – seen in its other hair tools, too – means air temperature is measured more than 20 times a second.
This again has an eye on keeping hair healthy, preventing extreme heat damage and protecting hair’s natural shine.
The attachments have sensors… and they’ll remember how you used them There’s a range of attachments that have integrated Radio Frequency Identification sensors. These communicate with the hair dryer, automatically adjusting the motor and the heater to deliver what Dyson engineers have set as the ‘optimal’ airflow and temperature.
As examples, the diffuser is set to low flow and low temperature to reduce frizz and enhance curls without disrupting the curl pattern. In contrast, the rough dry mode uses maximum power heat and flow to minimise drying time but while keeping the airflow controlled. However, stylists can adjust these settings depending on the hair type and style of each client, and it will remember that previous setting the next time that attachment is added. Its filter can go longer between cleans The 3D mesh filter at the bottom of the dryer, designed to capture salon pollutants such as hair and styling sprays, now lasts up to two times longer in-between cleans.
