Dyson introduces its cutting-edge supersonic hair dryer.
Dyson, the renowned tech company known for its innovative products, has unveiled an updated version of its popular Supersonic hair dryer - the Dyson Supersonic Nural. This new model boasts several enhancements, with a focus on scalp protection and improved performance for curly and afro hair types.
Advanced Scalp Protection
The most significant change in the Dyson Supersonic Nural is its ability to sense how close it is to the scalp and automatically adjust heat to protect the scalp from heat damage[1][3]. This intelligent heat control helps prevent overheating and scalp damage while still drying hair quickly.
Key Features and Comparisons
Here's a side-by-side comparison of the key features of the Dyson Supersonic Original and the Dyson Supersonic Nural:
| Feature | Dyson Supersonic Original | Dyson Supersonic Nural | |---------|---------------------------|-----------------------| | Heat Control | Intelligent heat control measuring temperature 40 times/second to prevent heat damage | Advanced sensing of proximity to scalp to auto-adjust heat for extra scalp protection[1][3] | | Power | Powerful airflow, 1,600W motor | Same wattage but optimized for scalp safety and fast drying[4] | | Attachments | Styling concentrator, diffuser, pick comb, flyaway attachment, gentle air attachment magnetically attached[2][3] | Similar attachments, including wide-tooth comb ideal for curly/afro hair[4] | | Target Hair Types | Suitable for various hair types | Especially designed and praised for afro, 4B/4C curls, with detangling & drying combo via wide-tooth comb attachment[4] | | Design & Weight | Ergonomic with motor in handle for balance and comfort[2] | Similar ergonomic design and weight; comfortable to hold for extended use[5] | | Noise | Quiet motor | Also relatively quiet despite powerful airflow[3][4] | | Results | Smooth, shiny finish with reduced frizz | Ultra-fast drying (under 10 mins for thick afro curls), smooth, shiny hair with lasting movement, gentle on scalp[3][4] |
A Worthwhile Upgrade for Curly and Afro Hair
The Dyson Supersonic Nural is a worthwhile upgrade if scalp health and curly/afro hair drying are your priorities. While other features and styling attachments remain largely consistent between models, the new scalp protection technology sets it apart. This makes it particularly lauded for performance on afro and curly hair types with its attachments and airflow designed to minimize damage and maximize curl definition[1][3][4].
For those who already own the original Supersonic, the upgrade may not be necessary, as the original remains a high-performing, versatile dryer. However, for those seeking an upgrade for scalp protection and improved performance on curly and afro hair, the Dyson Supersonic Nural offers a compelling choice.
