Dyson has introduced its most advanced hair dryer to date, the Supersonic Nural, to the United States market. This cutting-edge device incorporates innovative sensor technology, including a time-of-flight sensor that detects proximity to the scalp and adjusts heat levels to minimize damage to hair and scalp. This technology is part of Dyson’s commitment to reducing heat damage and improving hair and scalp health through substantial investment in research and development.
The Supersonic Nural features a variety of modes and attachments designed to cater to all hair types and styling preferences. Among its standout features is the Scalp protect mode, which utilizes Nural sensors to automatically reduce the dryer’s heat to 131°F when close to the scalp, ensuring comfort and safety during use. The dryer’s capsule also changes color to indicate different heat settings, enhancing the user experience.
Additional functionalities include Attachment learning, which remembers the user’s preferred settings for future use, and Pause detect, a motion-sensing feature that pauses operation when the dryer is not actively being used. These features streamline the styling process, making it more efficient and user-friendly.
The dryer also comes with a new set of attachments, such as the Wave+Curl diffuser for defining natural hair patterns, a Gentle air attachment for even air distribution, a Styling concentrator for precise styling, a Wide-tooth comb for stretching hair, and a Flyaway attachment for achieving a smooth finish. These attachments are designed to enhance the styling experience without compromising hair health.
Shawn Lim, Head of Research at Dyson, explains that the development of the Scalp protect mode was influenced by their research into scalp health and its impact on overall hair quality. The mode is specifically designed to prevent moisture loss and over-drying, which are common issues with traditional hair drying methods.
The Supersonic Nural is not only functionally advanced but also aesthetically pleasing, featuring a clear end cap that showcases its internal technology and is available in new color palettes like Ceramic Patina and Topaz, or Vinca Blue and Topaz. Priced at $499.99, the hair dryer is set to revolutionize the hair care routine with its blend of style, function, and innovation.
