The new Dyson Supersonic hair dryer
(Picture: Dyson)Not since the invention of the first ever hairdryer (by French coiffeur inventeur Alexandre-Ferdinand Godefroy back in 1888, for the record) has an electrical item been so revolutionary to our barnets.
But when Dyson released its Supersonic hair drying machine in 2016, it completely changed the playing field.
Using the bladeless technology that proved so effective in its vacuums, Dyson transplanted this method into its beauty tool to dry hair quickly and with less heat, leading to practically zero hair damage. No wonder we all went wild for it.
Naturally such an innovative electrical item comes with an equally hefty price tag, but right now Currys has it on sale for £50 less.
While that may not be an earth-shattering sum, coupled with the stockist’s Buy Now Pay Within 12 Months, it does make it more affordable at £10.75 per month with 0 per cent interest. Not to mention, it’s a viable gift option with Christmas on the horizon.

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer
Best for: a sound(less) investment piece + using around small, slumbering children
Dyson has used the bladeless technology used in its fans and transplanted it into this unconventional-looking grey and fuchsia hair dryer.
The designers have also cleverly moved the motor from the head to the handle, taking the strain off your arms and making it far more comfortable to hold while drying sections of hair. Airflow is fast and even thanks to the V9 motor which propels at an astonishing 110,000 times a minute, pushing out 41 litres a second. More air equals a faster dry.
The motor design also means that the Supersonic is so quiet you can hold a conversation while using it; something of a game changer in itself. It comes with smoothing and diffusing attachments that connect magnetically while a microprocessor monitors air temperature every 40 seconds to ensure you’re not damaging your strands with excess heat. It takes getting used to when making the switch from traditional looking dryers, but once you’ve mastered the new way to hold the machine for maximum drying power, you’ll be converted.
The gold standard for hair dryers (which incidentally now comes in very fetching a limited edition Prussian Blue), the only downside is the cost which admittedly is far more than the average. But if you’re one for regular salon blow dries anyway, you should quickly recover the cost of Dyson’s Supersonic within weeks. What cost to keep the gleam on your crowning glory?
