Dyson's latest creation in the realm of hair styling, the supersonic hair dryer, has made an entry.
The tech giant Dyson has released a new version of its popular hair dryer, the Dyson Supersonic Nural. This updated model boasts advanced scalp protection technology, setting it apart from its predecessor.
The Dyson Supersonic Nural is equipped with a proximity sensor that detects how close the dryer is to your scalp and automatically adjusts the heat to prevent scalp heat damage while still drying hair efficiently [1][2][5]. This feature is a significant upgrade, making it particularly appealing for users concerned about scalp health and heat damage.
Key features and differences between the original Dyson Supersonic and the Nural include:
| Feature | Dyson Supersonic (Original) | Dyson Supersonic Nural | |------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------| | Heat control | Intelligent heat control measuring temperature 40x/second to avoid heat damage | Enhanced: Sensors detect proximity to scalp and adjust heat automatically to protect scalp specifically[1][2] | | Noise level | Quiet motor, minimal noise[3] | Also quiet, possibly quieter and lighter in hand[2] | | Weight and ergonomics | Motor in the handle design for balanced holding[3] | Similar ergonomic design; super lightweight feel reported[2] | | Attachments | 5 magnetic attachments: Styling concentrator, diffuser, pick comb, flyaway, gentle air[3] | Comes with multiple attachments including wide-tooth comb; similar or improved offerings likely[2] | | Price (retail as of 2025 summer) | About $399, often discounted[4] | Higher retail price, around $499 but sometimes on sale around $399[4] | | Drying performance | Fast drying, smooth finish, reduces frizz with ion tech[3] | Cuts drying time under 10 minutes, preserves curls without frizz, prevents root overheating[2] |
Other qualities such as speed, quietness, and attachment versatility remain strengths of both models, with the Nural being lighter and slightly more advanced technically [1][2][3][4][5].
It's worth noting that the Dyson Corrale, a separate product, is cordless and comes with a charging dock. However, the Dyson Supersonic Nural is not a 6-in-1 multi-styler like the Airwrap, and it does not have the learning and memorizing user's heat and speed preferences feature or Bluetooth capabilities and app connectivity [6][7].
For those who already own the original Supersonic, the upgrade may not be necessary as both products offer similar results. However, for those seeking enhanced scalp protection, the Dyson Supersonic Nural offers a compelling upgrade option.
