For me, a dryer lives and dies by its diffuser, and I’ve by no means seen one like this, which is definitely two diffusers. In “diffuse mode,” it seems like every diffuser you’ve got ever seen, with prongs to get proper into the basis to dry and assist with quantity. Dyson says this one is finest for extra textured curls and coils.
Pop that prong half off to make use of “dome mode.” As a substitute of pushing air out, it creates a vortex of air throughout the dome so air spins across the curls to dry them. It is meant to elongate and improve waves and curls. For my hair, they have been finest used collectively, and I feel many curl varieties would profit from each. I dried the roots and coarser backside layer with the common diffuser, after which switched to the dome for the size, notably specializing in the broken curls on high that require a bit extra care to carry out the form.
You will discover just a few slight visible adjustments from the primary Supersonic. Lights change colours primarily based on the warmth setting, turning blue for cool, yellow for low warmth, orange for medium, and crimson for prime. It makes it a little bit extra fun-looking, nevertheless it’s additionally a pleasant visible cue to shortly examine which setting you are on. My favourite new addition although, is the clear again the place the settings are, which supplies you an inside take a look at a number of the internals. As a large fan of ’90s clear tech, I need extra of this on a regular basis. Dyson, if you happen to’re studying this, the individuals need totally clear hair instruments with candy-colored wires.
Placing many of the controls on the again of the barrel is a brilliant transfer (because it was with the unique). Most dryers put the buttons proper the place your arms grip the deal with, so you may by chance change settings while you’re simply attempting to carry it to your head. Right here, the ability change and chilly shot button are on the deal with, however out of the way in which.

Scalp shield mode makes use of a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor and infrared beam to detect when the dryer will get near your head, routinely turning the temperature right down to 131 levels Fahrenheit.
