it’s no April Fools gag. The Dyson Supersonic hair dryer is a real thing. In fact, the dryer incorporates some of the similar technologies Dyson is known for in its family of high-tech vacuums and fans. And while the vacuum can clean your flooring and carpets quickly and efficiently without damaging the surfaces, the dryer cares the same way for your hair. Dyson’s digital V9 motor generates the airflow by spinning at a whopping 110,000 rpm. Then, using Dyson’s Air Multiplier technology found in its series fans, allows even this small hair dryer to stream an ultra-fast high pressure jet of controlled air onto your hair.
To protect your hair’s shine, an intelligent processor is built right into the dryer head. It regulates the heat, measuring the air temperature a whopping 50 times a second. A negative ion generator also charges the particles in the air to avoid that annoying static one would expect from such a whirlwind. The result? Your hair can be dried in a hurry with precision and without that overpowering heat that causes irritation to your scalp and damage, in particular, to dry and brittle hair. For those who have ultra-fine hair or a sensitive scalp, a gentle air attachment can further protect those sensitive areas by gently diffusing the air. Your hair will still be dried
