The Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer is renowned for its innovative technology and fast drying capabilities. But to truly unleash its styling potential, understanding and utilizing its range of attachments is key. This guide will walk you through each Dyson Supersonic attachment, explaining its purpose and how to use it to achieve your desired hairstyle.
Exploring Dyson Supersonic Attachments: A Detailed Guide
Dyson Supersonic hair dryers come with a variety of magnetic attachments designed for different hair types and styles. These attachments are engineered for easy use, secure connection, and 360° rotation, providing optimal control and flexibility during styling. Let’s explore each attachment in detail:
Flyaway Attachment: Achieve Salon-Smooth Finishes
The Flyaway attachment is your secret weapon for achieving sleek, straight styles with a professional finish. Designed to tame and hide flyaways, this attachment uses focused airflow to push longer hairs to the front, concealing shorter flyaways underneath. The result is a smooth, shiny look, achieved with air alone. For optimal use, start with high speed and low heat, adjusting the heat setting based on your hair type – higher heat for thicker hair and a cooler setting for finer hair.
Wide-tooth Comb Attachment: Voluminous Styles for Curly & Coily Hair
Specifically engineered for curly and coily hair, the Wide-tooth comb attachment is designed to add volume and shape while drying. Its robust, wide-set teeth gently lengthen and detangle hair as it dries, creating natural volume and definition. Please note that this attachment is not compatible with the Dyson Supersonic Nural™ hair dryer.
Diffuser Attachment: Define Curls and Waves with Reduced Frizz
The Diffuser attachment is redesigned to enhance curl definition and reduce frizz. It disperses air more evenly, mimicking natural drying and preserving the natural pattern of your curls and waves. The longer prongs reach deeper into the hair, allowing you to style larger sections with greater control and ensuring even drying from root to tip.
Gentle Air Attachment: Kind Styling for Fine Hair & Sensitive Scalps
For those with fine hair or sensitive scalps, the Gentle air attachment is a game-changer. It diffuses the airflow, creating a gentler, cooler stream of air. This kinder approach to drying still ensures fast results while being less harsh on delicate hair and sensitive scalps.
Smoothing Nozzle: Gentle Drying for Sleek, Natural Styles
The Smoothing nozzle is designed for simultaneous drying and styling, using a gentle, low-speed airflow. It utilizes smooth, wide air to dry hair softly, creating a sleek and natural finish. This attachment is perfect for achieving a polished look with minimal effort, relying solely on controlled airflow.
Styling Concentrator: Precision Styling with Focused Airflow
For precise styling, the Styling concentrator is indispensable. It engineers a high-velocity blade of air that is focused and controlled, perfect for styling specific sections of hair at a time. This focused airflow ensures you can style one section without disturbing the rest, making it ideal for creating curls, waves, or straight styles with accuracy.
Flyaway Smoother: 2-in-1 Tool for Smoothing and Flyaway Control
The Flyaway smoother is a versatile 2-in-1 brush that leverages the Coanda effect to both smooth hair and hide flyaways.
Smoothing mode: In Smoothing mode, the Coanda airflow gently attracts and lifts hair to the surface of the brush. Air is then precisely propelled along the hair strands, resulting in a smooth, straighter style.
Flyaway mode: By simply switching modes, you can focus the Coanda airflow to lift and direct longer hairs to the front, effectively concealing flyaways underneath for a polished finish. It’s designed for use on dry hair to add shine and perfect your final look. Please note that the Flyaway smoother’s availability may vary by country and it is not compatible with the Dyson Supersonic Nural™ hair dryer. Always check your local Dyson website for the most up-to-date information.
