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 to be like every diffuser you have ever seen, with prongs to get proper into the basis to dry and assist with quantity. Dyson says this one is greatest for extra textured curls and coils.
Pop that prong half off to make use of “dome mode.” As an alternative 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 had been greatest 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 prime that require a bit extra care to deliver out the form.
You may discover a couple of slight visible modifications 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 top. It makes it slightly extra fun-looking, however 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 have a look at among the internals. As a huge fan of ’90s clear tech, I need extra of this on a regular basis. Dyson, if you happen to’re studying this, the folks need absolutely clear hair instruments with candy-colored wires.
Placing a lot of the controls on the again of the barrel is a great transfer (because it was with the unique). Most dryers put the buttons proper the place your fingers grip the deal with, so you’ll be able to unintentionally change settings once 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.
