Introducing the New Dyson Supersonic R: A Revolutionary Hair Dryer for All

The wait is finally over! Dyson has launched its latest innovation, the Supersonic R, a lighter, more manageable, and efficient hair dryer that promises to revolutionize your styling routine.

Weighing in at a mere 325g, the Supersonic R is lighter than a can of hairspray, making it comfortable for long usage, even for those with long hair. This new model is also 30% smaller than the original Supersonic dryer, making it more manageable for professional stylists and everyday users alike.

The Supersonic R comes with a unique upright and curvy design, making it easier to dry hard-to-reach areas without burning the scalp or hair. The air flows through 10 'foils' in the curve of the dryer, heating the air more precisely than in previous Dyson hair dryers, meaning your hair should take less time to style.

The Supersonic R is equipped with the brand's unique Hyperdymium motor, which spins at an astonishing 110,000rpm to create a jet-like stream for precision styling. Each attachment on the Supersonic R is pre-set to its ideal temperature and speed to give the best result and minimize heat damage.

The dryer comes with two styling attachment sets: Straight + Wavy set and Curly + Coily kit, each with five attachments. The 'pro concentrator' attachment on the Supersonic R helps achieve a sleek blow-dry style, while the 'powerful' air attachment is more powerful than the original Dyson and is quieter than traditional hairdryers.

The Supersonic R has three heat and three speed levels, plus a cool shot button. This intelligent hair dryer utilizes an intelligent heat control that monitors the heat of the air temperature over 40 times per second to regulate and stabilize it. As a result, the Supersonic R does not produce a burning smell or cause discomfort to the scalp during usage.

The new Supersonic R is available for purchase now, and it retails for £449.99. It comes with a two-year warranty and can be returned within 35 days of purchase if not satisfied, free of charge. So, if you're looking for a salon-quality blow-dry at home, the Supersonic R might just be what you need.

However, it's worth noting that the mega plug of the Supersonic R might require an extension lead if traditional skirting boards are near the plug sockets. Nevertheless, with its sleek design, precision styling, and time-saving features, the Supersonic R is set to become a staple in many households.

While the author of the article about the Dyson Supersonic R is not named, it's clear that this innovative hair dryer is set to make a significant impact on the way we style our hair. Whether you have fine, frizzy hair or long, wavy locks, the Supersonic R is designed to cater to your needs, potentially making you appear as if you've just stepped out of the salon.
