About
What it is.
Dyson positions the Supersonic Nural within its Supersonic hair dryer family, distinguished by an added scalp-protect mode that reads temperature at the scalp and adjusts to limit heat exposure. The motor sits in the handle rather than the head, a Dyson design signature, driving ionic airflow through a ceramic heating element across four temperature settings up to 100°C, plus a cool shot function.
It ships with a five-piece attachment set — gentle air and flyaway attachments, a styling concentrator, a Wave+Curl diffuser, and a wide-tooth comb — housed in a presentation case, and it accepts older Supersonic attachments. Built for people drying and styling all hair types, including curly and coily textures, it suits buyers seeking a flagship-tier tool from an established name rather than a budget or travel-first pick.
The verdict
The Dyson Supersonic Nural ranks highest for self-care gifts and earns 4.8/5 from nearly 19,000 owners who praise its speed, quiet motor, and light weight, though the scalp protection sensor proves unreliable in practice and some report early durability problems. Fast drying and low noise justify the premium price for most, but buyers seeking dependable heat protection should look elsewhere.

Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer HONEST Review

WORLD'S BEST HAIR DRYER...EVER!! 🤯 NEW! DYSON SUPERSONIC NURAL | REVIEW + DEMO | BEST OF BEAUTY
Kristi Allure
How it holds up — after the dust settles
After months of daily use the dryer still works as promised, but it asks users to relearn old habits and small storage gripes remain.
Ease of use
At launch
Looked like a simple point-and-dry tool with a few attachments.
After months
Reviewer found a real learning curve with the buttons, heat settings, and scalp-protect mode after weeks of use.
Heat control trust
At launch
Automatic scalp protection sounded like a gimmick feature on paper.
After months
After extended use, the automatic heat adjustment near the scalp is described as reliably foolproof and reassuring.

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
Is the Dyson Supersonic Nural worth the price?
Buyers rate it 4.8 out of 5 across nearly 19,000 reviews, with most praising the fast drying, quiet motor, and lightweight design enough to justify the cost. The scalp protection sensor is unreliable in practice, and some owners report early durability issues, so the premium price may not hold up if longevity matters…
How fast does it actually dry hair?
Buyers consistently rate drying speed at 4.8 out of 5. One press review took about seven minutes to rough-dry hair, which was a few minutes slower than the most powerful hair dryers tested.
Does the scalp protection mode work?
The feature exists and some owners report it stops their scalp from flaking and makes hair more manageable. However, multiple buyers say the sensor is inconsistent—it often senses proximity to a styling brush or comb instead of your scalp, causing the heat to drop at the wrong time. Reviewers flag this as the weakest…
Is it quiet?
Buyers rate noise level at 4.8 out of 5, and Dyson's claim of around 76 decibels on the highest setting holds up in reviews.
What are the durability concerns?
Some owners report early durability problems, and testing shows a low reliability score of 3 out of 5. This suggests the high price tag may not be backed by long-term performance for all buyers.
Who is this hair dryer right for?
It suits buyers who want a top-rated, prestigious hair dryer and value fast drying, low noise, and premium design. Buyers seeking reliable scalp heat protection should look elsewhere, as the sensor's inconsistency undermines that core promise.
