Back in 2019, when I was deciding between the Dyson Airwrap and the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer, I chose the Airwrap. At the time, I felt like I was getting more for my money — it came with multiple attachments and included a dryer function.
Little did I know that Dyson would later introduce a game-changing accessory: the Flyaway Smoother. It’s now compatible with both the Supersonic dryer and the Airwrap — and it completely changed how I style my hair. Honestly, I’m glad I didn’t buy the dryer earlier, because this attachment didn’t exist yet — and it’s now my favorite tool for blow-drying.
What Makes the Dyson Supersonic Different?
Let me start by saying this: I’ve tried many hair dryers — various brands, countries of origin, all price points. But nothing compares to Dyson’s technology, results, and build quality.
It’s not just a “luxury” hair dryer — it’s a whole experience.
The Flyaway Smoother = Game Changer
I usually start drying with the narrow nozzle to gently remove excess moisture. Then I switch to the Flyaway attachment — and that’s when the magic happens.
This curved tool smooths down frizz and flyaways, especially around the top of the head. It gives me a silky finish without the need for flat irons or additional styling.
✨ Note: If your hair has a lot of chemical treatments and is very porous, don’t expect miracles — but it still works beautifully on areas with less porosity.
Lightweight, Quiet, and Shockingly Powerful
Compared to other hair dryers I’ve owned, the Dyson Supersonic is:
- Lighter
- Quieter
- More powerful
- And honestly, safer
It’s compact and travel-friendly (though keep in mind: not dual voltage), and it feels incredibly well-balanced in your hand.
Dyson also uses intelligent heat control technology, measuring air temperature 300+ times per second to prevent overheating and protect your hair. I noticed a big difference in how less oily my hair got over time — I used to need to wash it daily, now I can go 2–3 days between washes.
Attachments for Every Hair Type
Dyson didn’t design this product for just one hair type. The Supersonic comes with:
- The Flyaway Smoother
- A narrow nozzle for focused drying
- A diffuser for curly hair
- A wide tooth comb attachment
- And a styling concentrator for precision work
No matter your texture or routine, there’s an attachment for you.
Safety + Smart Design Features
Some features that I personally love (and didn’t even realize I needed until I used them):
- Magnetic attachments: They snap on securely and never fall off — unlike traditional dryers where the plastic expands with heat and accessories slide off.
- Cool-to-touch nozzles: The dryer does get warm, but not dangerously hot. I’ve burned my fingers on other dryers before — never with Dyson.
- No back-end hair suction: You know that scary moment when your hair gets caught in the back of a dryer? That never happens here. Huge relief.
A Beautiful, Durable Product
The storage case is stunning — Dyson doesn’t miss when it comes to design. Every part has its place, and the quality feels premium in every sense.
I also opted for the extended warranty at the time (because hey, these things aren’t cheap!) — but it turned out to be unnecessary. The product holds up beautifully. It’s solid, durable, and built to last.
Final Thoughts: Dyson Loyalty Activated
First came the Airwrap, then the vacuum, then the hair dryer — and now? I trust Dyson so much that I joke, “Just take my card!” whenever they announce a new product.
If they ever launch a pet line, I’m in. No questions asked. Dyson doesn’t just make good products — they make products that become part of your everyday life and actually make it better.
