Dyson has officially confirmed the Supersonic r™ Hair Dryer is finally launching for everyone this year.
After an exclusive debut for pro stylists in 2024, this ultra-light, high-powered game-changer will soon be available in two dreamy shades: Jasper Plum and Ceramic Pink.
It’s Dyson’s major hair dryer innovation since the Supersonic in 2016—so yeah, this is huge.
But since we’ve still got a little wait before it officially drops, we thought we’d take a look at some other cult hair tools that are equally worth the hype.
