1. Gently towel-dry hair
Hair is at its most vulnerable when wet, so it’s important not to apply heat to fully wet hair2. Not only can this cause damage, but it also takes much longer to dry and style. Gently towel-dry your hair with a non-abrasive towel, squeezing excess water from your strands without tangling.
2. Choose the right attachment
The Supersonic Nural™ comes with a range of magnetic attachments to suit your hair type and desired style, all with varying heat and airflow requirements. For instance, the Wave+Curl Diffuser has been engineered for defining curls or waves, reducing frizz and boosting volume. Conversely, the Flyaway attachment hides flyaways in a single pass, and the Wide-tooth comb attachment creates volume and shape on curly and textured hair.
3. Select heat and speed settings
Once you have selected your desired attachment, the next step in how to use your Dyson Supersonic Nural™ is to fine-tune your heat and speed settings for your hair type. This is where the Nural’s™ Attachment learning sensor is most effective since each attachment comes with preset temperature and airflow to simplify your hair routine. They are customizable by you, so the Supersonic Nural™ will automatically remember your styling preferences from your previous use - so you don't have to.
The Supersonic Nural™ has 3 precise airflow settings and 4 heat settings, as well as a cold shot feature. If you want to know how to use a Dyson hair dryer on fine hair, we suggest drying on a lower heat using the Gentle air attachment and activating Scalp protect mode for efficient yet gentle drying that smooths locks. Thicker hair types will likely require higher heat and speed settings for faster drying.
4. Section hair and blow dry with brush
Use clips or hair ties to evenly section the hair so you can uniformly dry from root to ends. Depending on the thickness of your hair, you may need 3 or more sections. You’ll notice in any guide for how to use a Dyson hair dryer that tension is needed when applying heat to smooth and style hair strands. Opt for The Dyson Vented Barrel Brush to create volume and lift as you style.
5. Set the hair with the cold shot feature
The cold shot button on the Dyson Supersonic Nural™ allows you to set your style after applying heat. Using this feature immediately deactivates the heating element to blast the hair with 28°C air. After drying and styling the hair, go over the same section with the cold shot to preserve the style for longer.
6. Style hair based on texture
One of the primary benefits of styling hair with a Dyson Supersonic Nural™ is its compatibility with a variety of hair types and textures.
For an everyday blow-dry:
- Use the Gentle air attachment on towel-dried hair – ensure you activate Scalp protect mode to prevent too much heat exposure on the scalp.
- Apply medium heat and speed settings (go higher for thicker hair).
- Next, swap to the Styling concentrator for precision styling. Keep Scalp protect mode switched on.
- Use alongside your barrel brush to create volume at the root and bouncy flicks at the ends.
- Finish with the Flyaway attachment to further tame your locks since this attachment distributes heat along the length of the hair and isn’t concentrated on the scalp.
For curly hair and defined waves:
- Apply your favourite styling product to clean, towel-dried hair.
- Attach the Wave+Curl Diffuser. Depending on your desired style, you can opt for either Diffuse or Dome mode. Diffuse mode will give you volume at the root and preserve natural textured coils or curls. Dome mode will enhance and define curls and waves.
- Select medium air flow speed and heat.
- Flip your hair upside down and press the Diffuser into the curls from the ends until you reach the top section of the hair.
- Hold in place. Repeat this movement on all sides, then shake out your hair.
7. Clean the hair dryer filter
Regular filter cleaning will maintain powerful airflow and keep your Supersonic Nural™ hair dryer performing at its best. We recommend that you clean the filter once per month. You can do this by removing the magnetic filter cage and washing in warm, soapy water. Soak for a minimum of 30 minutes, rinse, then dry. The filter itself can be wiped with a clean, dry cloth to remove lingering debris.
