I’ve always been that person who experiments with different hairstyles and stocks up on every hair-care product I can find. For the longest time, I dreamt of owning something from Dyson, and this year, when I turned 24, that dream finally came true with the Dyson Airwrap I.D. It was a gift, and ever since I unboxed it, I haven’t been able to put it down. It felt like the ultimate hair upgrade I had always wanted.
Dyson Supersonic Nural
Rs 41,900
What Is Good?
- Premium design, quite attractive
- Compact, easy to carry around
- Very easy to use
- Overall experience was amazing
- Solves everyday hair problems
What Is Bad?
- Diffuser attachment is of no use for me
Just when I thought it couldn’t get better, Dyson surprised me with the Supersonic Nural hairdryer. Now I’m stuck with the kind of problem I secretly enjoy having: choosing between two amazing tools. The Airwrap is my all-in-one go-to: it dries, smooths, and styles effortlessly. The Nural, on the other hand, focuses on drying while keeping my hair shiny and my scalp protected from heat. I’ve been testing it out for a while, and I finally have some thoughts to share about this hair dryer.
Let’s talk strategy first. Dyson’s launch of the Supersonic Nural isn’t just about introducing another premium hair dryer. I feel it’s a calculated move that reflects where the brand sees beauty tech heading next. Globally, there’s growing awareness around scalp health, heat protection, and personalized care, and Dyson is clearly responding to that shift. The Nural’s focus on sensor-based temperature control and scalp-safe airflow positions it as a response to this demand while extending Dyson’s leadership in precision engineering. In many ways, the Nural deepens Dyson’s hold over the premium segment. It has always been a brand that competitors look up to and emulate, and it is remaining true to its ethos.
One Dryer That Does the Job of Five
Opening the box of the Supersonic Nural felt like unwrapping a little treasure chest. Inside were five attachments waiting to be tried: the Gentle Air attachment, Styling Concentrator, Smoothing Nozzle, Diffuser, and Flyaway Smoother. Even with all that packed in, the dryer itself is surprisingly compact. It fits neatly into my wardrobe and has even traveled with me without causing any space drama in my bag.
I went with the Ceramic Patina and Topaz Orange colourway. It’s striking and looks beautiful sitting on my dresser. That said, my heart still secretly belongs to Vinca Blue with Topaz. I’ve always been drawn to blue tones, so that would have been my dream pick. But honestly, I’m still grateful and excited about the one I have.
One of the coolest details for me is the transparent front design. You can actually see what’s happening inside while it works, which makes the whole product feel unique and clever. It’s almost like Dyson wanted us to enjoy the engineering as much as the styling, and I love that idea.
Plus, I really appreciated that the cord was extra-long. I didn’t have to do that awkward shuffle of dragging a mirror closer or squeezing myself into one corner just to dry my hair. From my washroom to my dressing table, it followed me with zero fuss, which honestly made the whole experience a lot more convenient.
So, using it has been a breeze. I even got my mom to test it, and she instantly figured out how to turn it on. The buttons are so straightforward that there’s no confusion at all. She did find attaching the nozzles a little tricky in the beginning, but once I showed her, she managed just fine. For me, on the contrary, it felt effortless right away.
The best part is how premium the whole thing feels. I know people often question why Dyson products are priced so high when cheaper options are out there. For me, it’s clear. The design, the thoughtful details, and the overall experience make the difference. That’s exactly what makes it worth having.
So, How Exactly Does This Thing Work?
It has been a little over two months since I started using the Supersonic Nural, and the experience has been delightful. This dryer has quickly become more than just a styling tool for me. It feels like a solution to the little struggles I face with my hair on a daily basis. One of those struggles is dealing with flyaways. During Delhi’s rainy season, the humidity makes my hair extra frizzy, and it drives me crazy. I put my hair up thinking I look polished, only to see tiny strands sticking out in the mirror and ruining the look.
That is where the Flyaway Smoother and the Smoothing Nozzle have been a blessing. I don’t even need to section my hair. I simply let it down, glide the attachment back and forth, and in a few minutes, it looks like I walked straight out of a salon appointment. The best part is how easy it is to swap attachments. Even if they are slightly warm, they never feel uncomfortable to handle, and I love that I can move on instantly without waiting.
There was another moment that really impressed me. I had been styling my hair when I received an important call. I placed the dryer on the table and forgot all about it. To my surprise, it turned itself off. That tiny detail showed me how thoughtful the design is, and for someone like me who often forgets little things, it feels like the brand had me in mind when they built it.
The intelligent hot and cold setting is also something I admire. The dryer has a sensor that understands how close it is to my scalp. If it is near, it instantly switches to a gentler cool setting. If it is farther away, it shifts to hot air. Lights on the sensor show what is happening, which makes it even more interesting to use. I feel reassured knowing that my hair is being styled safely without heat damage. Another detail I appreciate is that it remembers my last setting. Each time I switch it back on, it continues from where I left off, which makes the whole process smooth and effortless.
Not every attachment has worked for me, though. The Diffuser is one that I rarely touch. My hair has changed over time, and what used to be wavy has now become straighter. The Diffuser is meant to define curls and waves, so it did not really make much of a difference in my case. But my friend with naturally curly hair has had an entirely different experience. For her, it shortened her curl routine drastically and gave her results that lasted for days without much effort. Watching it work so well for her made me realise how versatile this dryer really is, even if not every piece is right for my hair type.
Is It Worth Spending Rs 41,900 On?
Dyson products have always sat in the premium range, and the Supersonic Nural is no exception, with its price of Rs 41,900. The question is, would I tell you to spend that much on a hair dryer? My honest answer is yes. The design feels luxurious, it is simple enough for anyone to use regardless of age, and the features like hot and cold airflow, along with the automatic pause function, actually make daily styling feel easier and safer. It is not just a styling tool, it is built to fix the little frustrations we face with our hair every day, and Dyson has clearly thought about that.
Something I have always struggled with is the fear of damaging my hair while using styling products. Whether at a salon or at home, that thought never really leaves the back of my mind. Every time I see hair fall, my first reaction is to stop using these tools because I instantly assume they are the reason. I know I am not the only one who feels this way.
What I appreciate about the Supersonic Nural is that it actually eases that worry. It adjusts its settings based on how close it is to the scalp, so there is no unnecessary heat damage. I have been using it a few times every week before heading to the office or joining meetings, and it has never once made my hair feel weaker or unhealthy. That peace of mind is what makes the price feel somewhat justified.
Still, I cannot ignore that the Diffuser attachment was of no real use for me. My hair type has become straighter over the years, so a tool meant to define curls or waves often sits unused. If I were spending my own money, that would definitely bother me because I would not be making full use of the package. For my hair, the Airwrap feels like a smarter investment since I could use every attachment. On the other hand, if your hair is naturally curly or wavy, this dryer will make perfect sense. It will give you everything you need in one product, and Dyson delivers that experience beautifully.
Dyson’s focus has always been on mastering a few categories deeply rather than diversifying too quickly. This deliberate strategy sets it apart from rivals who chase trends. Instead, Dyson invests in engineering consistency and long-term usability, aligning with the rise of conscious consumerism. By refining airflow precision, extending motor life, and optimizing recyclability across its lineup, Dyson demonstrates that innovation doesn’t always have to mean adding more tech. Sometimes, it means simplifying the experience while improving performance, which is what we can see in case with Neural.
If you’re still wondering if you should be buying this, then we should say it depends. If you own the Airwrap or the older Supersonic, there’s no urgent reason to upgrade. The improvements here focus more on comfort and safety than on a drastic jump in performance. But if you’re stepping into Dyson’s world for the first time, the Nural makes for an excellent starting point. It captures what the brand does best: effortless usability, premium feel, and intelligent protection for your hair and scalp. For those with curly or textured hair, it can even replace multiple styling tools, while straight-haired users will appreciate how quickly and gently it gets the job done. In short, it’s an investment in better hair habits rather than just a fancy new gadget.
