Dyson Launches New 'Supersonic' Hair Dryer To Revolutionize Hair Care (nbcnews.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the throw-in-the-towel dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Dyson has a launched a hair dryer with a design language similar to that of its bladeless fans. The $399 hair dryer is four years in the making, involving 103 engineers, over 1,000 miles of test hair, and a $71 million investment -- the Dyson Supersonic is being touted as "the hairdryer rethought" by its inventor Sir James Dyson. "We realized that hair dryers can cause extreme heat damage to hair," said Dyson in a press release. "So I challenged Dyson engineers to really understand the science of hair and develop our version of a hair dryer, which we think solves these problems." The hair dryer can be reserved online and will be sold exclusively at Sephora for $399 this fall.

      He did say "suitable for human habitation," not "Minnesota."

    I even cooked the bacon without my shirt on too (put it in the oven at 375 about 15-20min until it's golden brown, stays straight, no splattering).

    I too appreciate when my shirts stay straight and have no splatters on them, but I think if you just bought your shirts in golden brown colour to begin with you could bake them for just one minute, and they'd still come out toasty warm.
