Dyson added the Supersonic r to its hair dryer lineup. It’s the brand’s lightest, smallest and most expensive model to date.

I tried Dyson’s newest blow-dryer to see how it measures up to the other Supersonic models and find out if its worth the premium price tag.

The Dyson Supersonic r Professional will remain on sale on Dyson’s 'For Business' website page as well as via select trade distributors. It looks like the two versions are identical, except the 'Professional' version has a longer cable, making it more suited to use in a salon. The Pro version also has different colorways.

Dyson’s new hair dryer promises faster drying, less damage, and frizz-free shine. With smart sensors and an innovative diffuser, does it truly justify the high price tag?

Does Dyson’s newest hair dryer actually live up to the hype? A few months ago, I had a consultation at Yukie Natori New York Salon & Spa when a specialist told me I was doing everything wrong with my hair.

Since its launch just over a year ago, Dyson’s upgraded Supersonic r hairdryer has only been available for purchase by salons and professional stylists. But today the company announced the styling tool will be available to everyone in the US starting tomorrow, and in April for those in Europe, according to a report by Yahoo.

The new launch has been described as Dyson’s most powerful and lightweight hair dryer yet. Setting it apart from the other tools in the range, the pro hair dryer boasts a unique “r” design, making it 20 per cent smaller and 30 per cent lighter than the original supersonic, adding to its user-friendly appeal.

The Supersonic r hair dryer might be the cutest hair tool — and professional hair stylists and fashion week glam teams have been the only ones to try it until now
