Dyson has launched a travel-sized version of its popular Supersonic hair dryer, promising the same powerful airflow and heat-control technology in a smaller, lighter package. The Supersonic Travel dryer is about a third smaller than the original, measuring 7.1 x 22.2 x 6.8cm and weighing just 0.33kg. It features universal voltage compatibility, making it suitable for use worldwide.
The dryer uses Dyson's high-speed digital motor, which spins at 110,000rpm, to generate strong airflow for fast drying without excessive heat. Its heat control system monitors air temperature multiple times per second to prevent overheating and reduce the risk of dehydration and heat damage. The travel model has two airflow speeds and two heat settings, plus a cool shot, offering four styling combinations.
In testing, the Supersonic Travel dried mid-length curly hair in just under 10 minutes, comparable to a full-size premium dryer and faster than a basic model. The compact design makes it easy to pack in main luggage or even a carry-on bag. It comes with a smoothing concentrator nozzle that attaches magnetically, and it is compatible with existing Supersonic attachments, though smart functions on Nural attachments will not work.
The dryer has a ceramic matt-pink finish and is comfortable to hold. It can be connected to the MyDyson app for styling guides and maintenance advice, but speed and heat are controlled manually via buttons on the device. The Supersonic Travel is priced at a premium, but offers a solution for those seeking salon-quality hair while travelling.
