Hair care 101: When science meets style

MANILA, Philippines — Smooth, shiny, voluminous hair is the standard women strive for when it comes to their crowning glory. But to achieve that effortless style, it takes more than just simple heat and drying. It requires sophisticated technology and innovation, only which Dyson Hair is able to deliver.

"Fast drying isn’t just about high-speed air. You also need the right balance of pressure and turbulence. You need to control the air, and make it stable," said Tom Crawford, global product development director, providing insight into what kicked off their innovation journey for Dyson.

Over the course of five years, more than 100 Dyson engineers studied 1,010 miles of hair in laboratories to understand the composition of human hair — from the cortex to the cuticle, root to tip — and how it reacts under the stresses of drying, brushing, coloring and the like.

They discovered that there was indeed an optimal set of conditions needed to achieve that beautiful volume and shine, while protecting your hair from heat damage.

Dyson design engineers found that effective drying requires a combination of heat and air, and this led to the invention of the Dyson Digital Motor V9, with a technology that dries hair fast without exposing it to extreme damage. Building on these insights further, Dyson also developed its Air Multiplier, which delivers powerful airflow and controlled heat.

Dyson marries science and innovation to create an effective product that solves an everyday style challenge.

The Dyson Digital Motor V9 maximizes Air Multiplier™ technology by projecting a jet of high-velocity air, angled at 20°. In addition, 13 impeller blades generate 3.5kPa of pressure and propel 13 liters of air up to the amplifier every second. This entrains surrounding air, multiplying the airflow threefold whilst keeping the jet smooth and controlled.

Even when spinning at 110,000 revolutions per minute, heat is controlled thanks to thermal sensors which measure the exit flow temperature 20 times per second. This data is collated and transmitted to the machine’s microprocessor, which intelligently keeps the temperatures at below 150°C, optimal for drying hair.

With every session using the Dyson hair dryer, you’re assured that not only can you achieve effortless style and volume, but your hair is kept protected from heat damage.
