Dyson is dedicated to understanding the science of hair – it is the very foundation underpinning our hair tool technology. With sights set on engineering tools that not only create great style but help keep hair looking healthy, it is vital for Dyson engineers to understand every aspect of hair – what makes it strong, what causes it to thin and lose thickness and how to make it look as good as possible.

Dyson's Global Education Manager, Amy Johnson, dispells the myths and explains the science behind our hair, revealing her top styling tips for all hair types.

Dyson Global Education Manager, Amy Johnson, says: “There is no difference between male and female hair in terms of growth cycle and structure. Biologically, they are the same. However, there is a clear difference in the hair styles that men and women follow, which leads to the thinking that the makeup of their hair is different. If men had longer hair like women, it wold be more apparent that they will have the same shine, curls, waves and textures similar to women.”

“Many men struggle to style their hair’s natural shape to emulate popular styles. Another styling concern is the manageability factor - once hair has enough length to wave or curl, men may feel that it’s uncontrollable which is why they default to short hairstyles to minimise styling mistakes.”

“To address these, the first thing men need to think about is what styling tools they have at their disposal to use. The right hairdryer, with the right attachments, is essential for achieving specific looks and allows for greater experimentation with different styles.”

“Dyson’s Supersonic hair dryer is engineered for fast drying, with intelligent heat control to help protect shine. The attachments also cater to different hair types to help achieve varied hair styles.”

Leading male barber, Eoin McCarthy, at AREA Academy says: “Men love technology that works properly. Many of us don’t want to spend much time on our hair - but we still want it to look good! Therefore, we need to make it as easy as possible and the Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer does just that – by drying hair fast and without extreme heat damage. The range of attachments which are magnetic for easy fitting makes it simple for anyone to create a variety of styles from home.”
