Black Friday deal alert: The Dyson Supersonic Nural hair dryer is available for $399 — a discount of 27%, or $151 off its usual $550 price tag — on Amazon as part of the retailer’s Black Friday sale. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen on this product yet, and since it doesn’t go on sale often, we don’t expect a discount like this to return anytime soon.
Fast-forward a few months and I can confidently say I’m completely obsessed with it. This isn’t one of those luxe gadgets that ends up collecting dust in the back of a closet or drawer. I use it pretty much daily, and every time I do, I think, «Whoa, this really is that good.»

How I use my super speedy Dyson hair dryer
Drying my hair used to be a whole production — arms aching, sweating and annoyed by the end, and still somehow left with frizz and flyaways. Now, it takes me under 10 minutes, which still kind of blows my mind. I have thick, slightly longer than shoulder-length hair that holds onto moisture like it’s a job, so this is no small feat.
The Nural model has a cool feature that senses how close it is to your scalp and adjusts the heat automatically. I didn’t really get what that meant until I used it. Basically, it stops me from roasting my roots while still drying everything quickly.
I usually start with the smoothing nozzle when I want a sleek look, but if I’m feeling lazy or just running late, I’ll just rough-dry with no attachment at all. On days when I decide to lean into my natural texture, the diffuser is a game-changer when I scrunch my hair into waves. It doesn’t flatten out my curls or make them frizzy like my old dryer did.
It’s also a lot quieter than I expected and super lightweight. I’ve dried my whole head while half-asleep, coffee (or wine if it’s the evening) in one hand, Dyson in the other. It really is that easy.
Why the Dyson makes a gasp-worthy gift
Honestly, this is one of those things I never would’ve bought for myself (hello, price tag), but now that I have it, I can’t imagine going back. It’s the ultimate «treat yourself» item, but in this case, someone else treated me and I’ll never stop being grateful.
If you’re looking for a gift that feels luxurious yet practical, this checks all the boxes. Especially now that it’s on sale at the lowest price ever. Seriously, now’s the time.
My final thoughts
The Dyson Supersonic Nural isn’t just hype; it’s genuinely made my hair styling better. I don’t dread drying my hair anymore. In fact, I kind of enjoy it? Which, for me, is pretty amazing.
If you’re on the fence about it or you’ve been eyeing it forever like I was, this sale might just be the nudge you need.
