Every hair dryer blows hot air at a fixed temperature and relies on the user to know what their hair needs. The Dyson Supersonic Nural does something different: a network of Nural sensors monitors the machine’s proximity to the scalp, recognizes which attachment is in use, and adjusts temperature and airflow automatically based on what it detects. Amazon has it at $327, down from its $449 standard price and the lowest this hair dryer has ever been sold for. This deal requires Prime membership, and the 30-day trial runs without a card.

Sensors that read your scalp and attachments that remember your preferences
Scalp protect mode is the feature that most hair dryer manufacturers haven’t attempted: the Nural sensors detect when the machine is close to the scalp and automatically lower the heat to maintain a target temperature of 130°F at the scalp surface, regardless of which heat setting is selected. That protection activates without requiring the user to change settings mid-dry, which is the moment most people either forget to adjust temperature or don’t know they should. The result is that close-up root drying, which is where most heat damage to the scalp occurs, happens at a controlled temperature rather than at whatever the global heat setting is running.
