Dyson's new lightweight 'Supersonic r' hairdryer looks a lot like a periscope

The Dyson Supersonic r is a tube-shaped hair dryer that dwarfs its predecessor, and it's surprisingly light.

The buttons for three precise airflow settings and four heat modes (including constant cold shot) are just a thumb-click away. This feature allows the hair dryer to automatically adjust the motor and heater accordingly, in order to deliver optimal airflow and temperature to suit the purpose. If you happen to be a US-based hairstylist with a valid cosmetology license, feel free to join the waitlist, and your salon can pick up a Supersonic r as soon as April.
