Dyson is expanding damage-reducing dryer brushes with the Airsmooth, a styling tool designed to dry, smooth and lift hair while limiting heat and mechanical stress. Its patented dual-bristle system combines Anti-snag bristles that collapse to release strands with PivotFlex bristles that flex up to 90 degrees to control airflow and create tension without excessive tangling. Intelligent heat control measures temperature 100 times per second, helping prevent unnecessary heat exposure while styling different hair textures.
The Airsmooth allows Dyson to extend its hair technology portfolio into the popular dryer-brush category while differentiating through its airflow and bristle engineering. Its one-step functionality could appeal to consumers seeking faster routines without sacrificing hair health. Priced at $249.99 and launching through major beauty and retail channels, the device also gives Dyson another entry point into the premium styling market.
