Usually when you wash and dry your hair at home, you end up with flyaways.
Those are the little bits of hair that fly away from your head – creating a frazzled, bushy look.
Now Dyson has created a new Flyaway Attachment for its Supersonic hair dryer that solves this with a brilliant quirk of physics.
Better yet, the Flyaway Attachment comes with new Supersonic hair dryers – or can be bought separately if you already own the machine.

So how does it work?
Dyson says the new attachment uses something called the Coanda Effect.
That normally relates to how fluid will move around and stick to the surface of a curved object – and even how a curved object will adhere to an airflow.
But Dyson has managed to capture this strange effect to manage flyaways.
The curved barrel of the attachment attracts and lifts longer hairs to the front.
Meanwhile a second jet pushes the flyaways through the tress and “out of sight”.
This means you end up with greater hair strand alignment, and supposedly a more natural shine.

“Nothing feels as good as that salon blow-dry finish,” said Jen Atkin, Dyson’s global styling ambassador.
“The trick to tame annoying flyaways is a core skill for a stylist.
“However, we want our clients to now be able to get that same glossy finish at home.
“Dyson’s latest attachment does exactly that – it allows smooth-seekers to get a super sleek finish, on their own, not just from the salon.”
You still get the same selection of attachments in the box as well as the new Flyaway add-on – including a Wide Tooth Comb, a re-engineered Diffuser and Styling Concentrator.

The Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer is available for £299.99 with the attachment included.
