Carry-on space is a precious thing. For my latest trip to the Philippines, I deliberately chose a small suitcase in order to pack light – but there was one issue: my Dyson Supersonic Nural hair dryer (which I refuse to travel without) took up a quarter of the space.
Embarking on a tropical vacation meant that I needed to make extra space for my hair health and prevent frizz wherever possible, and with Dyson’s intelligent heat control technology I knew that I could prevent extreme heat damage without destroying my hair.
Just my luck, the minute I touched back down on Australian shores, Dyson had announced the launch of their Supersonic Travel hair dryer, which is essentially a more compact version of their Dyson Supersonic. At 32% smaller and 25% lighter than the original, the Supersonic Travel is designed to slip easily into a handbag or cabin case.

A standout feature is the dryer’s automatic global voltage compatibility, meaning users won’t need a separate adapter to achieve full machine performance whether they’re in Melbourne, Paris, or Tokyo. What impresses me most, however, is the attention to hair health. The Dyson Supersonic Travel hair dryer uses the same intelligent heat control technology that measures airflow temperature 100 times per second, preventing extreme heat damage and drying your hair fast and efficiently.
Irinel de Leon, Global Styling Ambassador describes the hair dryer as “perfect for humid destinations or dry cabin air” as “the airflow precision helps lift roots while smoothing ends” making it “ideal for the modern traveller.”
The hair attachments, including the diffuser, flyaway attachment and wide tooth comb are fully compatible with all Supersonic hair dryers, and can be purchased separately.

After years of travel-day hair compromises, my search for the perfect on-the-go styling solution is finally over. For anyone who refuses to let travel days become bad hair days, this feels like the answer we’ve been waiting for.
The Dyson Supersonic Travel hair dryer is available now, retailing for $449 with the Styling Concentrator attachment included.
