Dyson's airwrap and supersonic hair tools have £100 off today
The supersonic (Dyson's best-selling hair dryer) was the first of the brand's beauty ventures – first joining its impressive ranks of vacuums and fans in 2016 – and, ever since, Dyson's hair tool releases have continued to showcase the best in haircare innovation, but they don't come cheap.
If you've yet to try one of these top-rated tools for yourself, you'll be pleased to know you can currently secure some serious reductions on everything from the air wrap to the corrale straighteners.
In a sales event, the brand is coining 'Dyson week', you can save up to £100 on hair tools (and up to £150 on other select devices). This can only mean one thing: smooth, sleek locks for the rest of summer.
Dyson airwrap id, vinca blue/topaz: Was £479.99, now £379.99, Dyson.co.uk
Discounted in its curly and coily variety, Dyson's airwrap id styler boasts six attachments and a sleek faux leather case. After testing the device for an in-depth review, beauty expert Elena Chabo praised the tool's 'speedy and effective' performance, describing how it took her hair from wet to voluminous and curly with ease.
Elena made good use of the id's functionality – which connects the airwrap to your smartphone, so you can input details about your hair and styling preferences – and explained how it can 'halve your styling time and minimise damage to hair'. This is because the id technology will wrap, heat and cool your hair in one fell swoop, without you needing to change settings (or risk overheating your hair).
As for the diffuser attachment, Elena was impressed by how 'the speedy and effective Dyson airflow combined with the perfectly cupped diffuser design for undeniable results'. All in all, she found that the airwrap id excelled in its field and, with £100 off, now is a great time to try it for yourself for less.
If you fall into the straight and wavy category, you'll be pleased to know the ceramic patina/topaz airwrap id is also reduced by £80 (£399.99, Dyson.com).
When this model was put to the test as part of a roundup of the best hair dryers, Sheilla Mamona and I found that the device was a game-changer for straight and coily hair types.
While Sheilla enjoyed the comb attachment and remarked how it's 'ideal for simultaneously blow drying and detangling even the coilest curls', I loved how the auto-react feature adjusts the dryer's heat output to help keep moisture in the areas where your hair needs it. This deal is too good to miss for those after a glossy, smooth finish and salon-worthy locks.
Dyson airstrait straightener, prussian blue/rich copper: Was £449.99, now £349.99, Dyson.co.uk
IndyBest's global IndyBest editor, Eva Waite-Taylor, got her hands on Dyson's airstrait straightener ahead of the crowds, and likened its results to those achieved in a salon. With her long, thick and slightly wavy hair, Eva was impressed to see how the wet-to-dry styler left her locks feeling 'light and healthy', not to mention 'it still had a salon-quality bounce to it the following day'. As for the drying time, Eva compared her usual 45-minute routine with a considerably quicker 15-20 minute airstrait session, and found the device to be surprisingly quiet. Don't miss out while this time-saver is reduced by £100.
If you prefer the versatility of a traditional hot-plate straightener, the Dyson corrale will be just the ticket. When assistant IndyBest editor Sarah Jones put this model to the test in her review of the best cordless straighteners. Using it for both straightening and curling, she found that the curved body of the tool was 'ideal for creating loose waves' and the results lasted well.
The cordless design is an obvious advantage versus traditional straighteners, and offers up to 30 minutes of cord-free styling (making this model ideal for travelling, too). In fact, Sarah noted that the lack of wires means it's 'very easy to reach around tricky sections, such as the back of the head', adding she was able to straighten her locks fully in just five minutes – far quicker than normal. Secure yours while this deal's still available (and stock lasts).

Barclays follows HSBC out of the Net Zero Banking Alliance
Barclays has followed HSBC in withdrawing from the Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), claiming that the departure of a host of other global lenders means the organisation "no longer has the membership to support our transition". 1 Founded in 2021, the UN-convened NZBA requires members to commit to "transition the operational and attributable greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from their lending and investment portfolios to align with pathways to net-zero by 2050 or sooner". At its peak it had around 150 members, including most of the world's largest banks. However, that number has dwindled in the last few months. At the beginning of 2025, ahead of Donald Trump's return to the White House, a host of US banks, including JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citi, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo, pulled out of the global climate-focused alliance. The American banks quit amid attacks from Republicans on "woke" capitalism, with the House Judiciary Committee, led by Republican Jim Jordan, claiming that financial environmental alliances have created "a climate cartel". Now, UK-headquartered HSBC and Barclays have joined their US counterparts. Barclays says it is committed to its "ambition" to be a net zero bank by 2050. Says a statement: "Our targets to mobilise $1 trillion of Sustainable and Transition Financing and for financed emissions remain unchanged. We continue to work with our clients on their transition, finance the transition and scale climate tech, while helping to ensure energy security for our customers and clients." Earlier this week, the CEO of Standard Chartered, Bill Winters, hit out at banks that have rowed back on their climate commitments. 'People that said a lot of stuff, but [when] it was fashionable to say it, [and] who are saying either nothing or the opposite now: shame on them,' said Winters, according to the Guardian.

Drivers should be ‘very pessimistic' over car finance claims, say lawyers
Drivers should be 'very pessimistic' about getting any compensation for taking out a car loan after a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court, experts have warned. Industry analysts also said on Friday that banks will 'breathe a sigh of relief' after the Supreme Court ruled they are not liable for hidden commission payments in car finance schemes. Nevertheless, the financial watchdog has said it is still considering whether to launch a redress scheme for consumers who potentially receive compensation. Lawyers have also indicated that some consumers should still consider pursuing their claims over 'unfair' treatment. Two lenders, FirstRand Bank and Close Brothers, went to the UK's highest court to challenge a Court of Appeal ruling which found 'secret' commission payments paid by buyers to car dealers in agreements before 2021 without the motorist's fully informed consent were unlawful. The ruling last year found three motorists, who all bought their cars before 2021, should receive compensation. But in a decision on Friday, justices at the UK's highest court overturned the Court of Appeal, though some customers could still receive payouts by bringing claims under the Consumer Credit Act (CCA). Lawyers for the lenders told the Supreme Court at a three-day hearing in April the decision was an 'egregious error', while the Financial Conduct Authority intervened in the case and claimed the ruling 'goes too far'. However, the judges upheld a claim brought by one driver under the CCA that his relationship with the finance company had been 'unfair', awarding him the commission amount of £1,650.95 plus interest. Lizzy Comley, chief operating officer of consumer law firm Slater and Gordon, said the ruling still reinforces the right of many consumers to pursue claims. She said: 'This landmark ruling is positive news for the millions of people who have lost money due to the car finance mis-selling. 'The court confirmed that for years, consumers have potentially been unfairly overcharged on car finance agreements, and this ruling reinforces their right to pursue justice and recover the compensation they deserve.' However, others have said that the ruling will make it harder for most claims. Nicola Pangbourne, partner at Kennedys law firm, said: 'If I was a driver, I would be very pessimistic about getting compensation. There's now quite a few hurdles they've got to get through.' Industry experts have suggested the ruling will be broadly seen as a success for lenders, who had been preparing for significant compensation payments. Caroline Wayman, global head of financial Services at PA Consulting, said: 'Lenders will breathe a sigh of relief at the ruling, but it should still be a wake-up call for firms to scrutinise any large, undisclosed commissions in their business. 'Firms should ask themselves whether it still feels justifiable or could be considered unfair, particularly if they haven't disclosed commercial ties to the broker and it won't be enough to expect customers to have read and understood the fine print.' On Friday, a spokesperson for the Financial Conduct Authority said after the ruling that it would confirm whether it will consult on any such scheme by 8am on Monday. They said: 'We want to bring greater certainty for consumers, firms and investors as quickly as possible.'

Lime loses contract to operate e-bikes in Hounslow
A west London council has ended a two-year trial allowing Lime e-bikes in the Council has instead offered a contract to rival e-bike rental firms Forest and Voi, listing "stricter enforcement for designated bay use" as one of the benefits of the updated scheme. BBC London reported complaints from a resident in 2023 who claimed Lime bikes were deliberately being parked in "dangerous places".A Lime spokesperson said: "We're disappointed by Hounslow Council's decision. We're proud of our bid, which we believe offered the best overall value for Hounslow residents." The contract, which will give Voi and Forest exclusive operating rights in the borough, will begin on 11 August. A council spokesperson said the decision followed a competitive procurement process "shaped by widespread community feedback" requesting stronger parking compliance and more affordable pricing. There are more than 250 e-bike parking bays across Hounslow and the council said it is "reviewing enforcement procedures to "maintain clear pavements and discourage poor parking behaviour". The move follows a wider crackdown on poor e-bike parking across London's boroughs - with all firms facing some degree of criticism. Transport for London (TfL) said in June it had begun issuing fixed penalty notices to Lime and Forest for abandoned e-bikes on the capital's February, the City of London seized more than 100 e-bikes to tackle pavement firms have said they are working to address issues around users' poor parking. Hounslow Council's spokesperson said that since the e-bike scheme began in 2023, more than 1.7 million journeys have been made, with 127,000 made in June this year alone. The Lime spokesperson said: "We're also disappointed for the thousands of Hounslow residents that rely on our bikes daily to connect to other areas of London. "Built over seven years operating in the capital, Lime's service has allowed people living in Hounslow to access all parts of the city, and cycle as far as Hackney and Lewisham in one easy journey."They added that since launching in the borough, the number of Lime rides has more than doubled year-on-year.
