I Tried the Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer and Can Never Go Back, And It's on Sale for Its Lowest Price Ever
I unwrapped the Dyson Supersonic Nural on Christmas morning and I'm not being dramatic when I say I let out a gasp. This thing had been sitting on my wishlist for months, but I never thought I'd actually own it. It felt like someone had handed me the crown jewels of hair tools. (Thanks, Mom!)
Fast-forward a few months and I can confidently say I'm obsessed with it. This isn't one of those fancy gadgets that ends up collecting dust in the back of a drawer or closet. I use it constantly, almost daily, and every time I do, I think, "Whoa, this really is that good."
The Dyson Supersonic Nural hair dryer usually isn't on sale. In fact, it's almost never on sale. But right now is the exception because for a limited time, you can find the Dyson Supersonic Nural on sale on Amazon for $399, a 20% discount from its usual $500 price tag.

How I use my super speedy Dyson hair dryer
Drying my hair used to be a whole production -- arms aching, sweating and annoyed by the end, and still somehow left with frizz and fly-aways. Now, it takes me under 10 minutes, which still kind of blows my mind. I have thick, slightly longer than shoulder-length hair that holds onto moisture like it's a job, so this is no small feat.
The Nural model has this cool feature where it senses how close it is to your scalp and adjusts the heat automatically. I didn't really get what that meant until I used it. Basically, it stops me from roasting my roots while still drying everything quickly.
The Supersonic comes with a number of attachments, including (right to left) a wide-tooth comb, a flyaway attachment, a gentle air attachment and a wave and curl diffuser.

I usually start with the smoothing nozzle when I want a sleek look, and if I'm feeling lazy or just running late, I'll just rough-dry with no attachment at all. On days when I decide to lean into my natural texture, the diffuser is a game-changer when I scrunch my hair into waves. It doesn't flatten out my curls or make them frizzy like my old dryer did.
It's also a lot quieter than I first expected and super lightweight. I've dried my whole head while half-asleep, coffee (or wine glass if it's evening time) in one hand, Dyson in the other. It really is that easy.
Why the Dyson makes a gasp-worthy gift
Honestly, this is one of those things I never would've bought for myself (hello, price tag), but now that I have it, I can't imagine going back. It's the ultimate "treat yourself" item, but in this case, someone else treated me and I'll never stop being grateful.
If you're looking for a gift that feels luxurious yet practical, this checks all the boxes. Especially now that it's on sale for Memorial Day at the lowest price ever -- seriously, now's the time.
My final thoughts
The Dyson Supersonic Nural isn't just hype; it's genuinely made my hair styling better. I don't dread drying my hair anymore. In fact, I kind of enjoy it? Which, for me, is a Christmas miracle in itself.
If you're on the fence about it or you've been eyeing it forever like I was, this Memorial Day sale might just be the nudge you need.

Stephen Miller Breaks Silence With ‘Pork' Prod at Elon Musk
Stephen Miller has broken his silence after Elon Musk turned on his billionaire bestie, Donald Trump. The deputy chief of staff, usually a prolific social media poster, had been silent for hours online after the volcanic fall out between the two men, despite social media erupting with Musk's bombshell allegations including a claim that the president was named in the Jeffrey Epstein files. It comes as Miller's wife, Katie, followed Elon Musk out of the White House and DOGE duties last month, reportedly for a new job working with the tech billionaire. While Miller did not tag Musk or mention any of the billionaire's personal claims about Trump in a belated Thursday night post, he instead took a jab by referencing a comment made by the 53-year-old earlier this week. 'The only 'new' spending in the bill is to defend the homeland and deport the illegals—paid for by raising visa fees. All the other provisions? Massive spending cuts. There is no 'pork' in the bill. Just campaign promises," Miller wrote. Miller was quoting a pointed comment made by Musk which claimed Trump's bill is a 'massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill,' adding it 'is a disgusting abomination.' The Trump confidante followed the veiled comment with another late-night post that read, 'Still trying to figure out what the objection is to a bill that combines record tax cuts with record spending cuts with record deportations.' Miller's relative silence on the issue was in stark contract with his flurry of posts throughout the week as the Musk and Trump drama boiled over, and the Trump adviser went on a posting spree in an attempt to save the bill's reputation. Miller also pulled out on a scheduled appearance on Larry Kudlow's Fox News show on Thursday afternoon, with the host apologizing for him. 'We lost Mr Miller to a meeting in the Oval Office,' Kudlow said. 'Perfectly understandable, when I was in government it would happen all the time, you'd have to kill a TV show, you're at the president's beck and call.' Miller then appeared in a White House discussion alongside Senior White House officials Taylor Budowich, Russ Vought and James Braid discuss Trump's 'big, beautiful bill.' The half-hour YouTube video was posted Thursday night, with Miller the first to speak. 'The most important thing in politics in American is honoring the promises you make to the American people, the sacred trust between the voter and the man they elect, in this case the president of the United States,' Miller said, noting the president made numerous promises on the campaign trail that 'are codified in this legislation.' Miller reposted numerous videos uploaded from the discussion to X by the White House's Rapid Response team. Musk earlier unfollowed Miller's account on X on Thursday, in an unfollowing spree that also included right-wing media personality Charlie Kirk. Appearing on Kirk's podcast on Thursday, Kirk said to Miller, 'I want you to say again that this would be one of the greatest legislative accomplishments in Republican party history.' Miller began the interview by telling Kirk, 'You've been such a critical element of the success of the MAGA movement. I hope your audience appreciates how much we appreciate you.' The interview descended into both men talking up the 'big beautiful bill.' 'If Ronald Reagan had just done no tax on tips, they'd still be giving speeches today about it at the Reagan Library,' Miller claimed. 'There'd be whole statues, there'd be museum displays, they'd have entire industries built off just telling the story of when Reagan did no tax on tips. Isn't that right Charlie?" The 30-minute discussion did not mention Elon Musk calling the bill a 'disgusting abomination' or his wife Katie's employment status. Miller did say he was 'optimistic' the bill would be passed 'because I have faith in the power of the Trump voter.'

Tesla shares rebound on news of Musk and Trump talks after explosive feud cost firm $99bn in a day
Tesla shares are poised to jump as much as 5.7 per cent when stock markets open in the US later today after the business took a $99bn (£73bn) hit following an explosive feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The share price of the electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer tanked from more than $322 at the start of Thursday's trading to $284 at the end of the day, more than a 14 per cent drop as a result of a back-and-forth argument between the pair, which covered everything from government contracts to the Epstein files. However, a ceasefire of sorts appears to have been brokered, and the two are due to meet on Friday - resulting in some investors surging back into Tesla stock. Even so, with futures markets showing around a 5.7 per cent rise in pre-trading just before 9am BST, that still means the market capitalisation of Tesla - the measure of its overall value by share price - will have dropped a full $99bn in a day. After-hours trading shows the buying and selling of shares outside of regular stock market opening hours, mostly dominated by big corporate investors. That is reflected in the futures price, which shows the stock price that a company will 'open' at. The large sell-off means Tesla has again lost its status as a $1tn company, though it still ranks in the top ten largest American companies. The one-day cost to Mr Musk's net worth personally was around $34bn (£25bn), according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index, at the time stock markets closed in the US. He remains the richest person on the planet by a distance. Separate from share price woes, Mr Trump's tax and spending Bill could be set to cost Tesla. Eliminating tax incentives for US buyers purchasing EVs, in addition to a similar scheme in California, could cost Tesla more than $3bn, analysts estimate. Outside of Tesla, Mr Musk's other business interests could be hard-hit too if the US president presses ahead with his threats to cancel government contracts with SpaceX. Other car manufacturers across the UK and Europe have not reacted with notable share price changes after the feud took place outside their trading hours on Thursday. German-listed Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes were largely flat in early trading, with the UK's Aston Martin Lagonda up 2 per cent. Ferrari is listed in New York and is up 0.4 per cent in pre-trading, with General Motors at 0.5 per cent and Toyota's US listing set to open 0.3 per cent up.

Trump-Musk Feud Fallout: DJT Fell 8% As Trump's Fortune Slides By $200M
Shares of Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of the president's Truth Social platform, fell by more than 8% on Thursday and wiped more than $200 million from President Donald Trump's net worth, as the president publicly clashed with billionaire Elon Musk—whose personal fortune nosedived nearly $27 billion amid a selloff in Tesla shares. Truth Social's parent company, Trump Media and Technology group's shares fell by 8% amid the ... More Musk-Trump feud. The stock price of Trump Media and Technology Group, which trades on Nasdaq under the DJT ticker, dropped by 8.04% on Thursday to $20.12. The social media company's shares began the day slightly in the red, but fell steeply in afternoon trading as Musk alleged, without evidence, that Trump's name was on the 'Epstein files,' and backed calls for his impeachment. Musk's side of the feud mostly played out on the billionaire's social media platform, X, while the president used his Truth Social platform to respond, where he threatened to 'terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts.' Amid the intense social media feud, several users reported on Downdetector that the TMTG-owned platform was inaccessible to them, with the President's personal feed appearing blank with the message 'No Truths.' According to our estimates, President Donald Trump's net worth stood at $5.4 billion early on Friday, after dropping around $202 million amid Thursday's selloff. Despite this, the president's fortune remains more than double what it was at the start of 2024. In after-hours trading, Trump Media's shares briefly slumped to $19.30. However, signs of a potential truce between Musk and Trump have triggered a slight recovery in the premarket. In early trading on Friday, the social media company's share price went up around 1.15% to $20.35. Tesla has also seen a recovery, with the electric vehicle maker's stock price rising by 4.55% to just below $298.
