Science, not guesswork
At Dyson, we want to know everything there is to know about hair. We're obsessed with the science behind hair and use it to engineer our technology. No guesswork, no gimmicks, just tried and tested science.
What your hair type means for you
Understanding your hair type can help you learn how to define and take care of your hair – and choose the best technology for you. We can roughly categorize 'hair shape' into four main groups. Each is then split into three subtypes – A, B, C – to describe the intensity of the curl pattern, with ‘A’ being the looser shape.
Hair density vs hair thickness
Hair thickness can be made up of two factors – density and strand width. Density is the amount of strands you have, while width is the thickness of the strand.
If you're not sure what strand width your hair is, take a piece and rub between two fingers. If it feels like cotton, your hair is coarse. If you can barely feel it, your hair is fine.
Avoiding exposure to excessive heat
-
Maintaining scalp health
Dyson’s Intelligent heat control helps protect the scalp barrier from excessive heat and maintain its moisture levels. Scalp protect mode in our latest hair dryer adds an extra layer of care for your scalp.
-
Retaining moisture
Excessive heat can make hair more porous – meaning it can gain or lose water easily. The imbalance can weaken hair and reduce style retention.
-
Preventing breakage
Overexposure to excessive temperatures can weaken the bonds in the hair. Losing strength and elasticity over time can make it more prone to breakage.
-
Enhancing shine
Hair can look dull, if damaged, as a result of cuticles lifting and scattering light. But when hair is healthy and aligned, it reflects light evenly – appearing shiny.
In a recent survey, 70% of people said they are concerned about their scalp.¹

Globally, 7/10 respondents say their hair is damaged.¹

Healthy scalp, healthy growth
Damaging your scalp barrier within two weeks in which hair follicle first grows can impact the hair's development. Keeping your scalp healthy and balanced will help your hair to reach potential healthy growth.

Balancing act
The scalp consists of a complex microbiome, but an imbalance can lead to skin irritation, inflammation and follicle damage. Other factors can include genetics, hormones, pollution and extreme weather.

Cleaning up myths
Washing your hair regularly promotes a healthy scalp microbiome and can keep your hair free of pollutants. However, ‘training your scalp to become less oily by washing it less' is a myth, so balance is key.

For each hair type
Consider your hair type when washing or treating your hair, as the requirements can vary. For example, some hair types may need different frequencies and formulations for the best results.
