The Supersonic r Curly+Coily edition is Dyson's compact professional-style dryer packaged for textured hair. It uses a new ergonomic format that Dyson says makes hard-to-reach areas easier to dry, and this kit adds a diffuser and a wide tooth comb aimed at curls and coils. The main appeal is precision: a streamlined flow heater and intelligent attachments with expert presets.

Our take
The Supersonic r format
Dyson describes the r as smaller and lighter with its fastest drying, and says frizz can be reduced by up to 46%. The comparison basis sits in a footnote that is not reproduced on the listing, so the figure is Dyson's own claim. The ergonomic shape is designed for control when drying the back and sides of the head.
A streamlined flow heater focuses heat and airflow evenly. Rated power is 1,700 W, with four speeds and four settings in the spec table, and a weight of 780 g as listed.
Attachments for curls and coils
The box contains a diffuser, a wide tooth comb, a flyaway attachment, a powerful air attachment and a professional concentrator. Dyson says the intelligent attachments have temperature and airflow preset by experts and remember your preferred settings.
For curly and coily hair, the diffuser handles definition while the wide tooth comb helps stretch and detangle during drying. The spec table lists coily and curly as the target hair types.
Noise and handling
The listing does not give a decibel figure for this edition. Its compact format may help with manoeuvring, but the 780 g figure is heavier than lightweight rivals such as the Laifen Swift Special at 407 g. The listing does not state cable length either. Anyone with long, dense curls should expect drying sessions where weight becomes noticeable, so the ergonomic grip matters more here than on a quick daily rough-dry. Hanging storage or a wall mount is not mentioned.
Against the Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex and Dyson Supersonic Nural
The Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex includes a DefrizzFast diffuser and folds for storage, with auto-adjusting settings per attachment. The Dyson Supersonic Nural with the Wave+curl diffuser uses Dyson's sensor-led design instead of the r format. This Curly+Coily r stands out for its comb and textured-hair focus.
Verdict
Choose the Supersonic r Curly+Coily if you have curls or coils and want a compact Dyson with a diffuser and wide tooth comb. If a folding body and travel size matter, the Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex fits better, and if you want Dyson's sensing features, compare the Supersonic Nural.
