The four-year investment will facilitate the opening of new beauty research labs and the development of 20 new beauty products across the next four years.
Dyson’s research into hair care underpins its hair and beauty products.
Dyson is commiting half a billion GBP to expand and accelerate its research and technology development across its beauty portfolio, announcing plans to launch 20 new beauty products in the next four years.
Alongside this investment, Dyson also releases the results of its most comprehensive hair research study, deepening understanding of hair types, styling behaviours and perceptions of hair types and hair health around the world.
Key Study Findings
Hair perceptions & hair health misconceptions:
- 7 in 10 respondents say their hair is damaged, with dandruff, hair loss and greying hair as top concerns. However, these are not damage concerns. 67% of all respondents also agree their hair is healthy, despite it being damaged.
- However, respondents seem to understand what ‘healthy’ hair looks and feels like, describing it as shiny (36%), smooth (29%) and linking it to a healthy scalp (26%).

Philips introduces intelligent SenseIQ technology for its new Hair Dryer Prestige and Hair Straightener Prestige. Price and availability below.
SenseIQ technology offers personalised care for healthy hair, enabling the Philips Hair Dryer and Straightener Prestige to sense and adapt to the hair’s temperature and characteristics to provide personalised heat protection, styling and care.
Both the Philips Hair Dryer Prestige and the Hair Straightener Prestige offer an alternative to “one-size fits all” offerings in haircare in an industry that is pushing steadily towards technology-backed, personalized products and experiences.
Local Pricing and Availability
The Philips Hair Dryer Prestige (BHD628/03) and Hair Straightener Prestige (BHS830/00) with SenseIQ technology is now available in Singapore at the recommended retail price of S$249 each.
It will be available at the Philips e-store and all Philips-authorized retailers.
The Philips SenseIQ technology is activated through infrared sensors that continually sense the hair’s temperature, not the airflow, so the level of protection is completely personalized.
The intelligent microprocessor analyzes the data captured by the sensor and adjusts the temperature up to 4,000 times for the hair dryer and up to 20,000 times for the straightener to prevent overheating.
This sensing and adapting technology protects hair while drying, locking-in up hair’s natural moisture, for shiny and healthy-looking hair.

So we’re in this period of great stress when everyone around the world is affected in one way or another by the COVID-19 pandemic. Here’s something to “rejuvenate” the skin from the ravishes of life.
* Review submitted by guest reviewer, Jennifer Lee. This review was first published on Haleness Me.
“Rejuvenate” Nutri-Serum Concentrate from Kumuya.
I came by a bottle of Kumuya “Rejuvenate” Nutri-Serum Concentrate and gave it to a friend to try out.
She was so pleased with it that she volunteered to write me a review for it.
Verdict
Oil-free Kumuya is surprisingly lightweight and wearable than most products I’ve used.
I like that Kumuya provides the added benefit as a plant-derived alternative to retinol.
So here’s something outside of tech for our reading pleasure on a lazy Sunday.
The Product
Kumuya Rejuvenate is a cream-coloured, gel-serum packed with powerful actives and micronutrients to stimulate and repair skin structure.
An anti-aging serum, it restores radiance and suppleness on the skin, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production and nourishing the skin with vitamins and minerals.
