Dyson’s first hair care formulations
Dyson’s next step in the world of beauty lies in its first-ever wet line styling products—the Dyson Chitosan range, comprising of the Pre-Style Cream and Post-Style Serum. As the name suggests, the hero ingredient, Chitosan, is a complex macromolecule derived from the cell walls of oyster mushrooms. It is what that flexibly locks in styles without stickiness, brittleness or crunch, allowing hair to move, flex and recall its style, even if the day’s drenched in humidity. One can also achieve a much hydrated hair with up to 50 per cent less frizz, a promise not many products can offer.
