Summer can be unpredictable, especially when it comes to your hair. The heat and humidity can transform your hair from straight to frizzy and a good blow dryer can save the day, especially in an unexpected hair emergency.

Dyson’s Supersonic Nural hair dryer is it’s “most intelligent” hair dryer yet. The 10-inch hair dryer features sensor technology that reduces heat damage and a slew of “new and improved” attachments including a gentle air attachment, styling concentrator, wave + curl diffuser, wide tooth comb and flyaway attachment.

The $500 hair dryer is equipped with sensors that automatically reduces heat as the Nural gets close to your head and a scalp protection mode that automatically reduces the heat to 131-degrees, an “optimum temperature for scalp comfort and drying speed,” per Dyson.

Depending on how close it is to your hair, the Nural’s LED lights will adjust from yellow (low heat) to orange (medium heat) or red (high heat) when in Scalp Protect mode.

I tested the Dyson’s Supersonic Nural hair dryer during a trip overseas, and it came in handy when my flat iron failed the vibe check. It’s surprisingly lightweight, not too bulky or loud, and works rather quickly.

Another bonus, the Nural is smooth to the touch and has a motion sensor that turns the blow dryer off when you put it down. Plus, it’s compact enough to throw in your luggage and take on summer vacation.

The Dyson Nural Supersonic hair dryer is available in vinca blue/topaz and ceramic patina/topaz at Dyson.com and major retailers such as Amazon, Ulta, Sephora, QVC, Best Buy, Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom.

It’s sundress season, and Beyoncé is ready to take on the summer. The “Jolene” singer hit pause on the cowboy hats and other Cowboy Carter era western wear to show off a retro-style, summery dress that’s almost out of stock.

Queen Bey posted photos on Instagram of herself wearing a white minidress, white sunglasses and a printed scarf on her head on Wednesday (June 26), but it didn’t take long for the BeyHive to track down her exact look.

According to StyleBeyonce, the Grammy winner posed in a Limmey Mini Dress from Charo Ruiz ($470), a Bottega Veneta scarf and cat-eye sunglasses from Miu Miu.

Made from cotton-blend lace, the dress features a cutout in the front with scalloped trims, a form-fitting bodice, cinched waist and flare skirt, per the product description. The dress is on sale at Net-a-Porter for $329 (30% off) but it’s almost out of stock.

You have to be quick when shopping online, so if you miss the opportunity to snag this lovely dress for summer, Charo Ruiz offers some alternatives, such as this Isaca Short Dress ($598) from the Ibiza collection and the Zannick Mini Dress ($599).
