Dyson launches first haircare-meets-styling products, Dyson Chitosan™

Dyson is taking its next step into the world of beauty with its first ever wet line styling products, the Dyson Chitosan™ formulations range for flexible all day hold¹ with movement and shine. Powered by chitosan, a complex macromolecule derived from oyster mushrooms and engineered with Dyson Triodetic™ technology, the range is the result of over a decade of investment in hair health, with Dyson now expanding its research capabilities into ingredient science.

“Whilst some other styling products use simple polymers that stick the strands of hair together like glue. Dyson’s formulas work differently. When used in Dyson Chitosan™ formulas, the complex macromolecule helps create flexible bonds that support hair strand by strand, for flexible all day hold, with movement and shine.”

Products to prime and define

One Hero Ingredient

The range is powered by chitosan, a complex macromolecule derived from oyster mushrooms and engineered with Dyson Triodetic™ technology for all day flexible hold. Watch the story below to learn more.

Engineered with Dyson Triodetic™ Technology

  • The Problem


    Some other styling products create brittle, glue-like hold between fibres, which can make hair feel rigid and crunchy.

  • The Dyson Solution


    Dyson Triodetic™ technology flexibly locks in styles, strand by strand, with a lightweight structure of bonds. So hair can move, flex and recall its style, in unison with the rest.

Precision dosing. Refillable products.

Dyson’s research and development didn't stop at the formulas. When exploring delivery systems, engineers uncovered frustrations with existing solutions like tubes or jars and decided to design one in-house to combat them. The Dyson-engineered precision applicator is rigorously tested to deliver the same amount, pump after pump. An exact 0.22ml is dispensed every time, helping to prevent product wastage or overuse. The full-size formulation packaging are refillable using inner cartidges, and the outer packaging is tested and built to last.

“The promise of flexible retention with movement and shine is an innovation that I know from over 20 years of work as a celebrity stylist, will benefit so many. This is exactly why Dyson wanted to find a solution to common frustrations with their first product line and design something for all hair types.”
