Creating long-lasting styles with the Dyson Chitosan™ styling range

Imagine styling your hair, teasing it into an updo or creating perfect curls, only for your style to drop and lose its shape a few hours later.

To help keep your hair in place you may reach for hairsprays or holding gels. But sometimes these products can weigh down your hair, leaving it sticky or crunchy.

Dyson Chitosan™ styling products have been developed to give flexible, long-lasting hold across your styling routine. They prime and define your hair, while maintaining natural movement and shine.

Read on to learn how the Dyson Chitosan™ range helps to lock in your styles, and how to use the products in combination with your favourite Dyson hair tools.

Flexible all-day hold.¹ Without the crunch.

Dyson Chitosan™ styling products are our first hair care formulations.

They’re engineered for all hair types and powered by our hero hold ingredient chitosan – pronounced 'KAI·tuh·san' – a complex macromolecule, derived from oyster mushrooms.

Dyson Chitosan™ Pre-style cream helps lock in flexible hold and prime your hair ready for styling, while Dyson Chitosan™ Post-style serum is designed to hold and hydrate your end style and add instant shine and definition.

Both products condition the hair surface, reducing frizz by up to 50%¹ and giving a soft, shiny finish.

While conventional styling products create brittle, glue-like hold between fibres, Dyson Triodetic™ technology uses chitosan to help create flexible bonds that hold and condition hair, strand by strand.

Learn more about the formulations, their differences, and how to apply them in our article How to use Dyson Chitosan™ styling products in your hair styling routine.

Styling products and tools combined

Our Dyson Chitosan™ range is compatible with all styling routines, no matter the device you’re using. However, Dyson Chitosan™ Pre-style cream and Post-style serum are the only styling products specifically designed and tested to work with Dyson hair care devices.

They’re the perfect partner to help your styles last longer – from curls or blowouts styled with the Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler and dryer, to natural straight looks styled with the Dyson Airstrait™ straightener.

Let’s explore how to use the range with some of our Dyson tools.
