Get £70 off Dyson’s supersonic nural hair dryer
Since launching the airwrap, Dyson has also extended its supersonic hair dryer range. The nural was launched early this year and it’s not just a pretty face. I rely on the tool for drying my hair in less than 10 minutes, while the various attachments give me extra versatility when styling (the fly-away tamer is particularly good).
Dyson supersonic nural hair dryer ceramic patina: Was £399.99, now £329.99, Boots.com
An upgrade from the previous supersonic, Dyson’s nural hair dryer boasts scalp protect mode, which, uses sensor technology to constantly measure the distance the hair dryer is from your scalp and automatically adjusts the heat accordingly. With no burning sensations, it leads to a much nicer drying session. The best part? With this deal, it’s £70 off.

Thanks to the Amazon’s Black Friday sale, you can get the Kindle at its cheapest-ever price right now. Putting an entire library of literature in the palm of your hands, it’s a must-have device for book lovers. You can’t beat the feeling of a real book, but the Kindle comes close thanks to its lightweight and portable design.

Considered the best ereader in our review, The Independent’s tech critic David Phelan praised the device for being “really exceptional (gaining the top spot in this round-up)”. He added: “The front light has also been improved recently, to make it subtler and adjustable in terms of warmth as well as brightness. Like the oasis, the paperwhite is waterproof – it’s able to withstand submersion in 2m of water for up to an hour.”
The best Amazon cleaning and household deals
Amazon is the best destination online for stocking up on household essentials and cleaning products - especially during the Black Friday sales.
