Dyson Airwrap Review

If you often struggle to style your long hair, we recommend getting the Dyson Airwrap. It is a 2-in-1 dryer and styler designed especially for long hair.

The Dyson Airwrap makes it easy to dry, curl, shape and smoothen long hair. It comes with updated attachments that are easier to use and provide additional styling options.

What Are You Buying?

1. Styler and Dryer for Long Hair

Long hair can be challenging to handle. Any imperfections are easily noticeable and flyaways caused by frizzy or damaged hair can cause a bad hair day, everyday.

You can certainly use a regular blow dryer plus additional tools like a curler and brushes to dry and style your hair. But these have major disadvantages. One, most blow dryers use high heat that can damage your hair. Two, it’s a slow process.  I know many long-haired women who regularly take an hour or more each morning just working on their hair.

Three, it can be difficult to obtain that smooth salon-worthy blowout especially if you have frizzy, dry or fine hair.

The Dyson Airwrap is a lot more expensive than a blow dryer, but it makes styling long hair so much easier and faster, with better results.

The Airwrap can dry your hair and style it at the same time. With the included attachments, you don’t need to switch between different tools when styling your hair. You can smooth, curl, volumize and lift your hair using the Airwrap.

A lot of users say the Dyson Airwrap has cut down their hair routine to just 15 minutes.

2. Coanda Effect Hair Styler

One of the biggest advantages of using the Dyson Airwrap is that it uses less heat on your hair, while often delivering better results than a traditional hair dryer.

One of the reasons it’s so good is how it’s engineered to emit air. The Dyson Airwrap uses the Coanda effect to produce powerful airflow (here’s a Havard video explaining the science behind this phenomena).

The Coanda effect occurs when air follows the contour of a curved surface. This allows the Airwrap to curl and style your hair without relying on extreme heat. Here’s a Dyson video showing how it works.

3. Updated Version with Re-engineered Attachments

The value of the Dyson Airwrap is in the attachments that it comes with. The package includes six attachments that you attach to the main styler body.

By the way, these are new attachments that have been re-engineered to be easier to use and provide more versatility when it comes to styling hair. They include:

• A Coanda smoothing dryer for drying hair. You can also use it at the end to smoothen hair and catch any strays and flyaways.
• Two long barrels (30mm and 40mm wide) that use the Coanda effect to curl hair. Unlike older versions where you had to switch between two attachments, you can use a single barrel to curl hair in either direction, making the process easier and faster.
• Three styling brushes: a firm smoothing brush for thicker or coarser hair, a soft smoothing brush for finer hair, and a round volumising brush.

4. Adjustable Speed and Temperature With Cold Shot

When it comes to the controls, the Dyson Airwrap has pretty much the same settings as other hair dryers. You’ll find the controls quite familiar.

There’s a button for adjusting temperature from low to high and another for adjusting air speed from low to high. The other button sets the dryer to off, on or cold shot (releases a blast of cold air to set your hair in a specific style).

How Easy Is The Dyson Airwrap To Use?

As I’ve just mentioned, the controls of the Dyson Airwrap are familiar if you have ever used a hair dryer. Where you might take some time to get comfortable is using the attachments. I recommend trying all of them out and seeing how they work.

But generally, the attachments are easy to use and there are plenty of videos, including the Dyson tutorial above, that will guide you.

The biggest difference most women have noticed between the Airwrap and traditional hair dryers is just how quick it is. Once you learn how to use the various attachments and figure out what air speed and heat level works best for your hair, you will spend significantly less time on your hair each morning.

What Accessories Are Included?

The package includes the Dyson Airwrap, the six attachments we mentioned above and a blue storage case.

The storage case is particularly handy for travelling. It has a beautiful prussian blue finish, a soft cushioning inside, a removable lid and a non-slip mat for placing the styler on.

The Dyson Airwrap also comes with a filter cleaning brush. Yes, the Dyson Airwrap has a filter that can get quite grimy with hair and other particles. Make sure you clean it often.

Pros

• Makes styling long hair easier and faster.
• Provides a wide range of styling options using various attachments.
• Uses less heat than traditional blow dryers, making it especially ideal for delicate and fine hair.
• Comes with a storage/travel case.

Cons

• Expensive.

Anything Else You Should Know?

While Dyson has updated the Dyson Airwrap attachments, the styler body is the same as before. So if you have the original Airwrap, there’s no need to buy the entire kit again. You can just get the new attachments since they are compatible with the older dryer and styler.

Conclusion

Is the Dyson Airwrap worth the high price tag? From the reviews, most users say it definitely is. It is a huge upgrade from a regular hair dryer.

Yeah, it’s expensive but it also saves you a whole lot of time and hassle in the morning. It leaves your hair looking fuller and smoother, while protecting it from extreme heat.

Whether you have fine, thick, frizzy, dry or whatever type of long hair, the Dyson Airwrap is a great buy. The re-engineered attachments make it an even better choice for managing long hair.
