Dyson Airwrap Styler Smooth + Control (Nickel/Fuchsia)

Product Information

D., to test out the new Dyson Airwrap both at home and in the GH Beauty Lab — and what we found might surprise you. We also appreciated that the cord is 8 feet long, which is a plus if there’s some distance between your mirror and the nearest outlet.

This effect “attracts, wraps, and curls the hair around the barrel”, which means you need only hold your hair close to the styler for the hot air to whip it around the barrel and create a curl. Having access to a set that comes with long attachments is hugely convenient, and since my hair is down to my elbows, the extra real estate on the barrel really did make styling faster and easier.

If you already have damaged hair or want to save time on styling your hair, then the Dyson Airwrap is the perfect tool for you.

Even though we were impressed with the results, we felt that the AirWrap is better suited to longer hairstyles, particularly when it comes to the curling barrels – if you have hair shorter than shoulder-length, you may find it difficult to encourage your hair to wrap around the barrels. What once looked like a hollow oval reminiscent of Dyson's signature fan design is now replaced by a cylindrical dryer head that functions both as a blow drying "pre-styler" meant to take hair from wet to damp and a smoothing attachment meant to tuck away flyaways and instantly smooth hair. If you’re someone who styles their hair regularly — whether that’s blowing out, straightening or curling your hair, or a healthy dose of all three — you’ll be impressed too. Each of the barrel-shaped attachments features a ‘cool tip’ at the top to prevent you burning your fingers when switching. The hair wraps around the barrel, and you can move said barrel towards your head to encourage the whole strand to curl.What was even more shocking for me was that, as a rather frugal consumer, I decided that the Airwrap was worth the coin. Finally, the set includes a “pre-styling” dryer attachment for general drying, which we felt was very similar to the quality and function of the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer.
