Our honest Dyson Airwrap reviews according to three editors with different hair types, who all agree it's worth the hype. Plus, it's on sale for Prime Day.
I'll cut to the chase. If you've come here to read my Dyson Airwrap Complete review than you've probably heard the the hype and you're wondering whether it's worth the exorbitant price tag. I think it is but if you're on the fence, know that it's seriously discounted for Amazon Prime Day .
The bundle is 20% off making it one of the best Prime Day beauty deals I've seen. I've owned the Airwrap for over a year and have already given away my blow dryer, flat iron, and curling iron. A little about me: I have coarse, wavy dry hair. Figuring out how to style it has always been a chore, resulting in a frizzy mess. I'd seen the Dyson on TikTok and heard about it from other shopping editors, but hadn't tried it for myself until last summer. What is the Dyson Airwrap? The original Dyson Airwrap was designed specifically to dry and style long hair, but its more recent version was updated to suit us curly hair and coily-haired people. The multistyler comes with six attachments, which are crucial in transforming it into multiple tools. There's a 1.2-inch barrel, 1.6-inch long barrel, firm smoothing brush, soft smoothing brush, round volumizing brush, and a pre-styling dryer. How I use the Dyson Airwrap First, I make sure that my hair is either damp and clean from the shower , or I spray it with water to dampen it. I run some heat protectant cream through it before using its pre-styling dryer to rough-dry and smooth it further. This all takes maybe a couple of minutes in my medium-length hair. I then move in with one of the two curling barrels . The 1.2-inch barrel can create tighter, bouncier curls, while the 1.6-inch barrel's curls are, for me, looser and tend to relax into waves pretty quickly . What makes the AirWrap different is that it heats with warm air . It's a far gentler way to style your hair—a huge plus with damaged hair like mine. These curling barrels both do a very cool thing. Instead of having to manually wrap my hair around the barrel, I just hold out a two-inch section of damp hair in one hand, and hover the barrel near the ends with the other. The barrel's airflow sucks in the hair and then automatically wraps it around, all on its own. I can change the direction of the airflow with a twist of a dial on top, depending on which way I want my hair to curl. I hold it in place for maybe five seconds, then push a button on the base of the Airwrap to activate the “cool shot” . I repeat this action in sections all over my head, then set it with spray before loosening the curls a little with my fingers. This entire dry-to-style process takes around 20 minutes—at least half the time of my typical blow dryer/curling wand combo, with at least half the amount of heat damage. If I want a sleek, straight blowout that doesn't have frizz, I swap in the firm smoothing brush and press it against sections of my damp hair. For a more voluminous style, I use the round bristle attachment to roll sections of my hair into curls then twist out . If I want to expedite drying my natural curls, I scrunch with styling cream then use the Airwrap's handy curl diffuser attachment . There's definitely a steep learning curve. The Dyson Airwrap took me some adjusting to how to use, and I didn't find Dyson's instructions or site instructions particularly illuminating. I spent a lot of time on TikTok watching tutorials, especially of how to figure out which way to set the airflow on the curl barrels; how the hell to use the round bristle brush without ripping out my hair ; and how to make my curls last . I was impressed by the amount of attachments the product included, and I'll likely never pay for a blowout again, but it definitely took work getting a handle on the Airwrap—and I'm not at all a total pro yet. Overall Review The Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler Complete retails for $600 . Right now, this bundle is on Prime Day sale for $550. The price is steeper in comparison to other devices in the Dyson lineup—the Supersonic Hair Dryer rings in at $430, and the Corrale straightener clocks in at $500. Because of Dyson’s advanced, proprietary technology, it’s no surprise that its styling tools are a lot more expensive than traditional hair-dryer brushes like the Revlon One-Step or the Glamour editor-favorite dryer/styler Shark FlexStyle Air . It has more versatility than its competitors and dries and styles more quickly without frizz. When I factor in everything I'm getting , the cost is well worth it to me. Below, see how the Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler Complete worked on two other different hair textures, with honest reviews of the device from Glamour contributors. Ariana Yaptangco, Glamour senior beauty editor Hair type: Straight Not to be dramatic, but my life changed when I tried the first-generation Dyson Airwrap. At the time I had just gotten curtain bangs, and the interchangeable attachments made it so easy to switch according to my styling needs, delivering salon-level smoothness and blowouts in less than half the time. I wasn’t alone with my obsession—you’ve probably seen the viral TikTok videos and marveled at its eye-popping price tag. But the styler is completely worth it, and the latest model only drives the point home. I’m particularly a big fan of the curling barrels, which have been designed for longer hair. My hair comfortably fits on the barrel, creating equal heat distribution across all sections. It also features an air-flow switch that allows me to conveniently change air directions instead of switching out the barrels. For everyday styling, I use the Coanda Smoothing Dryer to rough-dry my hair. It comes with a flyaway smoother. I use the round brush to style my curtain bangs and create some sweeping volume. To get a glossy finish for the rest of my strands, I use the smoothing brush to completely dry my hair. What I’m left with is a straight—but not limp—head of hair, full of body and volume. I didn’t think it was possible, but—with a whopping 13 styling attachment options and game-changing new features—this updated Airwrap has plenty more to offer than the already-great original. Andrea Navarro, Glamour contributor Hair type: Thick 3C curls It can take me as long as two hours to dry and straighten my dense, natural hair. But with the Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler Complete, that time was cut by 30 minutes. To dry my hair, I use a wide-tooth comb specifically designed to dry my hair type without tugging at each spiral. Once my hair is only slightly damp at the roots, I move on to using the Airwrap's firm smoothing brush attachment to straighten the rest. I also target leftover bumps near my roots with the round volumizing brush, the same way I would use a round brush if I were giving myself a regular blowout. To top things off, I use the 1.6-inch Airwrap barrel to get the full effect from the device and give my hair those big, bouncy curls that Dyson users love so much. With some hairspray and a little bit of hair oil for shine, this look lasts me for a full night out and gets me a ton of compliments. It’s a resounding yes from me.
