Haircare in the Community: The Dyson Airwrap™

When it comes to hair styling, few things are more important than the balance between efficiency and sustainability. Achieving sleek hair without using extreme heat in the process can feel like a Promethean task – but the new Dyson Airwrap™ changes all of that.

In 2016, their Dyson Supersonic™ hairdryer made Dyson a major player in beauty technology. Now, the Dyson Airwrap™ styler is set to make even bigger waves in the hair styling scene. The Dyson team has spent years testing and researching different hair types and styling habits worldwide. They identified two main desires in styling techniques: the desire to have full-bodied hair and to achieve smoothness without losing volume. The Dyson Airwrap™ styler is the result. Combining years of research and development with a focus on design, the best part about the Dyson Airwrap™ styler is that it allows for high quality styling without the need for extreme heat. For people concerned about extreme heat damage, this comes as a particularly welcome addition.

The tendency for hair to become limp and dead without maintenance and then too dry from over-heating is perhaps the biggest Catch 22 in the world of hair care. The Dyson Airwrap™ styler has been designed to eliminate this conundrum by incorporating what they have dubbed Intelligent Heat Control into their system. A small internal thermometer measures the device’s temperature (40 times a second) and regulates accordingly.

Another distinctive feature of the Airwrap is that it utilises the “Coanda effect”. The motor creates an area of high pressure at the top of the styling barrel, forcing a high velocity jet of air around the barrel. This attracts, wraps, and curls the hair around the barrel, styling effortlessly.

The variety of attachments that come with the Airwrap mean that with one device you can create a variety of styles – from subtle waves and luscious curls to straight blow-dries, perfect for those of us who don’t have the budget (or space) for multiple hair styling tools.

The soft, smoothing brush is my personal favourite and great for everyday use. It transforms hair from lifeless to voluminous, while retaining a silky blow-dry finish. Another huge bonus of the Airwrap is that it eliminates the need to pre-dry hair before styling as the product is designed to dry and style simultaneously, saving both time on my morning routine and (much needed) energy as well!

It is so hard to achieve a salon-quality blow dry purely by using at-home tools, but the Dyson Airwrap™ styler has been designed specifically with this in mind. The airflow operates under a switching mechanism so that no matter what way you brush, the air flows in that direction. The result? A salon-quality blow-dry. Brilliant.

The Dyson Airwrap™ styler comes in three different variants with specific attachments designed for different hair types. The Volume + Shape to add body and volume to limp, flat hair, the Smooth + Control to control and smooth unruly, frizz prone hair and the Complete for houses with multiple hairtypes using the styler.
