It’s a hair styling instrument that comes with a wide range of styling attachments that curl, easy, wave, or volumize hair. It permits you to dry and elegance your hair with out damaging it with excessive warmth.
When and why I began utilizing it
I began utilizing it early in 2020. I had reached some extent the place I wished to return my hair to its shiny, bouncy pre-kids days. Earlier than I purchased the Dyson, I by no means actually obtained the dangle of giving myself a blowout and principally walked round with curly hair on the again of my head for many years. Out of sight, out of thoughts?
I knew I wished some form of all-in-one instrument that allowed me to easy out my hair whereas it was damp. I had watched evaluations of the Revlon styler (which is a a lot cheaper price level and is one thing many of us swear by) and had used a product much like it in my twenties however, in my expertise, it precipitated tons of breakage and I ended utilizing it after some time.
I additionally wished to discover a method to prolong the size of my blowouts. I observed after I had my hair professionally styled, it regarded good for FOUR days. I knew if I may discover a method to replicate that form of styling at residence, I might save a number of time and power.
How I take advantage of it
I’ve my routine all the way down to a science! Listed here are the most typical steps I comply with for an on a regular basis blowout (you can too watch them within the video under!).
Step One: Add merchandise
After washing my hair, I’ll brush it out and add merchandise to guard my hair from warmth. These days, I’ve been utilizing the Olaplex No. 6 Reparative Styling Creme and the Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil.
Step Two: Fashion Bangs
I all the time begin the styling course of with my bangs. They should be actually moist to be able to tame them correctly in order that they keep manageable for a number of days.
I brush them ahead with a brush, then utilizing the pre-styling dryer to form my bangs. I take advantage of a brush to drag them to 1 aspect of my head and apply some warmth, then I repeat this step to the opposite aspect. Then I place my brush underneath them and apply extra warmth. If they give the impression of being a bit flat, I take advantage of a spherical brush attachment to provide them some form. Then I half them down the center and let my hair air dry for a bit.
Step Three: Fashion Hair in Sections
As a result of I’ve such thick hair, I type the underside part first. It’s the place my hair is most curly and, for me, it’s crucial step in getting an expert look.
I place the spherical brush on the base of a 3” extensive part of hair for a number of seconds. Then I wrap my hair across the brush and let it dry for ten seconds. Then, holding the highest a part of my hair, I unwrap the hair from the comb—this helps me from pulling hair by means of and shedding quantity. I’ll repeat this course of on my total head of hair.
The cussed hairs within the again want some pulling to assist launch the curl, so I run the comb by means of these sections totally a number of occasions proper earlier than my hair is sort of completely dry.
Step 4: Add Ending Product(s)
I run a bit styling product by means of the ends so as to add some texture and a few dry shampoo on my bangs to absorb any oil that may begin to accumulate in the course of the day. It helps the blowout last more!

How has the Dyson Airwrap held up over time?
The Airwrap itself seems like new. I’ve cleaned the brushes a handful of occasions, together with the filter. I’ve discovered that the product is actually low upkeep and nothing has damaged, come free, or been misplaced. It’s the high quality you’d anticipate from a Dyson product, and the one acceptable consequence (IMO) from shelling out the massive bucks for a styling instrument. The straightener I purchased the identical month because the Dyson has slowly been dying since June and doesn’t warmth up as quick or maintain excessive warmth anymore. It’s good to see that distinction once I take into consideration the funding I made.
I’ve to say that I don’t use each single one of many attachments and haven’t discovered a lot use for the curling barrels. I attempted to determine the best way to use them, however as somebody who beforehand couldn’t maintain a brush AND blow dry my hair on the identical time, perhaps I’m simply not the appropriate individual for such a instrument. That’s my largest disappointment. Additionally, the leather-based carrying case feels a bit a lot though it’s BEAUTIFUL and nicely made. I identical to to toss my instruments in baskets and name it a day, and my present case is amassing mud underneath my sink. Perhaps I’ll use it when my mornings really feel much less rushed … maybe fifteen years from now when my children go off to school.
Do you have to purchase the Dyson Airwrap?
This product is unquestionably an funding, in order that’s one thing to contemplate earlier than buying. When you have hair that has been troublesome to type prior to now, want to replicate an expert blowout at residence, or have severely broken hair and need to swap to a styling product that will likely be gentler on it, this product is unquestionably for you. If you’re low upkeep and don’t prefer to spend time doing blowouts, I’d say skip it and use a more cost effective possibility till you understand will probably be in routine use.
