Wide-tooth comb: Designed specifically for curls and coils, the soft-tipped comb shapes, volumizes and stretches hair as it dries. As we mentioned earlier, it does take a little practice to get the technique right, and Dyson has some helpful demo videos on its YouTube channel if you need some guidance.

Ultimately, the Dyson Airwrap can help you achieve a glamorous look without much fuss or effort. While some heat is present as you dry your hair, it’s nowhere as much as using ceramic hair tools, so it’s a better method for styling in terms of hair-health. The technique definitely takes some getting used to and you will need to learn how to get the best results. However, the final look is natural and holds fairly well. Curling barrels: The surface temperature of the new 1.2" barrel measured about about 40ºF lower than the old Airwrap/1.2" curler combo. In our home tests, this didn't seem to affect our hair, nor did I find it noticeable while using the device, and the style lasted as long as it did when I used the old Airwrap. And with even less heat damage — a win!

While the blow dryer and brush attachments are pretty self explanatory, the AirWrap barrels use an interesting natural phenomenon called the ‘Coanda’ effect to curl your hair. A few days later, we tried out the AirWrap barrels, with the aim of creating bouncy curls, and we found the process far easier than using the brushes – mainly due to the fact that all the work is done for you by the Coanda effect. Using traditional curling tongs can be time-consuming and damaging to your hair, but the Dyson AirWrap makes curling your hair a breeze (literally), and left the hair looking far healthier than when we has used extremely hot ceramic stylers in the past.

When it comes to the new engineering on the upgraded Airwrap, some changes you can see, some you can't. Here's what's new: 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. While I would say the Dyson Airwrap is quieter than a standard hairdryer, it is quite high-pitched, almost like a dentist’s drill. So it’s still likely to wake the house up first thing in the morning. If you’re using it in curling mode and repeatedly switching it on and off, it can also get a bit annoying for others.Then there's the Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler Complete Curly/Coily, designed specifically for styling curly or coily hair. (I opted out of this one since, although my hair is curly, I don't heat style it when I let it go natural). That one comes with: In preliminary Beauty Lab tests, Aral carried out temperature measurements using three different attachments with each the old and new devices. The results showed some slight performance differences. Here's what she found:

Using a lower heat to style your hair also has the added benefit of preserving your hair’s color if it’s dyed, meaning you don’t need to dye it as often to maintain a rich, vibrant hue. I've used my Airwrap religiously since it launched and not only has it virtually eliminated my need for salon blowouts, but I like knowing that my hair isn't getting absolutely fried as it may with traditional heat styling — one analysis by our Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab product testing pros showed that the original Airwrap with the round brush attachment reached around 158ºF at its highest temperature and airflow, which is far cooler and therefore less damaging than a flat iron or curling iron that can reach temperatures of over 350ºF . One of the biggest perks of the Dyson Airwrap is that it can be used to help dry and style hair. While you shouldn't use the styler on entirely wet hair, you can rough dry your hair and style it damp so curls last longer. Is the Dyson Airwrap worth it? While Dyson is mostly known for its vacuums, the company has recently delved into the world of hair care. Dyson first released the Dyson Supersonic, which is one of the best hair dryers we've tested, and two years later, the Dyson Airwrap Styler was introduced.Improved firm and soft smoothing brushes: The upgrade also includes paddle brushes that have more movement and noticeably stronger suction in what the brand calls "enhanced Coanda airflow [which] attracts and aligns hair with increased control for a straighter style."

And that’s just the question we sought out to answer when three of our editors — all with different hair types and textures — tested out the multifunctional styler for ourselves. We held the curl until the hair was dry, and then pushed the temperature switch up to deliver a ‘cold shot’ to the hair – this helps to set the style and can make the curl look shinier. The Dyson Airwrap Styler Volume+Shape is designed to add volume and shape to fine, flat hair. The Airwrap Styler features four different attachments, which include a 1.2-inch Airwrap barrel, a soft smoothing, and a round volumizing brush. The Airwrap barrel produces voluminous curls or waves, and the soft smoothing and round volumizing brush let you achieve a sleek, straight style or round, bouncy curls. Soft smoothing brush: As the name suggests, the soft paddle brush is designed to give even less tension than the firm brush. I found the original version of the attachment usable albeit less effective. However, the new version with improved Coanda just doesn't have the oomph I need to get my strands sleek and smooth. The resulting blowout looked a bit frayed and frizzy. I won't reach for this one again.

The Coanda effect causes high speed air to follow the contours of a surface in a similar manner to a liquid - a feature also used to high effect in motor racing. The Dyson Airwrap is powered by the digital motor V9, which produces air pressure to create an aerodynamic phenomenon called the Coanda effect to attract and wrap hair around the barrel for you. Because the Dyson Airwrap doesn't have to rely on heat alone, the styler avoids extreme temperatures to produce voluminous, effortless curls. Can you use the Dyson Airwrap on wet hair?
