The result: direction change barrels for faster and easier curling, reengineered brush attachments for more precise shaping, and an entirely new, dual-purpose Coanda smoothing dryer. Our ability to control airflow delivers enhanced Coanda performance to curl, shape and hide flyaways –without extreme heat." Refurbished Dyson machines are built to last. However, if you experience any problems, or have any questions, Dyson Experts provide the same level of support as if it was a brand new machine.

That said, the tool isn't without flaws. Aside from the sky-high price point, there's a substantial learning curve when it comes to adapting to the innovative technology at first — it took me a matter of months, not days, to really figure it out. And not every attachment is a fit for everyone: I really only ever use the smoothing attachment, the curling barrels, the round brush and the firm smoothing brush. You'll also have to consider your hair type and what you're trying to achieve: While my hair happens to hold a curl well, the Airwrap might not be right for you if your hair struggles to hold a style as the gentle heat may not be strong enough to set a style (although that can be improved by using styling products like a mousse or using the curling attachments on damp hair). Lastly, if you don't plan on styling your hair with the device regularly, it may not wind up being worth the cost. Heat styling can often leave your hair feeling frizzy and dry, and can even lead to breakage if you use heat regularly, particularly if you have fine hair or tightly coiled Type 4 hair. 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. 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. 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. 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:

The Dyson Airwrap Complete styler is engineered for multiple hair types and styles and includes six attachments to achieve curls, waves, and smooth, shiny hair. The different attachments include a 1.2-inch and 1.6-inch Airwrap barrel, a firm, smoothing and round volumizing brush, and a pre-styling dryer. The Airwrap barrels allow you to create different size curls and waves, and the three different brushes are engineered to help flat, fine, and frizz-prone hair. Engineering lean machines is a core principle at Dyson: developing long lasting, high performing and efficient products using fewer resources, empowering the next generation of engineers to design a more sustainable future through science and technology. This can be seen throughout the Dyson Airwrapᵀᴹ multi-styler, from the very motor that powers the tool through to the increased efficiency, enhanced performance, ultimately resulting in reduced energy consumption. 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 . The Coanda effect seems to be limited to the AirWrap barrels themselves, so you will need to manually wrap your hair around the volumizing brush to achieve a soft wave.You need to lift up a section of hair (about one inch wide is a good rule of thumb) and hold the AirWrap curling barrel about four inches away from the end of the strand. All Dyson cordless vacuums, purifiers, humidifiers, heaters, fans, and hair dryers are covered by our 2-years parts and labor warranty. All Dyson upright and canister vacuums are covered by our 5-years parts and labor warranty. But we'll still be here when yours runs out; we provide Dyson technology owners with a lifetime of support. The award-winning Dyson Airwrap is available in three different sets, one for frizz-prone hair, one for fine hair, and the Airwrap complete, which includes the attachments for both kits. Each Airwrap styler also comes with a mini Dyson Supersonic dryer so that you can achieve a salon-like blowout with just one device. One of the first things we noticed about the AirWrap was how light it is; if you regularly use hair dryers you’ll probably be well acquainted with the arm ache that occurs even after using them for short periods of time. Was it pin-straight? Absolutely not, but Dyson never claimed that can achieve a straightened look with the AirWrap.

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.

Our technology is built to last. But if something goes wrong, we'll arrange to collect your machine from you free of charge. Dyson machines are engineered for continual high performance in normal domestic settings. If a Dyson machine is used in the way it's intended and it breaks down within the guarantee period, it's our responsibility to repair or replace it. 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! Most styling tools ignore that hair types are very different – what attachment may work for one, could be detrimental to another. The advancements in the Dyson Airwrap multi-styler build on the success of its predecessor, through relentless research, user trials and advancements in computational fluid dynamics.
