To ask you to tell me what you think about the Dyson air wrap?

I have bra strap length hair ( although thinking about getting it cut to more shoulder length) and keeping looking Airwraps. Obviously they are expensive so want to not regret such a big purchase. Are they good and easy to use? What do you do with your hair that you couldn’t before?

100% worth it. My hair is a similar length to yours and it is so fast drying it now.

@TheKeatingFive do you use it for anything other than drying?

I wanted to love it. I have below shoulder quite thick, straight hair. My friend used her one on me. It was used on freshly washed hair (which I don’t know if this was the right thing to do) but the bouncy blow dry curls looked great for 10 mins but had completely dropped out after half an hour. 😭

I don't have one but a colleague does. Her hair is naturally wild curly (which I love but she does not). When she's used the Dyson it's incredibly sleek and shiny. They definitely work, if you can afford it.

Thanks. Yes worried about styling not holding. Usually my hair does hold if I use other products such as wands or straighteners so was hoping this would be the same.

Didn't love it, I sold it after a few months,
I found it made my hair look frizzy and didn't hold the curl. I did like the smoothing brush attachment but for the cost, it wasn't worth it.
I went on to buy the airstrait which I use all the time.

Not really. I don't do curls with it or anything - no real desire to.

I also wanted to love it but didn't work for me. I think because I have frizzy hair.
Friends with straight smooth hair seem to have better results than me.

I sold mine. I really wanted to love it and tried lots of different things before passing it on.

I have a lot of hair but it’s fine and doesn’t hold volume easily at the root. Curling, blow drying etc took a long time because of the amount of hair but didn’t hold for long. Not for any longer than I could do with a regular hair dryer, GHD and some pins.

The Dyson air straight looks so sleek, I know I don’t need it but am tempted….

If you want it for drying, maybe get the Dyson hairdryer instead? I bought mine 5 years ago and it's still going strong, DD and I love it!

I have the hairdryer too (long story) and literally never use it because the wrap is so much quicker/easier 🤷‍♀️

I got one for my daughter to congratulate her for amazing GCSE results and she loves it. I have had a brief go of it, dried my hair with it, but I tend to straighten mine daily. We got the long barrel one as her hair goes down to her waist.

AhBiscuits · 02/12/2024 06:18

DH got me one for Christmas last year. So far I've only used the drying function, which is fab. I'm determined to actually use it before the Christmas party.

Princessconsuelabananahammock9 · 02/12/2024 06:22

I have a cheaper version off Amazon and I love it!

I only use it to curl and my hair looks bouncy and healthy.

autumn1610 · 02/12/2024 06:29

I’ve not but my friend borrowed someone’s to do her hair for a wedding and the photo she showed me it was gorgeous, by the time she drove to the wedding it was flat. She curls her hair a lot and I’ve never really seen it drop

LadyHester · 02/12/2024 06:32

Agree with others - great for drying and smoothing, disappointing hold.

Amba1998 · 02/12/2024 06:34

The hair dryer and the hot brush etc for bouncy blow drys are great, the wrap is crap

PinkTonic · 02/12/2024 06:40

I love mine and I don’t find the hold disappointing at all. If I curl mine with the wrap it is still wearable the following day, whereas if I use the straightener to curl it hardly holds for a couple of hours. My hair isn’t very long though.

jeaux90 · 02/12/2024 06:50

I love mine had it for four years and it's amazing if you have curly hair you like to keep straight. My DD15 and I both have really thick curly hair.

The curling barrels are great but we mainly use the straightening stiff head brush.

UpToonGirl · 02/12/2024 07:06

Had mine a few years and I couldn't recommend it. The curls don't last at all in my hair. I used the drying brush a bit, it's good and I don't feel it frys my hair but it doesn't make it super smooth. I do like the round brush for my fringey bits but obviously it's not worth the price tag for that.

Vax · 02/12/2024 07:24

It makes my hair really frizzy.

Hellyeahbaby · 02/12/2024 07:28

I love mine, I have just past shoulder length hair, very thick and frizzy.
I half dry, then straighten brush and then curl my ends.
Couldn't be without it

Leafyleaferson · 02/12/2024 07:47

I have the Shark version which also doesn't hold the curl. I was tempted by the Dyson version but after reading the comments here I'll stick with the Shark for blow drying and accept that the curls will never hold!
