Dyson air wrap

[Shehasadiamondinthesky]

I need one for my unruly damaged hair. Are they any good? I have a big birthday coming up so thinking of asking for one.

I do rate mine, I should in fact use it more often. I mainly use the curling barrels and the brush to dry it more straight, but still use product to reduce frizz and keep it in place.

It's really hard to say - completely depends on what your hair is like. I have fine blonde hair (but a lot of it) which is dead straight and it did nothing for me. A bit of volume initially but flat and limp by mid morning.

If your hair is coarser or has a natural kink or curl I can imagine it would be fab

I had one, the volume was amazing and the curls looked lovely but my hair is blonde and fine like that PP and it just wouldn’t stay in no matter what I tried so I sent it back. I have since had hair extensions so my hair is a lot longer and thicker and I’m tempted try it again to see if it’s any better this time

I have blond coarse and thick hair with a slight wave, it isn't fine hair so I think it may be ok then.

Do you want waves/curls or smooth OP?

I have thick hair with a bit of a wave and I love my air wrap!! dries quickly at low heat so less damage to my highlighted hair, the smoothing brushes give me the sort of finish I would usually have to blow dry and straighten to achieve, and the curls are great (you need to get the hang of it watch some you tube videos and your hair needs to be dryer than you think!) I use it every time I blow dry and my hair is in such good condition now. I got a bargain one not sure I would have paid full price but look at the Dyson refurbished ones if you want to lower the initial outlay

I have wild, frizzy, curly hair. I can go from just out of the shower to straight or nice curls in about half hour. I don't know what I would do without it!

OP my hair is exactly the same and it works really well as long as you use a good curl mousse. Use from damp as curls don't hold very well on dry hair.
I recommend the smoothing brush which can be used from wet pretty much.

One thing I would say though is I get more flyway's on the top of my head since I've been using it.
Got mine refurbished from the Dyson website

I've got lots of wavy hair and it doesn't hold very well for me - I haven't tried loads of products so it may be I just haven't found the right companion for it. I do think the hairdryer and the straightening brush are good...not £400+ good but I do feel it's less damaging than other hot tools.

I find the 20mm longer barrels are better I had the normal sized and the curl would t hold. So 20mm and L'Oréal blow dry cream works best for me. Look at dyson air wrap styling tips for tips.

I have one and after a lot of practice, I would say I'm happy with it overall. I don't think it's worth the money though. £300 max I think.

If you're just using it to curl and you want the curls to last longer than 20 minutes I'd give it a swerve. I found I had about a 5 minute window of actually liking the curls. First 10 minutes I look like Oliver Cromwell, which believe it or not, wasn't the look I was going for . Then they settle down and look really lovely, but then just disappear to pretty much nothing, unless you load your hair with full strength hair spray. Needless to say, I don't really use the curling barrel attachments.

I only really use the blow out barrel, which does give volume, smooths and gives some movement at the ends. Don't bother with medium heat though. You have to wack it on high heat to have any smoothing effect and it IS hot, so would still use a lot of heat protectant.

Mine was a total waste of money. It's an adequate hairdryer but the curls drop in an hour.

It's a No from me. I love the Dyson hairdryer but was very disappointed with the Airwrap. It wrecked my hair for a while.

I tried one in John lewis pre lockdown. I didn't see it offered anything better than my Dyson drier and GHD platinum straightners.

I'm just looking to straighten my hair really.

You need a Revlon One Step not a Dyson

Revlon Salon One- Step Volumizer for mid to long hair (2-in-1 styling tool, dryer and styler, IONIC TECHNOLOGY, Ceramic tourmaline coating), RVDR5222 www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072VH43KL/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_YHBGJRRDKF766N1SGQX8?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

Absolute game changer. Dry your hair with hair drier first, go over it with the One Step in sections. Lots of videos on you tube if you want to take a look.

Love the Dyson hairdryer. Tried my friend's Air Wrap it wasn't worth it for me as I want to straighten my hair. Revlon One step left me with damaged hair. Love the L'Oréal steampod. Less damage than regular ceramic straighteners.
