Dyson air wrap - am I missing the point?

[incognitopurple]

I just can’t make it work. I would love to be able to get the hang of it but my hair does not hold the curls

It is straight and fine usually, so I wonder if this doesn’t help. Or maybe the fact it’s been bleached.

Does anyone have any tips?

I returned mine! Liked the hot roller so bought one for £35 and use that instead

Sell it is my best tip. Nothing makes the curl hold. It's not hot enough.

Awful! Not worth the money.

I just use a normal hair curler and put rollers in!

Are you using any product?

Are you using the cold air shot to finish each curl?

I can make lovely curls. They hold for about 2 minutes.

I use a moose in my hair when wet and curls last till next wash. I think it's down to hair type though. So many are disappointed

I sold mine! I don't understand how it has so many good reviews??

I love mine. It can v loose curls which I like but I mostly use the straight brush attachment.

I loved my Air Wrap but I had to use the cool shot for ages and a concoction of hair products to get the curls to stay in, and they only ever lasted most of a day at that.

I sold it in the end because it just took far too long. Bought an automatic curler from Amazon for £30 and love it!

Mine works amazing but I have a natural kink / curl to my hair. I found having my hair slightly damp works the best with a bit of curling moose / product. It will last 3/4 days till I was it.

I have straight fine hair. I love it. I use it to give my hair volume which lasts for ages, like I've got really thick hair..

I don't think they market it correctly. Most people can't seem to get the curls to stay in but it's fab for creating bounce and volume.

Although annoyingly it doesn't work In the US and im going to Florida soon 😬 I'll just have to have sad flat hair 🙄

Works on my hair which is extremely thick and wavy. I wash and curl it once a week and it holds all week.

Does the moose not object?

I'm sorry, I know it's a cheap shot. But I now have a vivid mental image...

It depends on your hair type, I tried so many products and techniques but the curls don't last in my hair. To be fair I can't hold a curl with tongs either, not even the hairdresser can make them last. I've kept mine though as I like the flat brush attachment.

You would think my hair would hold a curl as its naturally very wavy but only on its own terms!

I ended up tying my hair up so much because of the heat and humidity in Florida, I had all these lovely plans of my hair down but I was too hot and sweaty when not in air conditioned buildings or on air conditioned transport. So you may not miss it as much as you think. Enjoy Florida.

@incognitopurple you need to put product in your hair to style it. For me I use a texturing spray to make my hair more "sticky" and thicker which adds lots of volume and I use a styling spray to which activates on heat. Your hair has to be almost dry for it to dry the curl on the barrel, always cool shot it. I think the best tutorial for it is Fleur's and like me she doesn't section her hair although she has far more hair than me. My hair is bra strap length. I spray it with hairspray when off the barrel before moving onto the next piece of hair to curl otherwise I can see it dropping slightly.

Agree with the marketing incorrectly comment. I love mine for a blow dry (much prefer it to Revlon or Babyliss), but the curls are way too much faff.

I love mine! I have fairly thin hair but a bit of it with a natural wave when dried on its own.

The airwrap is a blow dry tool so it won't give you the same staying power / look as a curling iron - it's not meant to. It gives great bounce / volume and lovely curls / waves when used with the right products in the right way. Are you local to a Dyson store? I booked an appointment for a blow dry and they taught me so many tips and tricks and it revolutionised the way I used it - I can now get a bouncy blow dry at home which was my aim!

Agreed with those saying it's not marketed right.

I loooove mine for volume and looking 'done', but it's not a curler.

It makes me look like I've had a really good blowdry and if I do it properly on a Sunday (from damp, with product, in sections - takes about 40 min but I have a lot of hair) and refresh a tiny bit (literally 1-2 minutes adding a few waves in on each side) each morning it looks good and like I've made an effort for 3-4 days.
