Dyson airwrap, shark flex style or babylis style secret air for thick lob cut?

I've got thick hair which doesn't hold a wave or curl very easily. Any recommendations for which of these would be better? Or is there something else I've missed?

I have had both the Dyson and the shark air wrap. Hate to say it because it’s so much more expensive but I much prefer the Dyson. Just to say thought neither hold very well, you’ll need to use products to and hold it. I used my air wrap every day it started out curly and by afternoon I just looked like I’d had a good blow dry. I was happy with it but don’t expect amazing results.

Are you looking for an actual curl or just day-to-day management?

I have the babyliss curl secret for curls, and babyliss air styler for everyday tidiness

I'd like to get it to wave more than curl I guess. And to look a bit more put together and "finished" .

Dyson 100%

I had one for years and it broke (I do still have it and can get it sent off to fix and then sell if I decide to), got the Shark one because it was cheaper and it was awful so I sent it back for a refund and then got one of the newest Dysons - yes they are more expensive but they are so worth it! I use mine everyday.

I use the tymo curl Pro on my lob and then gently brush out to create a wave. It's really easy and fast.
