Dyson - Airwrap Multi Styler Complete Long - VINCA blue/rose

This is worth the wait! Every time I put this in my cart it sold out before I could checkout. Normally I would have taken that as a sign that I didn’t need it but in the case I kept going back and dropped serious coin to get it. This is not a hyped up product and it really works. I will tell anyone who purchase it that there is a learning curve, especially if your hair doesn’t hold heat shaping well. My secret sauce to long lasting (3+ days) curls is this: 1. Used a detangler with heat protection right out of the shower. 2. Use the new attachment to blow dry your roots (low air flow/Medium heat) 3.

Once your hair is not super wet add medium to high hold moisturising mousse (I’m using TRESemme flawless curls with coconut and avocado oil) 4. Use brush attachment of choice to dry your hair basically completely (medium air flow/medium heat) 5. Use the smaller curling attachment taking sections based on your hair thickness, length, and volume (Ive got medium, extra long, and very dense hair and taking about 10 sections for each half of my head is perfect), (high air flow/ high heat) 10 second with heat and 15 second with the cool shot 6. Let your hair sit for at least 5 minutes once you are finished without fiddling with it and apply a light to medium hold hair spray, the longer you let your hair sit the better. Use the fly away attachment if needed with low air speed and low or no heat 7. Use your fingers or a wide to comb to incorporate your curls together. This way you still maintain distinct ringlets. If you want a more wavy look go ahead and use a brush. If you want this to last more than one day make sure you but your hair up in a bun at night and I’ve found using the olaplex hair oil is a perfect refresh of next day curls if they get frizzy.

When this thing first came out I scoffed at "needing" such a pricey item to dry and style hair ( but of course thought it looked pretty cool, grabbing the hair and placing it around the curling barrel etc) .. but after years of hype and then the new, re-engineered version being released, mixed with recent frustration from frying my hair with my Revlon One Step Volumizer brush, I caved . It's so hyped up lately that it was sold out everywhere when I finally had decided I wanted to go for it, so I kept checking store websites and recently found it in stock online at Best Buy. So excited to get it, and it is as sleek and high quality as you would expect from Dyson, as far as the design and functionality of the equipment goes. I really like the dryer part, it works ... MoreWhen this thing first came out I scoffed at "needing" such a pricey item to dry and style hair ( but of course thought it looked pretty cool, grabbing the hair and placing it around the curling barrel etc) .. but after years of hype and then the new, re-engineered version being released, mixed with recent frustration from frying my hair with my Revlon One Step Volumizer brush, I caved .

So excited to get it, and it is as sleek and high quality as you would expect from Dyson, as far as the design and functionality of the equipment goes. I really like the dryer part, it works fast, and I love making a voluminous blowout with the round brush attachment and one of the other brush attachments ( I can't remember what the name.or type of brushes tney are, I need to spend more time looking at manual, because the 2 plastic brush heads look the same to me, besides one having copper brush tips, and I think one of those is for smoothing/ straightening, and one is for more of a lift/ volume). I also really like the curling barrels! I have NEVER been good at curling my hair myself for some reason and this thing just makes it sooo easy! Just pick up a section of hair with one hand and hold the barrel with the machine turned off in the other hand , placing barrel next to the hair. When you then turn the machine on the air suction just pulls your hair and gently wraps it around the barrel in a perfect curl with no effort from you other than just holding the Dyson. Or I've also liked results with wrapping strands around to make an S curl or waves.. I really like the results. I'm just not completely happy with this yet because so far I haven't figured out how to make my curls last for a long time! I need to watch YouTube or something and see if there's a trick to it I'm missing. Hopefully I can update this review to a 5 star soon, especially with the chunk of money it cost. Other than the curls not holding well,. I'm loving this, my hair dries quickly, it's feels like I'M getting less heat in general, which is always a good thing when you're trying to avoid sweating while you' get ready during a hot Texas summer , and my hair is feeling and looking better, definitely much better than the Revelon brush ( but at 10 times the price)

A Reluctant Believer

I've waited months to write this review, and the anxiety and guilt I felt when I first purchased the Dyson Airwrap is long gone. Before taking the plunge, I had been using a cheapish hair-dryer-barrel-brush tool that gave me mediocre results, until a very scary day when it didn't sound like itself and started smoking while I was styling my damp hair. That burnt smell gave me nightmares, which then led me to consider upgrading to this Dyson. And after a bunch of "just do it don't you dare do it" conversations in my head, I rationalized that I could return it if I wasn't impressed (like no big deal, relax). For the record, I have an awesome hair stylist that will do great things to my hair, but I lack the time and patience to even attempt to try and get my hair styled ... MoreI've waited months to write this review, and the anxiety and guilt I felt when I first purchased the Dyson Airwrap is long gone.

For the record, I have an awesome hair stylist that will do great things to my hair, but I lack the time and patience to even attempt to try and get my hair styled in the ways he does after my cut/color, and we grew to understand and accept that about me for years. But with the Dyson Airwrap, I'm very close to making my hair look like I've had a salon day every time I use it, and that's because it's seriously quick and easy, and I actually enjoy our short time together. Frequently I use the soft/flex brush attachment and simply run it through my dry hair right before I leave the house or minutes before I have to be on video conference for work. And when I'm being especially fancy (like for my brother's wedding), I use the other attachments to build some body and/or waves (I have some volumizing foam for those special occasions). For reference, I've been maintaining variations of a bob all year, with the longest section being the front sides just barely grazing my shoulders. My hair is fine, but I have a lot of it, and that "effortless" look was never easy for me to achieve until now. I don't use the bigger barrel because the smaller one works best with my length and the styles I'm going for. The rounded volumizing brush wasn't my favorite attachment, but I've barely given it a chance because I'm thrilled with the results I'm already getting with the others. So if that scary day had never happened, I would've continued making eyerolls over anyone telling me this thing is worth the price tag. I still think it's too expensive, yet I can't help but love it and all the compliments I get about my hair now.

Absolute rubbish - save your 1k

I really wanted to like the air wrap - I really did. I spent ages researching and was hesitant because of the cost but finally bought one in the recent sales. I persevered for about a week and watched all of the videos. However every time I use this product, I watch in disbelief as the curls literally drop out out before my eyes. Yes my hair is wet when I start and completely dry when I finish and yes I use the cool shot. The product itself overheats continuously and shuts off, meaning you have to wait for it to cool down before using it. By then, the curls are a hot mess of birds nest. No, I’m not wrapping too much hair - I’ve had to use smaller and smaller sections and even then, it just doesn’t work.The whole experience has been terrible - from the Dyson sales ... MoreI really wanted to like the air wrap - I really did.

No, I’m not wrapping too much hair - I’ve had to use smaller and smaller sections and even then, it just doesn’t work.The whole experience has been terrible - from the Dyson sales reps in David Jones Melbourne trying to pressure sell me the short barrel model (as it was all they had in stock), even though my hair is halfway down my back and clearly needed the long barrel (you can buy the long barrel separately I was told!) . From receiving the air wrap in the mail to have the blue box damaged, and one of the brushes scratched. From trying the product time and time again, only to have my curls drop out leaving my hair horribly frizzy. To the customer service that spoke to me like I must be some sort of child that can’t wield a styling product and suggested I watch the videos – didn’t think I’d already done that? I follow the instructions to the letter, watched many influencer videos, and clearly I must be doing something wrong – but this is not the product for me. I get better results with my hairdryer and around styling brush. I will be going back to my good old hair curler and taking advantage of the 45 day return period.Just all around disappointing response from Dyson. I expect more from a company selling a 900 styling tool. I bet I get a ‘please call customer service’ response to this review. In case you missed the memo - I’ve done that already and it’s a large part of the reason this overpriced plastic hair dryer will be returned to sender for a full refund.Would I recommend this product to a friend? Nope - I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Attachments falling off

For some reason, no matter what I did, when I lock my attachments into place they would end up falling off during use. It's like it wasn't properly locking on, no matter what I did to try and make sure the locking mechanism was engaged.It also keeps having some electrical problems, turning off randomly, and sometimes won't turn on at all. I have to reset the button on the plug several times before it will respond and fuagain.The product is fine, in general. It's not top heavy, easy to use, dries well. I like that the cool shot is easy to get to use. The curling air wrap doesn't work that well with my medium length straight hair, the ends didn't want to wrap, they would just blow straight. I had to manually force the ends to wrap around the barrel, and only then ... MoreFor some reason, no matter what I did, when I lock my attachments into place they would end up falling off during use.

I had to manually force the ends to wrap around the barrel, and only then would the rest of the hair curl up and around the barrel.I do like the straightening/smoothing brush, but it's a little slippery and doesn't seem to grab the hair well so it doesn't stretch the hair at all like when you use the bristle brush, which is nice to have that tension when you're trying to straighten the hair while blow drying.In the end I figired it's cheaper for me to just buy an inexpensive both a blow dry round brush and a straightening brush to replace this, since the majority of the functions on the Dyson don't work that well.I thought this would be a game changer for my hair routine and it's just not, so the price is not worth it. I could go on a cruise for this price. Be advised that the company is taking a long time to even start the return process, so it seems like you can't just return, they have to review your request before they'll let you print a return label.

Could be better for the price

I’d been waiting to get my hands on the Dyson Airwrap for a long time (think, years - since it first launched!) but was struggling to justify the price. Luckily I got some vouchers and got lucky finding it in stock, especially the new one. I really wanted to love it especially after all the videos I watched online; but I must admit I am disappointed and definitely think it is overpriced for the functionality. A lot of people mention the steep learning curve but I would say I know how to use it effectively so my comments below are not a result of me not knowing how to use it.Pros:It is very powerful so I can dry my hair really quickly, especially with the smoothing brush.No need to change barrels when you change sides.Love the smoothing brush and the round ... MoreI’d been waiting to get my hands on the Dyson Airwrap for a long time (think, years - since it first launched!) but was struggling to justify the price.

Normally my hair holds a style extremely well and I don’t need to use much product or top up my styling daily, however with the Dyson, I find myself using it more often than I would another heat tool, which makes me wonder whether I’m actually now applying more heat to my hair?The curling barrels are not quick to use either. I know the curls are supposed to drop out and give a more blown out look rather than a curly look but this is impossible without mousse and hairspray and as a result, it takes really long to style as you have to hold each section of hair for at least a minute. I sometimes spend 30-40 minutes doing my hair only to have it all falls out and look like a mess within an hour. This has been my biggest frustration! I feel like I am wasting time rather than saving time overall, as the same style would have taken 15 mins with my curling wand or straightener.I sometimes wash my hair at night but since this tool works best on damp hair I find that I have to style it before bed, which means I wake up with messy hair as it doesn’t hold overnight and have to start again in the morning, rather than get up and go.I also think that there are too many attachments, for example, I never need to use the firm smoothing brush and the flyaway attachment does nothing for my frizz and flyaways. It would be better if you could customise your attachments to suit your hair type. The storage box is also bulky and unnecessary.I would highly recommend trying this out at the store or borrowing a friends at least a couple of times before purchasing. While I love the technology behind it, don’t be fooled by the over marketing. It’s a good tool, but definitely could be MUCH better considering how much it costs and the innovation behind it.

Definitely Recommend

I’ve had the Dyson air wrap for a year now and this is my honest full review of the product. If you're looking for a chic, luxurious hair product, this is it. The Dyson Airwrap is a well made product, which gives you the best results for any hair style you're going for. When I first used the air wrap, the air that came out of it was VERY strong. The blow drying attachment puts the air out in one place so your hair is not flying all over the place getting tangly. It allows you to blow your hair out in a natural way just like a regular blow dryer would but 10x stronger, taking less time to fully dry your hair. The next attachment that I used was the round brush. I love the way this product gives me such a natural blow out. I twist the brush at the bottom of my hair ... MoreI’ve had the Dyson air wrap for a year now and this is my honest full review of the product.

The next attachment that I used was the round brush. I love the way this product gives me such a natural blow out. I twist the brush at the bottom of my hair and it gives me the most natural look with a slight curl at the end of my hair. My mother, who has very curly hair, uses the round brush and it fully straightens her hair while getting rid of almost all of the frizz her hair has. The two brush attachments are very useful. My hair is naturally straight with a little wave to it but the brush attachments allow me to fully straighten my hair without using an iron at all. I use the blow drying attachment to blow dry my hair about 85% dry which takes me about 5 minutes total. Then I go in with the brush attachment and run it through my hair which completely straightens in within minutes and little run throughs in my hair. Between the two brush attachments, I can’t tell a huge difference on which one straightens my hair, although the one without the dots at the end of the brissels does make my hair more frizzy than the one with the dots. Now onto the Barrels! Those are what makes this THE airwrap. I’m going to be completely honest the barrels are a tad challenging to get the hang of using at first but once you learn how to use it, they give you the best volume, soft, natural curls. What I love about the barrels are that you can control how you want your hair to look. If you want a more tighter curl than you use the smaller barrels and wrap your hair around the barrel yourself. If you want a more loose voluminous curl, then use the larger barrels and let the air, wrap your hair around them itself. I also love how they give you two different directions. Personally I hate having my hair in my face and having two different directions allows me to turn my curls away from my face on both sides. I can say on the newer dyson, I love having just one barrel and not having to burn your fingers trying to switch attachments between the two barrel directions. Overall I love this product and I would recommend anyone with any hair type to get this product. I have had it for over a year and It still acts and looks just like I got it a year ago. If your thinking about getting it, the answer is YES! The price is high, but once you get it you will understand the price and the quality of this product.

Meh

I bought the 2022 updated AirWrap Complete with the shorter barrels (directly from Dyson). I have a medium length bob/A-line hairstyle, and I typically do not curl my hair; I use a large round brush and dryer for blowouts. Above all, I value shine, health and bounce/movement in my hair and style. I was very excited about this product based upon the description and reviews (hoping for time saving and less heat on my hair and on me in general), but I was pretty disappointed. The smoothing brushes and the "volumizing" brush (with a barrel that was not as large as I would like and had bristles that did not seem to want to flow smoothly through the hair) left my hair flat (no movement whatsoever), without any "body" let alone shine or gloss, and surprisingly actually ... MoreI bought the 2022 updated AirWrap Complete with the shorter barrels (directly from Dyson).

(?). My hair never feels like dry to the touch (almost with a crispy feel - yikes - and to be clear I did not change cleansing/conditioning products, etc., I used the same heat protectant styling products I always use, and I varied the heat setting between medium and high, and made sure to keep moving....I'm 52...I've been doing this a while, but even at that it was not a great end result, and I watched all the Dyson tutorials, and MANY others on the web). The dryer portion of the tool was fine, but certainly not amazing or better than my normal dryer (Sam Villa) (I didn't buy this for the dryer anyway). Finally, although I don't normally curl my hair, I experimented with the curling barrels. These were pretty great in terms of ease of curling and they produced bouncy fun curls, but, sadly they fell flat in less than 30 minutes - maybe that is my hair in terms of not holding curl, etc. Not sure. Bottom line: If curling your hair is your thing and your hair tends to hold a curl, this product will be good for you. In my opinion, however, if all you want is a style normally achieved with a blowout with a round brush, this is way too much product, way too much money and takes up WAY too much bathroom space for that. I was longing for my trusty Sam Villa dryer after 3 weeks....

Not worth the money

My Feyonce bought me this for Christmas, and if I wasn’t so naive and threw away the box, it would have been returned.The curls do not last. I never had to use hair spray before to keep my curls lasting all day when I did my hair with my straightener. With this, I’ve had to buy a good strong holding hairspray and mousse, which is another product I never had to use before, just to keep the “curls” (I quote curls as even with product they still fall out into soft waves) holding for the day. When I get up the next day after sleeping on them, it looks like I never had my hair done the day before. By the time I finish my last section of hair, the first section is already out. I thought this tool would save me time but if anything it takes twice as long as you need to ... MoreMy Feyonce bought me this for Christmas, and if I wasn’t so naive and threw away the box, it would have been returned.The curls do not last.

I thought this tool would save me time but if anything it takes twice as long as you need to hold a cold shot after every individual curl, have to use very small sections of hair in order for it to curl, have to spray every section with hairspray right after it’s done, which I also hate because I hate the feeling of hair spray in my hair.With 7 attachments I was hoping to be able to put my straightener up for good, but unfortunately there is no attachment that allows me to straighten out any small natural curls/cow licks I have at the root of my hair. So even with a $800 tool on my counter top, I still have to use my straightener every time I wash my hair to smooth out my roots.A lot of the attachments still don’t add lift to my roots. I have very flat hair to begin with, and thought that this tool would be my solution, but unfortunately Dyson has let me down once again in this area as well. I’ve watched countless videos on how to correctly use every attachment and still, very small amount of volume is added to my hair.So moral of the story, save your money. Do not waste it on this, as the results that are advertised are nowhere near what you actually get. Very disappointed with this purchase. For $100-$200, sure, but $800? Dyson is out to lunch.
