Dyson Special Edition Airstrait Straightener Strawberry Bronze/Blush Pink

I bought this at the end of July and it's now mid August and I'm loving it. I knew before purchasing that my frizzy hair wouldn't end up poker straight like a hair straightener can create, but I never expected the results I'm getting. Whether using it on wet or dry hair, I'm able to get straight hair (better than I can with Dyson hairdryer or air wrap, still love both of these!) which looks great. I had initial concerns about how I'd get my roots to look ok but using the drying function on roots seems to be doing the job. I've just had carpal tunnel surgery on my right (dominant) hand and I have successfully used the airstrait one handed and although it took slightly longer, the end results were spot on.

I had initial concerns about how I'd get my roots to look ok but using the drying function on roots seems to be doing the job. I've just had carpal tunnel surgery on my right (dominant) hand and I have successfully used the airstrait one handed and although it took slightly longer, the end results were spot on. I have shoulder length, frizzy, thick hair (not sure of the 'type') and to dry from towel dried it takes me 12 minutes to do the whole head and 5 minutes to whizz over dry hair (with 2 hands). It's not as heavy as I thought it would be, it's on par with a pair of straighteners (not as heavy as the Dyson corralle). I've been using it in the heat of summer and I've sent other reviewers say that the heat is too much, personally I can cope with it at its hottest (140c), it reminds me of the Dyson air blade hand driers but hot and in the other direction!! Would I recommend this? 100%, it's pricey but find me a decent hairstyler that isn't these days.

I am really quite impressed with the Dyson Airstrait. Although I was initially skeptical, I am able to get my hair from wet to pin-straight & dry in basically one step.Positives are:Ease of use, device is light, very beautifully made. It still impresses me that I was able to get my hair SO dry and SO straight while staying on the "Wet" setting, basically exclusively the lowest heat + middle heat of the "Wet" mode settings...so no extreme heat AT ALL. After watching some YouTube videos, I also found that I was able to get my ROOTS perfectly straight as well, which is not evident when you first start off with the AirStrait.And then if you want to do extra straightening, you can use the "Dry" mode; however I found that I really didn't need to - which was pretty ... MoreI am really quite impressed with the Dyson Airstrait.

Even my boyfriend was amazed how effective the Airstrait was in getting my hair pin-straight "without all the steam" (read: damage).Another benefit: it shuts off after a few seconds if you're not using it...which at first I thought was a negligible benefit - but after using it, I find it *so* helpful that the AirStrait remembers your previous setting and just turns on when you pick it up again....which eliminates fiddling with the buttons each time.Negatives: It does take a minute to learn how to use, but overall pretty easy. I also find that you have to get used to opening and closing the arms, so that could get tiring if you're not used to it...but not really too different from a traditional flat iron.Overall: a great addition to your haircare arsenal - I highly recommend it!

I bought this to only pass it on after 5months of usage.I really thought this would be the ideal device for keeping my hair straight and kempt through the day.My hair type includes long, thick, frizzy and wavy hair texture.Pros of dyson airstrait1. Kept my hair straight most parts of the day, was a little wav by the end of the day.2. Dual function of a hair dryer and a straightener is indeed helpful if I only wanted to dry my hair and not straighten it.3. Beautiful device and colour4. Absolutely innovative designCons of the dyson airstrait1. Price is exorbitant (but then again so are most dyson products)2. It takes some getting used to its weight. The airstrait isnt too heavy but neither is it light. So it does takes some endurance and strength to use ... MoreI bought this to only pass it on after 5months of usage.I really thought this would be the ideal device for keeping my hair straight and kempt through the day.My hair type includes long, thick, frizzy and wavy hair texture.Pros of dyson airstrait1.

Absolutely innovative designCons of the dyson airstrait1. Price is exorbitant (but then again so are most dyson products)2. It takes some getting used to its weight. The airstrait isnt too heavy but neither is it light. So it does takes some endurance and strength to use the device when getting through the whole head of hair.3. It takes very long to straighten my hair evenly straight because it requires doing it in sections since the airstrait can only straighten a small amount of hair at a time. So it is time consuming to do it everyday after my hair wash, which event led me to not look forward to drying/straightening my hair after a bath.4. Despite its non heat damage feature being a top feature; there is still heat in the hot air blowing at your hair! For straightening to be more effective, higher temperate settings is required if not you’ll be setting it at a lower temperature setting but straightening the same amount of hair a few times which becomes more time consuming.5. Because of the high temperature of the hot air blowing, my hair was still slightly damaged after 5months of usage despite adding heat protectant cream.6. Not evenly straightened hair after every usage. It was difficult for me to find a rhythm with this device because at times, my hair remained straight through the most of the day, sometimes my hair gets wavy faster or is not evenly straighten which is frustrating. So that meant, using higher temperature settings and adding more passes at the same section of the hair (which made my hair very hot when touched!)7. The major con is the high hair loss I had through the 5months which got me very worried. My husband and I noticed a lot more hair on the floor after every usage of the device because the nature of the device is to pull the hair downwards and blowing hot air downwards. So the more passes = more hair loss. So by the 5th month, I decided that usage of the airstrait is not good for my hair health for the long run.
