Everything You Need To Know About The Dyson Airwrap

Only two words to describe it… Life changing.

One day a few months ago I hopped on a Zoom call and was immediately struck by how amazing the friend on screen’s hair looked. I assumed she had gotten a professional blowout because that’s what it looked like. I was amazed to find out that she had achieved this level of beautiful blown-out hair with the Dyson Airwrap.

I had previously looked into and asked for a Dyson Airwrap for Christmas a couple of years ago, but when I didn’t receive it, it sort of fell off my radar. Honestly, the high price tag ($550) was also a deterrent in moving forward with this hair tool. However, seeing the outcome from using the Airwrap on a person I actually know in real life made me want to try it for myself.



Unfortunately, that proved to be a little harder than just submitting my order on Amazon and having it show up at my door the next day because the Dyson Airwrap is so popular and amazing they were sold out everywhere!

There was also one other thing holding me back, I couldn’t find any reviews or tutorials on how the Dyson Airwrap worked on a Beaded Row Extension method. Since I didn’t have any idea exactly how this tool worked I wasn’t sure if it would work on a hand-tied weft or Machine weft sew in row type extension method. (Examples would include: Natural Beaded Row, NBR, Habit Hand Tied, JZ Styles, Invisible Beaded Extensions, IBE, SKW Method, Bellami methods).

Around this same time, I decided to take a break from wearing my hair extensions and made a “deal” with myself that if I could take a break from extensions, I would use the money I would have invested on the install on a Dyson Airwrap. I kept my promise to myself and located a Dyson Airwrap and the rest is history. It was love at first curl!

After mastering and understanding how the Dyson Airwrap worked I wanted to see how it would do with my hand-tied hair extensions, so I put them back in and tried it out. Let’s just say expectations were exceeded and I decided to fill the void in the tutorial market and make my own tutorial and review on how to use the Dyson Airwrap on a beaded sew-in hair extension method.

This tutorial and the Dyson Airwrap are great not only for Hair Extension wearers but anyone interested in the Airwrap. I tested and explained how to use several of the attachments in my tutorial and I have to say they are all great.


So, why do I love my Dyson Airwrap?

1)      The ease of use

2)      It drys and styles your hair at the same time

3)      The fact that it looks like a professional blowout in the comfort of my own home

4)      How safe it is for your hair

5)      How much time I save using it

6)      How many ways you can style your hair with just one tool

 

The Dyson Airwrap is a 3 in 1 styling tool, it dries, straightens, and curls hair with one easy to use base and 6 attachment options. This thing basically does your hair for you! It eliminates the multi-step process I used to go through before, I had to blow dry my hair and go back in with a straightener or curler. This tool cuts down on time because I can curl or straighten while I’m drying my hair. It also cuts down on damage because I’m using fewer tools and less heat. The heat is not being applied directly to my hair like a traditional straightener or curling iron and because it’s using air, it is significantly less damaging to your hair.

The Dyson Airwrap is also so easy to use that with a little practice anyone can get the look of a professional blowout at home, and if you’re a person who gets a weekly blowout at a salon this will pay for itself and save you so much damage! Oh, and time!


This tool is amazing on my natural hair when I am without my extensions. I have the hardest time styling the back of my head, especially when I wear my hair straight. I somehow always manage to end up with a weird line/crease right in the back, so much so that I tend to not wear my hair straight. Not anymore! The Dyson Airwrap has two attachments, the round volumizing brush and soft smoothing brush that eliminate this problem and allows for me to wear my hair straight and sleek without help from a professional stylist. Plus, the volume…incredible!

The 1.2-inch barrels allow me to create the most beautiful voluminous curls not only on my natural hair but my hair extensions too! This is the only time I’ve ever been able to achieve a professional-looking full-bodied curled hairstyle on my own and as an added bonus when I use the barrel attachments while wearing my hair extensions the way the tool grabs your hair to curl it, it blends my natural hair and extension hair so beautifully it’s the most seamless style I have ever seen.

I particularly love using the Dyson Airwrap with my extensions because it effortlessly blends my real and extension hair together creating the most natural and seamless look. When you wear hair extensions, the whole point is for no one to ever realize that you are wearing hair extensions. Any woman who wears them will tell you that they live in fear of the blend not being perfect and it appearing obvious that all the hair your flaunting didn’t actually grow out of your own head, and that Dyson Airwrap takes this fear away and it’s way easier to use than more traditional styling tools. It makes me excited to do my hair rather than dread hair washing day. Now if that isn’t a glowing endorsement I don’t know what is!


Now a few logistics about the Dyson Airwrap: 

The Dyson Airwrap comes with 6 styling attachments:

1) 1.2-inch Airwrap™ barrels – For voluminous curls and waves.

2) 1.6-inch Airwrap™ barrels – For loose curls and waves.

3) Firm smoothing brush – For smooth hair and to control frizz-prone hair.

4) Soft smoothing brush – To gently align and smooth fine hair.

5) Round volumizing brush –Volumizing and shaping for fine, flat hair.

6) Pre-styling dryer – takes hair from wet to damp, to prepare for styling.

 

The Dyson Airwrap Styler is powered by the Coanda effect which is a technology using high pressure and high-velocity air to style your hair. The best thing about this technology is that if you have damage this styler will help restore the health of your hair, and if your hair is healthy it will keep it that way. This technology helps protect your hair’s natural shine and reduce frizz.

The Airwrap is a Dyson product so of course, it’s an “aerodynamic phenomenon” with its digital motor V9, 13-blade impeller that spins at up to 110,000rpm and generates 3.2Pa of pressure. Now if this sounds scary to you, guess what it also comes with a 2-year warranty, which is always a plus when you are purchasing a “power tool.”

One of the biggest selling points for me is the intelligent heat control technology, this is also why I love my Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer so much! The heat control technology measures the styler’s air flow temperature over 40 times per second and regulates the heat to ensure it stays below a safe 302 degrees Fahrenheit/ 150 degrees Celsius. If you compare that to a traditional curling or straightening iron that’s about half the amount of heat!

I could go on and on and on about how much I love the Dyson Airwrap Styler, but I think you get the point! This hair tool has changed my life and my perspective, having a beautiful blowout doesn’t have to be from a salon or blow dry bar, and it also doesn’t have to take forever and damage your hair in the process. The only downfall I’ve found to this product is the cost, but you know what they say… “You get what you pay for!” The good news is you’ll be getting the best and healthiest hair of your life!

Peace, Love, and All the Beautiful Blowouts!
