Dyson's Airwrap Multi-Styler has been the talk of the beauty world since its launch, promising salon-worthy curls, waves, and sleek styles without extreme heat damage. The latest iteration, the Airwrap 2.0, claims to be even more efficient—but does it live up to the hype? We tested it for a week to find out.
First Impressions: Sleek Design, Premium Feel
Unboxing the Airwrap 2.0 feels like unwrapping a luxury gadget. The matte finish and compact attachments scream high-end, and the magnetic connections make switching between barrels effortless. It's clear Dyson has prioritised both aesthetics and functionality.
Performance: Faster Drying, Smoother Styling
The upgraded Coanda airflow technology is the star here. Unlike traditional curling irons, the Airwrap uses air to wrap hair around the barrel, reducing heat exposure. We noticed faster drying times compared to the original, and the new smoothing brushes left hair noticeably shinier.
Pros:
- Versatile: Six attachments cover everything from tight curls to poker-straight locks.
- Less damage: Lower heat settings help protect hair integrity.
- Intuitive: The learning curve is shorter than expected.
Cons:
- Pricey: At £500+, it's a serious investment.
- Not for all hair types: Extremely thick or coarse hair may need multiple passes.
- No auto-shutoff: A minor gripe for such a premium device.
Final Verdict: Worth the Splurge?
If you regularly style your hair and want to minimise damage, the Airwrap 2.0 is a game-changer. While the price tag is steep, the results—and hair health benefits—justify it for frequent users. Casual stylers might find it overkill, but for enthusiasts, it's a worthy upgrade.
