Dyson Airwrap ($599)
Dyson’s bestselling Airwrap is worth the hype — and the $600 price tag. Because of its multifunctional attachments, the Airwrap can do it all and handle different types of hair, whether it’s long or short, straight or curly. Plus, it replaces a wide range of tools, such as a blow dryer, curler, round brush, blow-dry brush, and flat iron, so you can have a streamlined setup. This has similar fast-drying capabilities as the Supersonic Hair Dryer without using extreme heat, never exceeding 230°F. This investment-worthy tool is ideal for someone who styles and changes their hair often, and switches between beachy waves to a sleek blowout on a whim. It’s a tool that is going to replace everything else in their routine. Read our review of the Dyson Airwrap for more.
Attachments: For Curly to Coily Hair: a diffuser, coanda smoothing dryer attachment, large volumizing brush, a wide-tooth comb, a firm smoothing brush, a 1.2-inch Airwrap long barrel. For Straight to Wavy Hair: a 1.2-inch Airwrap barrel, one 1.6-inch Airwrap barrel, a soft smoothing brush, a firm smoothing brush, a round volumizing brush, and a smoothing dryer attachment.
Editor Quote: “The round volumizing brush is definitely my most-used attachment and, in my opinion, the most versatile. I use it every time I do my hair, whether I’m doing a full look with my Airwrap or using other hot tools as well. This attachment is basically a round brush and a blow dryer in one, and it’s perfect for achieving bouncy blowouts or loose waves… The smaller barrels give a tighter curl, while the larger barrels help you achieve a loose, bouncy curl. The soft smoothing brush is perfect for achieving a straight look without sacrificing volume. The biggest difference I’ve noticed with my hair when using the Airwrap vs. hot tools is that my styles always last a lot longer. The bouncy waves I get when using the barrels often last at least three days, whereas my style after using a hot tool only lasts one day. Plus, I’ve noticed such a difference in the health of my hair because the Airwrap doesn’t use extreme heat.” – RR
