What the gurus are saying

Gurus overwhelmingly praise the Airwrap for delivering salon-quality results with minimal effort, particularly for volume and bouncy waves, and for reducing heat damage through gentler styling and longer-lasting holds. The steep price is consistently acknowledged as a barrier but justified by its versatility and durability. The main split: it works beautifully for curls, waves, and volume but struggles with sleek straight styles, forcing some users to pair it with a separate flat iron. One reviewer found it simply ineffective for her hair type.

"I know it's expensive but this is the time to save if you can the Dyson Airwrap. I have fed into the frenzy and I am obsessed with it and I get really upset at them when I travel and I can't take it with me that's the biggest negative."

"The Dyson Airwrap has saved my life. I do not know how to style my hair, but that Dyson hair dryer makes it appear like I put some effort when I put zero effort in."

"I used my Dyson Airwrap. I put the honey milk through and it kind of is supposed to be like a styling milk cream thing and it like controlled frizz pretty well."

"I received mine for my birthday last month and I've used it consistently since. I love how bouncy and soft it makes my hair feel. Game changer for sure."
If I Took You to Sephora, Here's What I'd Buy You! 😍
"I think I'm ready for the Dyson Airwrap. I literally for years I'm like no, I never do my hair, whatever, but I'm pushing 30, I'm going to turn 30 next year, and I was like, you know what, a Dyson Airwrap feels like it fits my 30s. I think that I'm old enough for a Dyson Airwrap now. It's such a splurge. It's actually an insane price point, but Tik Tok has convinced me. It took me like three years to be convinced, but I think I'm convinced."

"The Dyson Airwrap, you get the hair dryer setting, which is kind of nice. So you get more features, you get more bang for your buck than just buying like an expensive hair dryer. I actually have both, so I kind of know, but I think the Airwrap you'll get more utility out of it."

"None of the Dyson Airwrap, air straight, you know, flat irons, none of them work well for me or well enough. And I generally don't like flat irons that much because they just seem to crush a clump of hair down, making it really flat, but the strawlikeness is still there."
Approved
"The Dyson Airwrap is something that is absolutely an investment but I truly feel like has leveled up my hair care routine. I do a lot of heat styling for my hair and my hair is also bleached so it's very prone to damage, and by incorporating the Dyson Airwrap into my routine I feel like I don't have to heat style it as often because the style really lasts and it has gentle heat for my hair so it's less damaging. If you find your hair to be a bit more limp or fine, the Dyson Airwrap is such a good way to get a lot of volume. I use the Big Barrel attachment and I blow dry it away from my face and I get so much height when I do that. There are so many different styling things you can use the Dyson for. I use it as my main blow dryer, I also use it to give myself a blowout, and if I just want loose bouncy curls, the Dyson is great for that. I also find that when I use it to style my hair it really lifts my hair up and off of my head, which not only gives me volume but it also means I don't have to wash my hair as often because I find that it doesn't get greasy as fast. This is a pricier gift but if you have a mother, a sister, or a personal desire to use the Dyson, I think you cannot go wrong."

Top 6 Beauty Investments For Fuller Hair and More | Dr. Sam Ellis
"I invested in a Dyson Airwrap because I do style my hair a lot, my hair is also bleached so it has a lot of damage to it, and I really wanted to be using heat on my hair in a more responsible way. Even if I'm not using the Dyson throughout my hair every single day, I will use it to refresh the front pieces every day just so that it lays a little bit nicer. The front of my hair is not only an area that gets a lot more heat because it needs to be styled more often, but it's also where all my postpartum regrowth is coming in, so I want to be extra careful with those pieces. I use all the attachments actually, but the blow dry attachment I use every single time I'm blow drying my hair, and the round brush is the other one that I use a lot. It has been so amazing for my hair."

"I had just gotten the Dyson Airwrap at about the same time because at that stage I was more interested in the curls the waves the body that I could get from the air wrap but the longer that my hair has gotten the more I wear it straight. To get the really really good effect I have to use two different devices so I'm blow drying my hair first and then I'm going in with the straightener after that's not really great for my hair."
Approved
"I'm obsessed with my air wrap. It makes like, I can achieve this round brush look but in 10 minutes, like so fast. You can brush the back of your hair without putting so much tension on it, and you can use that brush attachment. I love it. It really is good for you, like when you're doing your own hair it just makes it so much easier."
Approved
"It is my favorite hair styling tool. I so missed it while I was away because two weeks without it, you know, it doesn't work in Europe, but when I got home, I practically ran into my bathroom and like kissed my Dyson. I was so happy to be back with it. It makes my hair look really good and I highly recommend that."

"I use the Dyson Airwrap with the round brush attachment. Those are hard for me because it's blowing from inside the brush, but air brushes like that are really good for the fact that they are one unit."

"It gives me the kind of style that I want. It's never stiff or sticky, it doesn't make your hair feel like weirdly plasticky, just makes your hair feel like hair. And it just gives me so much shine. It is just the best hair dryer that you will ever use. I've had mine for a few years, this is my original one."

"The Dyson Airwrap is really worth it to get it on sale. This is my original one I've had this for seven or eight years now, so even though it's a huge investment it lasts and it comes with all the attachments that you need to do your hair, so it's like a one-and-done. It has the blow dryer attachment which I use almost every day or every day that I dry my hair. Then I love this paddle brush, this is really what I use to smooth and sleekify my hair and make it super shiny and nice. And then lately I've been using the round brush attachment to do my bangs and to give me a little bit of curl on the end."

"The Dyson Airwrap is the best blow dryer styler that I've ever used. I actually reviewed this when it first came out way back in 2019, so 5 years ago, and this is my original Dyson Airwrap. This thing is built like a tank. I've never had a problem with it. I don't love the Airwrap attachments on it, that's the one thing that I don't love, but I love it as my blow dryer. It cut my blow dry time down from about half an hour to 10 minutes because something about the Dyson air pushes it through with such velocity that it can use less heat and it dries your hair faster. Everything is magnetized so you just pop them on and off. I go in with the paddle brush attachment and I blow my hair nice and sleek, and then just to finish my bangs and the ends I put on the round brush attachment. Then I can style my bangs, get them to go the right way away from my face, I can curl the ends. They come in sets based on how your hair is, so if you have curly hair they'll give you the attachments to do your curly hair."

"Switching from a regular blow dryer to my Dyson Airwrap has made a really huge difference in my hair. I really don't use the air wrap attachment that much, I generally use the paddle brush, the general blow dry attachment, and the round brush, but I love my Dyson. This is still my original one. You know it's expensive, but I've had this one for I don't know six or seven years now. It's so great. It's just the best hair dryer ever."
