We reviewed the new back-in-stock Dyson Airwrap: is it worth the hype?

Our review of the Dyson Airwrap 2022:

1. The Airwrap 1.6 and 1.4 long barrels

Since most hype surrounds the magical and effortless Airwrap curls, I’ll cut right to the chase. Note: I did dry and smooth my hair first, as you must use damp-to-the-touch hair for the Airwrap curling barrels to work correctly.

Once damp, I sectioned my hair as best I could and then tried to insert the first piece. This part was honestly the most difficult for me, as I had to unlearn the curling of yesteryear, allowing the Airwrap’s Coanda airflow to grab the hair for me instead of twisting myself.

However, once I got the hang of it, the rest of my head took mere minutes to fully curl — no small feat, as my hair reaches my belly button! I was impressed by the new Airwrap feature that allows you to switch the direction of the curl without having to change the barrel, resulting in bouncy curls on both sides of my head.

I also have to praise the longer barrel, as it was much easier to get every strand of hair curled, unlike other smaller barrels that only curl the ends or leave crinkles and kinks.

Lastly, the cooling setting is a saving grace, as it not only locks in the curl without using extra hairspray, but it also helped me not to burn myself, something that I somehow always manage to do (more than once) when using a traditional curling iron. This would also be great for a beginner hair-curler, as the device doesn’t get too hot and cause any concern for burns.

The firm and soft smoothing brushes and volumizing brush

I also wanted to leave a section for the other attachments, as they are also worthy of praise.

I used the Coanda smoothing dryer to dry my hair, which took my shower-wet hair to damp in just 3 minutes. For someone with long, thick hair, that is seriously impressive and will cut anyone’s hairstyling time in half. Another perk I enjoyed was the lack of frizz due to the smoothing effect and the burst of cool air I used at the end of my drying session.

The brush attachments act as my new best friends when I aim to have smooth and straight hair. Just like an ordinary hair bush, I ran them through my hair, bottom to top, to prevent any snarls, and watched as my hair smoothed out and straightened.

To finish things off, the round brush was a great way to add that final bounce to my look. Even with heavy hair, the round volumizing brush managed to add that slight wave and body to my hair for a blowout look that could have been straight from the salon.

Our assessment?

Well, as many of us and our wallets may not want to believe, the Dyson Airwrap is indeed worth the hype. I loved its ease of use, especially for beginners, the anti-frizz properties and the many attachments that come with it.

To get in on the Airwrapping fun, we suggest buying it STAT, as you never know when it will sell out once more.
