I would not recommend this product. After a year it started to play up and kept stopping with the red button flashing. This also happened with my straightener. Customer suppport is appalling. Dyson if you charge top dollar make sure your customer service is up to scratch!!! I would consider other alternatives in the future. Not worth the money.
This is an absolute game changer. I have coarse, curly, fuzzy hair. I was told by many including hairdressers that the Dyson Airwrap would not dry or curl my hair properly. I am 58 years old and have spent my life visiting a hairdresser weekly to get a blow dry. I used the Dyson Airwrap with the large styling brush and wet hair to dry my hair in… Read more
30 minutes with minimum effort and had a blow dry better than I received at the hairdressers! I had a full volume blow dry with kick flip turn up ends and my hair looked glossy and healthy. It would take me more than an hour with a standard hair dryer and my arms and neck would be so sore. I have done this now on numerous occasions and with the same fabulous result. Last night I was going out and no time to wash my hair, so I gave the narrow curling barrel a go and transformed my dirty hair into a head of curls that sufficed for a quick dinner with a girlfriend. The curls do drop but if it is used properly with the cooling setting the curls last a lot longer than then of a standard curling iron. For those that say it’s no good-I suggest you do an online tutorial to ensure you are using it properly and buy yourself some good products. Dyson products are expensive- there is no doubt about that. However this company is the leading researcher, developer, tester, manufacturer of incredible products. They have so much R&D money to recuperate for their innovative products and as soon as they are released onto the market others rip them off. The Dyson Airwrap is a superior hair dryer and hair styler. You are getting two appliances for the price of one. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Do not waste your money on this product ! I purchased the Dyson Airwrap, spent $800.00 and in hindsight it's the most regretful buy I have ever made. The Airwrap worked great for a short period and then the red light came on and that was the end of it. It would not turn back on. Called Dyson support, went to post office, sent it back, 3 weeks… Read more
without, received a replacement only to find some of the attachments won't attach and keep falling off. Called Support, attachment can be replaced but is not available in the matching colour, would I mind if they sent one in a different colour, sure no problem. Have used the replacement airwrap maybe 10 - 12 times and yes - you guessed right - the red light is back on and the machine doesn't work. So here we go again... go to the post office, send it back, received a text message from Dyson yesterday, they are waiting for spare parts it will be 2 weeks before they get them - so all up another 4 without a hair dryer/styler. I'm over it.

Review of Dyson Airwrap™ (Refurbished Model): I purchased the Dyson Airwrap™ Long Complete Refurbished (Order #1703816707), and unfortunately, the device stopped working after just 5 uses. It doesn't turn on, and I contacted Dyson customer support to resolve the issue. In response to my request, I was told that they cannot offer a refund because… Read more
the product is refurbished, and according to their policy, returns are not possible. However, the device does not work properly, and I have not received a satisfactory solution from the company.
I ask Dyson to consider issuing a refund, as the product was faulty within 30 days of purchase. I am very disappointed with the quality of service and the lack of response to my inquiries.
I hope for a prompt resolution and a fair outcome.
Thanks for providing you review. We're disappointed to hear… Read more
The Dyson air wrap has changed my life – This has been the answer to all of my dreams. The air wrap does take a couple goes to get used to so persevere. It’s been really easy to handle and manage and my hair genuinely looks like it’s been don professionally. They give you so many attachments which means I’ve been able to mix and match and change my hairstyles. I have long hair and it… Read more
takes roughly ten minutes to style from damp so also been a time saver. Plus being heat controlled has helped. I’ve attached a pic of my hair length and type for reference PROS: -many attachments -hair looks insanely shiny and smooth -quick to use
CONS: -the price tag. Get this one on Black Friday -would be great if it were wireless like the vacuums -takes a little bit to get used to
Hair curler, dryer, styler all in one gadget! – Love, love my airwrap! I needed something to dry, curl and style all in one without the heat damage! I have found the solution with the Dyson airwrap! So worth the money!!!! Show details

Bye bye cloud 9 – I recieved this product as a gift from my partner, I love the fact that this styler doesn't get t0o hot and is safe for my 12 year old daughter to use with supervision without burning herself. The smoothing/straightening brushes are amazing I have not looked back to my hair straightener (Cloud 9) since Christmas. Only downfall is the airwrap… Read more · 1
curling attachments, they don't seem to grab the hair the way I thought it would, only grabs bits and pieces but still works ok. Over all I love this product it is super easy to use and no split ends or burning smells like hair straighteners.
Fantastic for fluffy or frizzy hair types – I am surprised by the negative reviews, as my experience of the Airwrap has been nothing but positive. I guess it can be quite dependent on individual hair type. To give realistic expectations of longevity and results- I’ve added a photo with what my hair looked like 2 days AFTER quickly using the Airwrap with a large barrel (which took about 7… Read more
minutes). This is true lazy girl hair- it’s not perfect, but it has volume and a ‘lived in’ curl for a few minutes work days ago.
I have long hair with a natural wave and problematic frizz, and I have found the curls achieved have been smooth and soft, and held until I wash my hair again- albeit that they do loosen over the days. I don’t add any styling product, I just use a heat protector prior to curling. I would highly suggest the long barrel option if your hair is any longer than collar length.
There are a multitude of YouTube tutorials that help to learn how to use it. I have had good success with both the thin and the thick barrel, although if you want a smaller curl that stays tighter, perhaps the small barrel would be preferable. The best tip is to make sure your roots are 80% dry, the ends are damp, and give each curl a good long ‘cool shot’ prior to unraveling. You can pin the curl overnight if you really want additional longevity. I have my hair curled and set within 10-15 minutes and my hair looks voluminous and softly curled for days after. I wear a surgical scrub cap at work and it still retains volume and curl even after wearing that, so I’m very happy.
My hairdresser commented on how good my hair looked, and even she was surprised at the smoothness achieved for someone with frizzy hair like mine. It is a heat styler so it is naive to think that there is no damage to your hair, however I haven’t had dry ‘crunchy’ ends using this like I do when using a hair straightener, so for me the damage seems so be significantly less and minimal.
It is a big financial outlay, but I have been nothing but pleased with the quality, ease of use and excellent longevity of volume and curl. There are lots of attachments so I feel you get good value as there are many results you can achieve from straight to curly.
I get better curl longevity from the Airwrap than I do with a salon blowdry and curl, so it’s been a game changer for me.

Awesome once you get the hang of it – The Airwrap delivers great results than regular dryer/ curler combos , but does take some practice. Gentle on your hair , smooth glossy finish and quick drying time . Show details
COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT – I used to pay to get my hair washed and blow waved professionally weekly, until I bought the Dyson Air Wrap. This product is like a professional blow wave without the extra cost! I have very fluffy and curly hair and this god send of a product tames it like no other. Highly recommend. Show details
Absolutely Love this – Once you master the concept of both air direction and allowing the wand to “self collect” and wind your hair this styling tool is effortless. Show details
Negative reviews
1 star is wayyyy too much! Firstly, we tested this on FINE, SHOULDER LENGTH HAIR, so not long hair or thick hair that contributes to more weighing down. The curls only seem to last 1 hour at best. Secondly, we also spent an additional $90AUD to purchase the "Dyson Pre style cream / Straight to wavy, light conditioning" but this made absolutely… Read more
no difference. Don't waste your money on the Dyson Airwrap as your curls really SHOULD be lasting for more than 1 hour, especially if also using Dyson curl enhancing creams. We would not recommend the Dyson Airwrap for curling hair as this was tested on light weight density, shoulder length hair. We found the GHD stick curler to be much better with curls lasting for an entire day and the MUK stick curler is even better where we found the curls lasted for a few days. Hope this can help others!!

Two year life limit – Was great when it works. But they all stop working after 2 years mine and four other friends have all had the same experience. Save your money and buy a dupe, then it doesn’t hurt when it’s cost you $400 a year to own one. They must have a built in redundancy where they expire after two years so you will spend the money on a new one. Show details

Worst Dyson Airwrap Hair tool ever – Bought Dyson Airwrap recently from Myer. It's long and heavy not convenient strains hand and also it does not curl hair. Waste of money. Returns is so difficult. There was nothing underneath product saying once opened no return supported. How would a customer know without opening and using product. Product does not do the job as its advertised.… Read more
This is ridiculous.So be aware you may loose your money and this is way expensive. I won't even give 1 star. I will lodge a complaint. I need my full refund soon. The worst part was you cant get a refund, the money back guarantee is all lie. You can't just sell item which don't work as you advertise. I wish I had read all this reviews before wasting my money. I regret so much. I was told I can't get refund. I will make a complaint on this.

Worst ever with a hairdryer – Never ever ever waste your money on a Dyson Airwrap (any versions) worst product ever made and it’s worth $3 at best. I bought three over time, everyone I know who has them went and bought cheaper hair dryers with no attachments because that and a brush is better than this crap. It doesn’t last, always overheats and takes forever to do anything.… Read more

Disappointing for curls – I was so excited to use this cult product. I did so much research and watched all the tutorials. It just does not work on curly hair. Yes, I've used mousse, gels, hairspray, I followed all the instructions and tried all the tricks. The worst case scenario - so much frizz from the get- go. Maybe it was a humid day? The best case scenario- looks… Read more
styled and shiny for about 2 hours before it starts frizzing. 2 measly hours. I haven't even left home at this point.
Beyond frustrating and for the price point I expected much more. Not worth the hassle. I'm going back to my flat iron and curling rod. Cheers.

Big money for short life span – I received the airwrap as a birthday gift. It did take me a little while to get the hang of using it.

on. After cleaning the filter thoroughly, it then stopped working all together. When my husband contacted Dyson, they said it would cost $199 to fix it. For something that cost so much money, I would expect it to not only last longer, but for a bit better response from Dyson. My husband has very kindly paid the money to get it fixed, as it was such a big expense to buy, but I do not recommend purchasing this product!

Not bad but not great for the price – Didn’t love my Airwrap initially but after getting the hang of it, it’s not pretty good. I think the pros and cons are you have heat damage with other hotter, more powerful tools and get great styling or the Dyson is more gentle on your hair but doesn’t style quite as well. A little pricey for what it is. I was also extremely disappointed to discover that my tan (leather I thought) case has now starting to peel. Show details

Waste of money – Possibly the worst hair curling tool I’ve used. Hair looks amazing straight after styling it, but within 30min it’s almost straight. I’ve watched videos on how to use it and have tried it on damp hair, dry hair, freshly cleaned hair and a day after washing. Nothing works, extremely disappointed!!! Show details

Biggest Regret – Had such high hopes but this turned out to be the biggest disappointment. I have tired styling from wet to dry, dry after blow wave, I've tired hairspray, textured spray and had a hair dresser teach me the best technique to get my desired look and everything within a matter of minutes the curls drop & fall out. Left with a flat head of hair. Not worth the price or the hype. Show details

Dont waste your money – Curls never hold, ive tried all different styling products and all the tips on dyson videos. I have had curls hold my hair for days. I have bought curl rollers, pins, styling products and heat protection products and the curls dont even last 30 minutes! This was a gift from my partner and it is very disappointing that the outcome is rubbish and now resulting in potentially selling the dyson airwrap and i dont want to use it, its pointless Show details

Not worth the money and can't buy attachments – First of all, don't be influenced by the stuff you see on TikTok and Instagram. Most people aren't going to get smooth, bouncy blowout curls with minimum effort. Secondly, you may need additional attachments to work with your hair but you can't buy them as they are never in stock. Plus, it's disappointing that you have to spend more money to get… Read more
it to work (and this is even with me paying more for a customised set for my hair type).
If you are intent on buying one, I strongly recommend getting the one for long hair no matter what type or length of hair you get. The short barrels are more difficult to work with.
Customised option: I purchased the customised option for short / fine hair which cost a lot more than the standard set. I received a long 20mm curling barrel which is pretty good, but the blowdry brush is too big for my hair and the smoothing brushes are also pretty useless, particularly the large one. I wish they included a small blowdry brush instead of the large smoothing brush. The customised set contained: 1 x long 20mm barrel, 1 x short 30mm barrel (I prefer a long barrel, even on shorter hair), 1 x small smoothing brush, 1x large smoothing brush (useless for me), 1 x Coanda smoothing dryer attachment (a bit awkward as a hair dryer, does smooth ok). I thought I would receive a free gift buying direct from Dyson for $949 but no dice. The standard sets do go on sale regularly, so wait for these. I don't think the customised sets go on sale.
How it works:
Most people purchase this for the wrap barrels to get curls / blow out look. To get the bounce to stay you have to have damp hair, use a lot of product, section your hair carefully. blast each curl with warm then cold air, let sit without touching for awhile. Some people even pin the curls after forming them. The curling barrels have a knob that you can twist to change direction of the curl. The barrel will often pick up hair you don't want it to pick up. For me the result is messy and frizzy even following the instructions. I believe this is due to my hair length (above collarbone bob) and type (very fine and thin).
As a blowdry brush... The round brush attachment I received is a medium one. For my fine hair I need the small round brush but it is never in stock. Some people will prefer the large brush which can also be difficult to purchase. It is pretty decent to use as a blowdry brush but there are much cheaper alternatives if this is your primary use.
The smoothing brushes are very hard, not great on fine hair. I received a large one in my set which is useless to me. The brushes don't feel firmly attached to the barrel. They hurt your head if they come in contact with it. I can see that the smoothing brushes may be good on thick, frizzy hair but they will flatten some of your volume. I do use the smaller one to rough dry my hair after washing, it is good for blowing in different directions to give some root lift.
The flyaway smoothing tool / blow dry attachment. There is a knob to switch between blowdryer (small, awkard and directional) and the flyaway smoothing tool. It does smooth flyaways on the top layer temporarily but it also flattens some of the volume you might have blown into it. As a blow-dryer, the Airwrap OK but nothing special. It does direct the flow to help smooth hair which some will like. But honestly, a good salon-quality dryer is better value.
If you have shorter, fine / thin hair: Most of the attachments aren't made for fine or thin hair. The 20mm curling barrel (long) is better than the others for shorter fine hair and you only get this in the customised set which costs $$. If you want to buy it separately, it is out of stock. You will likely need the small round brush which doesn't come in the set and is also out of stock. The result I get from the curling barrels is messy volume. No defined waves and not much consistency. Make sure you use the lowest heat setting you can on fine hair to minimise damage. Don't believe that the Dyson won't hurt your hair. As with any heat styling tool, damage will happen. Use heat protectant!
Pros:
- Nice case, well-presented - Works ok as a blowdry brush - Can adjust heat and speed
Cons:
- Very expensive for what it is - Customised set for fine / shorter hair doesn't have the best attachments for fine / shorter hair - Can't buy attachments you need and have to spend additional money on top of the base price - Attachments don't seem to lock in tight to the barrel. Feel a bit wobbly. Some people have reported them falling off. - Barrel is heavy and awkward - Curls / bounce don't stay for long - Can be damaging on your hair if used regularly - Need to use a lot of product - Curls aren't consistent and can be frizzy - Curling barrels will grab hair you don't want them to grab - Steep learning curve - Attachments get very hot
Summary: If you want defined, consistent curls - use a curling iron / wand. If you want a good hairdryer, get a salon-quality hair-dryer. If you want a blowdry brush, buy a cheaper one. If you have a lot of spare cash and want a tool that can dry, smooth and give some volume you might like this. If you have a particular hair type and use loads of products you might be thrilled with the blowout look. If you have fine, thin or shorter hair (eg a bob like me) this might not be for you.
