When I first got my Dyson Airwrap, I considered getting rid of it. I couldn’t get it to hold a curl on my straight hair at all, plus Airwrapping my damp hair made it look frizzy.
Most of all, I found it more time-consuming than using a regular curling iron. But I held out hope because the initial results after Airwrapping my hair looked like a blowout from a salon—better than anything my curling iron could do.
After some trial and error, plus learning tips from the Dyson team firsthand, I now swear by my Airwrap. It’s about using the right hair products and styling techniques to get longer-lasting results.
First things first, make sure to Airwrap your hair while it’s still slightly damp. This helps the curl hold by drying your hair in the correct shape. Let the Airwrap grab onto your hair from the tip and work its way up. Be sure to use the cool shot and then turn off the Airwrap completely before releasing your curl from it.
Airwrapping my hair still takes longer than curling it, but it’s totally worth it for special occasions. That’s because it looks professionally done, and now I know how to make it hold longer.
