How to Curl Your Hair Using The Dyson Airwrap

The Dyson Airwrap is a revolutionary hair styling tool which is unlike anything else out there. Whether you want to straighten, curl, wave, or dry your locks, the unique Airwrap uses an innovative V9 motor and aerodynamic design to style hair without causing heat damage. However, the Airwrap is pricier than your average hair electrical and can be a little daunting at first so if you’re still deciding whether it’s worth the plunge or just want to know how to use it, discover all our top tips for the Dyson Airwrap.

How to Use the Dyson Airwrap?

Firstly, always start by drying your hair so it’s 80% dry. You can either use the pre-styling drying attachment which comes with the Airwrap, or alternatively, use the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer to transform your hair from wet to damp.

To curl your hair using the Dyson Airwrap, use either the 30mm curling barrel attachments for tighter curls or the 40mm attachments for a looser wave. Hold the hair tool vertically and introduce the ends of a small section of hair, about 5cm in width, to the barrel allowing the air from the Aiwrap to take the hair and curl it around the barrel. Move the curling barrel towards the root of your hair and then hold for between 5 and 10 seconds. Lock the look in place with the cool shot button and then slide down the barrel to release the curl.

How to Straighten Hair with the Dyson Aiwrap

If you want to create a smooth and sleek hairstyle using the Dyson Hairwrap, there are three attachments available. The firm smoothing brush is best for thick, unruly, frizz-prone hair, the soft smoothing brush is a gentler alternative best for sensitive scalps, and the round volumising brush adds body and lift to fine and thin hair.

Start by using the pre-styling drying attachment until hair is 80% dry then attach your styling and smoothing brush of choice. Take a small section of your hair and place the styling to the root then brush downwards as you would with a normal brush, allowing the Airwrap to dry and style your hair. The motored device will work to smooth flyaways and frizz, straighten locks, and add volume and body.
