Why the Dyson Airwrap?

Before we dive into the details, let's talk about why the Dyson Airwrap Styler is worth the investment. This hair tool has gained a lot of popularity for a reason - it's one of the best hair dryers on the market.

Plus, it uses innovative technology to protect your hair from heat damage, leaving you with sleek and long-lasting locks.

Tools and Requirements

Now, before we get into how to use the Dyson Airwrap Styler, let's make sure you have everything you need:

- Dyson Airwrap Styler
- Styling product to protect your hair
- Shoulder-length hair (or longer)

How to Use the Dyson Airwrap Styler

Now that we have everything we need, let's dive into the step-by-step guide on how to use the Dyson Airwrap Styler. Remember, these tips are based on my personal experience with thick and frizzy hair, so they may not work for everyone. Adjust them based on your own hair type and preferences.

Step 1: Part-Dry Your Hair

Start by towel-drying your hair until it's almost dry. You want it to have just a hint of moisture left. If you have frizzy hair like me, using the Coanda smoothing dryer or the firm smoothing brush to prep your hair before using the curling barrels is a good idea. This will help prevent frizz and keep your hair glossy.

Step 2: Section Your Hair

Split your hair into sections. Depending on the thickness of your hair, you can split it into layers or into a back section and a section on each side. This will make it easier to work with and ensure that you don't miss any areas.

Step 3: Choose Your Barrel

The Dyson Airwrap Styler comes with different attachments, including barrels of different sizes. Choose the barrel that suits your desired curl type. The 1.6-inch barrel is great for loose waves, while the 1.2-inch barrel is better for tighter curls or more volume. Attach the barrel to the styler, making sure the airflow direction is blowing away from your face.

Step 4: Start Styling

Now it's time to start styling! Start with a medium temperature and airflow setting, and adjust as needed. Take a small section of hair and hold it up to the barrel. Move the styler towards and away from your head to create tension. Once the styler is at the root, hold it in place for about 10 seconds to secure your curl.

Step 5: Lock in the Curl

To lock in the curl, push the power button upwards to activate the Cold Shot feature. This will cool down the hair and set the curl in place. Hold it until your hair feels cold to the touch and completely dry.

Step 6: Release the Curl

Turn off the dryer and gently release the curl from the barrel. Be careful not to unravel it too quickly, as this can cause the curl to lose its shape. Leave the curl to cool and set while you move on to the next section.

Step 7: Repeat and Rake

Repeat the previous steps with the rest of your hair, working in sections until you've completed your entire head. Once your entire head has completely cooled, rake out your curls with your fingers to create a more natural look. And voila! You're done!

FAQs

How does the Dyson Airwrap Styler work?

The Dyson Airwrap Styler uses a combination of airflow and the Coanda effect to style your hair. It has different attachments, such as barrels and brushes, that create airflow to wrap and shape your hair. The Coanda effect helps to smooth out frizz and flyaways, leaving you with a sleek and polished look.

Should you use the Airwrap on dry or wet hair?

The ideal hair condition for using the Dyson Airwrap Styler is when your hair is almost dry. Fully wet hair can be too heavy to wrap around the barrel easily. Using the Coanda drying attachment or spritzing a little water through your hair if it's already dry can help give your hair the right amount of moisture to work with.

Final Thoughts

Using the Dyson Airwrap Styler may take some practice, but once you get the hang of it, it can be a game-changer for your hair routine. Remember to use the right products to protect your hair, clean the filter regularly, and have fun experimenting with different styles. So go ahead, unleash your inner hairstylist, and enjoy your beautifully styled locks!
