I have been a long-time user of Dyson Airwrap, and I've been using mine daily for the past 4 years. The old Airwrap I bought in 2019, however, died on me last week. The motor was completely fried! Instead of going through the lengthy repair process covered by the warranty, I got a new Airwrap as a Christmas gift.
The new Airwrap has a few notable upgrades, so please read on.
When I bought my first Airwrap, it was only available in this Nickel/Fuchsia finish. Although it was sleek and unmistakenly Dyson, it now looks a bit outdated. The Airwrap comes in so many colorful finishes!
I saw this limited-edition color in Blue and Blush, and I fell in love with the color combination.
How pretty!
But since I was going to use it for years, I decided to play it safe and go with a more subtle finish.
This is in Prussian Blue and Rich Copper.
Nowadays, most Airwraps and Supersonic Hair Dryers come in the presentation case.
Unboxing time!
Here are some specs for the Airwrap.
I bought the Airwrap Complete Long, which contains attachments for longer hair. If you purchase the Airwrap directly from Dyson, you can customize and build your Airwrap set depending on your hair length and styling needs.
Compared to the 1st generation of Airwrap, the new Airwrap has fewer attachments. They are re-engineered for faster and easier styling. After using the new Airwrap for a few days, I agree with that statement. I'll explain more below.
But first, isn't this color so gorgeous?
The rich midnight blue contrasts with the shimmery copper color, creating a dramatic ambiance!
One of the most notable upgrades to the Airwrap attachments is these curling barrels.
Instead of using a separate barrel for each side, you can now use one barrel to curl hair in both directions.
You can simply twist the tip of the barrel to change the direction. It saves so much time, and it is so much less cumbersome to switch between the attachments. I've gotten so used to using 2 barrels, but curling hair in both directions only using one barrel is a game changer.
Another big difference is the Coanda Smoothing Dryer Attachment. Before, the dryer attachment was a boring, old attachment without any special features. I always thought the dryer attachment was underperforming, especially compared to the Supersonic hair dryer. The new Coanda Smoothing Dryer is a 2-in-1 attachment that dries damp hair and smooths finished styles.
It delivers targeted airflow, and it keeps my flyaways in check for a clean and smooth style.
Two jets of air work simultaneously on dry and straight hair to smooth and perfect your end style. Dyson claims that it reduces frizz and flyaways by 58%.
The volumizing brush attachment remains the same.
The Firm Smoothing Brush and Soft Smoothing Brush are also included in the Airwrap set.
I have been using both brush attachments for creating side volumes and smoothing out my hair.
I love using the Soft Smoothing Brush for creating natural side volumes. It is intended to be used for finer hair, and it's very gentle and doesn't irritate my scalp.
The bristles move sideways for more controlled and targeted styling.
The Firm Smoothing Brush is more suited for coarser hair; however, I use it lightly to smooth out whenever I see flyaways.
Other than the attachments, there aren't significant upgrades or changes to the Airwrap. The main Airwrap unit retains the key functions - the 3 airflow speeds, the cold shot button, and the 3 temperature settings all remain the same. I would definitely recommend the new Airwrap if you're considering purchasing an intelligent and useful hair styling tool. And if you already own an older version of Airwrap, I recommend upgrading only if your budget allows it and if you feel like upgrading. It's like upgrading to a new iPhone. It's better and prettier, for sure. And I'm happy with the new Airwrap because my old was breaking down.
One last thing - the Airwrap comes with this filter cleaning brush. Make sure to keep it and clean the filter regularly. When the filter is clogged or dirty, it significantly reduces the performance of the unit and could potentially damage the motor.
