At HUM Nutrition, we believe in living your most beautiful life, inside and out. To help, we sometimes try products and trends that prioritize looking and feeling your best: like the Dyson Airwrap<\/a>. It promises shiny hairstyles that last all day long (without the dreaded heat damage). So, is the Dyson Airwrap *really* worth $600? I bought one and tested out its curling functions (which claim to dry and curl your hair at the same time\u2014and hold all day long). Here\u2019s what I found out, and what professional hairstylists have to say about it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

As someone who was born with lots of fine, chronically-straight strands, I always coveted my pals\u2019 locks that were voluminous, curly, or could hold texture<\/a> in any way. (They, of course, wished they had my hair\u2014we all want what we don\u2019t have, right?)<\/p>\n\n\n

Since I was in junior high, I\u2019ve made countless attempts to find a way to create the curls I always wanted. Hot rollers. Wands. Wave crimpers. Classic curling irons. Dousing my mane in hairspray. Growing out my hair<\/a> so I\u2019d have more to work with. Then, suffering from heat-damaged hair<\/a> and having to chop it all off to restore its overall health.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

I could occasionally<\/em> get a curl to cooperate for an hour or two, but could never get the look I truly wanted\u2014let alone get it to stay all day. But at my latest haircut, my stylist introduced me to the Dyson Airwrap\u2014a tool I\u2019d seen on Instagram but didn\u2019t believe the hype on\u2014and suggested that I give it a try while I was in her chair. The machine comes with a few different attachments, and it claims to quickly dry and style your hair with low heat, saving you time and heat damage. The best part? Users on social media<\/a> say that the curls last all day long\u2014even on pin-straight hair like mine.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cI know using hot tools on bob-length hair can be a challenge,\u201d says my personal \u2018do designer, Carly Condon<\/a>, a hairstylist at Elevencherry salon<\/a> in Des Moines, Iowa. \u201cAfter using it myself for six months, I thought this could be an easy and fun way for you to achieve more versatility with your personal style.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

After seeing what we could do with the tool that day, I hopped home and headed to Dyson\u2019s site to scout out more details about the invention. Turns out, they were just a couple of weeks away from releasing their 2.0 model, which was reportedly redesigned with attachments that allowed for quicker and easier styling. I signed up for the notification list, promptly placed my order when I received the email, and anxiously awaited the package. Could this be my magic bullet to the marvelous, red carpet<\/a>-ready hair I dreamed about? (That is, without having to pay $50 each time I wanted to make it a reality? Sorry, Carly!)<\/p>\n\n\n

What is the Dyson Airwrap?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Somewhat like a Swiss Army Knife of the hair world, the Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler Complete<\/a> ($599.99) debuted in 2018 and has gone on to develop a cult-like following on TikTok and other social media sites.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

The engineers at Dyson tapped into the same motor and technology they use in their vacuums, just with a slight redesign. Using what they call the \u201cCoanda effect,\u201d the high-speed air in the wand\u2019s cylinder generates a vortex that flows through slots in the Airwrap barrel. Instead of using clamps or twirling by hand to get your hair into a spiral, this Coanda system attracts strands to the Airwrap\u2019s surface and basically does all the styling for you(once you get the hang of it, of course).<\/p>\n\n\n

The complete Dyson Airwrap set comes with instructions and beautifully-designed attachments for the base wand, which include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
