The styling tool comes with multiple attachments which promise to offer salon-like results at home. We used the Dyson Airwrap i.d.

Design

With Dyson Airwarp i.d. multi-styler and dryer the company has elevated its already iconic styling tool, as the device now comes with a more practical and ergonomic design. The new Airwrap features the company’s signature sleek contours and metallic finishes and it comes in premium colour options Vinca Blue /Topaz Orange and Ceramic Patina/Topaz Orange. We got the Vinca Blue variant which is absolutely stunning and can also be a great gifting option this Valentine’s Day.
Just like its predecessor, the built quality is robust and it is made using scratch-resistant materials. Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer comes with a solid build quality and ergonomic design. The handle is lightweight yet sturdy and is very well balanced when attachment is connected to it. The lightweight design of the styling tool reduces wrist strain making the process easy. The company has also refined the control interface on the Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer with clearly makers buttons for airflow speed, heat levels and a cool shot making it intuitive for both new buyers and experienced users.
Apart from a refined design, the Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer also comes with smart integration. The styling tool now comes with Bluetooth connectivity which links the device to the MyDyson app. The app connectivity enables users to create a personalised hair profile. You can answer some basic questions such as Hair type, length and styling preferences and the Airwrap will automatically adjust its heat and airflow settings to suit individual needs. This transforms the tool into a “smart stylist” that adapts to the user rather than requiring manual adjustments.
Along with this, design of the Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer also feature the cylindrical body and vent system which are made to optimise the Coanda effect which works on the powerful airflow technology which could be achieved if air was taken into a motor and accelerated over an annular aperture. This allows the Airwrap to style hair by wrapping it around the barrel without relying on extreme heat, reducing the risk of damage while still delivering salon-quality results.
The company is also giving a storage case with the Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer in which you can easily store all your attachments and also prevent them from getting damaged. The case is made of cushioned fabric and has a removable lid.
Attachments and the MyDyson app
Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer comes with a well thought set of attachments, each designed for a distinct purpose. The styling tool includes a new multidirectional conical barrel. Unlike the traditional cylindrical barrels, the tapered design of the attachment enable you to style hair closer to the root. It also helps in creating tighter curls or waves. The attachment proves to be very useful for those who want volume without giving up on the shape of their curls.
Next is the smoothing brushes which are made to control frizz and straighten the hair. The brushes work by directing airflow along with the hair shaft, producing a sleek finish without the flatness that often comes with straighteners. These brushes are ideal for everyday styling when you want a polished look with minimal effort. The round volumizing brush is perfect for adding lift and body, especially to fine or limp hair. It mimics the effect of a salon blowout, creating volume at the roots while shaping the ends. The attachment comes to the rescue when you want to achieve fuller styles without spending hours with a traditional round brush and dryer combo.
The flyway attachment is another interesting attachment which helps in smoothening down stray hairs and baby hairs. Lastly, the Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer also comes with the dryer attachment which offer fast hair drying experience. All these attachments together make for a complete styling experience.
Another important addition to the Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer is the app support. The styling tool comes with the MyDyson app support which helps in transforming the device into a connected and personalised styling tool. You can connect the Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer with the app via Bluetooth. The MyDyson app is available on both Android and iOS operating systems. The app then syncs with the Airwrap to automatically adjust airflow, heat, and timing, ensuring that the tool delivers optimal results tailored to each individual. This smart support reduces the trial-and-error often associated with styling, making the process more intuitive and efficient. Beyond personalization, the app also provides tutorials, styling tips, and maintenance reminders.
Performance
Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer will surely impress you with its performance. Unlike traditional dryers and curlers that rely on extreme heat, the Airwrap constantly monitors temperature to prevent damage, ensuring hair remains healthier over time. During our testing, the dryer attachment worked really well and helped in reducing the frizz while maintaining the natural shine. On the other hand, for curling and waving, the new multidirectional conical barrel managed to produce some consistent and long-lasting cures which also hold their shape for a longer period of time. The Coanda effect which is Dyson’s signature airflow technology easily wraps around the barrel and it also eliminates the need for clamps or excessive heat.
On the other hand, in the straightening mode, the smoothing brushes managed to create a sleek and polished look and the flyaway attachment adds a professional touch, hiding stray hairs and enhancing shine, making it ideal for finishing a style before heading out.
