Ever since Dyson launched the original Supersonic hair dryer in 2016, our attention has turned to the promise of sleek strands, bouncy blowouts and more.
In 2018, the brand introduced the Airwrap, sending us further into a frenzy of high-tech hair tools. Then came the Corrale in 2020. The past year has seen the addition of the wet-to-straight technology that powers the Airstrait, the unveiling of the Supersonic Nural and its scalp-care settings and a range of styling products, including a pre-style cream and post-style serum. And now, we also have the Airwrap i.d. to consider.
Aside from picking which colour combo (we’re big fans of the new Strawberry Bronze/Blush Pink release) will look best in your bathroom, you might be wondering which tool is right for your hair. The answer generally lies in the outcome you hope to achieve and your hair type.
Here, we break down some of the top Dyson hair tools and why they’re worth the investment.
The Best Dyson Hair Tools To Shop In 2024
Airstrait
$749 at Dyson
Best for: Sleek strands
If you want to take your hair from wet to straight with no heat damage, the Airstrait is the tool for you. Dyson’s newest recruit for sleek styling uses air, rather than hot plates to dry and straighten the hair. Not only is this better for the health of your hair, the brand claims it takes 25% less time than standard hair dryer/hair straightener styling routines. That means more sleep ins and less rushing out the door in a stress.
Key features:
- Two-in-one drying and straightening with air
- Intuitive airflow and auto pause features
- Wet and dry modes with three heat and three speed settings
- Weighs less than 1kg
- 1.98m cord length
Airwrap i.d. Multi-styler And Dryer
$849 at Dyson
Best for: Curated curls
The Airwrap has become synonymous with well-styled hair. And the new Airwrap ID takes things to another level. At face value, this tool holds the same power as the original multistyler. However, it has the added ability to recommend and automate a personalised curling routine according to your hair and styling preferences via the My Dyson app.
Key features:
- Six styling attachments
- Three heat and three speed settings
- 2.675m cord length
- Bluetooth connection for My Dyson app
- Gift set comes with detangling comb and storage case
Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer
$749 at Dyson
Best for: Bouncy blowouts
Smart is a word that instantly springs to mind when you think about Dyson hair tools. The Supersonic Nural hair dryer takes that and runs with it. This device looks pretty similar to the classic Supersonic. But the inner workings are where things start to differ. Engineered heat settings allow the tool to auto-adapt while you’re styling, adjusting the temperature depending on how close you are to the hair in order to help protect your scalp health. There’s also a new wave and curl diffuser attachment that homes in on styling for wavy and curly hair types.
Key features:
- Five styling attachments
- Auto-adapt heat settings for scalp health
- Pause detect
- Attachment learning for heat settings
Chitosan Post-Style Serum
$89 at Dyson
Best for: All hair types
This lightweight serum is the perfect solution if you want to avoid that “crunch” some other products give. The key ingredient – chitosan – is derived from oyster mushrooms and delivers flexible hold for hair strands. This serum is also formulated with nourishing argan, grapeseed and castor seed oils. Plus, it’s refillable.
Key features:
- Refillable container
- Lightweight formula delivers flexible hold
- Offers hydration and shine
Should I Buy A Dyson Airwrap?
The answer to this question comes down to the look you want to achieve. If you’re after bouncy curls or brushed-out waves that don’t skimp on volume, the answer is probably yes. The Airwrap has six attachments, which makes drying, curling, shaping and smoothing your hair possible with the one tool.
What Are The Benefits Of A Dyson Hair Dryer?
The heat technology used by Dyson is designed to protect hair, rather than putting it under additional stress during styling. Dyson’s hair dryers are also designed to be lightweight and make it easier to manoeuvre during use. They also come with additional attachments to help with styling your hair, not just drying it.
