Dyson Airwrap i.d.
When I first unboxed the Dyson Airwrap i.d., I was pretty nervous. The online discourse is that the Airwraps have such a steep learning curve that it can take months to master the elusive styling tool, but I found none of that. I was doing lovely blowouts and taming my damaged hair’s frizz on the first use — and having an absolute blast while doing so. No pun intended.
Pros
- Not difficult to master
- Speedy but quiet (74dB)
- Quick styling
- Easy attachments
- Versatile
Cons
- Expensive
- App integration a little gimmicky
Dreame Pocket Neo
The Dreame Pocket Neo is one impressive hair tool that packs a heck of a blast. It is an extremely affordable option when air stylers are costing upwards of $500, and it's compact and lightweight, making it ideal for travel. I found it very easy to use and it was super easy to pick up the right curling technique. But it can be too powerful even on the lowest speed setting.
Pros
- Affordable
- Lightweight
- Compact
- No learning curve
- Dries hair fast
Cons
- Can cause hair to tangle
- Need to swap curling barrel attachments
