Dyson's Airwrap shook up the hair styling market when it launched in 2016, because it offered a way to create curls that didn't rely on extreme heat. Despite a slightly painful price tag, it became hugely popular and is widely considered to be one of the best hair styler tools around. In 2024, Dyson added an upgraded version: the Airwrap i.d. If you've spotted this on sale and are wondering about the difference, I'm here to compare the Dyson Airwrap to the Airwrap i.d. for you.
The styler tool itself is almost identical on the Airwrap and the Airwrap i.d. The major difference is that the latter has an i.d.curl switch on the barrel. Flip this, and the styler will kick off a wrapping, styling and cold shot cycle, with timings based on your specific hair type. This routine is created using a companion app, connected via Bluetooth. If you're typically using your Airwrap to create curls, it looks like a worthwhile upgrade, taking some of the fuss out and streamlining the process.
