The airwrap origin is Dyson’s cheapest hair styler – but is it worth £400?

The Dyson airwrap origin pares things back to a smaller selection of styling attachments, compared with its more-expensive stylers - (Lucy Partington/The Independent)

When Dyson launched the original airwrap back in 2018, it quickly became one of the most talked-about tools on the market. Its clever ability to dry and style hair from damp using airflow rather than extreme heat felt genuinely innovative at the time – and it didn’t take long before other brands started following suit.

It soon gained cult status, and since its launch, Dyson has refreshed the airwrap several times, with the styling line-up now including the airwrap origin, airwrap i.d. and the newer co-anda 2X. The origin sits as the most streamlined version of the tool, designed to offer the same core airflow styling technology in a more affordable, simpler attachment bundle.
