How to Get Salon-Quality Results With the Dyson Airwrap®

The Dyson Airwrap® isn’t just a trendy gadget — it’s a powerful, all-in-one styling tool designed to give you professional-level results without the salon visit. Whether you're renting it for a vacation, event, or self-care weekend, you can achieve flawless styles with ease — as long as you know how to use it right.

Here’s how to get the most out of your rental and unlock the full potential of the Dyson Airwrap®.


1. Start With Damp, Prepped Hair

Unlike traditional tools, the Airwrap® works best on damp hair. Use a towel to dry your hair until it's about 80% dry, then apply:

  • A heat protectant to shield your strands
  • A volumizer or smoothing cream, depending on your goal

Use the pre-styling dryer attachment to finish prepping and evenly dry your roots.


2. Pick the Right Attachment

The Dyson Airwrap® comes with multiple attachments designed for different hair types and styles:

  • Firm Smoothing Brush: For straightening thick or frizzy hair
  • Soft Smoothing Brush: Ideal for fine or soft hair
  • Round Volumizing Brush: Adds lift and bounce
  • Curling Barrels (30mm & 40mm): For loose waves or defined curls
  • Pre-Styling Dryer: To rough dry before styling

Tip: Use the direction arrows on the curling barrels to choose whether your curls go toward or away from your face.


3. Master the Technique

The Dyson Airwrap® uses a unique Coanda effect that pulls your hair around the barrel using air, not clamps or extreme heat. To make the most of it:

  1. Let the tool grab the end of a small section of hair
  2. Hold the section wrapped for 10–15 seconds
  3. Use the cool shot button to set the style for another 5 seconds
  4. Gently release and let the curl fall

Repeat until your whole head is styled.


4. Add the Finishing Touches

Once you’ve finished styling, lock in your look with the right products:

  • Use a texturizing spray for hold and volume
  • Smooth a few drops of hair oil or serum through your ends
  • Gently shake out the curls or brush through for a softer finish
  • Finish with light-hold hairspray for lasting glam

5. Customize Based on Hair Type

Make sure you're using the attachments and techniques that suit your hair:

  • Fine hair: Less heat and smaller sections work best
  • Thick hair: Start with smoothing brush, then curl
  • Natural hair: Blow out first for best results with curlers
  • Short hair: Use the round brush to create lift and shape

6. Style With Purpose

Whether you’re heading to a wedding, creating content, or simply upgrading your everyday look — the Dyson Airwrap® helps you look put-together fast. You can create bouncy curls, soft waves, or sleek blowouts in minutes.

Hence, you don’t need to be a pro stylist to get salon-level results with the Dyson Airwrap®. With the right prep, attachment, and technique, flawless hair is only a few steps away — and renting it gives you access to luxury styling without the price tag. So prep, style, slay, and enjoy the beauty of effortless glam.
