ARTICLE ADThe Dyson Airwrap may be the most viral hair styling tool, with videos of the tool going viral years after launching. I was influenced by social media and asked for it as a Christmas gift two years ago. So, I am sure you want to know if the Dyson Airwrap was worth it. Simply put, two years later, it is still one of my most reached-for hair tools, having just used it last night. It is one of my favorite gifts, and it's on sale.

Before I discuss the many reasons it has become one of my favorite tools, I need to address the elephant in the room -- the price. This gadget is costly, retailing at $600. However, ahead of Black Friday, the Dyson Airwrap is 21% off on Amazon in select models, making it $475 when you select the coupon before checkout. This is a generous discount, one of the biggest we have seen on the tool that rarely goes on sale. Now, let's get into why the investment is worth it.

The Dyson Airwrap's biggest appeal is that it allows you to style your hair easily with minimal heat and damage. The tool leverages the company's airflow technology, known for its vacuums and fans, and packs it into a blow dryer. It uses Coanda airflow to style the hair, which leads to more control and less heat damage.
The Airwrap also has an intelligent heat sensor, preventing it from exceeding 302 degrees Fahrenheit, the optimum hair styling temperature. Three temperature settings, including a cold shot, help set the hairstyle so that it lasts longer.
In addition to the main body, the tool comes with five different attachments: Airwrap barrels, smoothing brushes, a Coanda smoothing dryer, and a round volumizing brush, all pictured in the photo at the top of the article.
The different attachments allow users to use the Airwrap for all their needs, including straightening, curling, and blowing out their hair. So, even though it may seem very expensive, you are replacing every other tool, including a curling iron, hair straightener, blow dryer, and waver. With the purchase also comes a storage case and a filter cleaning brush.

My favorite part is the ease of use. I have had curly hair my whole life, and I have always defaulted to getting a blowout for special events. However, for the life of me, despite the many times I tried, I could not figure out how to hold a round brush in one hand and a bulky blow dryer in the other.
Therefore, to style my hair, I usually relied on traditional hot tools, which are much more damaging, less feasible on an everyday basis, and take longer to accomplish the final result. Now, despite having long curly hair with a firm smoothing attachment, I can straighten my entire head in 10-15 minutes, which is not only a significant timesaver, but the results are as good as if I had it professionally straightened.
When I want to get the traditional blowout look, I use the Airwrap long barrels. Despite having a learning curve and looking like magic when in action, they are super easy to use once you get the hang of it. All in all, I have zero regrets about asking for it, and I have even influenced my best friends to invest the Dyson Airwrap because, in my experience, it has been life-changing.
