Dyson Airwrap i.d.: app-guided curls, under 150°C

How the i.d. curl sequence works

Coanda airflow draws hair round the barrel automatically, with no clamp. With the i.d. curl sequence, one button press wraps and sets each section, so you are not counting seconds or twisting by hand. The tool remembers your wrap, style and cold shot times. Bluetooth links it to the MyDyson app, where you can build a hair profile, follow step by step routines and save preferred settings.

Intelligent heat control keeps temperatures under 150°C, according to the listing, and negative ions in the airflow are stated to reduce static on straight to wavy hair.

The six attachments

Dyson lists a conical barrel for tighter, defined curls closer to the root, and a 40 mm long barrel for loose, bouncy curls and waves. A large round volumising brush adds body at the root. An Anti-snag loop brush is described as a smoothing brush with less snagging and better scalp comfort, and the Coanda smoothing dryer dries and hides flyaways in one step, with up to 58% less frizz claimed against the original Airwrap attachments. A storage case is included.

Power, weight and settings

The Dyson digital motor V9 spins at up to 110,000 rpm, and the listing gives 1,300 W, 240 V, three speeds and three settings. Amazon shows a weight of 600 g. Dyson suggests starting with freshly washed hair, using the Fast dryer to get to about 80% dry, then switching to the styling attachments.

Where it sits in the Dyson range

The Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2X is the step up, with twice the air pressure and an air straightening attachment. The Dyson Airwrap Origin is the step down, with three attachments and no app. Against a ghd clamp tong such as the ghd Chronos Curve Classic Tong, the i.d. runs much cooler, but its curls are made with air and generally need more preparation time.
