One of the most successful and innovative styling tools in history, the Dyson Airwrap has taken over social media (there’s a whole side of TikTok dedicated to the machine) and created a loyal, dedicated following of devotees. This month, it gets an upgrade. 

Announced today, the Dyson Airwrap has been “radically” redesigned, with a whole new set of re-engineered attachments available to buy now.

Quite a bit, according to information coming out of Dyson HQ. 

First up, the Coanda smoothing dryer has had a rethink. Used for taming flyaways (it attracts, lifts and pushes back the hair), it can now also transform into a powerful dryer with one switch.

There are also new and improved Airwrap barrels (in a range of widths) that can switch direction depending on the style of curl or wave you want. Previously the barrels needed to be changed mid-styling to create clockwise and anticlockwise shapes. Now, one barrel combines the role of two and can be changed by pressing a switch.  

Finally, new firm and soft brushes work to straighten hair more efficiently, increasing the control you have during styling. 

“Most styling tools ignore that hair types are very different – what attachment may work for one, could be detrimental to another,” says Dyson founder James Dyson about the new launch. 

“The advancements in the Dyson AirwrapTM multi-styler build on the success of its predecessor, through relentless research, user trials and advancements in computational fluid dynamics. The result: direction change barrels for faster and easier curling, re-engineered brush attachments for more precise shaping, and an entirely new, dual-purpose Coanda smoothing dryer.

“Our ability to control airflow delivers enhanced Coanda performance to curl, shape and hide flyaways – without extreme heat.”

It depends on what you’re buying. An entirely new device will cost £479.99 – which includes the full set of re-engineered attachments. 

If you’re upgrading your existing Airwrap, a full set of new attachments will cost £149.99. 

The new Dyson Airwrap is available to buy from dyson.co.uk.
