How Dyson’s New Airwrap i.d. Multi-Styler Compares to the Original

I rarely assign the term “game-changer” to beauty products, but the Dyson Airwrap absolutely deserves the title. Prior to trying the famous hair tool, I’d been woefully inept with styling my 20-inch hair extensions, which typically looked scraggly—unless I’d shelled out more than $40 for a professional blowout that morning. 

The Dyson Airwrap, a multi-functional styling tool, completely nixed the need for professional blowouts. The Origin model (the second rendition of the tool) did, admittedly, present a slight learning curve, however; plus, it was hardly the speediest means of styling. That all changed, though, when Dyson released its latest, significantly improved model, the Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-Styler. The gadget boasts all of the benefits of the previous models—plus ultra-rapid dry-time, a new straightening attachment, and a connected app that allows it to adapt to your hair’s specific needs. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to use.

Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-Styler and Dryer

The Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-styler is an upgraded version of the original Dyson Airwrap device. The styling tool functions as a hair dryer, curler, straightener, and strand-smoothing tool thanks to its various attachments, each of which can be easily interchanged depending on the look you’re trying to achieve. The device comes with seven attachments, including two curling barrels, a round brush, and an all-new straightening head.

Similar to a traditional hair straightener, the straightening attachment sandwiches hair between two plates, and smooths strands simply by gliding the device through the hair. Honestly, it smooths my frizzy strands so well, I’m considering ditching my traditional hair straighteners entirely—especially considering the Dyson’s relative gentleness compared to ultra-hot traditional styling tools. The curling attachments are upgraded, too; hair wraps much more easily onto the barrels, and the smart technology automatically starts and stops airflow for perfect, effortless curls every time. 

In addition to improved attachments, the new Dyson Airwrap also boasts significantly speedier drying time thanks to its more powerful airflow—which, per the brand, is twice as intense, and therefore dries hair twice as quickly as its predecessor. I was floored by the rapidity with which my sopping strands dried sleek and shiny in mere minutes.

Finally, the new tool boasts Bluetooth-enabled features, including a corresponding app that customizes the drying experience to your hair’s specific needs. Moreover, the device has an automatic sensor feature, which—after inputting your hair’s texture and thickness into the app—automatically adjusts the airflow and time. Plus, the app features helpful tutorials and practice sessions for Airwrap newcomers.
