Dyson Airwrap

Anyone get this yet?

Have the hairdryer, love it and thinking of getting this for my Christmas gift.

Very tempted myself. Kind of waiting for some real-world reviews, though.

It only works on damp hair, which is a massive concern for me. I usually wash my hair at night and style in the morning.
That's just me though.

Same, but a spray bottle like barbers use will sort that out.

I must admit, I'm tempted!
My hair is a disaster, I have an awful lot of it but it's very fine and frizz/static-prone so it doesn't do well with regular blow drying (plus I'm too lazy to spend my time on something that yields such mediocre results!) so it could work wonders for me - I love a good curly blowdry, which is kind of the effect the Dyson promises, and the smoothing brush looks great too from watching a few YouTube videos.
I have had heated rotating brushes that kind of do the same thing but the lack of bristles which cause tangling and breakage, and the much lower risk of heat damage make the Dyson seem very attractive, despite the high price.
Right now i have a Boots voucher and a One4All I earned by doing online surveys so if I saved up a few more like that I could maybe buy it this time next year
I'd be slow to spend 'real' money on it just in case it ends up in the bottom of a drawer with all my other fails after a few uses!!

For €400 it would want to get me up and dressed in the morning and wash my hair for me. That said, anyone I’ve seen use it has always had the most beautiful bouncy curls. I’d buy it if it was half price.

Tried it in Arnotts today. It was unreal!!! Loved it. Beautiful curly blow dry look in no time.

It's totally different to a normal curling tongs as you really just hold the hair to the wand and it wraps itself. I have the thickest hair so the lady said smooth and calming one would work for me. Am seriously tempted but would be so annoyed with myself if I spent 450 and didn't get 10 years of beautiful hair everyday out of it...

Any real world reviews and feedback for thick, kink/wave prone hair that usually needs to be dried and ghd'd to be presentable??! :pac:

I got it about 5 weeks ago. I have always been skeptical of Dyson products.

I love, love, love it. I've mid length hair passed my shoulder and a lot of it. It's frizzy and kinky. My hair holds a style but it's a bit lion King like if I don't give it a lot of time and attention when drying.

I can now dry my hair straight (not poker) from damp with the brush in 10min. That's a game changer. It's very presentable and sleek and I'm fussy. Before it would have taken about 30min and I would probably have gone over it with my ghd.

I can curl it in 30min. It normally takes me 30-40min to curl my hair from dry so curling it from wet in 30min is great for me. I find my hair is much softer since using it.

For me it's worth every penny, I can curl my hair today and will have some form of curls for 3 days

You also have 30 days to try it and if you are not 100% happy you get your money back.

There are 3 different versions and I figure if I’m going to spend this much money I may as well pay the few quid more and get the one with all the tools (Airwrap Complete). The other 2 have different tools included in each.

My problem now is getting my hands on it... boooooo
If anyone knows anywhere selling the Complete version Id appreciate the heads up....

I have had my name on their waiting list for nearly 2 months for the complete kit and no sign of it coming in. I gave up and got the smooth and control. I personally think they won't stock the complete anymore because they will get more money from selling the parts separately.

https://www.currys.ie/ieen/home-appliances/health-beauty/hair-stylers/dyson-airwrap-complete-hair-styler-nickel-fuchsia-10187264-pdt.html It’s available in curry’s. Also curry’s offer 10% back as part of Bank of Ireland/Ulsterbank/AIB rewards

Damn. Never thought of curry's. Ah well.

On the 10% back, it's only for online orders that are paid for online, these have to be delivered. The dyson isn't available for home delivery so you can only click and collect which involves paying in store.

Can u not pay online and collect? 10% off would almost render it a bargain haha

Nope. To collect it you pay in store. It would be a great saving if the 10% did apply, until its available for home delivery it won't work.

Buzzfeed reviewed it and their verdict was: worth every penny, buy now.

I'm going to go halves with my sister. We did the same thing with the dryer, which we'll probably flog once we get this.

Hi, I got it before Christmas as well. I've used it twice, yesterday after washing, took me a while to get the hang of it. I have long thick hair, but it holds curls really well, well it does when i go to the hairdressers, yesterday looked fab but like the previous poster the curls dropped really quickly but it looked like a nice blow dry.

Today i sprayed my hair, now it was pretty dry but the curl is holding much better. Like that i'm going to get some mousse, blow-dry spray and hairspray to see if that helps it hold.

There's definitely a knack to it and i am useless at doing my hair, but for day 2 i'm happy, going keep using it most days until I get it right.

Keep the reviews coming in
I am tempted but hefty price tag is putting me off
Have frizzy kinky hair

Just wondering if the christmas purchasers have any further opinions on the airwrap after using for a few weeks?

Those that have owned the dyson hairdryer, how does it compare to the smaller dryer attachment that comes with the airwrap?

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I’m wondering how those who bought this are finding it 18 months later?

I was always tempted by it and I’m seriously thinking about buying it now but I’d like to hear how people are getting on with it after a period of time.

I already have a ghd straightener which I use a lot and a babyliss curl secret which I loved at the start but haven’t used in nearly 2 years now and I’m afraid this would be the same.

I still love it. I couldn't be with out it now. I changed my hair style so it's a lob and I only straighten it but I've it dried and styled in ten min from wet. I've thick hair so to me it's a god sent I will try the curl with shorter hair, I just don't have the time at the min. I recommend it to everyone.

Thanks for this. My hair is just above my shoulders at the moment and I’d love to be able to dry it straight but with volume. Like you Said curls just take time And I probably wouldn’t use it much for that but if I can get good volume Easily it would be worth it to me.

I have a big birthday this year and we were supposed to be going on a blow out holiday in Asia for it - once I get the deposit back from that cancellation, I think this will be my birthday present to myself.

I’d like to try it first before buying
Is there any demo places ?

BT and possibly Currys have stands where you can try.
