Critic Turned Advocate: Dyson Airwrap Skepticism Dispelled by Latest Model

The Dyson Airwrap Coanda 2x, the latest addition to Dyson's hair styling arsenal, is making waves in the beauty industry. With its enhanced power and advanced Coanda technology, this luxury hair tool is promising to revolutionise the way we style our hair.

Priced at $700, the Coanda 2x may seem steep to some. However, if you're already spending money on regular salon visits, this investment could potentially pay for itself over time.

The Coanda 2x is twice as powerful as its predecessor, offering stronger airflow for improved drying and styling efficiency. This upgrade means you might not need a separate hairdryer for rough drying before styling.

The Coanda 2x comes with a sleek leather presentation case that neatly stores everything in one spot, out of sight. The device itself is available in two chic colours: ceramic pink and rose gold, and jasper plum.

One of the key features of the Coanda 2x is the Coanda Effect, an aerodynamic phenomenon that allows fast-moving air to wrap hair around the barrel without extreme heat. This results in gentle styling that reduces damage to your hair.

The Coanda 2x "sucked" up a section of hair around the barrel and curled it in seconds. All attachments connect into the main body of the Airwrap tool with a flick of a switch, making it easy to switch between styling options.

The Coanda 2x is the first luxury hair tool that the reviewer finds actually delivers on its promises. Despite being a curly-haired individual, the reviewer received the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda Wavy + Straight 2x for testing. In the Curly + Coily package, Dyson swaps the straightener with a tension comb and adds a diffuser.

For curly and coily hair, the device can create defined curls or volume without damaging fragile texture. However, effectiveness depends on hair length and the attachment used. Users with longer or very thick coily hair may need the longer barrels (not included by default in the 2x model) for better curl formation and to avoid hair hanging off the barrel.

Some reviews suggest slightly pre-drying hair before using the Airwrap for straightening or styling on curly/coily hair to get the best results.

The Coanda 2x is a game-changer for those who have long felt excluded from the world of "effortless" styling tools. The round volumizing brush gave the reviewer a bounce and shape they've never been able to achieve on their own.

The Coanda 2x also connects to an app that allows customization of styling sessions. The reviewer found that the straightener in the Straight + Wavy unit gave more of a loose, stretched wave than pin-straight results. The Coanda 2x was able to refresh the reviewer's curls on second-day hair with a spritz of water and the smoothing dryer, without resetting them or reaching scorching heat levels.

In summary, the Dyson Airwrap Coanda 2x improves power and styling precision, with shorter barrels included, making it a more versatile but slightly less optimal option out-of-the-box for those with longer curly/coily hair unless additional barrels are purchased. It styles curly and coily hair gently using airflow-driven wrapping, but hair length and prep can affect outcomes.
