Everything we knew about hair tools was revolutionised in 2018 thanks to Dyson’s innovation and the hair launch that changed the game, with the original Dyson Airwrap. Our haircare game was never the same and we’re better now for it.

Now, Dyson has launched the next generation in innovation with the Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer. But this one does so much more than simply style your hair to perfection!

In fact, not only does the new Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer dry your hair, but it also gives impressively bouncy curls, natural waves and a smooth finish, depending on which of its multiple attachments you use.

And unlike conventional curling tools, you don’t need to fuss about wrapping sections of your hair around the wand – the Dyson does that all by itself and now…you don’t even have to switch up the curl attachments for each side of your head. Gamechanger.

What’s Been Updated In The New Dyson Airwrap i.d?

Using jets of air, this clever tool is capable of picking up your hair and whizzing it around the wand for a voluminous, foolproof curl – all without the need for either extreme heat or professional-level dexterity.

​​Case in point: I’ve used the first generation Airwrap for the better part of two years, and I had the opportunity to test out the new Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer at the Sydney Dyson Demo Store to compare the difference.

I managed to achieve a full head of bouncy, brushed-out curls all by myself on the first go with the new conical barrel for curls that start from the root and easily switch airflow direction with the quick twist of the barrel at the top of the attachment. No more swapping out barrels for those of you who have used a previous Airwrap before!

I’m not even going to tell you how long it took me to master the conventional curling wand I have at home (and the amount of burns I have from it). This, on the other hand, is surprisingly even more easy to use than the first generations of the Airwrap – and my long hair never got tangled around the barrel.

Drying and styling your hair has literally never been easier with the new Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer. Did I mention the case even has a handy stand for your phone so you can watch the styling timer in real time? It’s the little things that make a huge difference.

How Is It Different From The Original?

The Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer is Dyson’s first connected multi-styler. It has all the styling capabilities of the original Dyson Airwrap styler but now comes with app-connected features and brand-new attachments, for even more styles.

You take a quiz about your hair, skill level and styling goals on the MyDyson app, and the machine intelligently creates the ideal curling sequence to wrap, style and set each curl with just the push of a button. Connecting to the app also offers you tailored styling with content that is relevant to your hair type, gives live product updates and troubleshooting notifications, and filter maintenance prompts.

What Attachments Does It Come With (And How Do You Use Them)?

That’s not all, The Dyson Airwrap i.d. includes Bluetooth-enabled technology which connects to the MyDyson app for you to create a unique hair profile. You simply enter your styling preferences and hair type and set your styling routine to deliver the perfect curl, every time.

At $849 a pop, the Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer doesn’t exactly come cheap – but if you calculate how much you’ll save on styling appointments (and consider just how bouncy your waves and curls will be…), you might just find it’s so worth it.
