I bought it a few weeks ago, but this is a lifesaver I used to straight my hair daily with a normal tool but my hair was really dry, but when I started to use the Dyson Airstrait it literally make me look and felt like I had a brand new hair.
I received the Airstrait as a birthday present. I am someone with curly/wavy hair and a lot of frizz. I love this product! My daughter has coily hair. I love that this product uses less heat and doesn’t damage her beautiful curls.
The Dyson Airstrait is a game-changer for those who love sleek, straight hair but want to avoid the damage caused by traditional hot plates. Instead of using heated ceramic plates, it straightens hair using high-pressure air, making it a unique and innovative tool in the haircare market.
Pros:
✅ Less Heat Damage – Since it uses controlled air rather than direct heat, it reduces the risk of heat-related damage and breakage. ✅ Fast Drying & Styling – It dries and straightens damp hair simultaneously, saving time in your routine. ✅ No Burning Smell – Unlike traditional flat irons, there’s no risk of singeing or burning hair. ✅ Sleek, Natural Finish – The results are smooth and natural-looking, without excessive flatness.
Cons:
❌ Expensive – Like most Dyson products, the Airstrait comes with a premium price tag. ❌ Not for All Hair Types – Works best on fine to medium hair; for very curly or coarse hair, it may not provide the same sleekness as a traditional flat iron. ❌ Learning Curve – Takes some getting used to, especially if you’re used to regular flat irons or blow-dry brushes.
Final Verdict
If you’re looking for a high-tech, healthier alternative to traditional straighteners and don’t mind the price, the Dyson Airstrait is a worthy investment. However, if you have very thick or curly hair, you may still need a flat iron for that ultra-sleek look.
Be ready to have your grip strength tested! Your hands will be tired by the time you’re done! This is a great hair dryer and an ok straightener. It will replace my old hair dryer but I still need to keep my old straightener to finish styling my hair.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
