Desk of Contents

Dyson is elevating the bar (and the worth) with the announcement of its latest Airwrap.

Formally referred to as the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x, the model’s newest multi-styler will come geared up a brand new motor, and two new attachments which can be RFID-enabled to routinely alter the velocity and warmth settings on the instrument (not not like the Supersonic Nural). This up to date tech does include the next worth level of $699.99 — a $100 improve over all earlier Airwrap fashions, together with final 12 months’s Airwrap i.d.. Fashions will likely be out there to buy beginning Tuesday, July 8, in two colorways: jasper plum and ceramic pink.

As Mashable’s procuring reporter on the Dyson magnificence beat, I have been testing and following Dyson’s Airwrap lineup (and the various dupes it is impressed) for the previous three years. Whereas I haven’t got the Co-anda 2x in hand simply but, I needed to interrupt down all of the upgrades on the most recent installment of this multi-styler.

A model new motor

Dyson claims this Aiwrap can ship two occasions the air stress (therefore the 2x within the identify) and 30 % extra energy than earlier Airwraps, due to its Hyperdymium 2 motor. In principle, this could end in not less than quicker drying and styling.

Whereas I might see stronger air movement creating extra of a studying curve for styling in notably, counting on extra air as an alternative of warmth for styling might have some potential for hair well being. That mentioned, some customers (myself included) discover it laborious to get curls to carry with previous Airwrap fashions, and warmth helps types maintain — so it is probably not a cure-all.

For these frightened about warmth injury extra usually, Dyson has included good sensors discovered on earlier Airwraps, which monitor the air temperature to make sure it does not attain some extent that would incur injury simply.

The brand new Airwrap attachments

Just like the Airwrap i.d., the Co-anda 2x will include two variations: one for straight and wavy hair and one for curly and coily hair. And as with every prior Airwrap, the multi-stylers include six attachments. The lineup for every is as follows (with the brand new designs bolded):

The straight/wavy mannequin comes with each new attachments, the anti-snag loop brush and AirSmooth 2x brush. In line with Dyson, the AirSmooth attachment “smooths and straightens with high-velocity airflow and auto-release arms.” With that description, I think about it is higher suited to styling hair that is already straighter.

The curly/coily Airwrap additionally drops the 30-millimeter Co-anda curling barrel from its record, changing it and the AirSmooth with a Stress comb and Wave+Curl diffuser.

The attachment discovered on each fashions, the anti-snag loop brush, is definitely extra of an improve from the smoothing brushes from the final gen’s Airwrap lineup, with new curved bristles to enhance management (and reduce tugging and snagging).

The multi-styler will even be suitable with the i.d. curl perform on the MyDyson app. Basically, after answering a hair profile questionnaire, the app will advocate styling recommendation.

A better worth level

Method again in 2018, the very first iteration of the Airwrap value $500. Then, the subsequent technology value $600. The Airwrap i.d. broke the cycle final 12 months, additionally releasing at a $600 worth level, however the Co-anda 2x places the Airwrap again on observe.

Briefly, it is some huge cash. It is $50 greater than Dyson’s laser-powered V12 vacuum, double the worth of the Shark FlexStyle, and over two occasions the worth of T3’s multi-styler, the Aire 360. Comparatively talking, by way of each specs and worth, it’s a top-of-the-line machine.

For anybody searching for a less expensive choice that also exists throughout the Dyson ecoystem, the 2022-release Airwrap does go on sale for $100 off with some regularity, placing it all the way down to $499.99 — $200 under the the Co-anda 2x Airwrap. Whereas it is not on sale on the time of writing, Amazon’s Prime Day isnext week. If it will get marked down, you will you’ll want to hear about it in Mashable’s deal protection.
