![]() It sounds like an easy concept to grasp-but for me, it was not. Instead of rotating the wand to wind up the hair, all you do is move it toward your head. ![]() Here's how: Hold your section of hair in the middle and place the barrel right next to your ends until they catch and wrap. Step 5: Wrap your hairĮither manually wrap your hair (which is what I did every time I got too frustrated to figure it out), or let the air wrap your hair itself. That's one annoying part of the Airwrap that was the hardest for me to get the hang of, but the barrels have large, helpful arrows so you can see in the mirror which way is correct. In order to switch directions of your curls, you have to switch out the barrel (or hold it upside down). Not only do you have to choose the barrel size for how big you want your waves/curls, but you also have to choose the direction. ![]() Just like you would when working with any other curling iron, section and clip your hair up and out of the way, only releasing small sections as you style them. That sweet spot for me is when my hair looks mostly dry but still feels a lil steamy and humid. Hair that's too wet will take too long to style, and hair that's too dry won't style at all. But if you do want to use the barrels, blow-dry your hair only until it's 70 percent dry. If you're not planning on curling your hair with the barrels, use any of the brushes or the blow-dryer attachments to dry it completely. FYI: If you have fine hair-no matter if it's straight, wavy, curly, or coily-Reyman suggests you prep the same way. I also nixed the hair oils and creamy heat protectants and stuck with only light-hold formulas and volumizing sprays that would add a little grit and encourage my hair to stay lifted. Because I have fine, straight, non-damaged hair, Reyman suggested I wash my hair with a simple cleanser or volumizing shampoo. The Dyson Airwrap, as great as it is, can only do so much, so if you're not starting with perfectly prepped strands, your hair won't hold a curl (or anything) at all. Turns out, tiny tweaks can make the biggest difference. If you want looser beach waves with straighter ends, you can hand-wrap the section of hair around the barrels, but the coolest part of this device is how it sucks and styles your hair itself.īecause I'm too prideful to let a hair tool beat me, I turned to hairstylist Jon Reyman, a Dyson global styling ambassador, to give me some pointers and correct what I was doing wrong. It took at least three separate tries and three failed blowouts before I had that aha! moment and figured it out. Here's how they work: The barrels use airflow that wraps in circles around the barrel (called the coanda effect), which is how it grabs the hair to style it (kinda like getting sucked into a gentle tornado). The brushes and blow-dryer attachments were self-explanatory, but the barrels go against everything I've ever learned about how to curl hair. Oddly, one of the hardest parts for me was figuring out how to use the barrels. Yes and no, depending on how good you are with heat tools and patience. Instead, I had to re-wet my hair to re-style it. And honestly, when I tried to touch up my dry hair with it the next day, I found that it was harder and more time consuming than just heating up a curling iron and fixing a few pieces. Although I've heard some people say it works just as well on dry hair, the tool is designed to work best on at least slightly damp hair. Yes! The whole point of the Airwrap is to be able style and dry at the same time, so you don't need multiple steps and tools. ![]() SHOP NOW Can I use the Dyson Airwrap on wet hair?
