Dyson - Airwrap Coanda 2x Multi-Styler and Dryer For Curly+Coily Hair - Ceramic Pink/Rose Gold

I was a little hesitant on trying the new Dyson - Airwrap Coanda 2x Multi-Styler and Dryer For Curly+Coily Hair because out of the many Dyson hair machines I have tried I was probably the most disappointed in the original Airwrap (the one where the barrel was one directional so you received 4 in the set) for people with my hair type or similar. It did not work well following the brands instructions for my hair type overall and it felt like it actually added more time to hair styling which defeats the purpose of choosing a multi styler. I was intrigued by the sets being released with more focus on specific hair types (although I do realize this is true with another version of the Airwrap but was not this way when the original came out) so I figured it was time to give this product line another try. Packaging wise Dyson continues to do a great job with including presentation cases to safely and neatly store the machine and its attachments. With this set though unfortunately they didn't make room for the Wave+Curl diffuser which is a disappointing. Instead of making a larger case they opted to use the same dimensional case they have for the previous Airwraps as well as the SuperSonic hair dryers. It's a not a huge deal but it just means you can't keep the diffuser with everything else. But otherwise, the case is sturdy and well made (although the flimsy stock paper used as dividers has always felt like a cheap budget cut since the original had fixed dividers made out of hard plastic). The attachments included are somewhat similar to past offerings including the round volumizing brush, a loop brush (which is designed differently), a comb labeled as tension comb, and the 2 in 1 diffuser. But what makes these attachments better besides the redesign for some of them is the thought put into the upgrades to what the actual machine does. Much stronger airflow and heat than the original that I have and a big one for me, stronger airflow for wrapping around the curling barrel meaning the opportunity to get tighter wrap and in turn better curls. I wish they offered the smaller 1" barrel in addition to the 1.6" that is included to give a little more option for varying hair lengths. I can use the 1.6" without issue for my long hair and the various shorter layers I have but for someone with shorter hair they may feel like the provided barrel is too big for their needs. But overall, most users will find the attachments included should fit their needs. I should also mention the app. Setup and pairing were simple. And you can watch tutorials with ease to help you along the way. The app is also how you use ID Curl, which makes taking the guess work out of how to get he perfect curl with the precise timer to wrap, curl, and cold blast which is atumatically tailored to your hair needs. A couple pros for me includes the stronger airflow that I have already mentioned as well as the heat options reaching temps that feel as hot and as strong as I experience with my SuperSonic dryers. This is especially helpful for those with coily and more textured hair. While it definitely gets hot it doesn't feel like you are getting damaging heat as Dyson has proven (at least in my experience) that they have got the science down perfectly to help get the best results without causing heat damage. The con for me isn't really a big one but while I definitely feel like it performs much better than the original (especially with the dryer feeling virtually like it has the power of the Supersonic) I still don't feel like it makes styling my hair from post wash to the steps of my entire routine faster. I'm more drawn to using the curling barrel between washes if I want to add a little volume back to my hair with flowing curls. While the ability to get a better and smoother blowout exists with this version over the original I still feel like I get the best results from the supersonic and a paddle brush I can appreciate that this multi tool makes things convenient. Overall, I was definitely left with a far better opinion of this Airwrap than I had for the oroginal I own and has been sitting untouched for likely well over a year or two. It is definitely expensive but if you will truly use it it really may be worth trying.

As someone with natural hair caught between wavy and curly and that’s thickand longish, it’s hard to heat style my hair without drying it out or leaving it frizzy. Especially without it taking me a long time to get it done. I’ve recently tried a couple of another brands’ hair styling systems without being impressed so I was prepared to have the same results with the Dyson Airwrap Coanda2x. I am so happy to say that they were not! The airflow of the dryer dried my hair faster than I think one ever has and it didn’t leave it feeling hot. I’m usually sweating in my head before I get all of my hair dry but not this time. The attachments were easy to change so I was able to move quickly from drying to styling. My hair is thick enough so I’m not typically looking for volume, but the diffuser does great at reducing the frizz, so I accept the added volume with it. What became my favorite to use out of all the included attachments, though, is the tension comb and the curling barrel. I can stretch my waves and curls without losing texture or I can add so extra ‘oomph’ to them. But what sold me on this Dyson Airwrap system overall despite how pricy it is was how my hair stays soft and bouncy feeling and not dry and bothered after I use it. The only downside is that it’s difficult for me to travel with because of the size of the system and its case.

I have had great hair styling dryers and curlers before, and some not so great. I own the predecessor to the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x Multistyler and Dryer, but this one is specifically designed for Curly and Coily hair, and it is much more helpful and valuable for my curly hair type than the original I purchased in 2016. After a few months of using the original model, I ended up having to buy another expensive low-heat hairdryer to have a hairdryer with a diffuser attachment. The attachments included with the Co-anda 2x Multistyler are precisely what is needed for curly hair, and include all the required tools for fast, curly hair drying that were missing from the original model. The original model I owned was nice, but it was definitely designed for shoulder-length to longer, straight hair. The new Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x is designed with Dyson’s Hyperdymium 2 motor, which is 30 percent stronger than its predecessor. Because the air pressure is twice as powerful, the styling tool can dry hair very quickly without causing heat damage. The Tension comb attachment is designed to smooth curly and coily hair without stretching it. However, I use this tool to dry my curls at the scalp, ensuring they are locked in at the root and last longer. Then I use the 1.6” Coanda 2x curling barrel to dry and lock the curls. This is one of the new intelligent styling tools that is included with this Airwrap. By downloading the app from Dyson and pairing the styler with your phone, this tool will operate based on the information you enter into the app regarding your personal preferences. The tip of this tool allows direction of air flow to be changed by switching it to the right or left. This is an excellent feature because hair drying and styling must be done in both directions to care for the right and left sides of your head. When paired with the app, this tool interacts with the app and senses movement to automatically wrap strands of hair, adjust the proper heat and airflow to dry the strand of curl, and finishes with cool air to lock the curl in place. This is automatic, based on the drying and cooling times for each individual’s hair type, as input into the app. The app remembers your settings and will retain your information for your subsequent use. In addition to these three styling tools, the case also includes three more: a fast dryer, a round volumizing brush, and an anti-snag loop brush. Together, these work to dry hair quickly, add volume to the hairstyle, and provide a smooth, aligned finish for a more tailored look. There are four (4) heat settings and three (3) speeds. The cord is very ample at 6.56 feet in length. This length is ideal for using the device without any constraints, allowing for unrestricted use to reach all corners of your hair more effectively. It is a 1700-watt dryer and operates on 120 volts. I like how it is lightweight, even with the attachments, and how easily it fits in your hand. The tubular shape of the dryer is slightly oval, making it much easier to hold than one that is perfectly cylindrical. The presentation case neatly stores the dryer and all the styling tools. It is professionally designed, very well-made, and has a classic, quality look that is consistent throughout the entire product. This dryer/styler is a little pricey, but sometimes time is essential, and the appeal of a nicely finished hairstyle is too. I have always enjoyed my Dyson products, and I know I will enjoy this one just as much.

I have daughters with fine, curly hair. They have the kind of curls naturally cascading down their back(s) that people will pay a lot of money to have set/styled/permed to have. However, hair of this nature does not lend itself to hairstyling. So, for recitals, fancy events, etc. sometimes I need to be creative with their dos. It rarely behaves and struggles to stay in place. I have all manner of heated brushes, hair dryers, flat irons, and curlers. What I lack is cooperation (from the hair) and patience. I’m always looking for a tool that will make this task easier. Enter the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda. To briefly describe this tool, I would say it’s the smart version of the tools listed above. It comes with several attachments (please see photos) for drying, curling, and straightening. It comes with a lovely case to fit almost all the attachments with the base unit (the diffuser, sadly, does not fit in the box with everything else.) The lid of the case can be reversed to hold your phone, along with clips or other styling tools (clips not included.) You will need to download the My Dyson app to utilize the styler. Setting up is easy and uses Bluetooth technology to connect to your phone. The app will ask you about your experience level, your hair type, and what kinds of styles you are interested in. The next thing you will want to set up is “i.d. curl.” This is the “smart” styler function. There is a tutorial on the app, and it allows you to do a test run of the curling process. You will want to hold a section of your hair and allow the wrap to take the hair on its own. The styler will then curl the hair by itself. There are timers on the screen to show you how long to hold the curl. The styler will form a curl, hold and heat it, then cool the hair down and release it. You just watch the app to see how it goes through each stage. The process takes 30-45 seconds per section. What I really liked is that there was no waiting to heat up the product as you would a curling iron. It takes the profile of your hair and computes how to style your hair to give the best curl. The air heats up, not the attachment. There are many videos on the app showing how to use the styler. I picked one that showed how to straighten hair with the brush attachment, since that is what my test subject wanted. This was much easier to use than a standard heated brush. The hair didn’t get hot and crispy using the Dyson. One thing I wish I had used was heat protectant spray. The video did not instruct me to use one and I didn’t think about it until afterward. It straightened most of her hair. I had a few flips on the ends that wouldn’t lay flat. She was happy with the overall result, so I left it as it was. Her hair went from curly to more of a feathered 80s era style. I thought it was cute. She was thrilled. With more practice, I think I will learn to use the other attachments to achieve different looks. If you are used to styling every day, your learning curve may be much shorter than mine. The app could not be more helpful for a beginner like me.

I’ve heard a lot of buzz regarding Dyson hair products lately and I’ve been wanting to see what all the noise was about for myself. I decided to give the new Dyson Airwrap Coanda Multi-Styler and Dryer for curly+coily hair a try on my hair. I have a natural medium length coarse grade of hair for reference. One of the main reasons I wanted to try the Dyson Co-anda was due to the amount of time it takes me to style my hair. From start to finish, it takes on average 3 to 4 hours to completely style my hair. Some questions I had going into the experiment was could the Dyson reduce the time it takes to style my hair and provide the look I was seeking in the end result? Packaging The Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x comes with several high-end attachments and a nice storage case. I have the ceramic pink/rose gold color option and presentation is very elegant. The case is a hard-shell protective case that allows you to store the all the accessories with the exception of the diffuser. The accessories include a dryer, tension comb, curling barrel, 2 brushes and diffuser. How does it feel Using the Dyson Co-anda 2x has cut down my styling time considerably. The dryer works really well. I was able to dry my hair in record time after sectioning off parts of my hair. The anti-snag brush does a great job straightening my hair. Im currently still new to the Dyson world, so using the My Dyson app has helped me with learning how to properly use the tool. I had to practice getting the hang of using the airwrap down. The biggest question is does Dyson Co-anda 2x live up to the hype and is it worth the total cost? After using the device, I really love it. I like the dryer features, I love the attachments and the ability to use the app. I really wish there was a straightening tool added. Since the cost is substantial, I would have liked if Dyson included this attachment so I wouldn’t need to use another device to straightening my hair. I still love my Dyson and as I continue learning how to operate the device. My hair looks and feels better after using Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x. For me, Im definitely keeping this tool around.
