Dyson is elevating the bar (and the value) with the announcement of its latest Airwrap.
Formally known 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 modify the velocity and warmth settings on the software (not not like the Supersonic Nural). This up to date tech does include the next value level of $699.99 — a $100 improve over all earlier Airwrap fashions, together with final 12 months’s Airwrap i.d.. Fashions will probably be obtainable 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 newest 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 lead to at the least quicker drying and styling.
Whereas I might see stronger air movement creating extra of a studying curve for styling in significantly, 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 might not be a cure-all.
The Airwrap Co-anda 2x comes with a extra highly effective motor.

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

The straight/wavy mannequin comes with each new attachments, the anti-snag loop brush and AirSmooth 2x brush. In accordance 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 checklist, changing it and the AirSmooth with a Pressure 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 appropriate with the i.d. curl operate on the MyDyson app. Basically, after answering a hair profile questionnaire, the app will advocate styling recommendation.
The next value level
Means again in 2018, the very first iteration of the Airwrap price $500. Then, the subsequent technology price $600. The Airwrap i.d. broke the cycle final 12 months, additionally releasing at a $600 value level, however the Co-anda 2x places the Airwrap again on monitor.
In brief, it is some huge cash. It is $50 greater than Dyson’s laser-powered V12 vacuum, double the value of the Shark FlexStyle, and over two occasions the value of T3’s multi-styler, the Aire 360. Comparatively talking, by way of each specs and value, it’s a top-of-the-line machine.
For anybody on the lookout for a less expensive possibility that also exists inside the Dyson ecoystem, the 2022-release Airwrap does go on sale for $100 off with some regularity, placing it right down to $499.99 — $200 beneath the the Co-anda 2x Airwrap.
