Dyson's new Airwrap styles your hair for you - thanks to AI and motion sensors
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more Dyson is one of the leading brands when it comes to tech, whether its home gadgets or beauty tools. From the Airstrait to the Dyson Airwrap, there is no gizmo from the brand that disappoints. The aforementioned hair tools have sold out on numerous occasions due to popular demand, and there is a new kid coming to the block that we predict will have an equally successful outcome. Dyson is set to launch the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x Multi-Styler and Dryer in September, which may seem like a while to wait – but it's worth it, believe us. The multi-purpose hair tool boasts a powerful air flow powered by its Hyperdymium 2 motor that produces 30% more power and double the air pressure of the original Airwrap. The attachments are fitted with radio frequency identification, which enables the tool to adjust the settings to suit your hair type. It can be paired to the app to customise your hair styling session. The Airwrap Co-anda 2x is available in two sets Straight + Wavy or Curly + Coily both of which include six attachments and a carry case. BUY in september for £579.99 The Dyson Airwrap Co-Anda 2x has been designed with a new motor to make it easier and faster to dry, curl or straighten your hair in one full swoop. What we love about the original Dyson Airwrap is it uses powerful air flow to dry and style the hair, which reduces the heat damage to your locks – always a bonus. This USP is not lost on the new iteration. In fact, the new model is fitted with a Hyperdymium™ 2 motor, which delivers twice the air pressure, so you can dry and style your hair even quicker than before, without any heat damage. The other difference between the original and new Dyson Airwrap is this latest addition is smaller and lighter, which makes it easy to manoeuvre and control – another clever feature those who are not so au fait with hair styling will appreciate. The Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x Multi-Styler and Dryer is equally as multifunctional as the original. It is a six-in-one tool that can dry your locks, as well as curl, create beach waves, straighten, smooth, and volumise your tresses. A new feature is its radio frequency identification (RFID), which means the attachments automatically adjust to suit your hair type and style, so you can trust this tool has been designed with your hair health in mind. The Airwrap 2x also boasts glass bead thermistors for intelligent heat control. This design feature measures the air temperature, and aims to keep that temperature stable for user protection. The Airwrap 2x is app compatible, so you can programme your settings with one-touch ID curl technology for a customised experience. Speaking about the new creation, James Dyson – founder and chief engineer – shared: 'Dyson has developed a new motor for our new Airwrap2x™, which spins at 150,000rpm, delivering twice the air pressure, faster drying and less heat damage. The high pressure creates a longer lasting curl or straighter styles. Traditional stylers can damage hair, but we have always focused on developing tools that protect hair health whilst enhancing without compromising precision and or performance. We harness our expertise in motors, fluid dynamics, and materials to continually improve. New attachments like the AirSmooth2x™ create sleek looks, and the patented bristles on the Anti-snag Loop Brush 2x create snag-free styling, all while AI-driven sensors adjust heat to protect your hair. It's about creating exciting long-lasting styles using with smarter, more efficient technology.' The tool can fit nine styling attachments, though in the UK this is divided into Straight and Wavy set, as well as the curly and Coily set, both of which come with six attachments that are housed in a stunning case. More Trending The Straight and Wavy st includes a 30mm Co-anda 2x curling barrel as well as 40mm size, an anti-snag loop brush, round volumising brush, AirSmooth attachment and fast dryer. The Curly + Coily set features similar attachments, including the 40m Co-anda curling barrel, anti-snag loop brush, round volumising brush, fast dryer, as well as a tension comb, and Wave + Curl diffuser. Owners can also explore a range of standalone attachments to complement their set: the 20mm Co-anda2x™ curling barrel, 30mm Co-anda 2x™ curling barrel, AirSmooth2x™, Wave+Curl diffuser 2x and Tension comb 2x. The Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x Multi-Styler and Dryer will be available in ceramic pink and jasper plum colours, both of which will retail for £579.99.

Unfortunately one customer was left disappointed with the ghd Chronos hair straightener, as they explained: "The straighteners I'm not impressed with, especially for the price of them. I've tried multiple times now to curl my hair with them, which I have no problems with using my old cheap straighteners, but these have got no grip. You have to squeeze so tight… I won't be using them for curling again, straightening only, and even then you have to squeeze tight to get a good grip of your hair."

I love the brush that comes with it as well and feel like my hair doesn't break when I use it."

The brilliant Dyson Airwrap alternative – that's half the price
If your hair 'tools' at home extend to a hairbrush and a hairdryer, but you're thinking of investing in something to elevate your style a little, allow me to guide you through a booming market for gadgets that volumise limp hair, curl straight hair or indeed straighten curly hair. Some are established, there are lots of new ones and many are pretty expensive. Meanwhile some use high temperatures to achieve results and others use air – so what do you really need from a product that often has a price tag in the hundreds? The Multi-Tasker, £195, Hershesons I've tried my fair share. The one I keep going back to at the moment is The Multi-Tasker by Hershesons, which is really handy if you want one tool to do lots of different things and if you like a bit of texture in your hair. In the kit, which costs £195, you get a main handle and three attachments. If you have medium to longer hair like me, this includes a heated brush, a classic tong and a waver (there's a set for short hair too). The heated brush is excellent for adding root lift into limp hair (you can watch an easy tutorial to recreate this on The attachment I've been using the most is the waver, which looks like a wider version of an Eighties crimper – except it gives a really modern, cool wave in a matter of minutes. (Honestly, I can do my full head of long hair in around five minutes.) You can adjust the temperature on the dial, too, so if you have fine hair like me I'd start off on a lower heat. If you like your hair straight, I don't think you can beat Ghd straighteners. I am yet to use another set that offer as much smoothness and shine. The brand's newest creation, the Chronos Max (£299, Ghd), has wider plates so is particularly brilliant if you have thick or very long hair that you want to straighten. Just one pass on each section of hair works wonders; I'd just make sure your hair is completely dry before using it. Of course, if you'd rather a tool that takes you from damp hair to styled without needing a hairdryer, Dyson is the market leader on stylers that use air flow, not heat. I am asked so often about Dyson gadgets – and if they're really worth the steep price tag. I think the Airwrap (£479.99, Dyson) is very good: it has lots of different attachments to add body, curl and volume in the hair, although in my experience the curl doesn't last beyond an afternoon or evening (which, for much of the time, is no problem). It takes a little practice but once you get the hang of it, you can go from damp to styled hair in around 10 minutes. The Airstrait is Dyson's alternative to hair straighteners that use heat (from £379.99, Dyson). I think these are excellent, but as the straighteners can't reach your roots, you will need to dry your roots first before using it on your damp mid-lengths and ends. Because they are so light to use, much of the tech is in the plug socket which is quite bulky, so do bear that in mind. With any of these tools (even the Dysons), I think it's essential you prep the hair properly with a heat-protecting spray (I've included some of my favourites here). Three of the best… heat-protecting products The Prologue Hair Primer by Arkive £13, Boots Not only does this smell uplifting and zesty, it's a brilliant styling product, too. Spray it into damp hair and the clever heat-activated formula means it will hold the shape whatever styling tool you use – whether a straightener or a tong. An excellent option for anyone with finer hair. Extra Strength Dream Coat by Color Wow £32, Space NK If you have very coarse, curly or frizzy hair, this best-selling conditioning heat protectant spray is for you. Apply to damp hair and it adds hydration which will last until you next wash it, with the sort of shine and gloss you only really get after a salon blow-dry. A friend with curly hair has been committed to this for years! Almost Everything Cream by Hershesons From £14, Hershesons As the name suggests, this has lots of different uses. Most useful is to spread a pump or two in your hands, then smooth it into freshly washed, damp hair. It takes away frizz and adds a protective layer, ready for any tools. You can also use it to calm any finer baby hairs around the hairline.
