How to Make the Most of Your Dyson Airwrap™ for Curly Hair 

Why the Dyson Airwrap™ works for curly hair

Healthier styling with less heat

The Dyson Airwrap™ is engineered to achieve multiple hairstyles with intelligent airflow instead of extreme heat. Our intelligent technology means smooth and professional results are within reach, while limiting heat damage to curly and coily hair, which may already be prone to dryness, breakage and frizz.

Designed for multiple curly hair types 

The Dyson Airwrap i.d.™ multi-styler and dryer – Curly+Coily connects to the MyDyson™ app, and adapts heat, airflow and timings to build a styling routine based on your hair type and habits. Using a personalised hair profile, this tool is specifically engineered to help you style your hair with ease.

The best Dyson Airwrap™ attachments for curly hair 

Diffuser vs. barrel for curls

The versatility of an Airwrap™ means every style is within reach. Curly+Coily Airwrap™ models include a diffuser, so you can set and enhance your natural curls for shine and definition. For curly styles using hot air, the Multidirectional Conical Airwrap™ barrel creates smooth curls with volume at the root and lasting hold.

Which brush works best for curly textures?

Curly+Coily models feature different brush heads that are compatible with your hair type. The Anti Snag Loop Brush is engineered to smooth and separate hair with less snagging and increased scalp comfort, while the round volumising brush attachment features long bristles that direct air through thick, textured hair to add more body and volume.

Step-by-step guide to using the Dyson Airwrap™ on curly hair 

Prepping your curls before styling 

Creating a smooth, frizz-free curly look starts with the right preparation. Use conditioning pre-style products for naturally curly hair to nourish your curls before styling with heat. Dyson Chitosan™ Pre-style cream conditions your hair before styling, with precision blends for light or rich conditioning for curly and coily hair.  

How to use the barrels for defined curls 

Creating curls is easy with Dyson Airwrap™ barrels. When your hair is damp, work section by section to curl your hair. For each section:

1. Hold your hair about 10cm from the end, and guide the section towards the barrel. 
2.  The Coanda airflow attracts your hair and wraps it around the barrel. 
3. Move the machine towards your head to create volume at the root.
4. Hold in place for about 15 seconds or until dry, then set with a cold shot for 5-10 seconds.

Tips for volume and frizz control 

For extra volume and body, use attachments like the round volumising brush. Start at the root, using the brush to lift your hair from underneath. Maintain tension as you lift the tool upwards for bouncy, smooth styles. Prevent frizz with Dyson Chitosan™ Post-style serum for long-lasting, shiny results.
