Still, it doesn’t quite manage to step out of the Airwrap’s looming shadow.
Two-minute review
Dyson’s latest haircare innovation is here, and ready to blow you away literally.
I can’t speak for how it would work for coily or curly hair, for example.
Now, there’s no avoiding the fact this is an incredibly costly pair of tongs.
A thumb-sizedOLEDdisplay on the main body shows you the styling mode, airflow and temperature configs.
There are two colorways currently available: bright nickel and prussian blue.
It seems like Dyson is dropping its iconic fuschia colorway altogether, which I think is a shame.
Still, I love the glossy finish and copper accents on the bright nickel model I tested.
Thankfully, the Airstrait makes pretty quick work of most hair types.
Even the PRCD plug for the Airstrait is pretty monstrous.
This bulky component might be built with safety in mind, but my goodness it’s an eyesore.
Just don’t expect to be able to plug them into outlets with furniture backed onto them.
Dyson Airstrait Review: Performance
On test, I was pretty impressed with the Airstrait’s performance.
However, with the Airstrait, I saved time on multiple fronts.
Then there’s the drying itself.
If the styled hair got wet, damp, or encountered humidity, it became loosely curled again.
Should I buy the Dyson Airstrait?
For me, it cut my haircare routine by at least half.

Dyson Corrale
If you’re dead set on a pair of Dyson straighteners, consider the Dyson Corrale.

How I tested the Dyson Airstait?
I also tried straightening my partner’s thick, curly hair to see how performance varied between hair types.
Additionally, I measured the decibel output to gauge how loud the Airstrait was in use.
I’ve used my own professional and personal experience to inform my testing.
