Compare every Dyson Airwrap — Complete Long, Origin and Special Edition — and pick the right model for your hair length, budget and styling needs.

Quick comparison
Which Dyson Airwrap is best for long hair?
The Dyson Airwrap Complete Long is engineered specifically for hair past the shoulders. Its 40 mm × 160 mm long Coanda barrels grip more hair per pass and produce more even curls and waves on long lengths. If your hair sits on or above the shoulders, the Origin or Special Edition will work just as well at a lower price.
What's the difference between Airwrap Complete Long and Airwrap Origin?
Complete Long ships with the full attachment set — long barrels, soft and firm smoothing brushes, round volumising brush, Coanda smoother, and pre-styling dryer. Origin includes a focused subset (30 mm + 40 mm Coanda barrels and a soft smoothing brush) at a more accessible price. Both use the same V9 motor and 150°C intelligent heat cap.
Is the Airwrap Special Edition worth the extra money?
The Special Edition is the same machine with every Coanda attachment Dyson makes plus a presentation case and signature copper finish. It's worth the difference if you want every styling option in one box and the premium aesthetic.
Does the Dyson Airwrap damage hair?
No — the Airwrap caps temperatures at 150°C, well below the ~175°C threshold where hair-protein damage typically begins. It uses the Coanda effect (high-velocity air) instead of high heat to wrap and shape hair. With the smoothing nozzle and pre-styling dryer, total heat exposure is significantly lower than a curling iron.
Can I use the Dyson Airwrap on wet hair?
The Airwrap is designed for hair that has been towel-dried to roughly 80% dry. Apply heat protectant, rough-dry with the pre-styling attachment, then switch to the Coanda barrels for styling. Don't use it on soaking-wet or completely-dry hair.
What voltage does the Airwrap use?
Airwrap motors accept 100–240V universal voltage, but the plug type and country firmware vary by region. When you order, our team confirms the right regional version (US, EU, UK, AU/NZ or TR) before shipping so you don't need a converter.
How long does the Dyson Airwrap last?
Dyson rates the V9 digital motor for several years of daily use. The 2-year manufacturer warranty covers defects. Replacement attachments are available if individual heads wear out, so you don't need to replace the main unit.
Is there free shipping for the Dyson Airwrap?
Yes — every Airwrap order on dysonairwrap.eu ships free worldwide, with no minimum, and arrives in 3–7 business days.
Verdict
If your hair is long, choose the Complete Long. If it's medium-length and you want the best price, choose the Origin. If you want every attachment Dyson makes plus a luxury case, choose the Special Edition. All three include the 2-year warranty and ship free worldwide.
