How to Use the Dyson Airwrap — Step-by-Step for Curls, Waves and Smoothing
A step-by-step Dyson Airwrap tutorial — prep, attachment selection, technique for curls, waves and smoothing.
Quick steps
1) Towel-dry hair to ~80% dry. 2) Apply heat protectant. 3) Pre-style with the Coanda dryer attachment. 4) Choose the Coanda barrel for curls or smoothing brush for sleek finish. 5) Use medium heat + medium airflow as your default — only step up if needed.
How do I use the Dyson Airwrap on curly hair?
Pre-style with the diffuser-style pre-styling attachment until ~80% dry, then use the 40 mm Coanda barrel one section at a time, holding each curl 8–12 seconds, then a 5-second cold-shot to set.
How do I get volume with the Airwrap round brush?
Lift hair at the root and roll the round volumising brush from root to mid-length on medium heat. Hold for 5 seconds, then pull through with cold-shot. Work in vertical sections for a salon-style blowout.
Should I use the Airwrap on damp or dry hair?
Damp (~80% dry) — the Coanda effect needs slight moisture to grip and shape hair. Completely dry hair won't curl as effectively.
