BEST DYSON HAIR TOOLS
Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer, Adore Beauty, $549
Despite the strength of this powerful little hair dryer (its digital motor spins at up to 110.000rpm!), Dyson has designed its signature hair dryer with the intention of heat control, which prevents damage to hair strands and encourages shine. Air flow is intensified by three times, thanks to patented Air Multiplier technology, which allows for precision of high velocity air flow, making styling exact. Lastly, four magnetic attachments make this hair dryer appropriate for all types of hair. You can also pick it up in the chic Inversed Red colourway or as a bundle complete with brush and comb, for no extra cost.
Reviewers say that even if you’re sceptical, the results will impress you.
“I always thought it was a ridiculous amount of money to pay for a hair dryer but I couldn’t believe how great the result was in the salon, nor that I could get the same results at home. I have thick, curly hair and using this hair dryer with the diffuser attachment gives amazing frizz-free results in a fraction of the time of my old dryer,” wrote one five-star reviewer.
“I was very nervous about “investing” in the Dyson hair dryer. However I love it. It truly gives a superior style to any hair dryer I’ve owned before (and I’ve owned quite a few as I’m 49 years old). I have fine hair so it doesn’t blow my hair around, allowing me more control of the style,” commented another.
Dyson Airwrap Hair Styler, THE ICONIC, $799
You no longer have to wait for your hair to dry before styling it. The Dyson Airwrap Hair Styler harnesses the Coanda effect – an aerodynamic phenomenon that curves air – to style hair, rather than using extreme heat. In this way, damage to hair is minimised, as is frizz. Like all of Dyson’s remarkable hair products, it is fitted with heat control and airflow technology. Its many magnetic head attachments – 30mm barrels, 40mm barrels, firm smoothing brush, soft smoothing brush, round volumising brush, pre-styling dryer – are all stored in a beautiful case with cushioning to protect your investment.

Dyson Corrale Straightener, THE ICONIC, $699
The Dyson Corrale Straightener is designed with flexing copper alloy plates, which allows it to flex around hair to gently gather it – offering extra control with less hair damage and minimum frizz. Powered by battery, its cordless design offers maximum versatility. You can also buy the straightener with a bonus brush and comb here.
IS DYSON LESS DAMAGING FOR HAIR?
In short, yes – Dyson tools are less damaging for hair. Most other hair tools use heat to dry your hair or work it into the style of your choosing, however Dyson tools rely on clever aerodynamic technology with minimal heat – resulting in silkier, shinier, healthier hair.
CAN YOU STRAIGHTEN HAIR WITH DYSON AIRWRAP?
Contrary to what you might expect, the Airwrap isn’t just a hair curler – it’s an all-purpose styling tool. That means that yes, you can use it to straighten your hair, and it’s especially ideal if you want to add a little volume as you go.
WHICH IS BETTER: DYSON AIRWRAP OR CORRALE?
It depends on how you like to style your hair. If you like to switch it up, and go between straightening, curling, volumising, and everything in between, the Airwrap is a solid all-rounder. If you mainly rely on straightening and only curl your hair occasionally, you’ll get more use out of the Corrale.
