As a natural curly-haired gal, I've never had to master the art of creating curls with heated tools - if I fancied flaunting my curls on any given day, I'd simply let my hair dry naturally.
However, in recent years, I've been exploring the world of hair stylers, and one that's always piqued my interest is the iconic Dyson Air Wrap. But with a typical set retailing for £500, they're not exactly budget-friendly.
Recently, I managed to get my hands on this Air Multi Styler from Bellissima. It's significantly cheaper than the likes of Dyson and so popular that it's almost always sold out on Amazon. The retailer's top-selling air styler is currently available for the reduced price of £159.99, but stock is running incredibly low, so you'll need to be quick to bag one before they're gone again.
If you miss your chance on Amazon or don't mind spending a bit more, you can pick up the same Bellissima Prodigy Air Multi Styler directly from Bellissima (where it's currently discounted to £179.99 down from £249.99) or you can shop at Boots, where the set is available for the same price.
Set to revolutionise your hair routine with effortless and damage-free hairstyles, the Prodigy comes equipped with an impressive six interchangeable heads, offering a wealth of versatility when it comes to choosing your desired look. The set includes a handy beauty bag that's perfect for keeping your kit secure and portable for travel, and the following six styling options: detangle and smooth (flat brush head), extra wavy (round brush), volumise and straighten (oval brush), two coanda prodigy (curling wands), and gentle dry (a hair dryer attachment).
The air styler also provides ample flexibility to cater to your hair and styling needs, featuring three fan speeds, three temperatures and a cold blast, which is recommended for setting your style.
Armed with Hi-Pro Ceramic Technology that promises shiny and glossy hair without causing damage, this styler is powered by a digital motor and digital heat control that delivers five times the pressure of a standard hairdryer, ensuring ultra-fast drying while the tool checks the temperature 50 times per second to prevent heat damage. The device also boasts Ion Care Technology, so you can say goodbye to frizz and flyaways, as it prioritises shinier and smoother locks, reports the Mirror.
Sharing my experience with the styler; as I mentioned before, I'm not exactly a whizz with hairstyling tools, but this gadget was surprisingly straightforward and fuss-free. Yes, it took me a bit of time to find my groove, but once I started using the Coando Curlers, it was a breeze, and I hardly had to lift a finger.
This is all thanks to Bellissima's Coanda Technology, which generates 200 micro-flows of air, allowing your hair to wrap around the cylinders smoothly without the need for you to manually wrap each section or risk singeing your fingers.
I was aiming for defined waves and curls, and I was taken aback by how quickly it achieved this. It's worth noting that the hair styler is quite large, longer than your average straightener or curling wand when the Coanda Prodigy curlers are attached - while I adjusted to this, beginners might need some time to get used to it.
That being said, once I got the hang of how it works (with user-friendly controls that let you effortlessly switch between temperatures and speeds), it took surprisingly little time to achieve the curls I was after.
I should mention that I have relatively short and thin hair, so I reckon styling would take longer for someone with thicker and longer hair, but all in all, it took me about 20 minutes. I did section my hair into three layers to make grabbing sections easier without too much hair getting in the way, but I don't think this would be necessary depending on the style you're aiming for.
If you have more hair than I do, I'd recommend sectioning. The air styler did tend to pick up hair outside of my section if I wasn't careful, so if, like me, you want tighter curls, you'll need to keep an eye out to ensure too much hair isn't wrapping around the curler.
While I did experiment with the other attachments, the Coanda Prodigy curlers have certainly become my favourite for achieving smoother, more defined curls that surpass even my natural hair. Regardless, I was astounded by this set's versatility and its ability to cater to a variety of hair types and styles. It's incredibly easy to use, and a clear set of instructions is also included. This makes it simpler than ever to achieve sought-after styles without the need for experience or proficiency with other hairstyling tools.
As a person with bleached hair, I'm always concerned about excessive heat damaging my hair. However, after using this air styler, my hair didn't feel dry or brittle at all. In fact, my curls felt noticeably smoother, and my hair seemed to have a bit more shine. That said, I did use a heat protector spray, which may have contributed to these results. I used the Colour Wow Dream Coat.
And it's not just me who's smitten with this hair styler. Bellissima shoppers have given this set a near-perfect rating, currently boasting an impressive 4.8 out of 5 stars.
One happy shopper shares: "I bought this last week, and it's AMAZING! It dries my (long and thick) hair within 10 minutes. Especially for this price, it is the best out there! Additionally, this product simply looks beautiful and very aesthetically pleasing."
Another fan of the Prodigy Air Styler gushes: "This air styler is a must have for anyone. I have been amazed by the results, taming my hair to make it smooth and sleek. And very simple styling. I'm amazed how the air style works. The curling tongs are great. It comes in a beautiful bag and has several attachments which are easy to attach and swap."
And a third adds: "Absolutely amazing product! So versatile! Works so effectively for many different hair styles! So durable and very portable for travel! Feels very safe to use no concerns whatsoever!"
