Fast forward to today and there's four incredible tools on offer, including the Corrale, AirStrait, and the sought-after Airwrap, which can take strands from air-dried to styled in just a matter of seconds.
Best known for its ability to dry, curl, wave and smooth hair, the Dyson Airwrap is easily one of the most popular tools on the market — and it's just had a glow up.
A new version of the cult-tool has just arrived on Aussie shores, called the Airwrap Co-anda 2x.
Offering an even quicker drying and styling experience, the new device is smaller, lighter and even more powerful than its predecessor — and it contains a brand-new attachment.
At $999, it's a serious splurge, so we did the homework to see if Dyson's latest drop is actually worth it. You're welcome.

A lazy girl's hack to hair styling, the Airwrap is the solution to fast results, heat-protective tech and smart styling.
Scroll through Instagram or TikTok, and you'll quickly be flooded with beauty enthusiasts raving about this tool as their secret to achieving a salon-quality blowout at home.
Promising to transform strands safely — rather than by blasting excessive heat — Dyson's Airwrap tech contains a high-speed airflow, naturally attracting and wrapping hair around the barrel attachments.
Unlike the original Airwrap, the Co-anda 2x uses a Hyperdymium motor to deliver twice the air pressure to wrap hair more easily, and 'dries as fast as a full-performance hair dryer'.
Despite the significant boost in power, it remains surprisingly quiet while drying and styling.
There's six attachments included, with one brand-new addition.

Inside each gorgeous Co-anda x2 box (you can choose between a sleek Jasper Plum or Ceramic pink), there's six attachments, a 30mm and 40mm barrel, Anti-snag, loop brush, Round volumising brush Fast dryer and Airsmooth — which has been described by shoppers as a 'mini version of the Airstrait'.
Each contain Radio Frequency Identification chips too — which allow auto-adjusting settings to kick in once attachments are in place, ensuring optimal airflow and heat, for results that actually last.
Thanks to the MyDyson app, you can even enter your hair details (length, texture, and preferred styling look) to create your very own personalised curling sequence, ensuring great results every time.
Go from bedhead to blowout in no time at all with the new Dyson Co-anda 2x.

Banks slump as ASX opens sharply lower
Overnight, the S&P 500 fell 0.4 per cent, the Dow Jones lost 0.7 per cent and the Nasdaq composite slipped less than 0.1 per cent. Loading Healthcare stocks were the biggest drag on the market. Eli Lilly & Co. fell 2.6 per cent, UnitedHealth Group slid 6.2 per cent and Bristol-Myers Squibb lost 5.9 per cent. About 70 per cent of stocks in the S&P 500 lost ground, but big technology stocks with hefty values helped temper the impact of losses in health care and other sectors. Technology stocks rose following results from big companies showcasing advancements in artificial intelligence. Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, surged 11.3 per cent after it crushed Wall Street's sales and profit targets even as the company continues to pour billions into artificial intelligence. Microsoft jumped 4 per cent after also posting better results than analysts expected. The software pioneer also gave investors an encouraging update on its Azure cloud computing platform, which is a centrepiece of the company's artificial intelligence efforts. Apple and Amazon reported their results after the closing bell. Apple forecast revenue well above estimates, following strong June-quarter results supported by customers buying iPhones early to avoid Trump's tariffs. Chief financial officer Kevan Parekh said the company expected revenue growth for the current quarter in the 'mid to high single digits', which exceeded the 3.27 per cent growth to $US98.04 billion ($152 billion) that analysts expected, according to LSEG data. Apple shares are 3 per cent higher in after-hours trading. Amazon posted higher fiscal second-quarter profit and sales, underscoring its resilience despite tariff uncertainty. The company also offered on Thursday a sales outlook for the current quarter that beat analysts' projections. Still, its shares fell 5 per cent in after-market trading. Loading Earnings remained a key focus outside the technology sector in what has been a heavy week so far for corporate financial results. CVS Health rose 0.3 per cent after it topped Wall Street expectations for the second quarter and raised its full-year forecast again. Wall Street is also monitoring the latest economic data, which included an update on inflation. The Commerce Department said prices rose 2.6 per cent in June compared with a year ago, as measured by the personal consumption expenditures index. That's the Federal Reserve's preferred measure for inflation. The latest reading was slightly higher than economists expected and also marks an increase from an annual pace of 2.4 per cent in May. Results from another measure of inflation earlier this month, the consumer price index, also showed inflation rising in June. Also on Thursday, a report showed that the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits inched up last week. The latest updates on inflation and the jobs market are landing amid lingering concerns about the impact of tariffs. Inflation's temperature is being closely monitored by businesses and the Fed to better gauge the impact of Trump's on-again-off-again approach to import taxes. Companies including Ford and Hershey's have more recently warned that tariffs are weighing on their latest and projected financial results. Trump has said he will levy tariffs against goods from dozens of countries if they don't reach agreements with the US by Friday. The latest developments in the seemingly unpredictable tariff landscape include a potential pause in tariff escalations with China and a deal with South Korea. Wall Street has been tempering their expectations for rate cuts at the Fed's next meeting in September. Traders now see a 39 per cent chance of a rate cut, according to data from CME Group. That's down from 58.4 per cent a week ago and a 75.4 per cent chance a month ago. Treasury yields held steady in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury slipped to 4.36 per cent from 4.37 per cent late on Wednesday. The yield on the two-year Treasury remained at 3.94 per cent from late Wednesday.

ASX set to fall, Wall Street mixed; Microsoft, Meta surge
Stocks indexes were mixed in afternoon trading on Wall Street after a health care sector slide offset some of the gains from a rally among big tech companies. The S&P 500 was up less than 0.1 per cent, holding just below the record high it set on Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 88 points, or 0.2 per cent. The technology-heavy Nasdaq rose 0.3 per cent and is on track for a record. The Australian sharemarket is set to retreat, with futures at 5.10am AEST pointing to a loss of 52 points, or 0.6 per cent, at the open. The ASX lost 0.2 per cent on Thursday. The Australian dollar was fetching 64.33 US cents at 5.25am. Health care stocks were the biggest drag on the market after the White House released letters asking big pharmaceutical companies to cut prices and make other changes in the next 60 days. Eli Lilly & Co. fell 2 per cent, UnitedHealth Group slid 4.9 per cent and Bristol-Myers Squibb was 4.5 per cent lower. Roughly 70 per cent of stocks in the S&P 500 were losing ground, but big technology stocks with hefty values helped temper the impact of losses in health care and other sectors. Loading Technology stocks rose following results from big companies showcasing advancements in artificial intelligence. Facebook and Instagram's parent company Meta Platforms surged 11.9 per cent after it crushed Wall Street's sales and profit targets even as the company continues to pour billions into artificial intelligence.
