Dyson's new Airwrap styles your hair for you - thanks to AI and motion sensors
Dyson is one of the leading brands when it comes to tech, whether its home gadgets or beauty tools.
From the Airstrait to the Dyson Airwrap, there is no gizmo from the brand that disappoints. The aforementioned hair tools have sold out on numerous occasions due to popular demand, and there is a new kid coming to the block that we predict will have an equally successful outcome.
Dyson is set to launch the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x Multi-Styler and Dryer in September, which may seem like a while to wait – but it's worth it, believe us.
The multi-purpose hair tool boasts a powerful air flow powered by its Hyperdymium 2 motor that produces 30% more power and double the air pressure of the original Airwrap. The attachments are fitted with radio frequency identification, which enables the tool to adjust the settings to suit your hair type. It can be paired to the app to customise your hair styling session. The Airwrap Co-anda 2x is available in two sets Straight + Wavy or Curly + Coily both of which include six attachments and a carry case. BUY in september for £579.99
The Dyson Airwrap Co-Anda 2x has been designed with a new motor to make it easier and faster to dry, curl or straighten your hair in one full swoop.
What we love about the original Dyson Airwrap is it uses powerful air flow to dry and style the hair, which reduces the heat damage to your locks – always a bonus. This USP is not lost on the new iteration. In fact, the new model is fitted with a Hyperdymium™ 2 motor, which delivers twice the air pressure, so you can dry and style your hair even quicker than before, without any heat damage.
The other difference between the original and new Dyson Airwrap is this latest addition is smaller and lighter, which makes it easy to manoeuvre and control – another clever feature those who are not so au fait with hair styling will appreciate.
The Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x Multi-Styler and Dryer is equally as multifunctional as the original. It is a six-in-one tool that can dry your locks, as well as curl, create beach waves, straighten, smooth, and volumise your tresses.
A new feature is its radio frequency identification (RFID), which means the attachments automatically adjust to suit your hair type and style, so you can trust this tool has been designed with your hair health in mind.
The Airwrap 2x also boasts glass bead thermistors for intelligent heat control. This design feature measures the air temperature, and aims to keep that temperature stable for user protection.
The Airwrap 2x is app compatible, so you can programme your settings with one-touch ID curl technology for a customised experience.
Speaking about the new creation, James Dyson – founder and chief engineer – shared: 'Dyson has developed a new motor for our new Airwrap2x™, which spins at 150,000rpm, delivering twice the air pressure, faster drying and less heat damage. The high pressure creates a longer lasting curl or straighter styles. Traditional stylers can damage hair, but we have always focused on developing tools that protect hair health whilst enhancing without compromising precision and or performance. We harness our expertise in motors, fluid dynamics, and materials to continually improve. New attachments like the AirSmooth2x™ create sleek looks, and the patented bristles on the Anti-snag Loop Brush 2x create snag-free styling, all while AI-driven sensors adjust heat to protect your hair. It's about creating exciting long-lasting styles using with smarter, more efficient technology.'
The tool can fit nine styling attachments, though in the UK this is divided into Straight and Wavy set, as well as the curly and Coily set, both of which come with six attachments that are housed in a stunning case. More Trending
The Straight and Wavy st includes a 30mm Co-anda 2x curling barrel as well as 40mm size, an anti-snag loop brush, round volumising brush, AirSmooth attachment and fast dryer. The Curly + Coily set features similar attachments, including the 40m Co-anda curling barrel, anti-snag loop brush, round volumising brush, fast dryer, as well as a tension comb, and Wave + Curl diffuser.
Owners can also explore a range of standalone attachments to complement their set: the 20mm Co-anda2x™ curling barrel, 30mm Co-anda 2x™ curling barrel, AirSmooth2x™, Wave+Curl diffuser 2x and Tension comb 2x.
The Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x Multi-Styler and Dryer will be available in ceramic pink and jasper plum colours, both of which will retail for £579.99.

I don't want to buy a home — and it's nothing to do with money
When 24-year-old Piper Phillips moved to New York City, she knew one thing would be true: she wouldn't be buying a home. At the moment, Piper doesn't have any desire to get on the property ladder in the Big Apple. She's largely accepted that, for the career opportunities it affords her, she's happy to foot the bill to live in a prime location. 'Homeownership is the American Dream, and it's been shoved down our throats for as long as we can remember,' Piper, a full-time content creator and digital entrepreneur, tells Metro, noting that her priorities are her 'career' and 'lifestyle.' At the moment, Piper and her boyfriend live in a one-bedroom flat in Manhattan. It costs them $5,000 (£3,727.42), with Piper contributing $2,000 (£1,490.97) towards the monthly payment. And while the couple are now looking for a two-bedroom apartment so that she can have her own home office, and have increased their budget to do so, they're not looking to buy. 'I'm paying for my life in New York City, and that's worth it because I enjoy it. The high rent in NYC is your membership you use to be able to live in the city that has the best opportunities for your career in the world,' she adds. You can access completely fee-free mortgage advice with London & Country (L&C) Mortgages, a partner of Metro. Customers benefit from: – Award winning service from the UK's leading mortgage broker – Expert advisors on hand 7 days a week – Access to 1000s of mortgage deals from across the market Unlike many mortgage brokers, L&C won't charge you a fee for their advice. Find out how much you could borrow online Mortgage service provided by London & Country Mortgages (L&C), which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (registered number: 143002). The FCA does not regulate most Buy to Let mortgages. Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. Piper also loves the 'freedom' of being able to try out new places, in a similar way that many young Londoners do, too. 'Living in New York is so fun, you get to explore new neighbourhoods and that really just marks different chapters of your life,' she reflects. 'I do love the fresh energy of coming into a new place. When my toilet breaks or something happens, I just call my repair person, and they come and fix it for me. It's incredible.' She feels that there's a hidden luxury to renting, as she wouldn't be able to afford to buy the type of home she's living in. In fact, she'd rather just rent and 'not deal with the hassle.' 'I don't think that homeownership is the same badge of approval or stamp of success as it was once was,' she says. 'It used to mean that you were stable, but rent is so expensive in these metropolitan cities, it is more glamorous and sometimes, it's equally as impressive to live where you want, even if you're renting.' This isn't just an NYC thing: many in the UK have similar sentiments. While her friends around her rush to get on the property ladder, 25-year-old Kathryn Loosley still isn't convinced. Kathryn loves her life in London, and though she's currently paying £1,100 for her room in Tooting, she's not sure if buying is entirely worth it. 'My boyfriend and I want the freedom to move around. We'll really need to think hard about whether it's worth it or not,' Kathryn tells Metro, noting that seeing her peers struggles to buy have put her off. Kathryn says that renting currently affords her a decent amount of disposable income, which gives her the freedom to enjoy her lifestyle 'without feeling the financial burden of homeownership,' something she feels is important for 20-somethings. 'We're tied into rent as you would be with a mortgage, but we don't have any overheads in repairs. We know what's going out each month and can allocate the rest to enjoying London, whether that's eating out, fitness classes, or escaping for a European weekend break,' she adds. 'I'm so happy we're not being tied into a house at this age.' According to a survey conducted by SpareRoom in March 2025, while 62% of under-30s expect that they will buy a property at some point in their lives, 11% don't think they will. And, amid the uncertainty – and inaccessibility – of the housing market, 28% are unsure either way. For much of the younger generations, plain 'hard work' isn't enough anymore. While grandparents recall stories of saving up for a house relatively quickly, prospective homeowners these days are often having to rely on the Bank of Mum and Dad, a privilege that those from working-class families often cannot access. Breaking from the debate entirely, though, is a group of people who, like Kathryn, don't want to buy a home at all and refuse to buy into the idea that homeownership is the ultimate housing goal. Of those who feel they won't ever get on the property ladder, SpareRoom's findings showed that 11% actively said that they prefer renting, while 15% need the flexibility to move at short notice, So, why is the UK so obsessed with the holy grail of homeownership in the first place? In 2021, one YouGov study suggested that owning isn't universally valued globally. While 62% of Britons said that it was a goal they'd already accomplished, it was hardly a number one priority in places like Germany, where housing policy has often encouraged people to rent. Here, two in five (42%) had no intention of buying at all. Dr Marc Schelhase, a lecturer in the Defence Studies Department at King's College London, explains that the British fixation on home ownership is actually a relatively recent development. After the Second World War, government housing policy focused on universal access to quality housing where communities could thrive – seen in the vision of the prefab homes, many of which were given as social housing to returning soldiers. Then came Right to Buy under Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s, which saw tenants in social housing encouraged to buy their own homes. And of course, the many challenges of the UK rental system have some people desperate avoid landlords. The Renters' Rights Bill is designed to make things better for tenants, but it's been in the works for years and won't become law until 2026. Focusing on ownership isn't always a helpful mindset though, as it can distract from the government's responsibility to build and maintain social housing – and potentially underplay the idea that some renters might just not be interested in buying. We just need a fair rental market that works. As Marc von Grundherr, director of Benham and Reeves, tells Metro, it's an increasing trend we're seeing in renters – and it's not just Gen Z, but a number of demographics. More Trending 'Flexibility has become a significant priority, with many choosing to rent as it offers the freedom to relocate for career opportunities or personal reasons without the commitment and potential restrictions that come with owning a property,' Marc shares. And while getting on the property ladder is generally interpreted as a positive financial commitment, Marc feels that not everyone sees it that way. 'With the cost of living, inflation, and the unpredictability of the housing market, some see renting as a way to maintain financial fluidity and avoid long-term debt,' he concludes. 'This trend isn't restricted to younger generations either; we're seeing it across a range of age groups, from professionals who value mobility, to those nearing retirement, who want to avoid the financial burdens that often accompany homeownership.'

The 'salon quality' hair dryer that 'gives Dyson a run for its money' now 50% less
Don't miss this limited time deal. A decent hair dryer is an essential in the daily life of any beauty fan. For those who don't want to invest the big bucks on a Shark or Dyson, then there's many other affordable alternatives. One brand that often provides "salon quality results" on a budget is BaByliss, with the Platinum Hair Dryer and Diffuser Set a huge hit with Amazon shoppers - and it's currently a steal at half-price. This professional hair tool would usually set shoppers back £65. However, the online delivery firm has currently slashed it to a much more affordable £32.49, but the deal will only be around for a limited time, so we'd advise acting fast. Combining a professional 2300W AC motor and a powerful airflow, this hair dryer is said to offer an "ultra fast" drying time, with some beauty fans saying that it takes "less than 10 minutes." Diamond infused ceramic and super ionic technology work together to eliminate static and frizz, all while providing that sought-after shine, leaving hair sleek, smooth and glossy every time. BaByliss Platinum Diamond Hair Dryer & Diffuser £65 £32.49 Amazon Buy here Product Description The styling tool is completed with three heat and two speed settings, alongside a true cold shot. Meanwhile, the added diffuser is ideal for enhancing natural curly hair types, providing that effortless bounce and volume. Amazon is not the only retailer offering impressive deals, as we have noticed that Boots has slashed the cost of this Enigma Precision Hair Dryer, complete with multiple attachments, from £199.9 to £99.99 - saving £100 overall. Over at Argos, another budget-friendly option that can still provide those salon results from home is this Remington PROluxe Hair Dryer with Diffuser that is priced at £37.49. Back to the BaByliss Hair Dryer, as it has been singled out as an 'Amazon Choice' product with a 4.6 rating based on over 4,000 reviews from shoppers who have said it provides "true salon quality" and "gives Dyson a run for its money." A happy customer said: "Truly salon quality, makes my long hair shine and less frizzy! My hair - 70cm in length - can be easily dried with this amazing hair dryer within 20 mins. The best!" Someone else remarked: "I bought this hair dryer for my wife who says it's 'amazing'. Compared to her older model bought over a decade ago, this was more powerful, instant heat, quieter and makes her hair look and feel silky smooth." Beauty deal of the week Get multiple benefits for the skin by taking advantage of this 53 percent discount on the unique L'Oreal Paris serum. The firm's breakthrough Age Defying Serum Le Duo provides the benefits of two serums in just one pump, being the only bottle on the market to target firmness, radiance and the appearance of wrinkles. Right now, it can be yours for just £17.95 when bought on Amazon. Since a 30ml bottle usually retails £37.99, it offers an incredible £20 saving - but the deal will only be around for a limited time. This dual-function serum has been hailed as "a breakthrough innovation from L'Oréal labs", with the beloved brand suggesting it has been clinically proven to "reverse up to five years of wrinkles." In one chamber, there is a collagen Peptide Booster to rebuild firmness and smooth out wrinkles, while the other boasts powerhouse vitamins B3 and C to reignite radiance and even out skin tone. Said to be suitable for all skin types, even sensitive, this serum has been lauded for its "non greasy" texture that doesn't leave any residue on the skin or cause that dreaded 'pilling' when combined with other skincare products. Boasting a 4.3 rating in total, one review read: "A second satisfied customer said: "This serum is a game-changer! It leaves my skin feeling hydrated, smoother, and visibly radiant. A luxurious treat that's worth every drop." Don't miss Amazon's 53 percent discount on the Age Defying Serum Le Duo (30ml) that is now £17.95, down from £37.99. Another pleased shopper added: "Very powerful hairdryer and great for bringing out my natural curls without the frizz in under 10 minutes. "The recommended setting is only slightly warm but at least it doesn't cause heat damage. Very pleased and would highly recommend." A few reviews have found the hair dryer to be quite heavy during styling time, with one three-star review reading: "Good product and quality but it's too heavy and every now and then I have to stop to dry my hair as my arm hurts." Someone who compared it to Dyson raved: "The best hairdryer I have purchased. Gives Dyson a run for their money and in comparison it's a tenth of the price. Great control of temperature and power." The BaByliss Platinum Hair Dryer and Diffuser Set is now half-price at £32.4 on Amazon now.

Entering this transformation with a clear artistic vision and determination to unlock the space's full potential, Daniel has actualised timeless character and sophisticated charm into his living space. Determined to give the 'awkward extension' of her home a real meaning, Kirstie stripped the space back to its bare brick before transforming it into a thoughtfully designed playroom for her two children. She took on the panelling and painting herself, then carefully styled the room to ensure it could evolve as her children grow, knowing its role will naturally shift over time. Bursting with colour and charm, the space features a cosy gold velvet tee-pee set atop a lively, harlequin-patterned rug. Now full of life, this transitional space in the Waterston home has found an identity, balancing vibrant energy with a refined sense of purpose. This transformation doesn't just upgrade the aesthetic of Leekim Stewart's bedroom window, it significantly enhances the room's functionality, comfort, and sense of personality. What was once a plain and underutilised wall has been reimagined into a warm, characterful focal point that perfectly balances form and function. Keeping the natural light as the star of the show, the installation of the seating and shelving units creates the ultimate pink reading nook. With the intention of seamlessly blending practicality with personality, Leekim has delivered a transformation that feels both curated and effortless.
