Dyson's new Airwrap is now available to buy, and it's knocked $100 off the Airwrap i.d.
Dyson has finally launched its new Airwrap with a game-changing straightening attachment. The Airwrap Co-anda 2x is the brand's latest addition to its hairstyling line-up, and it's a pretty cool upgrade. Dubbed the "most powerful Dyson Airwrap multi-styler", it's lighter, more intelligent and you'll get six different attachments in your kit, depending on which hair type you pick. If you're going for Straight / Wavy, that includes the new AirSmooth2x that uses only air pressure (more on this later). For Curly / Coily, you'll get the Tension comb 2x attachment to stretch and smooth. The price? On you can now purchase the brand-new Airwrap for $699.99. And to celebrate the launch, Dyson has cut the price of last year's Airwrap i.d., now $100 off. So, if you were on the fence about grabbing an Airwrap, there's now two great reasons to think about taking the plunge. Dyson's new styler is powered by the new Hyperdymium 2 motor, which delivers twice the air pressure as the original model. And in true Dyson fashion, it's also incredibly quiet. Boasting 30% more power than the original, it's still just as quiet and comes with a smart compatible app to use alongside it. With each purchase, you get six attachments to achieve your desired look. The Dyson Airwrap i.d. is one of the brand's best-selling stylers, thanks to its versatility, ease of use and speed. It even has an Ai-auto-hair-curling settling that you can operate via your phone, automatically programming it to curl your hair. If you're looking for a stress-free way to style your hair, with $100 off, it's an excellent deal. I'm seriously impressed by the Dyson Co-anda 2x for many reasons (it's powerful, quiet and quick), but the one thing I'm really excited about is the straightening attachment – a new addition to the Airwrap range. The Airwrap's main rival, the Shark FlexStyle, has offered a similar straightening attachment since its launch, so it's a relief to see that Dyson is following suit. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. And it seems to be a whole lot smarter. Using the new Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) means you can automatically adjust the settings of each attachment to suit you. And then there's Dyson's smart app that works alongside the styler, which is, quite frankly, genius. You can set up your hair profile and use the advanced i.d. curl sequence to react to your movements, adjusting heat, airflow and timings to match your hair type. Depending on your hair type will depend which kit you go for, whether Straight / Wavy or Curly / Coily – each sold with different attachments to suit your style. As a premium product though, it comes with a premium price tag. Right now, you can grab the Airwrap i.d. for $200 less. But, I'll wait to reserve full judgment on whether the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x is totally worth it when we get our hands on it for a review in the coming weeks.

New Dyson Airwrap Coanda 2x Editor Review
I have legitimately tested hundreds of hair tools in my 12 years as a beauty editor, yet I always come back to my beloved Dyson Airwrap. I have been using the original Dyson Airwrap for Straight + Wavy Hair since 2022 (you can read my full review here), so when the brand announced to editors that they were launching a new version—the Dyson Airwrap Coanda 2x—I immediately had to get my hands on it. The new Airwrap isn't available to shop until July 8 on and but for now, you can check out my full review below for all the details, plus my thoughts on whether the new Airwrap is worth trying for yourself. Back in early June, I sat down with Dyson's top engineer to hear all about the new Airwrap and was honestly so impressed with the improvements to the tech. It's equipped with a new motor that's 30 percent more powerful and produces double the air pressure (hence the name Coanda 2x) than the original. What does that mean for you? Faster drying and styling, whether you want a bouncy blowout or a sleek look. (I can attest that this is true, more details below.) The new Airwrap Coanda 2x comes with six attachments that dry, curl, wave, straighten, smooth, and volumize depending on how you use them (per the brand, this is the only multistyler on the market that includes this many attachments with purchase). One of the attachments—the AirSmooth 2x—is entirely new. It reminds me of a mini Airstraight (Dyson's wet-to-dry straightening device) that can be used to smooth and straighten smaller sections of hair, like bangs or baby hairs. And like the previous iteration of the Airwrap, the Coanda 2x is compatible with the MyDyson app for a smarter styling experience based on your hair type and preferences. The Dyson Airwrap Coanda 2x comes in two colors—Ceramic Pink (a pale pink) and Jasper Plum (a dark metallic-ish purple)—and in sets for straight/wavy hair or curly/coily hair, so the set you buy will determine the exact styling attachments that you get. There are currently three Airwraps on the market—the original Dyson Airwrap, the Dyson Airwrap ID, and now the Coanda 2x. The new Coanda 2x looks pretty similar to the Airwap ID, but it feels more lightweight (the difference is definitely noticeable when holding the two versions side by side). The power of the motor is a key differentiator for the Coanda 2x as well. I was never able to use the old Airwrap to fully dry my hair (it took waaaaay too long), but with the new ones' upgraded motor, it truly works just as well as any other regular hair dryer I've tried. In addition to the new AirSmooth 2x attachment for smoothing and straightening, the Coanda 2x features a revamped paddle brush attachment (officially called the Anti-Snag Loop Brush 2x) that is designed to give you more control while styling, especially at your roots and ends. The curling wand attachments also have angular, square-shaped tips (as opposed to a rounded one) with the intent of being easier to grip when styling. See comparison pics here: I'd be remiss if I also didn't mention the price difference. The new Airwrap is Dyson's most expensive hair tool to date and costs $699.99. So $100 more than the original. Obviously $700 for a hair styling tool is WILDLY expensive, so I'll get into whether or not it's worth the price tag below. During my meeting with Dyson to learn about the new Airwrap, I was lucky enough to have celeb stylist and Dyson ambassador Matthew Collins style my hair with the device so I could learn the ins and outs. As expected, my hair looked incredible with the help of a pro. But to my surprise, I got the same smooth, bouncy effect when doing my hair at home. My hair is super frizz-prone, and with the old Airwrap I'd always have some flyaways after using the dryer attachment, but with the Coanda 2x I noticed a much smoother finish. I have fine hair, but it's long and I have a lot of it but the new Airwrap was able to fully dry my hair in seven minutes—something the older model could never do. The new Airwrap combines the benefits of a multistyler with the power of a real hair dryer, which is pretty major IMO. With my old Airwrap, I'd typically use the paddle brush and curling attachments most often, but with the new one, I find myself reaching for the round brush and new AirSmooth. The round brush bristles are updated on the new Airwrap, and they glide through my hair so easily without any pulling or tangling. And the new AirSmooth attachment is a must if you have frizz or flyaways like me. It's the perfect shape and size for maneuvering around your hairline and crown; I use it on face-framing pieces that need a little extra polishing and to calm down my annoying "post-partum bangs" that poke up by my temples. It's also great for quick touchups, so if I don't have time to blow dry my hair, I'll air dry and then go in with the AirSmooth to clean up frizzy spots. Overall, the new Airwrap Coanda 2x made styling my long hair easy, and I loved the lightness of the design too. So if you don't already own a Dyson Airwrap, I'd say the new model is worth it, no doubt. It works better than other multistylers I've tried and is suitable for all hair types and textures. It's also relatively gentle on hair thanks to smart sensors that measure and regulate heat and airflow. And the power of the motor, coupled with the revamped attachment, justifies the extra $100 IMO. But if you already own one of the older models and you like how it works, there's no reason to upgrade to the new Dyson Airwrap Coanda 2x (yet).
