Dyson Air Wrap
- Thread starter sunflora
- Start date
I wasn't interested until I saw this video. I still want to see it on a coarser hair type.

Dyson knows how to make every tool look so good.

I would like to try it but I think I want to try the RevAir more. I looked on Dysons website it says it doesn't get hotter than 302 degrees which is nice. I didn't watch the video though to see how long it took her to straighten her hair.
I would have to use this every week though to justify the price and I'm not sure my hair could handle that even at 300 degrees

It was on QVC last week. I recorded the promo but barely watched it.
The Dyson rep said they have found that hair damage happens at I think 320 degrees so this dryer never goes over that to protect hair. Interesting.
I'd probably buy at $300.

Just scanned through the QVC promo I recorded. They didn't show anyone with natural hair, but they do have free returns until January 31st of next year if you don't like it. Still on the fence about it myself.

I'll have to watch a few videos before convincing myself but I'm half way there.
My only concern is the handle looks big and cumbersome so it could be quite difficult to use.
Eta: Watching the video I'm also concerned about the way that curler works. I'll only buy it if I feel I can use all of the attachments.

Granted I can't afford either of them, but the Revair seems better for my purposes. And less damaging too.
Elle did a review:

She passed it through that one section so many times I started getting anxiety. I don't spend that much time on a section with my $40 dryer. Maybe it's user error but that concerned me. Low heat or not, it's a lot of friction.
If it would take less time, I'd be more likely to consider at least trying it and returning if I didn't like. I would love to be able to blow out my hair without damage, and a good blow out leads to far less heat with a flatiron.

Yeah I felt the same. Too many passes through the one section of hair.
What people have to realise is you are not going to get flat iron straight results, the tool is simply not hot enough for that.
I’ve decided to buy it, but if I’m not happy with it in any way I’ll be returning it but I have until January to make up my mind which is long enough!

I await your reviews. I have fine 4a/4b hair so I'm concerned, but I would love to wear straighter styles.

Have we talked about Revair here? I really want to try this but I would like to know what’s going on in the barrel of that device. Do you know? Why do you feel it’s less damaging?

There isn't anything happening in the barrel. Do you mean does it have seams? It should feel about the same as the hose on your vacuum cleaner but smoother.
I plan to wait a year to see how future reviews go and see how long it last. If I reach bsb next year I plan to get one.

I saw it mentioned in another thread, but no thread of it's own. Far too bulky for my taste, I don't like the thought of sticking my hair in a vacuum cleaner.
The results speak for themselves though.From what I can see, there's no combs so no mechanical damage. It seems the hose attached acts as a receptacle for hair too long to fit in the barrel. The tension and air combined get the hair straight, just like if you pull a section of hair in your fist and blowdry with a diffuser - it can get pretty straight.

From what I read (and all the videos I've watched) the vacuum part provides the tension and the little bump part at the top of the wand is the heating device.
So while the vacuum suction happens, the heating centre is providing an even heat within the barrel to draw moisture from the hair. So the heat doesn't touch the hair directly, it's more like oven heat vs. iron heat and your hair is mainly stretched from the tension rather than the heat itself.
(If I lived in America I'd definitely get one. I'm going to wait and see if over time they can refine the design.)

I realllllllly want to try it out and see you if I can get (semi) silky hair with minimal heat and effort at home. But I def want to see more reviews first. Or like if I could just try it out at a salon or friends house lol don’t know if I’d make the big investment as I don’t typically straighten my hair often. Although of it was easy enough to do at home w no damage I might...

I emailed Dyson about why there's no type 4 representation for the blow dryer.
They suggested trying it at one of their showrooms or buying it and returning it if it doesn't work.
No apologies, of course.
Still interested but much more willing to wait to see someone else use it first.

If dont straighten my hair often either but this could allow me to rollerset more often. Rollersetting for me is at least 3 hours and its drying to my hair and my scalp. This way I could dry it and then rollerset it and be done in 2 hours or less. The blow dryer is way too drying for my hair to do it now.

The big clunky part is the vacuum yup.

I have been watching every video with the RevAir that has been posted by ladies with type 4 hair and I have to say that I am impressed.
I am definitely not one that blows my hair out often but I feel as if this dryer would substantially reduced my drying time and open up many other styling options. The price....well honestly my Pibbs and my FHI dryer were both about the same so that is not really an issue for me. I’m just going to wait patiently until closer to Christmas so I know I will use it when I get it. If I don’t like it...I will absolutely return it.

I had never heard of the RevAir until this thread. I'm more interested in it than the Dyson and it's cheaper.
I'm relaxed and have a good air-drying technique down, but I could probably use it for my 2 natural daughters. May have to think about getting it.

Maybe we can make this the Dyson and RevAir watch thread. As people get theirs hopefully they will come back and report.
I was thinking if I had the RevAir, I could wash my hair, blow it dry and put it up in a bun for tomorrow. But without something like that, I just need to wait until the weekend because it just takes too long to do my hair midweek unless I get off early.
