If you like the idea of an Airwrap but not the Dyson premium, there are now several multi-stylers that use airflow to wrap, curl and smooth. Shark's FlexStyle range and Dreame's AirStyle models are the main rivals, with Clara offering a simpler set. They are not identical copies. Some add tools Dyson charges extra for, like a diffuser in the standard box, while others drop the smaller barrel or the smoothing dryer. This guide compares the curlers each one includes, the smoothing and straightening tools, the wattage and the Airwrap feature each one does without. Everything comes from the listings, and where a size or setting is missing we say so.
