Dyson Airwrap i.d. Curly+Coily: 6-in-1 with app

One-touch curls and the hair profile

Through the app you create a personalised styling profile, and the Airwrap i.d. stores your wrap, style and cold shot settings. Dyson says this gives consistent curls each time, because the timing is no longer down to counting in your head.

The feature depends on pairing with the app; without it, you would be styling manually like any other Airwrap.

Six functions for textured hair

Dyson lists dry, curl, wave, shape, stretch and diffuse. Stretching is useful for coily hair that shrinks when dry, and diffusing helps define natural curls. The listing does not name each attachment on this page, and the spec table only mentions a concentrator, so check the box contents on arrival.

There are three heat settings and a cold shot that switches off the heating element for cooler air to set the style.

Power, weight and long hair

Rated power is 1,300 W, the same as the straight and wavy Airwrap i.d., with three speeds. The listed weight is 640 g. Barrel sizes are not given here, so it is not possible to say from the listing how well it handles very long curls compared with Dyson's 40 mm barrel models.

The spec table lists coily and curly as the hair types, which makes the intended user clear. Anyone with waist-length coils may want to confirm the barrel sizes with Dyson before buying, since longer sections need more barrel surface to wrap fully.

Curly+Coily against the FlexStyle IonCurl and Shark Glam

The Shark FlexStyle IonCurl includes a curl-defining diffuser, two 32 mm curlers and 200 million ions, at 1,750 W, and Shark lists it for all hair types. The Shark Glam HD6051 adds ceramic Silki and Glossi tools plus a diffuser. The Dyson is the option for app-saved curl timing tailored to textured hair.
