Figuring out if the Dyson Airstrait™ is worth the high price really depends on what you want from a hair styling tool, especially if you have curly hair.
According to our research, the Airstrait shines because it uses controlled hot air, not heated plates. This is great for reducing heat damage, which matters to a lot of folks. It's designed to work with different hair types, including curly hair.
But heads up, if you're aiming for that ultra-sleek, straight look you get with a flat iron, the Airstrait might not quite nail it. It usually leaves your hair looking naturally straight with a bit of volume. This can be great for a more everyday vibe if you aren't into the stick-straight thing.
We found that people with really tight curls or frizz sometimes still use a regular straightener after the Airstrait to get that super smooth finish, especially if they want no waves or curls showing.
One slight drawback is its effectiveness near the roots and especially curly ends. Because of its design, it might not style as close to the scalp as some people would like, and you might need a few extra passes on stubborn ends. To get the best results, it helps to use a heat protectant and section your hair carefully.
If you're all about reducing heat damage and going for a healthy-looking, natural straight style, the Dyson Airstrait could be a solid investment.
But if you're after that super sleek, poker-straight look and have really curly hair, you might still want to keep a regular straightener on hand.
In the end, it's about weighing what you want style-wise against keeping your hair healthy and your budget. If the Airstrait fits the bill for you, it might be worth it.
