There’s nothing quite like walking out of the salon feeling like a million bucks, thanks to your shiny, bouncy blowout. And while achieving the same look at home isn’t easy, it’s not impossible if you have the right tools. In order to get amazing blowout hair at home (sans frizz), you’ll have to invest in quality hair tools. That’s where Dyson comes in.
Dyson hair tools are essentially the Rolls Royce of hair care tools. The innovative technology allows you to dry and style your hair in a fraction of the time you’re used to without extreme heat. And no extreme heat means significantly less, if any, hair damage. Not only that, but depending on which one you select, just one Dyson hair tool can replace an entire drawer full of blow dry brushes, hair straightener combs, curling irons and other tools taking up valuable real estate in your bathroom.
It’s true that Dyson hair tools are an investment. And yes, you can find cheap Dyson dupes all over the internet. But this is one instance where you’ll get exactly what you pay for. I would know, since I own all of Dyson’s hair products and have tried my fair share of dupes. And I assure you that the brand lives up to its hype. Between myself and three long-haired daughters, my Dyson tools get a lot of use. They also travel with me. Despite all of the wear and tear I undoubtedly put on them, it’s impressive how well they hold up. Now, do you need all of the tools? No. Depending on your hair and your lifestyle, one tool will suffice. Read on to find out which of Dyson’s hair tools is the best fit for you.

If you’re someone who changes up your style on a daily basis, then consider the Airwrap. This tool will give you silky straight tresses, bouncy curls or beachy waves, depending on which of the attachments you use. Carry it in the luxe storage case with six easy-to-swap attachments for every look. Just use the dryer attachment until your hair is about 70% dry, then style away using one of the brushes or barrels. It’s one of the Dyson hair tools that just about does it all.
Worried about getting a bunch of attachments you don’t need? Don’t be. Dyson offers three customized options. The first Airwrap includes attachments engineered for hair that’s longer than chest length. Choose between longer curling barrels, a large round volumizing brush and a wider smoothing brush. If you’re rocking short hair, there’s an Airwrap that includes six attachments, including shorter curling barrels, a regular volumizing brush and a small smoothing brush. And curly haired gals will want to select the curly hair Airwrap that comes with a diffuser.
It used to take me 40 minutes to style my hair with a blow dryer and a round brush, but since I tested the Dyson Airwrap for myself, it now takes me just 11 minutes with the innovative tool.

If a simple blowout is more your speed, then the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer is for you. Before the Dyson, it used to take me about 40 minutes to dry my hair. Now I can go from shower to styled in just under 20 minutes. It dries hair without extreme heat and cuts drying time by more than half.
This Supersonic is engineered for all hair types and includes five magnetic styling attachments. A styling concentrator leads to precise, controlled airflow while a wide-tooth comb helps with detangling and lengthening. A gentle air attachment provides a cooler airflow that’s ideal for sensitive scalps and fine hair, and a diffuser defines curls and eliminates frizz. Pesky flyaways won’t stand a chance with the flyaway attachment that leaves a smooth, shiny finish.

If sleek, straight tresses are your signature style, then Dyson’s newest hair tool was made just for you. The Airstrait dries, straightens and smooths at the same time. Instead of extreme heat or hot plates like a traditional straightener, the Airstrait has three pre-set temperatures and uses directional airflow to dry, smooth and align hair. The best part about this tool is that it works on wet or dry hair, so no more breaking out your hair dryer when you’re running late.

It’s no secret that heat and excessive tugging can cause serious damage to your hair, which is why you should use traditional straighteners and hair straightener brushes sparingly. But Dyson’s Corrale is not your traditional straightener. This cordless styler features flexing manganese copper alloy plates that shape around your hair and allow you to style with less heat (and less damage) than traditional straighteners. It only takes a few seconds to reach your set temperature.
Once you start styling, its intelligent heat control responds to the thickness, texture and length of your hair. It automatically regulates the temperature up to 100 times per second. You’ll never have to worry about burning your hair! That being said, you should still use a heat protectant to further minimize damage.
