Dyson Airstrait Straightener vs Burberry Men Spray
These are not substitutes: the Dyson Airstrait is a $209.99 hair tool (ShopSimon, as of October 28) and the Burberry Men Spray is a $24.32 eau de toilette (Walmart, as of October 28). Buy the Airstrait if you want to dry and straighten wet hair in one step without hot plates. Buy the Burberry spray if you want an inexpensive, travel-size men's cologne. Price alone should not decide this pair; the use case should.

Questions and answers
- Which is better for straightening hair?
- The Dyson Airstrait. It is built for that job, using airflow instead of hot plates. The Burberry spray is a cologne and does nothing for hair.
- Which is cheaper?
- The Burberry Men Spray at $24.32 at Walmart as of October 28, versus $209.99 for the Airstrait at ShopSimon as of October 28.
- Is the Airstrait worth the extra money?
- Only if you will use it regularly. It replaces a blow-dryer and flat iron for many users, but it costs about eight times the cologne.
- Does the Airstrait work on thick hair?
- Yes. Dyson lists all hair types including thick hair, and the airflow sensor adjusts volume when hair is not between the arms.
- Can I travel with the Burberry spray?
- Yes. It is sold in travel size. The Airstrait is corded and not dual voltage, so it is not a travel tool.
- How do the ratings compare?
- The Airstrait has 4.6 out of 5 from 27,000 ratings. The Burberry spray has 4.3 out of 5 from 311 ratings, a much smaller sample.
