Is the Airwrap i.d. HS08 worth it over a curling iron?

If you style often and want less heat damage plus drying and smoothing in one tool, yes. If you want tight curls that hold all day, a curling iron does that more reliably.

How is it different from the original Airwrap?

It adds the MyDyson app with a personal hair profile and a timed i.d. curl sequence, plus the anti-snag loop brush in this set. The Coanda airflow and barrel design carry over.

Does it work on short hair?

It works best on mid-length to long hair. Very short cuts give the barrels little to wrap, though the dryer and smoothing attachments still help.

Do I need the app to use it?

No. All attachments work on their own with the three heat and three airflow settings. The app only adds the timed curl routine and profile.

The styler, a large round volumizing brush, a conical Airwrap barrel, a 1.6-inch long barrel, a Dryer+Flyaway smoother, a fast dryer and an anti-snag loop brush.

What voltage does it use?

It is rated for 220–240 V input, so it is built for those regions and needs a converter elsewhere.

About the Dyson Airwrap i.d. HS08 Straight+Wavy Multi-Styler and Dryer

Create curls, waves, volume and smooth finishes with the Dyson Airwrap i.d. HS08 Straight+Wavy Multi-Styler and Dryer. This six-attachment set includes two curling barrels, an Anti-snag loop brush and a Dryer+Flyaway smoother for styling straight and wavy hair.

Connect through Bluetooth to the MyDyson app to create your personal hair profile and configure the i.d. curl sequence. The styler automatically times the wrapping, styling and cold-shot stages for a personalized curling routine.

Coanda airflow attracts and wraps hair around the curling barrel. Three heat settings and three airflow speeds provide styling control, while intelligent heat control monitors air temperature during use. A cold shot helps set your finished style.

The set includes the Dyson Airwrap i.d. styler and six styling attachments:

Large round volumizing brush: Adds body and volume while shaping hair as it dries.

Conical Airwrap barrel: Creates defined curls, with a tapered shape that allows styling closer to the roots.

Dryer+Flyaway smoother: Offers drying and smoothing modes. Use the smoothing mode on dry, straightened hair to help hide flyaways.

1.6-inch Airwrap long barrel: Creates loose curls and waves in either direction, with a longer barrel designed for longer hair.

Fast dryer: Pre-dries wet hair to prepare it for styling.

Anti-snag loop brush: Helps produce a smooth blow-dry finish, with bristles designed for scalp comfort and reduced snagging.
