What is the difference between this and the standard Airwrap?

The Long version has longer barrels, made for hair past the shoulders. The standard barrels suit shorter hair and give tighter control near the roots.

Does it work on all hair types?

It works best on hair that is damp and roughly 80 percent dry. Very fine or very straight hair holds curls less well; thick or coarse hair may need smaller sections and a cool shot to set.

Do I use it on wet hair?

Start on towel-dried hair, not soaking wet. The dryer and smoothing brushes can be used on damp hair, and curls set better when hair is nearly dry.

Will the curls last all day?

Results vary. Many owners get soft waves that hold, but fine hair often needs a cool shot and a light hold product to keep the shape.

What comes in the box?

The set includes the styler and its attachments, typically barrels for curling and waving plus brushes for smoothing and volumizing. Check the listed attachments for the exact set.

Is it worth it over a curling iron?

If you want less heat, more shine and blowout volume, many owners say yes. If you only want tight, long-lasting curls, a curling iron does that for far less.

Our take on the Dyson HS05 Airwrap Multi-Styler (Long)

The Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler (Long) is a hot-air styling tool that curls, waves, smooths and dries using the Coanda effect, which wraps hair around the barrel on a fast jet of air instead of a hot plate. The Long version has longer barrels aimed at hair past the shoulders. It suits people who want volume and shape without clamping hair between hot surfaces, and it costs far more than a curling iron or a brush-dryer. Owners like the shine and the reduced heat; many say curls loosen over time and the tool takes practice to master.
