I review haircare for a living and these are the Dyson Airwrap alternatives I'd recommend
By Lizzie Wilmot,

There's no doubt that the Dyson Airwrap is the most sought after hair styler within the beauty industry. Originally launched in 2018, the tool captured the attention of many due to its innovative Coanda technology. For once, a brand decided to concentrate on hair health by reducing the reliance on heat, and people loved it.
There also isn't any doubt that the Dyson Airwrap is eye-wateringly expensive. It can even be quite difficult to hunt one down, especially if you're after a specific colour – don't even get me started on the pink and rose gold version.
With this in mind, I made it my mission to wade through the world of hair stylers and hunt down the best Dyson Airwrap alternatives. I've tried each and every one of the models on this list, and can confidently say there will be an option that works for you. Why don't you take a look?
1. Shark FlexStyle

If you haven't come across the Shark FlexStyle before, where have you been? It is the most expensive Airwrap alternative on this list, but it uses incredibly similar technology to the Airwrap, and some argue it's even better.
The handle is split into two parts that swivel and click into place so you can easily switch from a dryer to a styler – something the Dyson doesn’t do. It also comes with various attachments to smooth, straighten, curl, define, and volumise hair, including a Curl-Defining Diffuser (another thing that the Airwrap doesn’t offer).
Most people prefer the look of the Airwrap and find the FlexStyle on the bulkier side, but it all comes down to taste. Read our full Shark FlexStyle review for a more in-depth analysis.
The BondiBoost Everlast Airstyler is the most recent alternative I've been trying out, and I've certainly been impressed so far. Designed to provide an 'everlasting range of styles', the it's able to dry, wave, curl and smooth a variety of hair types and textures.
The Airstyler comes with five ceramic-coated attachments which evenly heat the hair to lock in long-lasting styles. Whilst these attachments get really hot in the process, ceramic is purposefully used to add shine and reduce frizz, helping to maintain healthy hair for as long as possible.
I would say it's more suited for short to medium hair, especially as the barrels are on the thinner side. However, for £300 cheaper, it's definitely a strong alternative to go with.
The Parwin Pro Beauty 4-in-1 Air Styler is a multifunctional hair tool that can be used as a hairdryer, hair curler, hair dryer brush, round hair brush, blow dry hair brush, and straightening brush. Sounds a little familiar, right?
Its intelligent heat control feature measures the heat of the airflow up to 100 times per second and ensures temperature and air distribution for even drying, so you don't have to worry about extreme heat damage.
Like the Dyson Airwrap, a powerful stream of air flows out of the the curler attachment and continuously forms an airflow around it, ensuring hair automatically sticks to the surface. It has really similar results to the Airwrap, and I was impressed with how long the curls lasted as well.
Multiple functions are combined in one excellent, practical styling set, so you can achieve various beautiful hairstyles efficiently and save time.
The BaByliss Air Style 1000 is a powerful 1000W hot air styler which includes four styling attachments to dry, smooth, shape and curl. It also features a smoothing ionic system that releases frizz-controlling ions for a high-shine finish, whichever attachment you choose.
It comes with 1 x Hot Air Styler handle, 1 x 50mm volumising brush, 1 x Blow-dry brush, 1 x Conical curling attachment, 1 x Drying nozzle, 1 x Heat glove and an Instruction Booklet.
Unlike the Dyson Airwrap, the BaByliss Air Style 1000 doesn't auto-rotate. However, for nearly £430 cheaper, it's a great option if you're looking for an affordable styling tool that offers a lot.
If you’re on a tight budget, this Revlon air styler is the most affordable in this list. However, it only comes with three interchangeable attachments for drying, volumising and curling. That being said, the vented curling barrel uses airflow to prevent hair from being damaged, which is great to see in such an affordable styler.
There's also the option to buy more attachments, including a paddle brush head and round brush head.
