We found the #1 alternative to the Dyson Airwrap in 2024.
Girls, I was close to shelling out $600 for a Dyson, but then I stumbled into these amazing alternative stylers.
I looked for alternative hair stylers that could dry, straighten, curl and keep our hair soft & voluminous without causing any heat damage. To my surprise, I was able to find a few devices that worked just as well - if not better - at a fraction of the price!
We tested 24 different hair stylers, including the Drybar, Dyson Airwrap, and Hairluxe. We rated the best five options based on the following criteria:
Results
We tested how well each Hair Styler straightened, curled, and dried hair without causing heat damage, ideally trying to get results in under 15 minutes. A few of the devices ended up working extremely well, delivering perfect, long lasting, salon-like blowouts.
Cost
If you were to buy the Dyson Airwrap, it would end up costing 600 dollars. We were able to find a few great alternatives with devices that ended up costing less than $300, with the best results from a styler costing just around $149*.
Safety
Los Angeles-based hairstylist Emma Taylor, considers all-in-one styling tools a game-changer. "These tools work by utilizing advanced heating technology that is adaptable to different hair types," Taylor explains. "In this case, the heat is distributed evenly, allowing you to dry, straighten, or curl your hair with a single device. The gentle heat settings protect your hair from damage, while still delivering salon-quality results at home. All-in-one devices offer similar benefits to professional salon tools, but at a fraction of the cost."
We looked for the Hair Styling options on the market that styled hair perfectly & were easy to use
A great device for at-home laser hair removal - it takes around 14-18 uses to stop unwanted hair growth. Tria is designed for more precise permanent hair removal as it does not include a glide-mode option.
Priced at $449.
Sessions are done weekly, with full results after 14-18.
Excellent for precise use, but difficult for broad areas like the arms & legs.

DryBar Styler

DryBar for us created the perfect look in minutes. The only cons of this brand is its reliance on heat for styling hair, which overtime may cause dryness & breakage of hair.
However, for an occasional, quick blowout, it has a fantastic result.
Not recommended for every day use, for styling hair often AirStyle™ & Dyson are the better choices.
Simple to use - it creates a salon blowout look without having to repitively use it on each strand.
