The Dyson Airwrap is one of the best and most popular hair styling devices on the market right now. If you are looking for some inspiration to create incredible hairstyles, here are a few choices, as well as some tips to get the best out of your Airwrap.
Retro Blowout
The Dyson Airwrap is easily one of the best tools you can use to create classic hairstyles. The retro blowout is perfect for those who want tons of volume, gentle curls, and an amazing flicked-out finish that is ideal for work or a night on the town.
Using the round volumizing brush and the curling barrel, you can create an amazing retro blowout in a few minutes with next to no effort.
Curly Blowout
If you are looking for something extra glamorous, try a curly blowout. Packed with bounce and exceptional curls and waves, this style is ideal for work events, date nights, and almost everything in between.
Getting this look is super simple; all you need to do is add some mouse to damp hair, then use the 30mm or 40mm barrel, with high heat, to curl. Hold for 10-15 seconds, and then apply a cold shot to set the look.
Mermaid Waves
If you want something low-effort and super-easy to create, but still fun and stylish, then you may want to try mermaid waves. We all know that “fresh out of the ocean” look you can get, but having to do that every day is clearly not possible.
Instead, apply mousse to your damp hair, and then section off smart parts of your hair. Using the 30mm or 40mm barrel, heat these small sections for 10-15 seconds and then hit them with a cold shot before releasing. Another pro tip is to leave the ends out when curling for a more modern look.
90s Straight Blowout
One of the most popular and well-known things to come out of the Friends series was Jennifer Aniston’s hairstyle. It was chic, stylish, had just the right amount of volume, and was a look that would suit almost anyone.
Similar to the retro blowout, you can follow the same process, and simply adjust how much flick and volume you have to suit your needs.
Smooth C-Curls
Made popular in Korea and now a look loved around the world, creating a smooth C-curl style is far easier than you may think. All you need to remember is that the curls face inwards, and use high heat and airflow to curl small sections of hair.
Styling Tips
Now that you know a few of the best hairstyles to try, here are some styling tips to ensure your hair looks the best it can every time.
Optimal Moisture
First off, you need to ensure your hair has the right level of moisture. Moisture is needed for two reasons: first, moist hair is easier to style and reacts better to heat, curling, straightening, etc.
The second reason is that moist hair holds product better. One mistake many people make is applying too much product to compensate for a lack of moisture. Instead, make sure your hair is damp, but not soaking wet.
Use Product
Speaking of products, they are a must if you want to create a hairstyle that keeps its shape and bounce throughout the day. Once again, it is always better to use less than you think, as you can always add more, but you can’t take any away without restarting.
Mousse is always a great option for most hair types and lengths, but if you have very thick or curly hair, lightweight products, like hair sprays and gels, will also work. However, remember to use them sparingly.
Avoid Oils
Another mistake to avoid is using oil-based hair products. The main draw of the Airwrap is that it creates a lot of bounce and body in your hair, and oil will not only make that bounce disappear, but depending on your hair, you may not get any to begin with.
The best course of action is to avoid oil-based products. If you do need them for a particular reason, use as little as possible.
Don’t Rush
The Airwrap doesn’t create hairstyles instantly, and rushing the process will only lead to disappointing results. Instead, take your time; it is a tried-and-tested gadget that works when you let it.
Clean the Filter/Airwrap
Much like any other device, to get the most out of it, you need to keep it clean. The filter on the Airwrap can get dirty and clogged, and therefore you should clean it before each use, or at least once a week.
Also, be sure to clean the entire device. This is especially important if you use product, as it can cause clogs and dirt to gather over time.
In conclusion, these are a few of the best hairstyles and tips to remember to get the most out of your Airwrap. Considering how easy they are to create, it is simple to try out a few and see what works best for you and your look.
