It took almost a year for the viral Dyson Air Strait to arrive in the Philippines. And now that it’s here, is it worth purchasing?
We witnessed this innovative hair styling tool in action last week where the Dyson team, along with an engineer, talked about the technology behind their latest product. Celebrity hairstylist Renz Pangilinan also did a few on-the-spot demonstrations on different hair types, sharing what features won him over. Here are the features that made an impression.
From towel-dry hair to gorgeous blow-dried tresses in a few minutes
With its advanced airflow technology, hair can now be dried and styled quickly and efficiently. You can now step out of your home with hair styled with extra oomph—faster. Its high-speed motor reduces drying time that gives way to faster styling and less heat exposure. And the most amazing feature? No hot plates involved!
Healthier, smoother, frizz-free hair
Its intelligent heat control technology keeps temperature settings at optimum level, effectively preventing heat damage. Negative ions are also emitted, reducing frizz and static that results in hair a smooth and shiny finish. Its Cool Shot function, applied as the final step, helps to set hair in place and lock in moisture.
For different hair types
We’ve seen it in action on various hair types—towel-dry to dry hair, and even curly hair. With two pre-set modes of wet and dry to choose from, Renz recommends using the wet mode to minimize heat exposure. Despite its maximum heat setting of 140C, it won’t damage your locks. Other noteworthy settings include low and high flow speed options, as well as root drying mode for targeted drying in specific areas.
Lightweight and ergonomic design
Expect this product to be meticulously crafted for user comfort. With its lightweight design of just 2.2 lbs., it reduces wrist and arm strain during use. The ergonomic design further enhances comfort, making it effortless and easy to use.
Easy to clean
The removable filter conveniently gathers and keeps dirt in one area. Simply detach the bottom filter, run it with lukewarm water, and allow it to air dry before putting it back. For cleaning the exterior surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away.
“Having a strong understanding of how to manipulate and realize the potential of powerful airflow is fundamental to the performance of the Dyson Airstrait™ straightener. This expertise, which we’ve gained over the last 25 years, is what has enabled us to deliver our first wet to dry straightener, with no hot plates, and no heat damage. Delivering the ease-of-use that people love about straighteners but with high-velocity air blades, saves time, maintains hair strength and achieves an everyday natural straight style,” adds the founder and chief engineer James Dyson.
If you’re looking for extra volume while maintaining a natural look, the Dyson Air Strait is designed to deliver just that—with a smooth, shiny, frizz-free finish.
