Using the Dyson Airstrait straightener has genuinely transformed my morning routine. As someone who needs to look polished for work, managing my hair quickly and efficiently is paramount, and this device fits the bill perfectly.
As a device that combines the functionality of drying and straightening in one, it promises a no-heat damage solution with its innovative use of air instead of traditional hot plates. Check out the video below on how I use the Dyson Airstrait!
Design and Aesthetics
The Dyson Airstrait I am using is in an eye-catching Prussian Blue/Rich Copper colour scheme, adding a touch of elegance to a well-crafted device.
Its sleek, intuitive design is not just for show; the usability factor is also significant, with features such as an LCD screen that displays airflow and temperature settings.
Wet to Dry Straightening
One of the most standout features for me is the wet-to-dry straightening capability. Before I had the Airstrait, I used to spend a significant amount of time drying my hair before even thinking about straightening it. Now, I can step out of the shower, towel dry my hair to remove excess moisture, and begin straightening almost immediately. It’s not just about saving time; it’s also about the ease with which I can achieve a sleek, smooth look.
In the morning, I will switch on the “Wet” Mode, to dry AND straighten my hair. The Airstrait has three temperature settings (80°C, 110°C, and 140°C), which I find incredibly useful. I usually set it to 110°C. Depending on the humidity or my hair’s particular needs that day, I can adjust the temperature accordingly. The LCD screen on the device makes it easy to see my settings at a glance, which helps a lot when I’m in a hurry.
After the straightening is done, I also like to blast my hair with cold air to ensure the shine and straightness stay locked in. The intuitive airflow technology also adds to the ease of use. The Airstrait automatically adjusts the airflow when it detects hair between the arms and reduces it when not in use, making the straightening process quieter and more energy-efficient. Plus, the auto-pause feature is a great safety bonus; if I need to rush to answer the phone or the door, I don’t have to worry about leaving the straightener on.
FTEAirflow Technology
Dyson’s proprietary technology shines with the Hyperdymium motor, which powers an impressive airflow system capable of handling 11.9 litres per second. This feature ensures even and efficient drying and straightening, minimizing heat damage and preserving the hair’s natural shine.
The Airstrait is equipped with several safety features, including an auto-pause function that halts operation after three seconds of inactivity. This feature is crucial for preventing any unintended heat buildup. Additionally, the PRCD (Portable Residual Current Device) plug enhances safety by monitoring the electrical current, especially vital when the device is used near water. This is especially important for me as I use my straightener in the shower.
Overall, the Dyson Airstrait has made styling my hair for work each morning not just quicker but also more enjoyable.
The efficiency of straightening my hair while drying it, combined with the peace of mind from its safety features, allows me to start my day with one less thing to worry about. It’s a game-changer in my daily routine.
