Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler and dryer vs. Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer – a comparison of two iconic Dyson machines

Drying, curling, smoothing and hiding flyaways is all possible with Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler and dryer. Engineered for different hair types, lengths and styles, this all-in-one tool is a favorite among those who like to switch up their looks frequently.

The most awarded hair multi-styler,¹ Dyson Airwrap™ comes with a variety of magnetic attachments designed to help you achieve your perfect style. These include dryers to prepare and finish, barrels of various sizes to curl and wave, and re-engineered brushes to shape and smooth.

It’s the only multi-styler to have a total of 18 unique attachments, in a variety of sizes and lengths. Each one is compatible with all generations of the machine.

The standout feature of Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler and dryer is its ability to use the Coanda effect to style hair. This phenomenon harnesses a continuous flow of air to attract and wrap hair around the barrels and brushes – creating straight, curly and voluminous styles without extreme heat.

A 13-blade impeller spins at up to 110,000rpm, generating 3.2kPa of air pressure. Powerful enough to produce the air pressure needed for the Coanda effect – harnessed by our attachments to curl, shape and hide flyaways.

Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler and dryer measures airflow temperature over 40 times a second, intelligently controlling the heating element to keep the temperature under 302°F (150°C). Preventing extreme heat damage.

The multi-functional 2-in-1 Coanda smoothing dryer has been re-engineered to harness Coanda in both directions to achieve a sleek and smooth finish. And all barrels now allow you to easily switch curl direction as you style.

Enhanced Coanda increases control, saves time and focuses airflow – to help you create the looks you love.

Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler and dryer is perfect if you enjoy experimenting with different hairstyles and want a tool that offers versatility. If you like to switch between straight, curly, and wavy looks frequently, or if you simply want to add volume and texture to your hair, Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler and dryer could be the ideal choice.

Traditional hair dryers often have a weak airflow and are powered by bulky motors.  But fast drying without extreme heat is what Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer does best.

Known for its sleek, modern design and ergonomic build, the original Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer is compact and cylindrical with the motor located in the handle. The machine is lightweight and provides a balanced and comfortable grip.

At the heart of the machine, this small but powerful motor produces a high-pressure, high-velocity jet of controlled air. Its 13-blade impeller spins at up to 110,000rpm. Combined with Air Multiplier™ technology, the Digital V9 motor delivers fast drying and precision styling. 

Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer comes with magnetic attachments that cater to your distinct styling requirements and to all hair types. These include the Diffuser, Gentle air attachment, Wide-tooth comb attachment, Flyaway attachment and Styling concentrator.

The attachments provide a versatile range of styling options, from smooth blowouts to defined curls.  Like the Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler and dryer, new attachments are fully compatible with older versions of the machine.

Excessive heat can be a common concern when styling. But a built-in glass bead thermistor sensor on the Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer measures air temperature 40 times per second to prevent extreme heat damage and protect your hair’s natural shine.

Harnessing the true potential of the Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer involves experimenting with its versatile settings. The machine offers four precise heat settings, including a constant cold shot to set your style, and three precise airflow speeds. So, there are 12 combinations to find your perfect blowdry and these settings can be tailored according to your hair type and desired look.

Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer is ideal for those who want fast drying and styling without extreme heat. The machine is not merely a hair dryer – it’s a complete hair care system that includes a range of thoughtfully-engineered attachments, each tailored to address specific styling needs and hair types.

Both Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler and dryer and Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer are advanced hair care machines with unique benefits tailored to different styling and drying needs.

Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler and dryer is ideal for those who want a versatile styling tool with the ability to curl, wave, smooth and volumize hair without excessive heat. While Dyson Supersonic™ hair dryer is perfect if you want fast drying and styling while regulating heat and protecting your hair’s natural shine.
