When it comes to the Dyson Airwrap, I had thought about trying one of a slew of ” Airwrap” dupes, but I’m a girl who wants the original. I held off on buying one for years, scared off by the lofty price tag before taking the plunge during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale last year. After all, a good discount lessens the sting of the price tag.
My Bluetooth-enabled Dyson Airwrap i.d. Multi-styler was on sale for Prime Day, and the good news is that if you head directly to Dyson, the sale is still going strong on the Straight + Wavy and Curly + Coily editions. Both are normally $650, but currently priced at $499.99, a $150 discount. They also come with a free travel bag at checkout, valued at $60.
This is the lowest price we’ve tracked on the Airwrap all year, and while I expect similar pricing around Black Friday, if you’re thinking of holding out, don’t you want to show up for Thanksgiving with a perfect blowout?

Why the Dyson Airwrap i.d. is a great buy
Jaclyn Turner/Business Insider
The Dyson Airwrap is my blow dryer, blow-dry brush, and curling iron all in one. I’d be remiss if I didn’t warn that the device has a learning curve, especially learning how the Coanda airflow wraps hair, but a little patience and practice lead to consistent, salon-quality hair days at home.
Beyond replacing an entire drawer of hot tools, here is why the Airwrap i.d. is worth the investment:
Styling without extreme heat damage: Unlike traditional irons and wands that use direct heat up to 400°F+, the Airwrap uses powerful airflow and intelligent heat control to keep temperatures below 302°F. Styling hair from damp to dry without scorching preserves your hair’s natural strength, shine, and color integrity over time.
Automated “i.d. Curl” Technology: The biggest upgrade in this model is its Bluetooth app connectivity. After a quick setup in the MyDyson app, where you input your hair length, type, and skill level, the Airwrap programs a personalized curling sequence. At the touch of a button, it automatically handles the wrapping, heating, and cool-shot set phases so you never have to count seconds in your head. This feature is not required for operating, but it can be helpful. You can still manually adjust temperature and airflow.
No more swapping barrels mid-style: Older Airwrap versions required swapping out barrels to curl the left and right sides of your head. The updated multi-directional barrels let you change airflow direction instantly with a simple twist of the cool tip.
All-in-One vanity clutter reduction: It replaces a round blow-dry brush, a traditional hair dryer, and a curling wand with a single ergonomic handle and quick-snap attachments. Everything stores neatly in a keepsake box.
What each attachment does
A conical barrel and a 1.6″ long barrel: The classic Conical barrel gives defined, tight curls, while the wider 1.6″ long barrel is good for long hair, creating looser waves and volume.
Fast dryer: I use this for rough initial blow-drying to take my hair from wet to damp before transitioning to the volumizing round brush. It’s also gentle enough not to scare pets with noise or scorch them with heat.
Large round volumizing brush : This turns my Dyson into a blow-dry brush .
Soft smoothing brush : I gently run this through my hair for smoothing and finishing
Dryer + Flyaway smoother attachment : This attachment smooths flyaways while drying and reduces frizz with Coanda airflow.
The bottom line
While Dyson has since released the newer Airwrap Coanda 2x , which introduces a straightening attachment, that version has yet to see a price cut, making the $150 price cut Airwrap i.d. an attractive investment for first-time buyers, daily blowout seekers, or 1st-generation Airwrap owners looking to upgrade to single-twist barrels and app-automated curling sequences. However, if you already own a working 2nd-generation Multi-Styler, core styling results remain comparable, so you can safely pass unless you specifically want the new app integration, Conical barrel, or flyaway attachment.

Dyson haircare Prime Day FAQs
Is the Dyson Airwrap a good deal?
The lowest price for the Dyson Airwrap i.d. this year is $499, making it a great deal and in line with other Dyson promotions. I purchased mine last year during Nordstrom’s Anniversary sale for $479. However, that price was a true anomaly reserved exclusively for Nordstrom cardholders.
Is the Dyson Airwrap i.d. worth upgrading to if I have the original Airwrap?
It depends. Only if you want Bluetooth-automated guidance, multi-directional barrels (no mid-style swapping), or new attachments like the Conical barrel. Otherwise, core styling results remain similar.
What is the difference between the Airwrap i.d. Straight+Wavy and Curly+Coily sets?
Both use the same base wand and app tech; only attachments differ. Straight+Wavy includes smoothers and a 1.6″ barrel, while Curly+Coily features a Wave+Curl Diffuser and Wide-Tooth Comb.
