With all due respect to my mothers cherished tools, Ive never looked back.

It dries my fine curly hair in minutes and has the weight of a travel dryer.

When the new Airstrait came on the market, I was cautiously optimistic.

The answer is unequivocally yes but with a few small caveats.

I wasnt convinced this was it.

And the clamping made my hair look less finished and flatter than using a traditional dryer and a brush.

But my hair did feel healthierand there was no burning smell, which is always a plus.

Its given my Supersonic a run for its money.

Its ergonomic design makes it a breeze to hold and maneuver while styling your hair.

One of the standout features is its two style functions, catering to both wet and dry hair.

I opted for the wet-to-dry setting, which completely transformed my thick, wavy hair in just 20 minutes.

The plates gilded effortlessly through my hair, ensuring a snag-free and damage-free styling experience.

Now, lets get real about the results.

It did an impressive job of taming my frizz and reducing unwanted curls.

However, there were a couple of trade-offs to consider.

My hair did lose some of its natural movement and flexibility, which resulted in a slightly stiffer feel.

Overall, I found that the Dyson Airstrait delivered satisfactory results.

I expected it to be straight, but notthatstraight.

Since then, Ive tried it on dry hair and really love the final result.

My hairs a lot smoother and more pin-straight than it would be after a regular blow-dryer touch-up.
