Hello, today I'm going to talk about my experience with the Dyson straightener. I'll start with how it works and its pros, then its cons. First, these are the buttons. The power button is here, and a button for if your hair is wet or dry. A button for cool air and a button for hot air.

And here for the air pressure. Of course, I'll show you how it works. First, from here. Drying. Then here you choose wet. Or dry. Here, if it's cool, like you want to dry your hair. Hot air has its own settings. These are the hot air settings. Okay, okay, this is how it works.

Of course, first of its features is that it suits fine and wavy hair perfectly. And it also doesn't burn the hair, I mean, look, I can hold it here normally, okay. Meaning the heat isn't directly on the hair; no, the air is just air, unlike a regular straightener. It's cool air or hot air, as you wish, and it makes it a straightener, I mean.

It's not for volume, for people who like straight hair, perfectly straight hair. It's not suitable for curly and kinky hair at all; I mean, you might see it as good for the first five minutes. Then your hair starts to frizz, you sleep a little, and it suddenly becomes curly, as if you didn't do anything. So this is one of its drawbacks.

What else? I mean, wavy and fine hair will suit it more and it will last for them; I mean, it looks really good on them. One drawback is that it's really, really big; I mean, your arm gets tired while you're still doing your hair. Here is where the air is pumped, and when you do this to your hair, it will pull your hair by itself so your hair doesn't go right or left and bother you.

Here's a button for when you close it, you press it. And close it. Like this. And that's my experience with the Dyson straightener. Another drawback, which could be considered a pro because there's no straightener like this, I mean, with air, not direct heat. Is that its price is really exaggerated, I mean.

Dyson Airstrait™ Review Summary

I tried the Dyson Airstrait™ straightener, which uses air instead of direct heat to straighten hair. Unfortunately, it wasn't very effective for my thick, curly hair, and I didn't achieve the desired fully straightened look. However, I observed excellent results on my sisters' wavy hair; it made their hair very smooth and shiny without any damage or burning, indicating it's a great option for those with wavy hair seeking gentle, non-damaging straightening.

Worth it if you have wavy hair and seek gentle straightening for smoothness and shine without damage.
