I love the Airstrait! My husband got it as a Christmas gift when it first came out and I'm surprised at how much I use it. While I love my natural hair, a proper wash and style takes forever and my curls on days 2+ can be very unpredicable, so the Airstrait is my go-to when I have a very busy week. I'll wash and then hit the Airstrait on day 1, and be done with my hair in less than 30 minutes.Read G
It claims to leave you with a smooth, glossy and most importantly, healthy end result because there is no extreme heat used. You can use this tool to style from wet to dry and also to refresh from dry, which is a really cool feature.Watch T
Albeit expensive, the Dyson airstrait lives up to the hype. With straight hair styles growing in popularity in 2026, I’ve no doubt the airstrait will eventually overtake the airwrap as the ‘must-have’ device. As with any Dyson device, you need to know what you want from the airstrait before committing to its high price. In this case: smooth, straight strands.Read J
The power that this hair tool has is incredible. I am able to pretty much smooth out my hair from wet hair to completely dry hair in one pass. Like that's all I need with the Dyson. Just one pass will do it.Watch G
Testers were incredibly impressed with this high-tech hair tool. It scored full marks for straightening hair effectively and quickly, with one person saying it only around five to eight minutes to dry and style their hair – impressive. The most popular feature? It automatically switches off when you set it down, so no more worrying about leaving them on.Read H
I am completely in love with it. So if it comes anything close to that, it's going to be something very special. But I can't wait to try this. I really can't because this one has something slightly different and I think it's going to give a slightly different finish in a way that I might just love it.Watch C
I’ll admit it: I approached the Dyson Airstrait with skepticism. A straightener that dries and smooths hair using only air seemed almost too good to be true. I didn’t believe my curls could be tamed without intense heat (or pain), but after running the Dyson through my wet, frizzy hair, I was amazed at how soft and shiny my hair looked and felt.Read S
Unlike a traditional hair straightener, this device has no hot plates which means minimal heat. Air is precisely heated and projected evenly as you style with no need for heat damage. The device comes well packaged and is surprisingly pretty light. A non-slip heat mat is included. Although I felt this was really unnecessary since the device does not get too hot and turns off automatically when plaWatch B
Editor experience: “For straightening, the Dyson Airstrait remains one of the cleverest wet-to-dry innovations to date. Instead of relying on hot plates, it uses precisely directed airflow to dry and straighten simultaneously, helping preserve shine while reducing the amount of heat the hair is exposed to.Read A
And I absolutely love it and I highly recommend it.Watch L
The Airwrap isn’t perfect, but it’s pretty damn close. And if you’re looking for a tool that can do a little bit of everything, including straightening, it’s worth every penny. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go touch up my hair— the Airwrap is calling.Read I Instagram Article
The point stands for any Dyson hairstyling product, this is just the fastest and most convenient though! I will always add bit of oil to tame flyaways but I didn’t add any in order to show you that the airstrait itself will add so much shine!Read L
Overall, for anyone debating if the Dyson Airwrap justifies its cost, if styling your hair is a regular part of your routine and you want to minimize damage while having multiple styling options, I highly recommend it.Read I Instagram Article
This works well because it not only dries my hair but simultaneously straightens it. Have been using it for a month now and very happy with it. Works well for my hairtype which is prone to lot of frizz.Read M
Our interest was well and truly piqued when GHD launched its Duet Style, and we were just as excited with the subsequent launch of the Dyson Airstrait (not Dyson Airstraight as some searches suggest!).Read F Facebook Roslyn Dodd · owner
All I can say is wow! To go from wet to dry and have straight hair in under 15 minutes is very impressive. I used the dry function to rough dry first, then straightened.Read M
We were impressed in testing: two passes on the highest setting was enough for fine, towel-dried hair, and the Dry mode for second-day styling is genuinely useful.Read C
I have very thick and curly hair, and it cuts down my styling time by half. I also found it fairly easy to use and loved how my hair looked after use.Read T

Both former WIRED reviewer Medea Giordano and I used it on wet mode and then had to finish our style with a traditional straightening iron, which brings me to the biggest downside: If you have truly curly hair, like 3a or above , this is probably not going to be a one-stop shop for you.Read M
One of my favorite features from the Dyson Airstrait is the pause in the airflow when you set your hair tool down and it's not in use, but the straightener is still turned on. I think that's one of the best features. (hair straightener blowing) You pick it up and turns back on.Watch C

But I'm worried that it might be a little short for me when I'm used to the 2.8 m cable on the Supersonic. Then under here, we have a small pack containing a QR code to register the device on my Dyson app and a quick setup guide with useful pictures. I love this color. As I said before, this is Dyson's amber silk model. But if this isn't your vibe, they also do a very nice ceramic pink, blue and cWatch R r/finehair u/BackinBlack_Again · owner

In the battle royale of the straighteners, the Corrale beats the Airstrait every time. The cordless Corrale has intelligent heat control and uses flexible copper plates, which reduces the heat and pressure on the hair strand, making it significantly less damaging compared to other straighteners.Read F Facebook Jessica K Garrett · owner
