It's hard to think there was once a time when I somehow tended to my hair without the Dyson Airwrap. Sure, I got the job done by any means necessary – usually a hair dryer, followed by some form of tong, straightener or hot brush – but the day I finally got my hands on the industry's most covetable, all-in-one hair styler, my haircare routine was revolutionised. I could dry and style simultaneously with one single 10 second pass, taking my long lengths from wet to red carpet-ready in 20 minutes flat. Safe to say, I'm a fan, so when news of a new and improved Dyson Airwrap began to circulate this week, I was keen to know how the brand is going to one-up itself with its latest haircare technology: the new Airwrap Coanda 2x™ multi-styler and dryer.
When the first Dyson Airwrap was released in 2018, it's disruptive and game-changing tech quickly earned the seal of approval from a host of A-listers, pro hairstylists and beauty editors. In fact, it's so good, many have attempted to recreate it with their own Dyson Airwrap dupes. Ushering in a new era of hair styling, the tool promised no heat damage thanks to smart heat control which measured airflow temperature over 40 times a second, meaning temperatures are always kept under 150°C. It also engineered its own innovation called the Coanda Effect, which is a phenomenon that occurs when air that is flowing at the right speed and pressure (in this case 110,000rpm) manages to attach itself to the surface it's flowing over. When paired with its assortment of hair attachments, this creates a spinning vortex of air that helps to curl, shape, and smooth hair into place.

But once you wrap your head (well, hair) around the brilliant engineering of the new tool, that eye-watering price tag may look a little more acceptable. Read on...
What's new about the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x™?
It seems the next-gen tool can get better. Dyson has updated its Airwrap engine with a Hyperdymium™2 motor, its fastest and most powerful. With an all new aerodynamics package, the seriously impressive piece of kit promises 30% more power by way of air flow and double the amount of pressure for faster drying and styling, all without increasing noise levels. Put simply, the system spins nine times faster than a Formula 1 car engine.
It's kept up with the times, too. Now enhanced with A1-driven sensors, the Airwrap2x™ is embedded with an all new Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) chip which detects the best temperature and airflow setting to protect your hair type. There are also two new filter sensors fitted into the tool to tell you when it's attached properly and when it needs cleaning, as well as a temperature sensor that measures air temperatures 1000 times per second to maintain heat levels.
It comes with six attachments in both the Straight+Wavy and Curly+Coily sets, carefully crafted to control twice the air pressure for optimal styling. It's also possible to buy separate attachments if there's one you want which isn't in the original set.
Final thoughts on the new Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x™?
Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'As a longtime fan of the original, I jumped at the news of a new and improved Dyson Airwrap. Having used the OG every week since I got my hands on one, I have come to rely on its ability to easily and efficiently dry and style my hair in record time. It doesn't matter if I fancy rocking a bouncy blowout or romantic curls, my Airwrap quickly helps me to create the look with little to no faff. Restricting heat damage is super important to me as my number one priority is to maintain the healthy feel and shine of my long hair, so I am intrigued to discover how the new Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x will bolster that protection with an all-new sensor system, which helps to take the guesswork out of styling. While I love my Airwrap, I'm not the best at remembering to clean out the filter, which, from experience, if poorly maintained can actually ruin your tool completely. So, I welcome the addition of the sensor which will help me to keep on top of things. Everything considered, Dyson seem to have really up the ante once again with its newest offering.'
