NEW Dyson Air Straight Review... $500?! 

To everyone who is concerned about it not working on curly hair: Manes by Mell did a really great review of the Dyson Airstrait on multiple types of curly hair and it actually works super well, but it does require a different technique. Don't completely discount its efficacy based on the two-inch sample on Abbey's mom in this video if this is something you'd like to achieve on your own curly/wavy hair.

I was a little disappointed that your mom used the lowest heat setting and gave up so quickly. I have wavy (2A/2B), medium-density hair. The Airstrait gave me sleek, straight results with zero frizz - the same as when I use a flat iron. I varied between medium-high heat when wet, then finished with the Boost setting. I am not able to get the same sleek results with my Airwrap. It’s day 2, and even with no touchups I have zero frizz with the Airstrait. My hair did get HOT when using it though. So I agree with you that Dyson’s claim of no heat damage could not possibly be true.

I agree with some people commenting here. I was a little disappointed that your mom gave up so easily. You could have dried it for her on very wet hair and used different settings for a complete review. I don’t believe you gave it a fair shake for curly hair and that’s what I was looking for in this video. It still might be good for frizzy or curly hair, though.

Great honest video! I bought this tool for my 38th Birthday 🎉! First time I used it I was a little confused as to why I spent so much money on an air dryer but then I realized this tool it’s def less damaging, I have a lot of thick hair , lots of volume, this tool has helped control my hair. If you’re looking for a tool to give lots of different styles this is not your tool. This is simply a blow dryer that cuts your dry time in half with less damage. Overall I’m happy with my purchase.

I saw a few videos (Julissa's for example) where it worked great on curly hair, maybe your mom can give it another try on the highest heat setting.

I have generally straight hair with a bit of a wave, but not enough to wear it wavy because the wave pattern isn’t consistent. I normally blow dry and then straighten my hair. I got the air straight and it’s a game changer for me. My hair is super straight, very soft, and has a lot of shine. I slept on it overnight, and it still looks great and frizz free the next day. I’m super impressed!

As someone with naturally frizzy egg noodle shaped hair (and currently recovering from some over processed bleaching damage) I’m always looking for a way to save time and minimize damage when doing my hair. I think every gal with frizzy curly hair can relate to how draining it is to show up with decent hair every single day!! I’m kind of desperate for a tool like this 😅 BUT It’s not even an option to spend that kind of money so I have my fingers crossed for an affordable alternative. *also totally understand the stripping of the shine your mom experienced. I find that I must add oil to my hair afterwards anytime I use low heat/heated air to tame frizz. Thank you so much for purchasing this to review!! ❤

Wavy/frizzy hair here. Works very well for me. Very straight and I still have some body. Less than a blow dry brush but with a blow dry brush I still get frizz. Got caught in rain and hair is still good. Day 4 hair and with some dry shampoo it's still straight with more body than day 1.

Congrats on 400k! Love how informative your reviews are. Thanks for your hard work!

I have curly/wavy, very thick and puffy hair. I just got this dyson in the mail last night from sephora and tried it this morning. I have so much hair that I typically wash the night before though so my hair gets at least 50% dry, otherwise it just takes forever. I will say that for me, the result I got is worth the $500. I have never been able to get such a quick, nice result and have tried so many tools on the market. My only tiny gripe is that I didn't like how pin straight my ends are. I did go in with my t3 flat iron to just give the ends a little bend. I would give it 4.5 stars so far, though I will see how it maintains through day 3-4 before I decide once and for all.

I'd love to see more videos with your mom, since I also have wavy/curly hair! Its easy to make straight hair look sleek and smooth but is far more difficult with wavy hair.

I bought this just to try, with the idea that I was going to return it just like I did the Airwrap last year. I just used it on my curly, extremely frizzy, pouffy hair, that I usually blow dry with a round brush and then flat iron, and omg...it actually works for me! Other than my GHD flat iron, this may be the only other tool that has actually worked for me, ever! I was not expecting to keep it, but I think I will! I just hope it's not too damaging in the long run.

Abby, please let’s make a second video with your mom. I would suggest to apply anti freeze leave in conditioner before using this tool. It helped me out so much. I think a deep moisturizer hair mask could help too. ❤

I have wavy frizzy hair, and this tool has saved me so much time! I don’t have to blow dry and then straighten my hair, which took me forever to do! My hair is soft and shiny after I’m done using it! For me, worth every penny!

I would say your mom needed another pass on the dry boost setting - along with a rough dry at the roots. Even if you rough dry like more than half and it gets all frizzy it still will smooth it all the way out miraculously. I have frizzier and curlier hair than she has and it is a game changer for me! Truly can’t believe how nice my hair looks and feels and days later. Does NOT happen like that with the air wrap at all. And I have both versions. Never had this nice of straight hair before. And it’s less dry than usual.

OMG I WAS SOOOOOO WAITING FOR YOUR REVIEW ON THIS PRODUCT THANK YOU! 😊

Thanks!! I just asked for your review on one of your recent videos, I only trust your opinions! I have the right hair type for this kind of styler but you're right, wait and see what cheaper alternatives pop up on the market!!

Congratulations on 400K. Excited for you. This Dyson tool will be added to my Dyson collection some time this year. Enjoy your reviews. 💖💄👄

Would have been nice if Mum gave it a proper go for the sake of the video. I have similar hair and was looking forward to her review.

I have a really busy schedule and absolutely DREAD the days I need to wash my hair because it's such a time suck to dry and style. Even though I have naturally straight hair, I have a LOT of it and it frizzes. $500 is a bit steep but I might pull the trigger esp looking out for sales. Initially thought about the shark styler but I rarely curl my hair so this might be more worth my money since it has a blow drying option too. I am disappointed that your mom didn't keep going, obvi her choice but honestly she barely gave it a chance and it's just hair. I don't know why she made such a stink about a 3 inch section.

Thanks for reviewing this! It was super helpful to see the results on your mom- I’m going to pass on this and stick with my Shark FlexStyle! Have a great weekend!😄

This is an absolutely amazing tool, and I love how the picture of this video shows the model using it backwards! lol 😂 It’s totally worth it. I bought one for my daughters, and they love them, I turned around and bought one to use in the salon to save wear and tear on my body. Dyson hair tools are absolutely top-of-the-line and worth every penny including their vacuum cleaners!!!! I work with many different hot tools and hands-down will pick a Dyson over the other brands every single time. I just recently bought a gamma blow dryer to see what the hype was about and gave it away…. I turned around and bought another Dyson after my previous Dyson professional blow dryer died after five years of intensive professional use. I turned around and also bought the air straight to use at the shop. I also have the air wrap at the house for my own personal use, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! As a professional, I would not use it in the salon, although I know some professionals do. NO REGRETS #teamdyson

Hopefully there’ll be dupe or affordable options thank you for reviewing ❤️

500.00! I don’t care how good it is I would never spend 500.00 on a hair dryer. 😮😊 thanks Abbey!

What heat protectant would you suggest on damp hair and using airatrait?

I always wanted to try the Dyson Airwrap, but I don't curl my hair, so all those attachments would be useless. I think I would love this because my hair is wavy and gets frizzy and I want it very straight.

I have all the Dyson hair tools and a bunch more. I’m a hair tool junky. This is so far the best. It leaves my hair straight and soft not fried and frizzy like when I use a blow dryer and brush or the AirWrap which I think is junk

I just can’t justify buying this without trying it first. I pray my BFF buys one then I’ll test drive hers first.😂We usually just buy one between us if we like it we jump in with both feet. It’s a little easier to justify the purchase that way. Then we aren’t stuck with 2 crappy $500 blow dryer’s. Thank goodness for BFF’s.😂

I am just not ready for pin straight hair to make a full comeback! I'm glad you mentioned the noise, I bought a Dyson dryer and it gives me such a headache that I can't use it. The dogs also absolutely despise the noise it makes. It's awesome that you addressed that it still isn't a totally damage free option.

dyson prices are too crazy imo. i think their straightener and this is just a waste of money for most people but after seeing Manes by Mell use it i think it is perfect for those with curly hair going for a straight look. with that said i still think the price needs to come down a lot, the airwrap is just a bit more and you get multiple attachments.

Thanks for the review. Just ordered mine for $750 AUD. I'm excited to use it soon!

I bought a RevAir last year because I have 3C hair, and love it! Have you tried a RevAir?

Similar to Abby’s hair, I have straight hair, little freeze, thick and long and I LOVE this tool. I let my hair air dry about 80% and then use this. Makes my hair look so much better and nicer than letting it air dry or rough dry.

Lol your mom seems pretty stubborn. She really should have tried it on her whole head rather than a few strands. Plus it should be on a higher heat setting for naturally course and curlier hair.

I have similar hair to your mum but thinner but I feel like it will still work. It didn’t seem like your mum brushed her hair? I brush each strand before I straightening mine. I’ve passed on all the other Dysons but I really really want this one! Thanks for the review!

Dyson has vacuums for less than that! But then they also have noise canceling head phones for twice the price😮 I thought this would be the perfect tool for using an anti-frizz glossing product where you have to pull your hair straight for the product to work. But for the price you could have it done at a salon for less I’m guessing. BTW, your mom is gorgeous. I don’t know how pretty your dad is but I can see where you and your sister get your looks from❣

To be honest, yea it is expensive, especially for Canadians considering the price conversion BUT it totally pays off, you can do monthly payments and if you’re someone who loves a good salon blow out but can’t afford to keep going to salons, or just struggling with your hair on the regular, this will give you luscious smooth, flat iron results. And if you want some curls or volume, you can even go in with heatless curl options afterwards such as robe curls or Velcro rollers or flexible rods or those foam rollers that lets you close it once you roll your hair into it. for some beautiful bounce and desired volume. I will say though, I’ve been watching every Airstrait video review and the results are not as sleek on type 4 hair from what I’ve seen. Even Latina curly thick hair takes a little more work. That’s why it’s important to watch Dyson channel videos as they explain how to use it the best way. For thicker hair, I would suggest highest wet mode heat and high air flow. Two slow passes. If that’s not enough then another third slow pass should do the trick. If the hair isn’t straight enough you can then go into dry mode (once hair is dry) and select the boost mode as it gets the hottest and helps achieve the smoothest finish. Then set it with cold air always. Also I recommend for type 4 hair to brush your hair before you begin using the tool. But definitely slow passes does the trick. For me I have fine, wavy hair, but I have a lot of hair but it performs super well on my hair type. Also as mentioned from a dyson engineer, Dry mode - you use more heat and less air flow Wet mode - less heat more air flow but again if hair is thick then play around with the heat until you find the perfect temperature for your hair type

Thank you for the great review Abbey!! If you no longer wear your hair straight like that then how would you incorporate into your routine??

Love this product and channel🥰

Great review. If this was zero damage, full body results.. I would be sold. I have curly hair but I enjoy straightening my hair every 2 washes. Thx 💕

since summer is coming up can you please do a video on how you can prep your hair before you go swimming and a shower routine to wash chlorine out please!! 🩷

Just got mine yesterday and OMGGG I wish I’d had this all my life. I have straight but very frizzy hair that can become hard to blow dry aimoly because it needs a lot of heat in order to tame the frizz (and trust me, when I say I condition and take care of my hair) this gave me the BEST blow out EVER. Only thing I needed besides this was go in with my flat iron to give my ends a little shape because the only downside I found to this is that you get no volume.

Abbey! I can’t afford this right now. Ugh your hair looks so good!!!

I really wish we could have seen your mom’s hair finished! Would have helped us wavy haired girls see how it may have worked for us!

7:34 did she use any hair oil or products for curly hair first? Asking for myself and my extremely thick and curly hair

I love this iron! I finally get decent hair days. After it's straight if I want to make it wavy I sleep with braids, easy peasy... Great technology...

That's very helpful before the purchase to listen so many different opinions of girls/women with different hair types who have tried using this tool. But I've found your statement concerning the heat damage that causes high temperature being not to the point. Of course 285 degrees brings damage to the hair of any type. Accordingly to the Cambridge University professor Tim Moore, the hair damage causes temperature above 200°C. Dyson Airstrait's temperature range from 80°C to 140°C. Even the airflow control can be set from low to high flow, accordingly to the hair state. That's very gentle and not harmful at all. To sum up all said above, claim that it is not going to damage our hair is true. Or maybe I misunderstood you on some points?

Boost Mode goes up to 320 F for anyone wondering! According to Dyson.

Awe my hair looks just like your moms, I can’t wear it just air dried sure wish she would have done all her hair with it to see how it looked❤❤

Hi there Abbey Thank you for the video, first of all, it is crazy expensive and that would make my life a living hell zone, my hair is crazy on his own, do not need to make it look crazier, love the tools that I use for a fraction of the cost. My personal opinion. Have a great weekend!. PS: Thank your mom for me, for trying it out😃

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR REVIEW!!!!!!❤

Could you please try and do the same thing but try a flick at the bottom? Is that possible?

loved this video!!! your nails look amazing!! what is your nail routine?

this tool definitely makes your hair soft and less damaged but it does not get the roots well nor does the finish last..I have thick auburn wavy hair and my hair poofed out by 2pm and styled it at 9am. so maybe its better for finer less wavy hair...sold mine on ebay. hope this helps

For some reason I felt like falling in love every time you said “poofy” lol. Love your videos ❤

Hoping to see you review the new shark flexstyle attachments!

TBH, the review isn’t super helpful. I was most interested in seeing it on your Mom’s hair as mine tends to be frizzy and I’d wanted to see if once it was dry, if it stayed straight or if curl / frizz crept back in. Also, it wasn’t clear if your Mom normally wears her hair straight? If so, do,other tools dry her hair and take away the shine? Now I feel I’ll have to search for a different review to form an opinion.

Another excellent review…. NOPE… can not do it…. The price point is silly! Can u review the Moremo Miracle 10 from the Beauty Spy???

Nice review, it's cool if you can afford it but I wouldn't save for it, I still like to only occasionally blow dry to keep my hair healthy ❤ Love from Ireland ❤🇮🇪👍

Can you compare this next to the air wrap straight brush attachment?

Would you be open to try that split end trimmer thing for our viewing pleasure? 😅 I've already tried it and I think it works pretty well, I'm curious to know what your opinion would be though

Hi Abby would you please review the Zuvi Halo Hair Dryer, it seems so cool and has some interesting technology!

My husband gave it to me for Christmas😊 I’m loving it 🥰

Love your nail polish. Red is my favorite color.

Patiently waiting for the dupe 😊

Hi Abbey ❤, I've seen a couple of reviews of this product. One had super curly hair and the other had straight hair like yourself but just not as long. Although I loved the results I myself couldn't bring myself to purchase this. I have the Dyson Super Sonic Hairdryer and that was expensive for me. The results that you got were gorgeous 🤩. Are you going to return or keep this? Have a lovely weekend 💕!

How does it compare to the Revlon One Step Air Straight? Only $79.99 at Ulta and looks the same + you can use it as a normal straightener as well.

I would try this but I’m gonna save up for the The shark Flexstyler or I’ll get the revlon blowout curls, I don’t think this would be useful for me since I don’t like my hair pin straight, I like more versatility, but for now I’ll stick to my Heat styling MO, I just use my Dyson to blowout my hair and then use my ghd platinum + after btw I love you and your Channel ❤🙏🏼

I'm just curious about using the tool upside-down on the roots, maybe that could add volume 🤔

Hello? Use heat protectant.

Have you tried the new GHD drier/flat iron?

How is this compared to the GHD Wet Styler? Comparison video possibly?

To get some body at the top of your head- can you put the direction of the hair and the tool "up" (like when you blow dry up)

Have any affordable options come out since this video? This tool looks great in that it dries and straightens wavy frizzy hair at the same time. I've been wanting to invest, but I'm scared. Haha. If it does the job, it might be worth the investment. I am looking for something that is non damaging as I tend to get breakage with any hair drying tool I've tried.

I loved when you used to add your lip combo to the description box. Could you do that again?😊

@abbeyyung I trust your advice this device still applies heat at close distance will it cause hair damage after some time? Dyson claims that it won’t but I don’t get how when there is still heat and tugging happening Thank you

How many days did the straight hair last with you? Thanks for the review ❤

Curly hair is tricky, you need moisture when straightening, leave in conditioner, a straightening balm, that is based on your hair texture, and enough heat to straighten, but not too hot, once the hair you are straightening is dry, move to the next piece, otherwise you can cause damage if you are doing passes over already dry hair( also causing more frizz), tell your mom not to give up!

Are you keeping it? X

Love the color of your shirt! Where did you find it?

I have coarse hair and I did not like the air strait. My hair looks poofy. I have to use a straightener over to make sure all the kinks are removed from my hair

could you compare it to the ghd duet style™ 2-in-1 Hot Air Styler? it launched way before the Dyson

Hi Abbey, do you know how this compares to the GHD duet? Thanks x

I bought the Dyson Air Straight recently. It did dry nice, but broke after only 1 month...dysons customer service has been AWFUL!! They were supposed to send a new machine out once mine arrived. It's been over 2 weeks since tracking shows they received my machine and I've called twice to see whats going on. They just keep giving me the run around. Worst customer service ever. I can't believe I bought a $500 machine it broke within a month and now Dyson isn't doing anything to help me get my new machine. I'll NEVER buy anything from them ever again!!

I’m honestly more curious about the GHD wet to dry styler!

Can you please, please try revlons version?

Happy weekend, Abbey!❤❤

What about the scalp. Does it dry it also on the roots while atraightening the hair?

What Tshirt are you wearing? Love that shade pf green!

What r ur LIP products in this one. Looks great! 💋💋💋

I feel like its a version of the steampod from loreal

Can someone answer how does it work with tiny hairs on the scalp that are curly they are really annoying and hard to get will this work on them?

Can this be used with the dream coat?

Can you use product in your hair with this tool?

Would you consider it similar to the revair?

I love this tool. I don’t think your mom’s hair was wet enough to use this tool properly. Needs to be wet - not half dry - it’s not the air wrap. Hope she tries again. Thanks for the review!

My dyson blowdryer is less noisy than my old dryer.

250 celsius??! That's super hot! I only use my flat iron on a 170 celsius, can't imagine this being any better for the overall health of the hair w that high heat

Can we use this with color wow dream coat?

Hi😊, Do you know how the Dyson Airstaight compares to the Ghd Duet please?
