3. Dyson's acclaimed styling tool receives a powerful makeover
Set to launch in June, the new Dyson Airwrap styler boasts impressive enhancements, offering personalisation for even more hair types.
Key innovations to the styling tool include barrels that change direction — meaning there’s no need to switch attachments to create clockwise or anticlockwise curls and waves. Dyson’s signature aerodynamic ‘Coanda effect’ is also harnessed to dry and style the hair without extreme heat, allowing the creation of coveted, high-gloss styles like the ‘liquid bob’.
Lastly, a versatile wide-tooth comb attachment is on offer (and can be used with new or existing Airwrap stylers), adding shape and volume to curly and coily hair without damage.
The new Dyson Airwrap multi-styler and attachments are available from 16 June at Dyson.co.nz, and from 7 July at selected retailers.
