Dyson is releasing a new Airwrap, and it\u2019s the best one yet. Have we said this before? Yes (four times in the last seven years). Do we mean it? Of course.<\/p>\n

This time, though, the differences are clear. Many of us had to study the changes between models to truly appreciate the brand\u2019s efforts to improve an already beloved device. The base has a different shape, and you\u2019ll literally feel the changes to its motor in your face. And those are just our first impressions. Ahead, we dive into the Co-anda 2x\u2014the strongest, fastest, and totally different Airwrap.<\/p>\n

    The Dyson Airwraps, thus far<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

    A refresher: Dyson first launched the Airwrap Complete back in 2018, changing the way we style our hair. With six attachments and a base designed around the coanda effect (an aerodynamic phenomenon where high-velocity air causes moving objects, in this case, hair, to attach to a nearby curved surface), styling novices like me could achieve a bouncy, long-lasting, fresh-from-the-salon blowout at home. Pros could work even faster and more seamlessly with the various attachments and pack lighter when traveling domestically.<\/p>\n

    But while it was racking up accolades (including multiple Allure<\/em> Best of Beauty Awards), Dyson was quietly working to further improve the styler. Over time, we saw a slew of new attachments (including much-needed longer barrels and a diffuser for curly and coily hair). Last year, the Airwrap I.D. hit the market with newly added Bluetooth capability (so it can connect to the MyDyson app) and even more attachments, making the Airwrap compatible with a whopping 19 heads. It was also made available as two different kits: one for curly and\/or coily hair, and one for straight or wavy hair.<\/p>\n

    Now, Dyson is releasing the Coanda 2X in the US on July 8. (It was previously available only in Korea.) Ahead, three Allure<\/em> editors test-drive the new device.<\/p>\n

    \n

    What makes the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x different from its predecessors?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

    The Airwrap Co-anda 2x is the first iteration with visible changes to its base. It\u2019s now oval-shaped, making it more ergonomic. It\u2019s also 24 grams lighter than the Airwrap I.D. (so it\u2019s less of an arm workout to style your strands).<\/p>\n

    Internally, the Co-anda 2x is equipped with Hyperdymium 2, a new, more powerful motor. This motor \u201cdoubles the air pressure without increasing noise,\u201d says Fred Howe, a Dyson engineer. (That\u2019s the \u201c2x\u201d in the name.)<\/p>\n

    Howe adds that the Airwrap has been updated to improve overall performance: \u201cIn use with the new attachments, it dries as fast as a full-performance hair dryer, has stronger Co-anda airflow for better hair wrapping and curling power, and can create straighter styles.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    \n

    Its six attachments include the totally new AirSmooth 2x, which my colleague, associate beauty director Sarah Kinonen, likens to the Airstrait. It lightly clamps down on hair to deliver tension and airflow to dried hair, straightening it with less frizz. It also includes updates to existing attachments, like the round brush.<\/p>\n

    Like the I.D., the Co-anda 2x has Bluetooth capability, but is usable with or without the app. The app records information about your hair (type, length, texture, and style retention) and creates sequences of settings for the most efficient way to use your device. We previously reported that using the app is great for those who aren\u2019t confident wielding a styler or want to get to know their hair a little better. \u201cThere’s a lot of info packed into their concise questionnaire, and if the app really factors all that info for you, then it will help create the results you are looking for,\u201d hairstylist Devin Toth previously said, but added that hairstylists may not need this capability. \u201cFor me, it’s just easier to think about what look I am trying to achieve on which hair type.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The Co-anda 2x will be made available to consumers in curated kits (one for curly and\/or coily hair, and one for straight or wavy hair). Allure<\/em> staffers tested the kit for straight or wavy hair, as the one for coily\/curly hair is still being shipped to the US.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI went into my test a little too confidently. As someone who\u2019s thoroughly tested every Dyson tool, I thought, I can figure this out without reading the instructions on the box. Big mistake.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI prepped my wavy hair with Briogeo Blow Dry Perfection & Heat Protectant Cr\u00e8me, combing it through before tying off a section of my strands. I eagerly reached for the new AirSmooth2x attachment, since Sarah [Kinonen] had compared it to the AirStrait, which I regularly use. I quickly found that it isn\u2019t like the AirStrait that takes your hair from slightly wet to straight. It left my hair looking frizzy with kinks. The AirSmooth 2x, instead, is ideal for finishing almost-dry hair and adding a glossy sheen (which is what I would have learned had I read the directions). I styled half of my hair with it, but found that it snagged and was a little bit awkward to maneuver down my long hair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    \n

    \u201cI ended up re-wetting my hair and swapping the AirSmooth2x for the round brush attachment. I typically gravitate toward the round brush when I use my Airwrap I.D., so I was excited to see how this one compared\u2014and I loved using it. It dried my hair fast, creating bouncy waves and curls that were shiny and resilient. The grip felt comfortable, and I was able to dry my hair in under 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

    \u201cAfter hitting my curls with the cool shot, letting them set, and spraying them with Oribe Superfine Hairspray, I wore the style in New York City\u2019s excessively hot subway, to the gym, and to the office\u2014and it remained glossy and bouncy. I didn\u2019t wash my hair for four days, and while the waves loosened slightly, they remained impressively intact.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

    \u201cI have long, fine, color-treated hair that\u2019s super dry at the ends, which is why I don\u2019t typically use hot tools. (I\u2019d consider myself a good\u2014no, probably the best\u2014candidate to test this because I\u2019m an idiot with hot tools.) When I plugged in the new Airwrap, I noticed its design was more ergonomic than previous models. Its base is oval-shaped, which was nice, but I still found it heavy overall, and the cord felt bulky and annoying.<\/p>\n

    \u201cTo test this new Airwrap, I washed my hair, towel-dried it, and put a small dollop of Dae Mirage Mist Leave-In Conditioner throughout my lengths. Then I dried my hair with the dryer attachment. It is so<\/em> strong (comparable to the Supersonic, which I have some experience with), and zapped the excess water from my hair in less than two minutes.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI replaced the dryer attachment with the new Airstrait attachment, which, admittedly, took time for me to figure out. (I used it upside down at first.) Once I had it positioned correctly, I pushed the On button and gradually ran it down my hair. It smoothed my strands immediately, bringing down frizz and straightening the section. I repeated this until I was finished smoothing my entire head of hair. It honestly probably took less than two minutes; I don’t have a lot of hair despite how long it is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    \n

    \u201cTwo points of frustration: I had to press the On button every time I worked with a section. It felt awkward, but the Dyson team told me that I wouldn\u2019t have to hit the button every time I finish a section if I connected to the brand\u2019s app. (I\u2019m not a fan of connecting anything to an app.) I also found that this attachment got extremely hot. I had to use an oven mitt to remove it from the base. All this to say, the tool was relatively easy to figure out, is faster than its predecessor, and comes with some cool new attachments. If someone is already considering investing in an Airwrap, I\u2019d recommend this one over the original (even with the $100 price increase) due to the new tech alone. Just be careful when changing out the attachments\u2014they can get uncomfortably hot!\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

    \u201cI have never met a Dyson Airwrap that I didn’t love, and the Airwrap Co-anda 2x is no exception. When you ask yourself, Who has more than one Dyson? Why? It’s me. I’m that girl. I finally parted with two from my collection this year, and I’ve been waiting for this launch for months to fill the void. (My hot tools shelf has been sad, okay?)<\/p>\n

    \u201cWith ultralong hair, having a multi-tool that dries quickly, has long barrels, and is easy to use is nonnegotiable. The latest Dyson checks all the boxes. With prior models, if I was in a time crunch, I would pull out my Supersonic to get my hair about 85% dry before finishing and styling with my Airwrap. The improved motor is certainly closer to the Supersonic because I didn’t have to switch devices, but I’m not ditching my dryer just yet. If I’m not going for a styled look or am using another hot tool, I would still reach for the Supersonic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    \n

    \u201cAbout my hair: I have naturally wavy hair that has changed dramatically in the past year due to pregnancy and the postpartum period, so the efficiency of the Airwrap and how I use it has also changed. Currently, I’m at a medium thickness with a boatload of postpartum hair loss coupled with stress alopecia. My method of using the device has stayed nearly the same, but the time it takes is very different depending on my hair density. Right now, my styling time is 10 minutes from start to finish. When my hair was more dense, it ranged closer to 16 minutes.<\/p>\n

    \u201cTo test this new device, I washed my hair with Oribe Gold Lust Shampoo and Conditioner, toweled it dry, and applied a dime-size amount of the Olaplex No. 5 Leave-In Conditioner. Once it was maybe halfway dry, I gently combed through the leave-in conditioner and went to work with the dryer attachment. After it was 85% dry, I sectioned off my first layer about mid-ear and took 1-inch sections to the new barrel, working my way up my head, alternating from the right side to the left in each layer. The results were very similar to the previous model, but the new motor knocked more time off my routine. However, my surrounding hair dried much faster than I was used to, and I had to continuously mist it with water so it could grip the machine. Be careful: The attachments can get very hot, and I had to be very careful when removing them as I switched from side to side.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIn all, I’m excited to add the Co-anda 2x to my collection, and as any new mother knows, time is the most valuable commodity. In my book, the time I get back with this new device makes it worth the price.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    The Dyson Co-anda 2x will retail for $699.99, beginning July 8 at Sephora and on the brand\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
