My interest in pole positions and pit stops may be pithy, but my passion for perfecting a killer curl is infinitely higher… And so, despite a not-immediately obvious resemblance, I was impressed to learn that the latest Dyson Airwrap Coanda 2x does have something in common with a Formula 1 car: power. Specifically, a motor that spins at 150,000rpm. FYI: That’s nine times faster than an F1 engine. If that all sounds like overkill for a hair tool, you’re clearly not familiar with the engineering excellence that is Dyson – who have revved up and are ready to supercharge your styling routine.
Even if you’re not a motorhead, Dyson’s Hyperdymium 2 is sure to get your engine going! In fact, it’s Dyson’s fastest and most powerful hair care motor yet, delivering twice the air pressure of the original Airwrap. That means curls that hold longer, drying that’s faster, and straight styles that are sleeker. You’re getting high performance without the heat damage. Two ultra-sensitive thermistors check the air temperature 1,000 times per second, so you can style confidently, knowing your strands are protected.
Not content to simply put power in the starting lane, the Dyson Airwrap Coanda 2x is smart, too. Like, AI-level smart. RFID technology powers the new attachments, allowing them to communicate with the tool and auto-adjust airflow and temperature settings based on your hair type and chosen look. Plug in the curling barrel? The device already knows what to do. Better still, if you’ve connected to the MyDyson app, you can create a personal hair profile and activate i.d. curl – a one-touch sequence that wraps, sets, and releases the perfect curl every time. Think of it as having your own digital stylist, minus the awkward small talk.
If your old styling tools have ever snagged your hair mid-stroke, it may be time to shift gears and meet your new favourite brush: the Anti-snag Loop Brush 2x. Engineered with patented loop bristles and clever hook-shaped outer bristles, it glides through strands, creating smoother finishes and fewer “ouch” moments. Meanwhile, the AirSmooth 2x attachment uses two high-velocity jets of air to straighten hair without heat plates. The result is glassy, frizz-free strands that feel as smooth as a good ride.
The barrels are also brilliant. There are 20mm, 30mm and 40mm Coanda 2x curling barrels that let you go from tight ringlets to bouncy waves, all with a simple twist and click. The new ergonomic cool tips and redesigned airflow also make it easier (and faster) than ever to switch directions or perfect your technique.
The final full-throttle fabulous feature of the Dyson Airwrap Coanda 2x is the fact that the entire device has also been made smaller and lighter, making it easier to wield for anyone who’s ever had a styling session turn into an upper-arm workout. The Fast Dryer 2x gets you from wet to ready-to-style at Supersonic speeds, while the Round Volumising Brush 2x helps build that coveted root lift without messing up your already styled sections. If you’re a curly-haired queen or beachy-wave lover, there’s a Wave+Curl Diffuser 2x designed to enhance your natural texture with dual dispersion.
What ties all of this together is Dyson’s ongoing obsession with hair health. The brand designs every brush, barrel and airflow setting to work in harmony with your strands – no matter your texture – so you never have to trade style for strength. Pair it with Dyson’s Chitosan styling range (made from oyster mushrooms, no less), and you step into the realm of truly intelligent beauty.
With its precision engineering, F1-worthy motor, and a brain to match, the Dyson Airwrap Coanda 2x isn’t just another hair tool. It’s the future of styling, in your bathroom, ready to give you salon-quality results. No speed limit required.
The Dyson Airwrap Coanda 2x will be available in Ceramic Pink and Jasper Plum from July 30. It’s pricey ($999, gulp). But like a high-performance race car, you’re paying for power, precision and next-level engineering under the hood. And, once you take it for a spin, there’s no going back to your old ride.
