Why it's a great gift
The unboxing alone earns a gasp: seven attachments in one case, covering drying, curling, smoothing, flyaways and volume. The app then saves a personalized wrap-and-set sequence that trims the button work.
Is this the right gift?
- Great for: straight-to-wavy hair styled most mornings.
- Great for: anyone juggling a separate dryer, curler and straightener.
- Great for: givers chasing a wow moment.
- Skip if: they style occasionally, or want it for overseas trips.
The verdict
A splurge that pays off with practice
Give it to a committed daily styler: the finish comes from damp hair, small sections and practice — not the tool alone. It's 120-volt only, and Dyson now sells a newer flagship above it.
Why it works
- ✓ One tool covers drying, curling, smoothing and volume
- ✓ App-saved routines reduce fiddly button work
- ✓ Earlier Airwrap attachments still fit this body
Tradeoffs
- × Technique and hair prep still decide the result
- × Not dual voltage — a home tool, not a travel one
- × No longer Dyson's newest flagship

Before you buy

- Buy from an authorized Canadian seller and keep the receipt for the two-year warranty.
- Regulated heat is gentler than an iron, not damage-proof — normal hair-care judgment applies.
Quick answers
Does the app style their hair for them?
No. It runs a saved wrap-and-cold-shot sequence with the right timing; sectioning, dampness and barrel angle stay human jobs.
Is the lower heat safe for damaged hair?
It avoids iron-level temperatures, but heat and tension always deserve care. Think lower-heat styling, not no-heat styling.
Can it travel to Europe?
Best left home. The Canadian version is a 120-volt appliance, and a plug adapter doesn't make an incompatible outlet safe.
