Everyone’s Talking About the Dyson Airwrap ID — Here’s How to Use It Like a Pro

How to Use the Dyson Airwrap ID

If there’s one hair tool that’s earned its cult status, it’s the Dyson Airwrap. But the latest Dyson Airwrap ID Multi-Styler and Dryer – Straight + Wavy (Amber Silk) takes the innovation even further, offering custom styling, precise heat control, and truly long-lasting results. Whether you’re smoothing your hair for a sleek finish or creating soft waves worthy of a salon blow-dry, the upgraded Airwrap is the ultimate luxury tool for achieving glossy, polished hair at home.

With its new intelligent heat and airflow sensors, the Dyson Airwrap ID automatically adjusts to your hair type and styling habits. It now features a beautiful Amber Silk finish, a refined upgrade on the brand’s classic colourways, perfectly in keeping with its “quiet luxury” aesthetic. Beyond the design, it’s about smarter, faster, and more efficient styling — meaning less heat damage, more shine, and a finish that actually lasts.

So, if you’ve ever struggled to make your Airwrap curls hold or your blow-dry stay sleek past lunchtime, this is your complete guide to getting the most from the Dyson Airwrap ID Multi-Styler and Dryer.

Step 1: Start with Damp, Not Wet Hair

The Airwrap performs best on 80% dry hair. After washing, towel-dry and detangle gently. Apply a lightweight volumising mousse or heat protectant spray — this gives the hair texture to grip the airflow and helps styles hold longer.

Step 2: Choose the Right Attachment

The Straight + Wavy edition comes with precision-designed attachments for your exact hair goals:

• Coanda smoothing dryer – dries hair quickly and tames flyaways.
• Firm smoothing brush – creates a sleek, straight finish.
• Soft smoothing brush – ideal for a polished blow-dry.
• 30mm and 40mm barrels – for loose or defined waves that look effortless.

Tip: Alternate the direction of airflow when using barrels on each side of the head — this gives a more natural, bouncy finish.

Step 3: Use the I.D. Sensor Smartly

Here’s what makes the Dyson Airwrap ID revolutionary: its intelligent heat and style tracking. The device remembers your last used settings and adapts airflow and temperature based on your hair type. Over time, it learns your styling patterns meaning you get consistent, customised results with less trial and error.

To activate, simply tap the mode button to switch between curl, smooth, and dry. Watch as the display adjusts automatically no overheating, no guesswork.

Step 4: Set Each Section for Longevity

Once you’ve styled each curl or smoothed a section, switch to the cold shot mode for 5–10 seconds to lock in the shape. This cools the hair cuticle, ensuring the style lasts longer. It’s the secret step many skip but it’s what makes the difference between curls that drop and curls that last all day.

Step 5: Finish Like a Pro

For extra shine, mist a lightweight finishing spray or a drop of hair oil through the ends. If you want the “rich-girl blow-dry” effect, run your fingers through your hair instead of a brush — this preserves the movement while maintaining smoothness.
