  "account": "The Dyson Airwrap i.d. is a revolutionary hair styling tool that sets itself apart from conventional devices by utilizing airflow to perform various styling tasks, such as drying, curling, smoothing, and volumizing. This innovative approach offers a more efficient and versatile styling experience, particularly for individuals who frequently switch between different styling techniques.\n\nAt its core, the Airwrap i.d. is a powerful 1,300W styling handle that generates a strong airflow of 13.5 litres per second. It features three heat settings and three airflow speeds, along with a 2.675-meter cable and a lightweight design weighing only 590 grams. The device comes with multiple attachments, each designed to perform a specific function, such as a dryer, curling tool, smoothing tool, or volumizing brush.\n\nThe unique feature of the Airwrap i.d. is the Coanda effect, which allows high-velocity air to follow a curved surface and draw nearby hair towards it, effectively wrapping the strand around the barrel. This technique eliminates the need for manual wrapping around a conventional hot tong, making the styling process more streamlined and convenient. The device offers different barrel sizes for various hair types and styling needs, including a 40mm long barrel, conical barrel, soft smoothing brush, and large round volumizing brush.\n\nThe Airwrap i.d. also includes an automated curling feature through the MyDyson app, which stores personalized curl profiles and automatically executes the styling process with optimal timing. This technological innovation reduces the learning curve associated with using the Airwrap and makes the styling process more accessible and efficient. The device's heat control system combines controlled heat with airflow, allowing users to fine-tune the balance between heat and air for optimal results.\n\nAccording to independent testing by TechRadar, the Airwrap i.d. demonstrates strong performance, particularly in curling and longer straight to wavy hair. The device's versatility and ease of use make it an attractive option for frequent stylists who value convenience and efficiency over conventional styling methods. However, for occasional users or those with specific hair types, the Airwrap i.d. may be overkill, as its premium price may not justify its usage frequency.",
  "summary": "The Dyson Airwrap i.d. remains one of the most talked about hair tools because it approaches styling differently: airflow does much of the work normally handled by hot plates or curling tongs. Our verdict is that its premium positioning makes most sense for people who regularly switch between curls, blowouts, smoothing and drying, rather than anyone who needs one simple styling function.
