My Favorite Pricey Air Styler Is on Sale for October Prime Day (Plus Some Cheaper Alternatives)

Call me an enabler, but since I got my Dyson Airwrap years ago, I've been hounding my friends to do the same. Understandably, they don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for a hair tool when they can just use mine if they ask nicely. Unfortunately, you can't use mine, but you don't have to pay $600 for your own, either: My favorite multi-styling device is on sale for Amazon's October Prime Day.

Why I love the Dyson Airwrap

This thing has been around for years now and revolutionized the hairstyling game by finding a way to use blowing air to not only dry, but curl. I actually remember where I was when I first saw a video of someone using one on social media back in 2018, but I couldn't quite afford one until a few years later.

Now that I own one, I love my Airwrap, and think it was worth every penny because it allowed me to get rid of multiple curling irons and hair dryers and it cuts the time it takes me to do my hair on wash day by at least half. Even if it didn't make drying and styling my hair so much easier, I'd still love it because of how voluminous and smooth my hair looks after using it. (Shoutout to the influencer whose video I watched in 2018. She was right.)

A rare discount of a pricey haircare tool

For October Prime Day, the tool is 17% off, bringing the price down from $599.99 to $499.99-$50 lower than the $550 it cost during July 2024's Prime Day. For that price, you get the Airwrap, six attachments, a cleaning brush, and a case to store it all.

Still, $499.99 might be too steep for you, especially if you're anticipating the infamous learning curve that comes with switching from traditional hot tools to an air styler. Luckily, there are some great October Prime Day deals on other multistylers that mimic the Airwrap's functionality at a fraction of the price, so whether you want to get used to using one of these before pulling the trigger on the big guy or you just don't ever want to spend that much coin on your hair, there are options out there.

First, I love a good blowout brush, and it was the only hot tool I kept when I made the switch to my Dyson. The round brush that comes with the Airwrap is pretty small; you might find that you need a bigger one. If that's true for you, the Inglam hair dryer brush set-which includes a standard dryer attachment, a diffuser attachment, a brush attachment, and a round brush attachment-might be your best option. Typically $77.49, it's $61.99 for the shopping holiday.

For the smaller curls you associate with the Airwrap, you can try the OKWRAP dupe. While newer Airwrap models use a single, modifiable barrel to produce both left- and right-turning curls, the OKWRAP dupe is more similar to older models in that it requires you to switch between two different attachments to get curls that go in opposite directions. Other than that, it's pretty similar, but at a much lower price. Right now, it's $56.08, compared to its usual price of $65.99.
