Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x review: does the new multi-styler justify its hefty price tag? I put it to the test

Dyson's upgraded Airwrap promises faster results and smarter tech. Here's what it gets right - and where it falls short

The best hot brushes for a salon finish at home, tested

Once best known for its floor cleaners and hand dryers, Dyson has carved out a space in the electrical beauty market over the past decade. Its Supersonic hair dryer was followed by the Airwrap multi-styler, a revolution in hair styling that uses air rather than direct heat to curl hair - and regularly sells out in stores worldwide despite its high price.

There have been two updates to the Airwrap since - a 2022 upgrade and the app-driven Airwrap id, which launched last year with variants for both curly and straight hair. This summer's Co-anda 2x is a completely re-tooled product, with a more powerful motor for faster styling, and new attachments, including an air-powered straightener. I tested the new model to find out if it could really be worth 580.
