read our full review of the Airstyle 6-in-1 here<\/a>.<\/p>\nFeatures<\/h2>\n
Surprisingly, it\u2019s the Revamp that has more features. Though the Airwrap Complete (the model with all the accessories) comes with eight attachments, compared to the Revamp\u2019s six, most of these are doubled up: curling barrels of two widths, with one for each curl direction, and a firm and soft heat-styling paddle brush. The final two are a pre-styling dryer and a bristle brush. In the newer model, the Dyson Airwrap multi-styler, you get one of each size of curling barrel, redesigned to change direction as needed.<\/p>\n
With the Revamp, you get a pre-styling dryer, a curling brush (needing only one attachment for both directions), a heat-styling paddle brush and a bristle brush. On top of these, you also get a diffuser for bringing out your natural curls, and a curling tong for tighter curls.<\/p>\n
Design<\/h2>\n
The Airwrap has more of a premium feel to it than the Revamp. The attachments slide into place with a satisfying click, and the switches are intuitively laid out, so you can change settings without looking at them. It\u2019s a very sturdy device \u2013 but perhaps a little on the hefty side. It\u2019s not too big to hold, but it is slightly heavy. It\u2019s not a problem unless I spend a long time using it, particularly if I have to grip the device firmly to put tension into my hair.<\/p>\n
The Revamp doesn\u2019t feel so high-end, but it doesn\u2019t feel cheap, either. It\u2019s more comfortable to hold \u2013 it\u2019s lighter, and the handle tapers towards the top, which is a thoughtful touch. The buttons and switches are mostly easy to use and intuitive, with the exception of the cold shot button: it\u2019s right next to the \u2018remove attachment\u2019 button, and they feel very similar, so I would very often press the wrong button when I wasn\u2019t looking.<\/p>\n
Styling hair<\/h2>\n
The Dyson Airwrap sells itself on the basis that it styles without extreme heat \u2013 in fact, Dyson says that the Airwrap measures the temperature 40 times a second to keep it under 150\u00baC, believed to be the temperature above which hair is damaged.<\/p>\n
Revamp, however, make no such promises for their Airstyle. In fact, one of the first things you notice about the Airstyle is that it does indeed get hot. It\u2019s not hot enough to burn your skin, so I don\u2019t think it\u2019s as hot as a traditional straightener or curling tong, but it does get uncomfortable when you hold it close to your scalp and ears on full heat.<\/p>\n
As for the results, there\u2019s no denying that the Dyson is better. The straight styles are smoother and shinier \u2013 and with the Revamp, the paddle is a bit too wide, making it hard to get the underside fully straightened. Curls made with the Dyson are more defined and hold for longer and, let\u2019s be honest, using the Airwrap for curls is fun.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not to say I wasn\u2019t happy with what I could achieve with the Revamp. While the styles weren\u2019t flawless, I think part of that came down to technique \u2013 with more practice, I think I\u2019d be able to refine it a bit. I liked the way it looked, and I don\u2019t mind too much about a few odd strands that didn\u2019t curl as tightly as the others.<\/p>\n
Value for money<\/h2>\n
The Dyson Airwrap is a premium product, and you can tell that from both the design and how well it works. But it\u2019s still a lot of money to invest in a hair styler.<\/p>\n
So, while the Revamp isn\u2019t as good a styler as the Airwrap, it\u2019s still a good product, and the price is a lot more affordable. It might not knock your socks off, but I doubt you\u2019d be disappointed with what you can do for the price.<\/p>\n
Verdict<\/h2>\n
So, which should you buy? The Dyson or the Revamp?<\/p>\n
To me, it comes down to how you\u2019d use it. Personally, I\u2019ve found that I mostly reach for one of the two to give my hair a blow-dry after a shower or to neaten it up quickly before work. I would use the curling attachments less often, on occasions when I\u2019d dress up a bit. While the Dyson might give more polished results, the Revamp still does a good job. So, given the price difference, I think I would choose to buy the Revamp.<\/p>\n
However, if you\u2019re the sort of person with the energy to get up and curl your hair before work every morning, or you\u2019re keen on salon-perfect, Instagram-worthy results every time, then you can\u2019t go wrong investing in the Dyson Airwrap.<\/p>\n
