The Dyson Beauty Thread

[sister13]

I wanted to start a new thread as a place to share news and updates as well as tips & tricks about Dyson Beauty. After being so incredibly skeptical about any of the Dyson items based on the extremely high price point, I am a total convert after purchasing my Dyson Airwrap last year during the pre-holiday sale at Sephora. 

As someone who has mostly airdried my hair in the last few years, especially since COVID, I realized that part of the reason for that was because I’m always in a rush and I almost never have time to blowdry, then heat style my hair because of how long it took. I also absolute hated the smell of my hair after using curling wands/irons/straighteners, even on low heat, my hair would get that burning kind of smell. I had a friend give rave reviews about the Dyson Airwrap, so I decided to purchase when it was on the 20% off sale. I’ve found that I can have fully styled hair in about 40 minutes from wet to dry, and the style lasts for me about a week (depending on which styling products I use). 

This has made the Airwrap a great value for me and I find I’m happier with my hair, it actually feels softer and shinier when I use the Airwrap than when I airdry it. The one I have is the Dyson Limited Edition Airwrap Multi Styler in Ceramic Pop . I love that it has a dryer attachment and lots of other options and how healthy and soft my hair stays when using it. I haven't even used it to it's full potential (mostly I've just used the dryer attachment and the larger curling barrel), but I love it so much! See the spoiler below for some of my pics after styling with the Dyson Airwrap. 

Please share your thoughts on any of the Dyson products, questions, or news and announcements to share with the Community. And, please post your looks or tips and tricks for getting the best deal, and for getting the most out of the Dyson products. I’ll update this post soon with some curated information and tips & tricks that may be helpful to the community!

As always, if there’s another thread for Dyson already, just let me know and I’ll redirect there! 

My Dyson!

Here's a few looks of my hair after styling with the airwrap:

@itsfi I see we have similar childhood traumas.  If you tell me that you had your bangs permed into an 80s pouff that you still needed to curl with a side order of burnt forehead... We'll practically be twins.  

Spoiler

Note... this isn't me... only because I'm not sure how I feel about those types of photos being on the internet... but I wore a strikingly similar style to this one I found online. Bonus marks if you can imagine the perm I insisted on in addition to this.

[itsfi]

We’d be fraternal twins @missjeanie! omg, the things on the internet. 💯 going with photos from the internet. You know me and privacy. lol. 

Soooo, interestingly, there’s nothing on the World Wide Web that is exactly what I had. I know, who knew what my poodle perm looked like was so original. 😳

Spoiler

okay, take these 2 pics, merge them, make the hair less voluminous and frizzy and more pouffy but still flat (and “wavy”or as wavy as tight curls can be) at the length and you have my hair do. 

It was tight, curly poodle “waves” in the back and sides with hint of straight-ish bangs in front and a splash of mullet vibes. Clearly, extra. 🙄 When I think back to those days, all that comes to mind is “well, I did have a nice tan year round.” Hahahaha! 

[missjeanie]

@itsfi Bahhahahahaha!!! I love it!!  Only because hindsight has me cackling over here!  The 80s were a magnificent time. I wonder if I could re-create these looks.  I do still have my crimping iron that might be able to re-create the complete mess of a perm I had going.  If only I had neon spandex bike shorts to really make the look.  

I think we've both come a long way ... a looooooong way.  lol

[itsfi]

Oh my goodness, @missjeanie, my hair guy told me that one of the styles he saw at this hair show he recently attended was crimping the hair and then curling it. Maybe you could try that?! btw, I absolutely love that you still have your crimping tool. Loooooove!! 😍 The utilities company had to read the meter at my parents' place so I went over to let them in. I contemplated whether to see if I could find an old school photo of me with my lovely poofy poodle mullet perm. 😅 

"If only I had neon spandex bike shorts to really make the look." 

Wait, aren't you on a low buy?! I mean, you could buy some. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Oh yes, we've come a long way, indeed, missjeanie, but given those pics, it's not that hard to come a long way. Bahhahahahaha!!

[missjeanie]

@itsfi I still have the crimper... no guarantees on if it still works!  This may be a weekend project now.  Project #sidepony .  It's going to be a rainy weekend.  We'll see how it goes.  Maybe Dyson would like to sponsor a BIC crimper attachment for the Airwrap?  Untapped market here... untapped market. 

[itsfi]

@missjeanie, and then other brands can follow suit. Competition. 

oh em gee, I've been laughing so hard that my cheeks hurt. 🤣

[missjeanie]

@itsfi Same!  Tomorrow's going to be quite the scene in my house if it's raining outside and I'm keeping myself busy with the 80s throwbacks.  

[sister13]

Omg I totally still have a crimper! Somewhere! I did kind of an amazing Stevie Nicks impersonation for a rugby skit a bunch of years ago. It was epic. @missjeanie @itsfi 

[missjeanie]

@sister13 I think we need to bring them back into vogue!!

[sister13]

I definitely love that dual aspect for traveling! Also, I know you tagged @itsfi but I’ll say I made the jump to more layers my last haircut or two and I was nervous about it but have really liked it. It just gave a little more shape and style for me.  @missjeanie 

[missjeanie]

You have such gorgeous hair @sister13 !  We need a Makeup Happy Hour tutorial!

[sister13]

Awww thanks! I will definitely do that one of these days! I’m always in a rush and forget to record despite my best plans!! But hopefully soon!  @missjeanie 

[sister13]

Ooh it looks so shiny and pretty! I haven’t tried all the attachments yet either, haha! I do love the styling features but also love how it feels way less damaging to my hair over time! 💗💗💗 Keep us posted! @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Yes, 100% agree @sister13 - it does feel less damaging! I love that! 💖 

[blackkitty2014]

Oh my goodness. Your hair is beautiful. You can denied it all you want but I think you’re a pro in curling hair. I love it so much @itsfi . I love your highlighter too 😍🥰❤️🌹

[itsfi]

omg, you flatter me @blackkitty2014, thank you! 🥰 I did an at home glaze earlier I. The week and it’s great for giving my hair a refresh. ♥️ My stylist and I have been working to find an espresso and a honey-caramel lowlights/highlights that I’m good with - blends into my hair and grows out well (not brassy). Work in progress.

[sister13]

It’s gorgeous and again, I would be remiss not to mention the shine! @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Awww, thank you @sister13! I've been incorporating an at-home glaze into my hair care routine (or trying to do so consistently - that's always the key, isn't it?) I usually go in to see my hair person every 6-8 weeks, depending on what we did to my hair during the previous appointment and how long I can go before needing to get in. So, depending on that, I'll use a glaze once a week at the end of week 4 and if I'm on an 8-week schedule, then again at the beginning of week 6 and then just a light application to just the ends in the middle of week 7. I'm bummed that Sephora no longer carries the dpHue Glossy Glaze, but it's available elsewhere and comes in a few different colors as well as a sheer / transparent shade which works really well too, especially if I have balayage done or a couple of different highlight colors.

@itsfi  Omg! Your hair looks gorgeous! Look at those bouncy waves!!!! It looks incredible!! I’m so impressed!! Your hair looks so healthy too!!! 

[itsfi]

You’re too kind @ather! Thank you! 🥰 I’ve been trying really hard to do a hair mask weekly, and keep my ends hydrated with a hair oil. 

[jaaayp]

So soft and pretty @itsfi !!! I think we need a Ceremonia product review from you 😂 is the Dyson helping you add volume around the crown of your head/hair?
