5 Best Dyson Hair Tools of 2026 for Salon-Worthy Blowouts

Anyone who has tried the best Dyson hair tools immediately understands the hype: sleek designs and innovative features—including airflow- and temperature-regulating technology—that make drying and styling easier, faster, and more intuitive. For example, most tools use smart heat sensors that automatically adjust the temperature based on your hair type and how close the device is to your scalp. Even the hair dryers come with versatile attachments—diffusers, flyaway tamers, and straighteners, you name it—so you can upgrade your current stock of one-trick stylers. Some devices also offer Bluetooth compatibility so you can connect to the brand's app and save your most commonly used features.

Across the entire product lineup, Dyson promises faster styling, less frizz and heat damage, stronger hold, and salon-worthy results. And as editors who have put every Dyson tool through the wringer, we can vouch for plenty of those claims. Ahead, we break down the Dyson tools that we think are worth investing in, depending on your hair texture and needs.

Curl and Tell: Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x Multi-Styler and Dryer Curly+Coily

Why it’s worth it: When you think the original Airwrap couldn’t get any better, the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x comes along to prove us wrong. Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of multi-stylers because it seamlessly dries, curls, and straightens hair in record time. While the price tag is steep, it’s worth every penny—see the 2026 Best of Beauty Award seal for proof. This particular Airwrap has the most high-powered motor of all Dyson tools, spinning at 150,000 RPM (revolutions per minute), which means it smoothes and dries hair in less time than ever. (In comparison, the standard Airwrap clocks in at 110,000 RPM.) The tool also automatically lowers its power when it senses that it’s been put down, so you can have peace of mind when you need to pause mid-styling. The device weighs in at just under a pound (making it the lightest tool on this list)—a useful feature for those with longer, thicker hair, especially curls and coils that need to be sectioned out. (Repeat after us: No sore arms!)

No matter which of the six included attachments you use, from a curl-friendly diffuser to a volumizing round brush, the Co-anda2x instantly recognizes which one you’re using and adjusts the temp based on your previous setting. A recent addition our editors love: The new Air Straightener 2x attachment (sold separately, if you choose the Curly+Coily version) uses high-velocity airflow between two smoothing plates to pull hair taut—minus the overly heated tug-and-pull you might get from a traditional flatiron. P.S. Similar to the Airwrap I.D., there’s a Straight+Wavy version that includes the straightener attachment and a smaller barrel, rather than the diffuser and wide-tooth tension comb attachment included with the Curly+Coily version.

Custom Code: Dyson Airwrap I.D. Multi-Styler and Dryer

Why it’s worth it: Since its debut in 2018, the Dyson Airwrap has reserved a permanent spot in our editors’ hairstyling routines, racking up seven Best of Beauty and Readers’ Choice Awards along the way—including a coveted Best of Beauty Breakthrough Award in 2019 and Best of Beauty Award in 2025. In 2024, the brand upgraded its iconic styler with the Airwrap I.D., available in two versions: Straight/Wavy (with a thicker curling attachment and a flyaway smoother) and Curly/Coily (with six standard attachments, plus a diffuser and wide-tooth comb).

The Airwrap I.D. is a smarter take on the original—proof that even an already-great hair tool still has room to improve. Both versions feature Bluetooth connectivity that links to the Dyson app, letting you create a personalized hair profile. Based on your hair type and thickness, you can tweak heat settings, select your preferred curling sequence, and follow guided styling tutorials, which the device recognizes for the next time you style (based on the previous settings you chose). Some editor-loved attachments—including a conical barrel with a tapered tip, a large round volumizing brush for maximum bounce, and a hair dryer attachment that the brand claims dries hair in eight minutes compared to the original model’s 15 minutes—round out why this customizable tool is so beloved and worth the price tag.

Like the original Airwrap, there’s a bit of a learning curve, but that’s nothing a little practice (and the guided tutorials!) can’t solve. P.S. If you already own the old Dyson Airwrap, don’t fret—it’s compatible with all six of the newer I.D. attachments, so you can buy those separately if you’re not ready to dish out the extra money.

Smooth Moves: Dyson Airsmooth Styling Dryer Brush

Why it’s worth it: Just when we thought Dyson had every hair category covered, it announced the Airsmooth: a dedicated wet-to-dry round brush designed for drying, smoothing, and volumizing hair in one swoop. Although the Airwrap comes with a round brush attachment, our editors make the case for this standalone version. Instead of a standard barrel-shaped head, the Airsmooth is designed with a sleek, teardrop shape that lets you get as close to the root as possible and add volume—or, on the other end, flick the ends for a bouncy, blowout-inspired look. The tapered, hyper-flexible bristles—which is thanks to Dyson’sPivotFlex and Anti-Snag technologies—allow the teeth to bend up to 90 degrees to gently release knots without snagging or creating unnecessary tension. The bristles sit on an open base, too, which helps distribute the high-pressure airflow evenly rather than in one concentrated stream, resulting in a smoother finish without the dreaded scalp burn, even at its highest setting.

And, like all Dyson tools on this list, the Airsmooth uses smart heat technology to monitor its temperature 100 times a second and adjust accordingly based on your hair type. We put the launch to the test amongst four Allure editors across many hair styles, from fine, long hair to thick coils, and found that it performed best when used in smaller sections for a bouncy, smooth blowout. But if you have fine hair, Allure content director Sophia Panych recommends using the narrow edge of the brush head to get the most lift at the root.

Work Smarter, Not Harder: Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer

Why it’s worth it: The latest upgrade to the original Supersonic Hair Dryer (a classic that we still haven’t retired), the Dyson Supersonic Nural automatically adjusts heat settings as you move it closer to your scalp, preventing sudden heat spikes and protecting your delicate skin. In fact, it took home a 2024 Best of Beauty Breakthrough Award for its innovative Time to Flight sensor, which detects how far it is from your hair.

Plus, it remembers your most-used settings, seamlessly adapting the heat and airflow, and can also sense which of the five included magnetic (!) attachments—a concentrator, diffuser, wide-tooth comb, a little hook for flyaways, or a ring for gentle airflow—you've popped on, adjusting its temperature and airflow accordingly. That’s on top of its three speed settings, four heat levels, and cold-shot feature, so you can style your hair precisely and set diffused curls in place. We’d also like to add that some editors have even styled their entire heads in under five minutes. And if you need to pause to re-section, it instantly detects when you set it down, lowering airflow and noise until you’re ready to pick it up again.

Sleek Status: Dyson Airstrait Straightener

Why it’s worth it: We can still hear the sizzle and smell the burnt hair from our high school days—frantically running a straightener over our damp hair before sprinting out the door (which, might we add, you should never do). If only we had the Dyson Airstrait back then, which allows you to dry and straighten your hair with one device—saving you precious time (even if you’ve swapped school for the office). Unlike traditional straighteners that can cause damage and frizz with excessive amounts of heat, this tool skips hot plates entirely. Instead, the Airstrait uses unheated tension bars to hold damp or dry hair (emphasis on damp, never wet) in place while high-velocity air (up to 285 degrees Fahrenheit) is blown at a precise 45-degree angle to quickly dry and smooth. Once you’re done heat-styling, run the Cool setting through each section to set your look.

“At temperatures this low, this tool is unlikely to cause damage to even wet hair,” New Brunswick, New Jersey-based cosmetic chemist Trefor Evans previously told Allure. Plus, built-in thermostats regulate airflow temperature up to 16 times per second to minimize heat damage, leaving you with shinier hair every time.
