I’m so glad you did this review. I feel like the Dyson is too expensive, and I was interested in the Shark. I’ll just stick with my T3 hairdryer and my beachwaver curling iron. I’d rather spend the extra on face tools.
I seriously love my beach waver!!
No.W I need a beach waver. ❤
@@Christine-dz6wh me too!!!
Love that! Face tools for the win!!
@@MH_297 beachwaver is the brand! Best curling iron ever.
Good morning Angie ❤️ OMG..I am so thankful that I air dry my hair. I can't believe how expensive hair dryers are. I do sincerely appreciate how honest & precise your video is. I want to thank you. In a video awhile back you made comments about whether or not there is an age limit to wearing your hair long. I'm paraphrasing, but essentially you said hairstyle and age are not correlated. And we should wear our hair in a style that makes us feel best. I'm 62 & have 2C-3A curls. I like wearing it curly & have gotten both positive and age-related negative comments. Thanks for encouraging me to be comfortable with my hairstyle. I love your beautiful long tresses ❤️. PS I have the shirt you have on I the gray & white. Purchased via your Amazon shop. I highly recommend this shirt! Have a wonderful day ❤️
I just recently read that air drying can be worse than blow drying. I can’t keep this stuff straight!
I'm so happy you're wearing your hair how you like it instead of how society tells us to wear it! 💜
@@bnb0510 My understanding is that it depends on how you act dry your hair. For example, going to bed with wet hair is not a good idea because there may be an increase in breakage. I use a leave in conditioner made for air dying my curls. I also use Oleplex #1 & #3 about every 2 weeks. It's supposed to work by strengthening hydrogen bonds (weak bonds). For me this works great, but there was definitely a trial & error period. Good luck
Me too! I don’t have time to blow dry my hair 😂
Your hair sounds gorgeous!❤
Angie my understanding with the Dyson curl is that you should use it when your hair is almost but not fully dry. Drying your hair with the paddle brush first might keep it from holding curl. I don’t own one but my sister in law curled my hair with a Dyson and she lightly spritzed my hair with a water bottle first (because I started dry). It made pretty tight curls. I can’t attest to how long they hold as I haven’t used it enough. This was a great comparison video! You always come up with good ideas.
My curls last a week, I curl my hair when damp. The Dyson has improved the condition of my hair so it looks and appears thicker as it's no longer being damaged
That is definitely a key. It's supposed to dry with the air wrap.
That eye shadow and your brows are ON POINT. Love those colors. Lips are just ok for me.
When my hair was longer I purchased a Dyson hair dryer, I have fine thin hair and I thought it made my hair frizzy no matter what I tried and what product I put in. So I finally sold it to a friend that really wanted it, I am always amazed when I don't like products everyone loves. Great video!
I got my dyson and I’ve been using it for a year now and it has made my hair soooooo much healthier. I don’t really use it for the curling part, I don’t really love curls on me, but I do use the smoothing brush every day and my hair is amazing since I stopped straightening it with an iron.
Mine too! I feel like the Dyson has made my hair so much healthier!!
Love mine, I use the paddle brush until hair is damp then the curlers, curl, hold for 5 seconds, cool shot 5 seconds voila, takes 15 mins from start to finish and curls hold for a week
I recently got the Shark and I love it. When I style, especially with the flat brush or round brush, I turn down the heat, it's nice you can adjust it. Another thing, the curling attachment is a bit wider than the Dyson one is, so it does a looser curl from the start. Also, I don't have any problem finding the cold shot button with one hand, but that is probably practice. Since I don't have it at the highest heat, it doesn't take as long to cool down for the cold shot. In the end, there was no way I could ever afford a Dyson, but the Shark replaces my blowdrier and hot brush, and for the one time a year I curl my hair, it works, so now I have lots more room in my bathroom cupboard!
What condition does it leave your hair in using for a period of time?
@@jovickers5313 no different and possibly better than the Dyson because the temperature is slightly more adjustable. I just got the Shark last week and aside from having to switch barrels when curling, I absolutely love it.
@@kellyccc sounds good and at half the price a winner. Does it improve hair condition like the Dyson does? The Shark wasn't invented when I bought the Dyson 😢 Let's hope they both have a long shelf life??🤞
@@jovickers5313 I haven't used it long enough to be able to tell yet.
That was what I just telling my husband; I could get rid of two appliances off the counter.
So glad you did the comparison, as I was considering the Shark. I have the original Dyson dryer and will stick to that and my curling tools. Appreciate your thorough reviews!
I have a shoulder length bob and love the quick gentle blowout I get with the Dyson . I use the oval rough blowout followed by shaping with the fine-hair paddle brush. Another benefit of the Dyson is that the sound is pitched in a way that doesn't seem to bother my dogs (Shiba Inu) as much as my old traditional dryer. They stand still and tolerate a quick blowout after their towel dry now, whereas I used to have to shut the door and chase them around the room. For both the dogs' skin and my own scalp, I like to have the efficient low heat.
I don’t understand how Dyson can justify the price when it doesn’t really even work. Most of the people on YT are Dyson ambassadors so I don’t trust their opinion tbh. The people that aren’t end up saying they like the Shark better. Idk
I have the newer airwrap from Dyson and love it. I could never get the hang of a curling iron so I fell in love with the airwrap and the curls it makes. I did find I need to use products in my hair for the curls to last. My hair is long and fine. I used the Oribe Royal Blowout heat styling spray. I did have to spray that in my hands then onto the hair because it is pretty intense with some oil but the curls come out shiny and soft. I then just kind of smooshed the curls out - no brushing - sprayed them with ZCommon Magic Myst which seemed to perk up the curls.I slept on my hair, not up and just kind of finger brrushed my hair this morning and my curls are almost as good as when first done. There is definitely a learning curve with what works for everyone with the Dyson but I think that might be the case with any hairstyling tool. I love the Dyson and have fun playing with it. I had to think long and hard about it because of the cost but I am glad I bit the bullet. Just my two cents. Thanks for the informative video!
Hi Angie! I've had the Dyson airwrap for about 3 years now and I absolutely love it. The price tag is high but the value for me is in the experience and the results. Like you, I'm not a fan of the 'curling wands' and I would prefer they come out with a larger round brush. My hair has never looked better or been healthier.
I love mine too, the improved condition of my hair alone is worth the investment but I always use the wands because used on damp hair the curls hold a week, LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!
Yes, the temp tech in the Dyson is the main element that other devices don’t have and that is what keeps your hair healthier.
I wish they would upgrade the round brush using boar bristles and use the coanda effect. I agree that I would like a bigger version too. I use the smoothing brush and a curling barrel instead of the round brush, because I don't like how it blows air out in every direction. It's not innovative like their other attachments.
I have the Shark and LOVE it. With the option of THREE heat settings, just go down a heat level with the same high air setting to prevent hair damage. This commentary made it sound like you had no choice for all that heat. You do!!!
I am probably in the minority, but I bought the Dyson with all of the attachments. I could not tell the difference between my regular medium priced no frills dryer & a brush in comparison. to the Dyson.
I have long healthy hair and I HATED the Dyson dryer. It made my hair feel fried and I tried many settings and never use hottest settings. Returned for sure
My hair is baby fine, so I don't have a need for either. I had the Revlon dryer, and disliked it. Too heavy, and too hot. I'm really liking the Hot Tools Brand. The temperature is much cooler, and easier to maneuver.
Thanks for comparing the two. Big price difference! ❤😍
I too have/had thin hair but it's greatly improved after using the Dyson Airwrap. It may not be thicker but certainly looks it, possibly because the condition of my hair has improved?? Glad you found a solution
The Revlon is for people with thick hair, do you have the small one or the original one?
@@jovickers5313 thank you. I appreciate your input. 😊
I just bought the Shark and it curled so well that I looked like Shirley Temple until I brushed it out! I think it works better for curls if you use a texturizer and your hair is slightly damp. So it's not really a proper comparison if you're not following directions.
I think to give the curling attachments a fair shot, the hair needs to be damp. Curling dry hair is not going to hold the curl.
I have thin, fine, slightly longer than shoulder length hair that does not hold curl without the right product. I have been eyeing the airwrap for awhile but I think you just saved me $600 and I’ll keep using my curling iron. Thank you for your reviews!
What products do you use to hold your curls?
I love my Dyson, it has saved my hair which is super fine and naturally wavy. I use a styling gel, allow my hair to air dry till it’s just damp then curl. My curls last till I wash my hair- usually every 4-5 days.
I do not use a cool shot, just let the curl naturally cool.
Use the brad mondo wave tech foaming hair product before using the dyson. My curls would always flatten whenever I curled my hair, even with a curling iron. After I started using that mousse in my hair and then curling my hair, my curls now stay for days on end. It's a game changer. I use it before I use my dyson and I get the most beautiful curls that last all day! Just a tip for anyone who struggles with curls falling out. (: if that product doesn't interest you, a curling mousse is just so helpful with any brand. (:
I have been wanting to try his wave tech foam. I'm gonna have to try it! Before I ran out, I would sprits Color Wow Dream Coat for Curly Hair before I wrapped each individual curl. It made a big difference. The 0.8 inch barrel helps too!
@@jesss2145 definitely try it out! It's such a game changer with my hair routine. It's amazing!
Thanks for the tips -:)!
I found this online for heat In our lab tests, these dryers also came within a degree of each other when we measured the maximum temperature each one reached on its hottest setting-108°F for Dyson and 109°F for Shark-an indiscernible difference to my hair or scalp. That seems low though
Angie I’m pretty sure you don’t wash everyday
Can you do a day two or three of how you style your hair. Do you heat hair again!
My dyson is so worth it, my husband was able to score it for me for 260, but I would have paid full price after how much healthier it has made my hair. I’ve not touched a flat iron or straightener since last Christmas
I have been putting off the dyson for over an year.
I love my dyson dryer - I have had this since it was released and I absolutely would buy it tomorrow if it broke.
Now my question-
Would you repurchase the airwrap tomorrow if yours broke ???
Just curious
I would. X
I would! I used to use the Dyson blow dryer before I got the airwrap & loved it, but once I got the airwrap I never used the blow dryer again (gave it to my sister). I would definitely repurchase the Dyson if it broke!
Thank you very much for your reviews, always love them.
Did you ever tried any of the rotating beachwave?
Hi Angie, thank you so much for the comparison video. I love watching your channel! Your nail color today is beautiful. What is the brand and color?!
Wow thanks for your honesty. I feel like everyone raves on the Dyson products but I’ve never been convinced to ditch my hair dryer and curling/ flat iron.❤❤
Whatever works for each of us is what we stick withfor whatever reason. I treated myself to the Dyson Airwrap and LOVE it, also Dyson's customer service is EXCELLENT.
I'm 58 years old with hypothyroidism and I'm soooo glad I bought the Dyson. I was having major hair breakage and loss. I was thinking that I was heading to a bald style soon. I have spent a small fortune on hair dryers and irons that were supposed to be better for your hair to no avail. I used several hair repair products suggested by friends, still same issue. I decided to buy the Dyson hairdryer for grooming my Yorkies because of the low heat and fast drying would be easier on my dogs and thought I would try it on myself. Huge improvement. After I saw how much better my hair was doing, I invested in the straight iron for ironing the dogs and for my hair. My hair got even better. This year I invested in the air wrap, and it is what I use for me. The dogs are still groomed with the dryer and the flat iron. I have curly hair and the style holds well for me, but what I appreciate the most is that my hair doesn't look and feel like straw anymore and isn't coming out in large amounts in the shower anymore. For me, the Dyson is worth the investment!
Thank you Angie. Never paid attention to these hair dryers because of the price but I've enjoyed how much you love your hair dryer and curling iron. I"ll never fault a woman for spending on a daily use item that makes her feel good. I still love my basic hair dryer and Velcro rollers and I use fragrance free Aqua Net Hair spray but don't tell anyone. ;) II use very little hairspray because they either weigh my hair down or make it brittle. I use little hair spray because it dulls my hair. I'd love to find a hairspray that isn't bad for hair and doesn't require much. My crazy spend are on the skin care serums, hydrators/moisturizers and skin rejuvenation devices so if anyone wants to give me a tsk tsk on what I spend they can for that but I don't care. LOL Have a great day!
I blow dry, then use Caruso steam rollers. I only have to do this about once a week. I flip my head over each morning, run my fingers through my hair. Shoot some dry shampoo, then a few shots of hair spray and I'm good to go. Not so much work and money! FYI, My hair is as long as yours or a bit longer, I'm 64, and have colored my hair since I was 14.
I love my shark! I haven't really used the curling rods, but love the blow out brush! Also awesome to travel with! I have all the attachments and Shark just released a new attachment, a comb attachment, so I am sure there is more on the way. Also I tend to use it on medium heat for blow drying and styling and it does not get too hot.
I keep watching these Shark versus Dyson comparisons . I have the original DYson 3 years ago. I love the air wrap. That Silas two things that Conan my hair and blow dryers. I am naturally curly hair that has small curls when dried naturally. If I use heat either a dryer or a curling iron my hair become frizzy. When I use the curling barrels on the Dyson I leave my hair wet and Dey with the air wrap, cool shop it and then pin curl it as I finish the rest of the hair. If I dry the hair partially and then use the wrap the curl doesn’t set and get frizzy after a few minutes. I’d say at least for my hair using the air wrap on wet hair and also I use a curl enhancing mouse in my hair . I have long hair. Then it stays all week. Don’t dry first, style wet. This all said I bought a Shark limited edition last week so when I use it I will let you know if I like it as much or better.
As usual when I need good information you are the only person that has the right information. I was specifically looking for the heat difference and bingo you provide that information. Now I can make the right decision. I appreciate your channel so much. Thank u
I wish I could buy a Dyson!
Also, love the red lipstick!
I thank you so much for doing this video. Thank you for your honesty. I so wish I could try the Dyson before I bought it to see if I could justify it. My hair is fine and has always been my most frustrating feature!
Hey Angie🤗 love the new and very different lippy on you. Beautiful!💋
Thanks so much for the comparison. Really needed this, as SO hard to make a decision on these tools...and I literally have hair tools from the dark ages lol😱
I have the TYMO Ionic air brush. It is far cooler than the Revlon and I get Salon Quality blow outs. I love this thing and it was only $50. If I want curls, my curling iron still works great.
I have wavy hair and the only heat I use on it is low heat diffuser. I bought the shark blow dryer with the diffuser. It’s so amazing!
Happy it works for you!!
Hi from Belgium ! I use the Dyson for 2 years : I think it's better with damp hair to get the curls you dream of :-) Thank you for the video !
My sister received the Dyson as a Christmas gift last year. I tried it and didn’t like it at all. It’s difficult to use. I have much better results with my cheap blow dryer and a round brush. I live in Canada so as you probably know , everything is more expensive up here. I think my brother in law paid $900. And right now on Amazon Canada it’s $1200. It’s ridiculous! Thanks Angie for your very informative videos!
By the way I love your eye makeup! I was a bit shocked at first by the red lipstick because I have never seen you wear. you had mentioned once you didn't feel it suited you but I like it.
Thank you for the review Angie. Thorough as always.
I’ve seen some influencers get good results with the Dyson, but they definitely use product to enhance their curl. Who knows how long it’s lasts though.
Would you consider reviewing the Voloom volumizing iron? It looks interesting and I saw an influencer who got great results.
Thanks for all the great content!❤
I have similar hair to you and I use the Dyson air wrap and my curls last for two days. I've never dried my hair as much as you did before curling it. Maybe that's it?
I have straight hair that doesn’t hold a curl and yet the Dyson works amazingly! Curl holds for days! However, there is NO reason to use the curling wand as the 3rd step- it should be used as a dryer not a curling iron and it makes hair smooth WHILE curling. I’ve been using it for 3 years and it’s amazing!
Thanks for the honest and informative review, Angie. I can always count on you to give the best information. XXOO ❤️
You are so welcome!
Love your comparison videos 🤩 And definitely love your makeup today! 💖💄Thank you!
Thanks so much 😊
Love you Angie. I have the same Dyson that you have and have had it for almost 2 years. I love it. I use it for a rough blowout to about 85% dry. Then i use the airwraps and curl/dry my hair all over. I have long blond color treated hair but I only wash 1-2 times a week. My hair is about the same length as yours. I get compliments Every week from people at work including today. I styled/dried my hair Sunday night and have not done anything to it since except brush it. My curls soften over night and gradually through the week but i think the results I get from the Dyson are amazing.
I have both and love my shark way more. It works great on thicker and curly hair. Shark copied and mastered the coanda effect. Dyson is best on fine hair it seems, the Dyson round brush had very little tension on my hair which was so disappointing because I really wanted to love the Dyson. I never expected to like the shark more. At the Dyson price, I should be wowed! I think given a little more time the shark will continue to perfect the way they do with their vacuums.
Cool shot is an important factor for me as well. But I do see that the Dyson is giving you some frizz, but the Shark looks smoother. I do think the cool shot issue is a plus for the Dyson- almost worth the extra money. I still can’t spend that much for a dryer, as my other 2 dyers work well !
Thanks Angie. I’ll never be able to get any dyson . It’s great to have affordable options ❤
Love your comparison videos❣️ And definitely love your makeup today! 💖💗💖
Good video, good comparison! Love to see Angie with shoulder length hair, think it would look great! I'm saying this very kindly, not snarky in any way...
Thank you so much for this review! Did you use any product for curls in your hair?
Hair challenged too - have gotten hair tangled knotted with round brush! Thanks for the detailed video - definitely a pass for me.
So far I have no problem with my less expensive hair dryer, but I would love to have the Dyson but it is just to expensive unless i find some fantastic sale. I wear my hair in a short bob and it is thick so I do have to have a good hair dryer. I am so glad you did this comparison to show the difference between really any other hair dryer. Thanks ❤
I’ve been saving my Ulta points for the Dyson. I’m hoping to get it down to around $300 which is the only way I would spend that kind of money. My hair is gray so I need gentle and not too hot.
This review was very helpful because I was thinking of purchasing one of them. I’ll stick with using separate tools that are tried and trued, and reliable. Have you ever used the Le Duo from L’ange? Love the curls I get from it
Me: hanging out on TH-cam waiting for Angie's upload ...
I bought the Dyson for my 20 year old daughter for her birthday last and she loves it - I would love to have one but I absolutely would not spend that kind of money on myself! So I appreciate this video so much!!
Justin Hickox reviewed the Laifen, another Dyson knockoff, and said he prefers that one which is cheaper, too. This always happens with new tech, which is why I am never first in line to buy. I know knockoffs will come along. But i seldom use a hairdryer any more, since it made my thin, fine, chin length hair frizzy. Now it's shiny and healthy without all the heat.
I have the Dyson Airwrap, LOVE IT. No other hair device needed & it's improved the condition of my hair drastically, so in that respect alone it's well worth the money. From very wet hair to styled takes 15 mins. I have the long curling barrels & use them on damp hair, the curl doesn't hold if I curl on dry hair.
Love your red lipstick! Gorgeous!!!!! Thank you for these honest reviews. Looking for some new appliances for my fine limp hair!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the video. I think I will just stay with my T3 hair dryer, I am ordering the curling iron you recommend.
Hope you like it!
I don't understand why you did all these steps. I rough dry then section and do the air curler. I put my hair in a huge satin scrunchy at night and it lasts for days. I would never waste the time to do the flat dryer and then the rest.
Your eye make up looks amazing today .....Love the colors that are on. Love your videos
Hi Angie,. I have long, straight, lightened hair and have to use a styling product in my hair so that it holds the curl for the day (or more). You may also need to use a flexible hairspray. Styling mousse makes my normally soft, shiny hair hard, un-flexible & un-bouncy. Thermal sprays leave my hair stringy. Today I purchased the John Frieda Air Whipped Foam "Lightweight volume lifting mousse for bouncy, touchable softness". It says that it has "Air'silk technology for fine or flat hair".
For waves/curl use the comfy, fabric covered foam rollers with bendy ends on my hair; leaving them in for a couple of hours for soft waves and overnight for curls & volume...which I can then "brush out" for the Hollywood glamour look. The wave/curl will stay in all week if you make your own setting lotion by boiling up & straining linseeds. You keep the slightly jelly-like liquid in the refrigerator. Only make a small batch if you don't want to add alcohol as a preservative. I don't put in alcohol, but add a drop of rose oil for fragrance. Making your own setting lotion with linseeds is extremely economical and is kind to your hair, as well as being effective. I just bought the John Frieda foam for convenience sake...so hopefully it is a success.
👱♀️❤
Oh my goodness! You have the patience of Job to go through all that! Thank you!
I just got the shark. I'm obsessed, my thin hair has never had this much volume. Thank you!
is your hair healthier?
I’m so glad you did this review. I recently bought the Dyson Airwrap but kept wondering about the Shark.
I have watched a few of these Dyson vs Shark as well as Revlon One Step vs Shark videos. It’s holiday sale season so I am in research/hunting mode. I like that we have options and tiers of pricing. I think that getting too hot is a problem for the Revlon & Shark. I DO think the pivoted angle with the Shark is a clever design, but the handle area with the buttons & vents close to one another needs to be revised.
Thank you Angie! I always love to hear your honest reviews. 😎
My hats off to any of you that spend time doing your hair. I can’t stand fussing with my hair. Brush, bungee band into a pony, curl bangs - 3 minutes tops and I’m done. I am really in awe of women that do all that work. I never use my $20.00 Target blow dryer. $600.00 no way!
Can I ask how damp your hair was when curling it? I know it has to still be damp when curling with Dyson. I just want to say I love my Dyson now but it had a learning curve for sure. Also I picked up the new barrel that switches direction instead of using two and it’s been a game changer. Now I patiently wait for the other new attachment to come in stock
I am very satisfied with my Dyson. Not so easy at the beginning, but after few times it is perfect. I have spent to much money with other brand and never satisfied.
Hi Angie! I love my Dyson hair dryer. I use it on cold air. My hair is healthier however I purchased the Dyson airwrap and returned it. I have long fine straight hair and does not hold curl at all.
Great review- this makes me super glad my hair is super curly and I don’t need either of these.
Hi Angie, thanks for the video! I have short hair so I don't need anything like this, but it's interesting to see what you do with these. I must admit I'm surprised that the Dyson curls fell out after only 6 hours. And I think you made a very important point about not using extremely hot styling tools. These can definitely damage the hair.
I'm too cheap to spend that much on hair tools! Even $250 is a lot of money to me although I suppose it can be justified if the tool lasts for a few years.
And I like that lipstick on you! Red is fun sometimes, isn't it? My favorite red lipstick is the Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Manic. It's bright, but on me, not too bright for everyday wear. And no scent or flavor!
(Note: I don't work for Urban Decay, and I didn't get paid to mention the product. I also don't receive free products to review. )
I love my Urban Decay products... Haven't bought a bad one yet! 💯
I watched several other videos doing a comparison just as you have done and they all said the same thing about the Shark cool shot not working well, and the fact that the Shark needs to use 2 barrels compared to the Dyson’s 1 barrel. The only difference in the other videos were they all said that the Shark made better curls then the Dyson and the fact that the Sharks head bends for easier blow drying. I would imagine by next year the Shark will make the updates it needs to so it will be a better comparison. I just can’t see paying $500 or in some cases $600 for a blow dryer.
You always explain things well Angie.
I have the shark and I love it. I have hair extensions and it dries them so fast. I do still use my beauty works wand for curls as like you said the curls don’t last as long x
I love your thorough reviews, Angie. Someone might have already mentioned this, but Dyson has refurbished sets of their original and second versions of their Airwrap available on their website for much less of a cost. I still don't want to pay $400 for the newer version, so I'm just continuing to use my T3, which does a good job and my hair is still pretty healthy.
I just love your top. I think I have 3 colors now because I just ordered another one! I bought the Revlon I think but returned it to Ulta because I heard it burns your hair. Since I bought the Oribe Royal Blowout my regular hair dryer does a great job. I don't even need to flat iron! You did have to turn me on to the Spendy stuff, eh?! I just bought more in the Sephora sale. Thank you, Angie ~Lori
I have the original Dyson Airwrap and just bought 3 of the new attachments. The new attachments are a clear upgrade. I didn't really believe they would be much better, so I was pleasantly surprised. I did a sloppy version of the Curly Girl Method for a couple years and cannot go back to using a curling iron and straightener. The Airwrap is my compromise. It can't really replace a curling iron. Now that I don't expect it to, I like it better. That said, the long skinny barrels (0.8") are the closest comparison to a curling iron (only needing one barrel is a game changer). I also prefer using it like a curling wand for beachier waves. I find the Airwrap more comparable to a straightener with my new smoothing brush and Coanda smoothing dryer attachments. I did not feel as positive with the original attachments.
I’m glad I don’t have either. I’m just going to stick with my 1 in curling iron and T3 blow dryer i got for cheap at Costco. Thinking of buying the three barrel crimper curling iron but not sure it works? If anyone has tried it let me know how it might have worked for you.😃
Hi Angie, I just wanted to add, your hair is supposed to be a little bit wet when using both of them for styling, and probably why you haven't had the best luck with holding the style. Also, you are far more comfortable with the Dyson, you have been using it for a long time, the shark is brand new to you, and of course will feel awkward. I would bet for anyone who started with the Shark, would likely feel a little awkward find the buttons on the Dyson, that is just how it goes with most people and repetition. Just wanted to add this, bc I don't think it is worth $300 more for the Dyson other than the concerns with the cool shot, every other difference is very minor imho.
I agree, both are crazy expensive, but the dyson isn’t 300.00 for the difference in price.
I have never been able to curl my hair . Not only is it super straight, I have no talent with a curling iron. Last year I go my daughter and I the original AirWrap with points from Ulta (My hairstylist is in the Salon at Ulta), I tried it once and she took it away from me. I did not watch any videos and had no luck with the brief try I gave it. Well, I saw the new one was coming out and I had enough points for another (I saved my points for years). So I got the new one, watched a couple of videos and had at it. I have never had better hair or more compliments. So much volume! I use it to dry and curl my hair at night and the next morning I just run my fingers through it. I love the new Dyson (for longer hair than the original, so my daughter keeps using the new one, too. But she prefers a curling iron. Kids these days have skills with hair and makeup compared to people my age.)
Angie I so appreciate your detailed reviews!
I love my Dyson airwrap! Great comparison video, thank you! I feel like my hair is healthier using the airwrap, I know its expensive, but to me, totally worth the $$. My curls last a few days, till I'm ready to wash again. Can you review the Revlon One Step, Blow out curls? In theory, it looks like a great new item. Thanks for the great videos!
Your hair looks amazing. I would like to know how you keep it healthy and thick. Thanks.
I have the Dyson hairdryer and I like it. I have wavy hair a enjoy it. I have considered the Airwrap for times that I want to curl it. I don’t believe it will be a good investment for me. My fine hair doesn’t hold a curl well.
I like the Dyson because it doesn't damage your hair. I also believe the Dyson has ionic technology. There are many cheaper items out there but the Dyson seems to be better quality. It took me a while to get used to the Dyson. I found I needed to use a styling product with the Dyson for curls if I wanted them to last. Dyson also has interest free credit and you can by additional tools if you need to. Xx
Yes, I've seen that people who use the curling attachments need styling hold products + they usually pin the curls to let them cool & set... too much work for me! 😉
@@AngieHotandFlashy I have very similar hair texture and length as you Angie. Please try L’Oréal TecniART PLI thermo-modeling spray before using Dyson or any other hot tool for really good staying power without weight. No pinning necessary and I agree…far too much effort any other way. Such a shame!
Everyone says the shark is hotter and says that’s a negative.. which I do understand a big appeal is the minimal damage claims but y’all know you can just turn the heat setting down?
I was wondering the same. It supposedly has multiple heat settings
Very helpful and well made comparaison ! Thank you ❤
Love my beachwaver…curls last for days
So glad you did this comparison! My daughters and I have been trying to decide which one to ask Santa for! 😉
This is such a thorough review. I won't buy or use either of these but I can appreciate the time and thought you put into this video. (Joan Nogas ❤️)
I loved my Airwrap while it worked! But, it was cooked after 2 ½ years. Dyson can’t help because “it’s out of warranty” and so I’m out $750. Not happy!
Neither one is worth the price. I almost bought the Dyson but the reviews didn’t justify the price. I have the Bionic curling iron that does an excellent job. Thank you for the review 😄
Interesting review. Some similarities, but also very different from some others I’ve seen. Curious, did you use any products to help hold the curl. Adding an edit to say that the difference was in how you used the devices
You all should buy the Cozy Confidence no heat hair wrap. It’s Amazing!!! For any type and length hair and I do not sleep in it just wear until dry, I use blow dryer and beautiful bouncy thick waves. 🤗
I love my Dyson, but I have to say, the look you got with the Shark, yes the curls fell out - but the look was still very pretty - just a slight kinda bend - which I can't get with my Dyson (I have the new one) - but maybe I should try to see if I can get that with the paddle brush.
Love the red lip and simple eye on you!!
I agree with the curling part of my Dyson. The curling rods blow my hair making more frizz than curl.
