The Airwrap is designed to work best on wet or damp hair—that's what Dyson itself recommends. It's drying and styling simultaneously, which leads to longer-lasting results. If I want to use it more like a curling wand without full-on washing my hair, I'll spray water on my hair to dampen it before use.

This week, while staying with friends, I had the opportunity to use a Dyson Airwrap for the first time. It not only dried my hair quickly but also gave it gorgeous volume and left practically no flyaways.
