4 Mistakes to Avoid When Using the Dyson Airwrap

While discussing with Nazima about Dyson Airwrap, she provided valuable insights and tips, including some common mistakes that many people tend to make when using this product.

According to her,

“Almost everyone knows how to use it properly but still have some mistakes that they make unknowingly”

If I am not wrong, you may be the one among them!

However, In this article, I will share these mistakes on her behalf to help you avoid them and get the most out of your Dyson Airwrap.

Here we go! Let’s dive into it…

Note: If you’re not familiar with Nazima and our discussion on the Airwrap, you can read about it in my 30-minute chat with her by following this link.

Mistake 1: Your hair is too wet or too dry

Nazima says,

“Don’t style your hair when it’s too dry or too wet.”

This is the first thing you should always be careful about.

If you style your hair when it’s too wet, it can be too heavy to curl around the barrel, and the curls won’t hold. Similarly, if the hair is too dry, it can change shape and cause the curls to lose their hold quickly.

If your hair feels dry, use a water spray to add a little bit more moisture. The Airwrap uses air mostly, but it still needs some dampness to work effectively.

Mistake 2: Not using the Cool Shot properly

Who doesn’t want their curls to stay looking great for longer instead of falling flat after a short amount of time? Definitely no one, Right?

So why are you not using this?

There’s a button on the Airwrap that turns it on and off, but it also has another setting called the “Cool Shot“. When you press the button up, it goes to the “Cool Shot” setting.

“Cool Shot” doesn’t get super cold, but it gets to a cooler temperature that is just right for setting your hair in curls. The aim of this feature is to help your curls last longer and stay in shape.

Use the heat for just a little bit, maybe two or three seconds, and then use the “Cool Shot” for a longer time, like five to ten seconds.

Mistake 3: Not using a heat protectant

Even though the Airwrap uses lower heat compared to other styling products available in the market right now, it’s still important to take measures to reduce damage to the hair.

Using a heat protectant can be key to this.

Nazima says,

“I really like to use a mousse when I’m curling my hair because I find it gives my hair a little bit more hold.”

Choose the right heat protection product for your hair type. It’s always better to experiment with different products to see which one suits your hair the most.

Mistake 4: Not realizing the learning curve

She says,

“The great mistake I made when I first used the Dyson Airwrap, especially to curl my hair, was not realizing that there is a learning curve to it.

Take a look at the style you want to create and practice a few times. Give yourself enough time to get to know exactly how it works and how long it takes you to do your hair.

It’s always better to practice on a day when you’re not going out so that you have enough time to understand Airwrap’s functionalities. As you become more familiar with it, you’ll be able to use it more quickly and with better results.”

She described her experience in the following sentence:

“The first few times I used the Airwrap, it took me a while to get the hang of it. I had to concentrate on what I was doing. But now I can do it very quickly while doing my makeup, and it’s very efficient. I love that it also gives my hair a lot of volumes, and my hair has never been healthier. I really think it’s all thanks to the Airwrap.”

In conclusion, using the Dyson Airwrap can be a great way to style your hair and achieve beautiful curls, but there are a few common mistakes that many people tend to make.

By avoiding these mistakes, such as not realizing the learning curve, using the cool shot feature, using a heat protectant, and making sure your hair is not too wet or too dry, you can get the most out of your Airwrap and achieve the best results.

Taking Nazima’s advice and practicing with the Airwrap can help you become more familiar with it, use it more quickly, and achieve healthier hair.
