Dyson launches revolutionary new hair tool – what is the Airstrait and when does it go on sale?
DYSON is back with a new hair tool that is set to change the game – again.
The new Airstrait is a wet-to-dry straightener that is here to revolutionise your mornings, here’s everything you need to know.

The new Dyson Airstrait is a wet-to-dry straightener tool that styles, straightens, and dries your hair in one go with no hot plates or heat damage.
Priced at $499.99, it’s not cheap, but is set to be one of Dyson’s most popular products yet.
Available now from dyson.com, the Airstrait is available in the USA, Canada, and Mexico from May 11, with a UK launch date and UK price to be announced soon.
Following years of research and development, the new Airstrait straightener uses powerful focused airflow to dry and straighten your hair simultaneously from wet.
With fast, smooth, and shiny results it’s a beauty must-have, and a game-changer for those looking for speedy, swish, sleek hair.
The new tool looks incredible[/caption]
It’s been engineered for multiple hair types, and the stylers can achieve a naturally straight style, with body and movement, without pulling and damaging hair.
The Airstrait uses a hair tress which is contained by two arms, from which a “precisely angled high-pressure blade of air is forced downwards and into the hair, both simultaneously drying and straight styling, with one machine”.
James Dyson, Founder and Chief Engineer said “Having a strong understanding of how to manipulate and realise the potential of powerful airflow is fundamental to the performance of the Dyson Airstrait straightener.
“This expertise, which we’ve gained over the last 25 years, is what has enabled us to deliver our first wet-to-dry straightener, with no hot plates, and no heat damage. Delivering the ease-of-use that people love about straighteners but with high-velocity air blades, saves time, maintains hair strength and achieves an everyday natural straight style.”
There’s also a root dry function[/caption]
The Airstrait’s secret weapon is their precision air jets.
Placed along the arms of the machine are two 1.5mm apertures, they create two high-velocity downward blades of air, which are projected at a 45° angle.
This causes them to converge and created one focused jet of air, and create a downward force to straighten hair as it dries – this directional airflow helps to align the hair strands, leaving you with a smooth and shiny finish.
But how does it do all this without damaging your hair?
Dyson has researched the science of style for over a decade, looking at everything from “the structure of hair, to airflow dynamics whilst understanding thermal, mechanical and chemical damage” – and the subsequent effects on hair health.
It can be used on wet and dry hair[/caption]
To change and style your hair, hydrogen bonds within hair strands must be broken and reset to hold a new shape – which is done with heat or moisture.
However high heat can damage your hair, and so styling with powerful airflow from wet, results in less need for high heat, creating less frizz and flyaways (and adds shine).
As when your hair is wet, these bonds are weaker, so you can reset them as your hair dries – which reduces the need for extreme temperatures.
By using an optimum level of heat, and controlled airflow, there’s less damage to the hair, but also helps maintain volume and movement.
The Airstrait has two styling modes, ‘Wet’ and ‘Dry’ styling modes, and a ‘Cool’ mode to set the style.
In Wet mode, beauty fans can choose between, three heat settings of 80°C, 110°C and 140°C, and in ‘Dry’ mode, choose between 120°C, or 140°C, or a top-up “boost” – as well as two airflow controls, low and high.
And to ensure your hair stays in its best condition, it also uses intelligent heat sensors, to measure the temperature of airflow 30 times per second to prevent heat damage and protect hair’s natural shine.
There’s also a cold shot, root drying mode, and sensors which will automatically turn it off when not in use.
A release date is set to be announced in due course, and we can’t wait to get our hands on one – we’ll be updating this page with more information when we know more.
What date will the Dyson Airstrait arrive in store?
The Dyson Airstrait will arrive in store on May 11, but only in the US, Canada and Mexico.
A UK release date is expected very soon but hasn’t been revealed just yet.
Where will I be able to buy the Dyson Airstrait?
The Dyson Airstrait will be available from Dyson.co.uk following its launch in the UK.
It’s likely to be available exclusively from Dyson’s website before becoming available from other concessions, including John Lewis, Currys, Boots and Amazon.
How much is the Dyson Airstrait?
Currently, only US prices have been released. Priced at $499.99, UK prices will be announced alongside a UK release date.
This won’t be long, but we’ll update this page when we know more.
Can I use the Dyson Airstrait on dry hair?
Yes, the Dyson Airstrait can be used on dry hair.
The Dyson Airstrait can be used in ‘Dry’ mode, with heat temperatures of 120°C, or 140°C to straighten hair.
It’ll still straighten your hair, and leave you with a sleek result, however, for best results it’s recommended with damp hair.
Can I curl my hair with the Dyson Airstrait?
We haven’t tried this yet! As the Dyson Airstrait is designed for straightening hair, it’s not the tool of choice.
We’d recommend that Airwrap is used for curls.

I’m a dog owner – my pet hair cleaning hack rids carpets of fur and only costs £2 at B&M
A DOG owner has revealed a pet hair cleaning hack that rids carpets of fur – and it costs just £2 at B&M.
The savvy animal lover took to social media to let fans in on her secret tool – a squeegee, or window cleaner.
The woman filmed her dog and the fur it left behind on the carpet even after she hoovered[/caption]
She then revealed a hack on how to get rid of it all[/caption]
TikToker @kernowmaiden posted the short clip, which told viewers how to clean their carpets thoroughly.
The footage began with the culprit dog and the floor covered in fur.
The woman said: “So I have run through with the hoover everywhere already but there is always still puppy fur left.
“This is an old trick that I saw on Facebook years ago and you get a squeegee, mine is well used as you can see, and you give the carpet a good scrape once you’ve hoovered.
“I love doing this actually because it is a really good workout, the other thing it does is fluff up your carpet to make it look really lovely.”
The woman continued to use the squeegee across the carpet in sections, scraping the remaining hair into columns.
She then collected the remaining clumps of hair and showed her new fresh carpet.
A squeegee similar to one used by the TikToker can be bought at B&M stores across the UK for just £2.
She said: “This was even after the Dyson hoover, but puppy fur just gets everywhere.
“And there we have it, fluff balls everywhere, it’s amazing how much comes up.”
The video has more than 500 views with pet owners commenting with their own struggles.
“Oh my lord,” a TikTok user said.
“I’ve got three dogs and honestly it’s like King Canute trying to keep back the tide,” another added.
Another influencer has revealed an easy way to collect dog hair.
The hack requires a regular bristle broom and a roll of wide packing tape.
Simply pull out a strip of tape the length of the bottom of your broom.
Stick one half along the bottom of the bristles, with the bottom half of the tape forming a sticky barrier underneath.
When you sweep, the broom will catch most of the dog hair – but anything that slips past will stick to the tape.
The woman claimed the squeegee was the best tool to rid the carpet of animal hair[/caption]

I’m a redheaded woman in construction – when people say it’s a ‘man job,’ I put my hair up and get ready to fight
A REDHEAD has geared up in defense of her profession.
The woman in construction says she’s ready to fight anyone who calls it a “man’s job.”
Carly, a redheaded woman in construction, shared comments that she hated hearing at work[/caption]
Carly (@carly_bowlen) stood up for herself in a video shared with her TikTok followers.
The blue-collar worker shared a pet peeve that she hears all too often: “When someone says “this is no place for a woman,”’ she said.
Or even worse: “It’s a man’s job,” said another troll.
Mouthing along to So What by Pink, Carly revealed what she’d do to trolls in the future if they had the audacity to insult her.
“I wanna get in trouble, I wanna start a fight,” she said, rolling up her sleeves.
And just to make sure she really sent the message home, she tied up her hair to show she really meant business.
“I wanna start a fight,” she repeated with a menacing glare.
People took to the comments to share their thoughts on the redhead’s woes.
“Yep tougher than woodpecker lips,” said another fellow construction worker.
“Tougher than a 5 dollar steak,” Carly joked in reply.
“Linelife, glad to see you’re in the trade,” said another.
“Thanks, I appreciate that!” the redhead replied.

Kim Kardashian reveals big hair change and flaunts her thin legs in tiny shorts & matching top for new ‘stunning’ pics
KIM Kardashian has debuted a fresh set of bangs on Instagram on Sunday.
The beauty mogul stared down the camera in multiple “natural” looks, pairing her new ‘do with tiny shorts and a crop top.
Kim Kardashian debuted bangs taking fans by surprise[/caption]
One Instagram user gushed: ‘The bangs are everything!’[/caption]
Another wrote how the ‘lighter makeup suits her’[/caption]
Kim, 42, has completely mixed things up in terms of her hairstyle.
She captioned the batch of snaps: “light glam, skin prep with Skkn.”
The mom-of-four indeed opted for just a touch of makeup and pouted at the camera as she showed off her dark brown bangs.
In one of the images she laid on the ground sideways staring up at the lens, in another she lounged on a dark brown sofa while in a navy blue tank and shorts.
Her thin tanned legs did much of the talking but so did her new hairstyle, framing her face quite tastefully.
Kim donned a little white strapped top for some of the four snaps as well[/caption]
Kardashian fans applauded Kim’s bangs and many commented this was a refreshing change for her[/caption]
‘THE BANGS ARE EVERYTHING!’
Kardashian fans were liking what they saw as one user commented: “Kim is gorgeous,” and another said, “You’re so unbelievably stunning.”
A third wrote: “Very nice Kim,” and a fourth, “I know this is edited but this is what we were saying she suits lighter makeup.”
One person snarked: “I would give every cent I have to see the un-retouched versions.”
HAIR SHE IS!
Kim went bleach-blonde when she channeled Marilyn Monroe for the 2022 Met Gala, shedding 16 pounds to fit into the famed “Happy Birthday Mr. President” dress.
She’s since gone back to her roots with a natural brunette color – however, she has tried bangs before, first doing so in February.
Kim wore her brunette locks down in loose waves and framed her face with a stylish fringe while in a strapless red dress at the time.
FOR PETE’S SAKE
Over on Reddit, people had a lot to say about Kim’s new hairstyle – and some even compared her to her ex Pete Davidson’s more recent fling Emily Ratajkowski.
Comedian Pete was linked to model Emily late last year, just months after he split from Kim following a nine-month romance – so the timing seemed curious to some critics.

Reddit followers felt the bangs were ‘giving Emily Ratajkowski’ whom Pete Davidson dated after Kim and around that time[/caption]
