Dyson Airwrap i.d. Review: Is the App Worth Paying For?
The Airwrap that connects to the MyDyson app and sets a curling routine from a hair profile. This Amazon set adds Dyson's post-style serum. It is the top of most beauty wish lists, and the most expensive pick here.
Mostly yes, for someone who styles their hair most mornings and wants the real Dyson. The Airwrap i.d. keeps heat under 302°F and runs one-touch curl routines from the app [1]. Skip it if the budget is tight, because the Shark FlexStyle covers the same air styling for far less.

Pros and cons
- Very expensive next to the Shark FlexStyle [1]
- App routines need a phone and setup
- Learning the curl wrap takes a few mornings
The app is the new part
Every Airwrap curls with air instead of a hot barrel. The i.d. adds a connection to the MyDyson app, which builds a curling routine from a hair profile and then runs it at the touch of a button [1]. For someone who struggled with timing and heat on an older styler, that is the point.
Dyson lists three heat settings and a cold shot that switches off the heat to set the style [1].
Heat and hair health
Intelligent heat control keeps the temperature under 302°F [1], which is lower than many curling irons run. Dyson's pitch is no heat damage and more shine [1].
This Amazon set includes the Chitosan Post-style Serum, which Dyson says helps hold styles longer and fights frizz from humidity [1].
The price question
It is the most expensive gift in this guide by a wide margin. The Shark FlexStyle does air styling with auto-wrap curlers for roughly a third of the price [1], and for many people that is the smarter gift.
The case for the Dyson is the name and the app. If the person has asked for an Airwrap by name, a lookalike will not land the same way.
Who should unwrap the Dyson
Give it to someone who blow dries most mornings, has asked for it by name, and will set up the app. For a curly or wavy hair routine, the saved curl program removes the guesswork.
From the same guide, the UGG Tasman slippers and the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa mist round out a self-care bundle, and the Shark FlexStyle is the swap if the budget changes.
FAQ
What is the difference between Dyson Airwrap i.d. and the regular Airwrap?
The Dyson Airwrap i.d. connects to the MyDyson app and creates a personalized curling routine from a hair profile, then runs it at one touch [1]. The styling itself still uses air, with three heat settings, a cold shot and heat kept under 302°F [1]. The app is the main upgrade over a standard Airwrap [1]
Is the Dyson Airwrap i.d. worth it over the Shark FlexStyle?
Only if the person wants the Dyson name or the app routines. The Shark FlexStyle dries, smooths and curls with auto-wrap curlers for far less money [1]. The Dyson Airwrap i.d. adds app-guided curls, a serum in this set and the brand people often ask for by name [1]
Does the Dyson Airwrap i.d. damage hair?
Dyson says the Airwrap i.d. uses intelligent heat control that keeps temperatures under 302°F, to prevent heat damage and protect shine [1]. Any heat tool can dry out hair with daily use, so a heat protectant still helps. The included serum is made for after styling, not as a heat protectant [1]
