THIS SHOCKED ME…Dyson Airstrait vs Flat Iron which one TRULY wins?!! frizz test comparison

[@allisonbb716]

You mentioned that the blow dry side had more volume….but the AirStrait side looked more voluminous to me! Or, it might be that I really really want the AirStrait for myself…. Thanks for the video!

[@ImMalloryBrooke]

🤣🤣🤣 It will def be a HG tool for girls with straighter hair than me, that always style their hair straight! but for me, the traditional styling method wins every time. (ps you might be seeing my bad cut and TE re-growth as volume, as the air strait tended to really show those issue)

[@shawnasomers9127]

I sent my Dyson airstrait back. It does seem to work well initially but I live in a high humidity area and my hair got frizzy after about an hour. It also took me way longer to do my hair. I’m willing to pay the big bucks for a hair tool if it works miracles. This didn’t do that for me. Thanks for this video! I now feel validated. 😊

[@ImMalloryBrooke]

Same here girl! One of its biggest failures was a lack of frizz prevention!

[@zara67901]

I recently bought the dyson airstrait. I have coarse south asian hair. I find it makes my hair soft and straight, but NOT shiny/sleek. There is some frizz, but it settles over time. It doesnt save time vs blow out brush + flat iron. I do find it takes a while, i have to do it in wet mode then go over it in boost on dry mode. Having said that i appreciate the technology and it uses less heat overall so for the amount of heat used, the results are good. I like that it doesnt pull on the hair like a blow out brush can.

Hi Mallory, I'm loving the Dyson air straight side. Love the straighter Look!!!

[@ImMalloryBrooke]

it is def STRAIGHT! since it works better on other hair types I think its still a great choice for a lot of people! just not for me!

[@karenkavanagh1557]

I just bought the airstraight and have long thick wavy hair and i love it. Just what i needed. Thanks for your review tho Nice to see different opinions👍

[@shelleybevacqua]

I love love my Dyson Air Strait. I do have super thick and coarse wavy hair. It works for my hair type.

[@ImMalloryBrooke]

Thats great to know! It's a very impressive machine and works very well!! just doesn't perform as well as tradition methods on my hair! Can you share your hair type with us for reference?

[@megstarbright]

Not only does the traditional blowout and flat iron side have more volume but the ends look more sleek and sealed. The airstrait side’s ends look a little less smooth and polished which is also what I found with my own test! I ended up returning the airstrait because of that

[@Cwagify]

I like the traditional blow out and straightener side. I would love a video about your traditional blowout. Yours turns out so much better than mine!

[@ImMalloryBrooke]

🤣 thanks girl! Love the idea, I'll put it on my list!

[@sarahackerman7338]

I am so glad I found you! Your hair is very similar in texture to mine. It is hard to know what will work on my hair when the videos are done on hair that is much thicker than mine or that has extensions. I tried your curling tutorial with a flat iron and curling iron and it worked so well!

[@ImMalloryBrooke]

aw thanks Sarah! I'm so glad my tutorials work for you!!

[@amandaponzoni6830]

As i want my Hair to look healthier I would go for Dyson airstrait and something to prevent the humidity use the wow product

[@Safi_JC]

I’m using the same combination and my fine, frizzy, wavy hair are straight and shiny. 😊

[@maimai-my1tt]

Have you tried the ghd duet style? I'm curious how it would compare to the dyson.

[@moonlightstar7786]

I liked the Airstrait side better, but I might be biased because I want to love the Airstrait since I just bought one. My problem is fine grey hair that ends up getting fluffy and major flyaways. I have a similar haircut to yours. I have the Kevin Murphy Doo Over and Olaplex oil that you used. I did order the Kevin Murphy Super Goo that you used for flyaways. I’m not that great at styling my hair so I thought the Airstrait might help me. My ends tend to look unhealthy even though I use a Dyson hairdryer and the Dyson Corrale. I’m hoping my ends might stay healthier looking. I just finished using my Airstrait and I just wet my already styled hair and didn’t add any product. I’m a little mixed on how I feel about it. My hair turned out sleek, but I still have flyaways! Not as bad, but still there. I will wait to receive the Super Goo. Also I noticed the air coming out the bottom of the Airstrait is very warm on my shoulders and back. I hope in a few days when I have all the products available that I will love it more. Do you use the Kevin Murphy washes and rinses? If so, which ones?

[@kimberlybigford]

Thanks Mallory! This is exactly what I needed to see since I can't justify getting the Air Strait when I get good results with the Dyson Air Dryer and a Flat Iron. I feel like the Flat Iron just smooths out my hair and keeps it straight even in humidity. It needs that step so it seems pointless to get the Air Strait if it's not a one and done!

[@lacharmer441]

The airstraight is much better and faster. I love the airstraight, my hair is very long wavy. Really depends on the type of hair.

[@jenniferhilton7417]

Try the airstrait from sopping wet hair, I found if I am going to g to get that sharp edge my hair has to be really wet

[@angieshel]

My favorite product to use with my dyson blow dryer is the colorwow extra strength dream coat!!

[@susanhowell8473]

Thanks Mallory! Love this video. What are the brushes you used? Thanks!

[@GracefulAnswers]

If you want more volume with the airstrait, use a round brush as you dry the roots before you use the straightening function. They recommend hitting the roots first anyway so hit it with some volume :). I love my airstrait! I use hot rollers after if I want curls and they hold wonderfully!

[@ImMalloryBrooke]

Great tips❤️

[@cs-yq5ed]

I think you might need your hair a little wetter when you start the Airstraight. By having your hair partially air-dried, it already has a bit of frizz and wave. Also, the Airstraight has a dry hair setting to smooth out the hair after the wet dry. Did you use that setting at all? I think perhaps that should be part of the test. Thanks!

[@ImMalloryBrooke]

Yes I forgot to mention I did use the dry setting as well. Just not the best option for me❤️

[@KarinaSankarsingh-vi9ri]

You could air dry one side and then use a straightener to save some heat. I did that before my Dyson which I love and my hair stayed straight and smooth all the same. Just need a sweet heat spray. And I never went past 390 degrees. I also have thick unruly frizzy weird ass hair naturally unfortunately

[@lynnwhite1053]

So I have a question… not really about tools, but, I am curious as to how long you go between washes. I’ve also got naturally curly hair, and I’ve found that when I straightened my hair, I had to do it daily sometimes. I’ve recently (well maybe a year now) started growing it out and leaving it curly. Anyway, just curious how long you can go between washes❤

[@ImMalloryBrooke]

3 days max. on average I probably wash every 1.5 days on average!

[@lynnwhite1053]

@@ImMalloryBrooke thank you… when straightening I “try” to do every other day, but am not always successful😂 At least I know it’s normal😘

[@robynfitzsimmons1137]

Aren't you just frying your hair between 2 hot plates. With the GHD. Much healthier way to go with the airstraight . Just asking.

[@traciewarren1070]

Thanks for such a thorough review!! I really enjoyed all the different tests and check-ins you did!! I have the GHD flat iron and it is amazing!! I also have the Dyson Corrale and love that one too!!! I recently picked up the AirStrait and the first time I used it, I was not happy with my results. My hair is just a couple inches longer than yours but it is far more coarse and curly than yours but it is a fine texture. Normally I would use the Airwrap and follow up with the Corrale and if i were not pressed for time, i’d use the regular Dyson blow dryer and follow with the Corrale. So with the Airwrap, i’m super lazy and just section in a few places and blow it dry. I noticed with the Airstrait I needed to have a bit more of a strategy and use smaller pieces to get the look i wanted. I feel like it takes too long to blow dry because i’m very impatient. I think it works best for me on dry hair. The other day I washed my hair and let it air dry, used the Airwrap to knock out the area that was still wet then used the Airstrait on dry hair and it turned out lovely!! It was super straight and flowy, like a professional blowout and i didn’t have to follow up with my Corrale. I found that it held up well to the humidity, rain, and workouts very well! I live in VA and it is super hot and humid here along with these pop up rain storms. My hair didn’t get frizzy like normal in those conditions. I doubt I’ll use it on wet hair because it just takes too long for me, so i’ll continue with my Airwrap/Supersonic and follow up with the Airstrait. It’s still hard to justify the money🤦🏾‍♀️

@@ImMalloryBrooke I have a t3 blowdryer and straightener, before that I had a chi for like 15 years. I am thinking of investing in the dyson. My t3 is a mini so I think it's comparable to the dyson size/how you hold it etc.

The airstraight was disappointing for me too and also took me 17 min. I’m returning it as well. It didn’t live up to the hype ☹️it also made my hair very staticky.

[@meganhall6191]

Hi, great video. I thought your hair looked best on the left side both times when you were comparing them.. In a way, it’s not a fair comparison since you used a flat iron with the dryer and not with the airstraight. I have both and I really like the airstraight a lot but sometimes I do use a flat iron afterwards. I loved your hair at the beginning with the meemajd waves. Do you have a video showing how to get that look. Thanks

[@ImMalloryBrooke]

I’ve definitely tried the airstrait both ways (with a dryer) and it still wasn’t giving me the best result. The reason I tested this way for this video is because for the price of airstrait, it should cut out the drying time. If I had to use a blow dryer every time I had to use the airstrait, I wouldn’t want it anyway (just personal preference). I have a tutorial on the waves coming up soon🧜‍♀️🤍

[@meganhall6191]

@@ImMalloryBrooke thank you for responding. I can’t wait to see your waves tutorial. Those mermaid waves were so pretty. I didn’t mean I used a blow dryer with the airstraight. I would use a flat iron after drying with the airstraight. I agree your hair looks better with the blowout and flat iron. I’m just not very good at that. Of course, you would look good no matter what you do to your hair

Great review, wish I had watched it two months ago, though I did really want the airstraight as thought it would be a miracle, from the way it was marketed, so may not have been swayed. But I did buy it and I kept trying to get it too work, different products, no products, changed my shampoo and conditioner (all of them professional products), so here's the rub I tried too long to get it too work and went past the return window by about 10 days. I might not have done this if I was aware as this video shows that there can be a frizz problem, but I did, I just though it was me, nope it was the airstraight. So tried a bit of an appeal to get my money back from retailer, but that was a no, so tried going straight to Dyson who could commiserate with my issue, but could not refund me as the retailer had my money, not them !!! I asked in this situation, if I had bought it from you would you refund it and they said YES. SO I'm going to try with the retailer one more time, and if that doesn't work, I will have to eBay to get some of my money back 😒 Wish me luck . . . and btw have just gone back to my normal haircare routine and my hair is back to normal.
