What do critics say about the Dyson Airstrait?
TechRadar80
An excellent option if you worry about hair damage, drying and straightening without hot plates.
Tech Advisor80
Cuts drying and styling time and is kinder to hair, but it is very expensive, bulky and limited in styles.
Expert Reviews80
Fast, effective wet-to-dry straightening with long-lasting results, great for daily straighteners and curly hair.
Tom's Guide80
The reviewer finds the wet-to-dry straightener a genuinely excellent and unique tool that roughly halves drying time, but notes it is bulky, not very versatile and the finish is natural rather than poker-straight.
Reviewed89est.
Reviewed loves the wet-to-dry tool for easy straightening with volume and no singed hair.
