Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler: innovation meets everyday design, How engineering and perseverance shaped a modern design icon Launched in 2018, the Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler is as much a story of engineering as it is of styling.

The Airwrap™ uses the Coanda effect, a principle of fluid dynamics where air follows a curved surface, to style hair without relying on extreme heat. This approach reflects Dyson’s focus on solving...
