If there's one product that we see sell out real quick during big shopping events like Black Friday sales, it's the Dyson Airwrap. It's been one of the most popular hairstyling tools since the original was released 2018.
The Airwrap has been upgraded over time – a 2022 refresh, the 2024 Airwrap i.d and the 2025 Airwrap Co-anda 2x. Now, don't expect to see price drops on that last one, but if you really, really want an Airwrap, the Origin and i.d models get modest price drops directly from Dyson.
Save 39% (AU$250)Dyson Origin: was AU$649 now AU$399 at Dyson AustraliaIt's not the cheapest price I've seen on the Origin, but it's still a hefty price drop on one of the most coveted styling products ever released. Buying this kit directly from Dyson gets you the 40mm barrel for curls and waves, the fast-drying condenser and an anti-snag loop brush that helps straighten hair.
View DealThe Airwrap Origin is the cheapest way to get yourself this Dyson multi-styler if you don't want to settle for a dupe like the Shark FlexStyle or the Dreame Dazzle, but some of you might well be swayed the Airwrap i.d.
Physically it looks very much like the Airwrap Origin, but comes in different colour combos, and there's really no difference in power between the two generations. What the Airwrap i.d adds is Bluetooth connectivity to make a curl switch work. This launches a curling routine that's customised to your hair and is set up via the companion app. This is a time-saving addition that can speed up your morning routine.
To justify its higher price tag, you also get a lot more attachments in the box than the Origin – a conical barrel alongside the standard 40mm barrel, the anti-snag brush, a round volumising brush, the flyaway smoother and the condenser. These are neatly stowed away in a case, which also houses a small filter-cleaning brush.
While the Airwrap i.d is discounted to AU$699 at Dyson, Amazon has it for AU$4 less, but you can get Dyson to price match on an identical colourway.
Save 18% (AU$154)Dyson Airwrap i.d.: was AU$849 now AU$695 at AmazonThis is Dyson's latest version of the Airwrap and it's a whole lot better than previous iteration. As we said in our Dyson Airwrap i.d. review, this multi-styler creates effortless curls at the touch of a customisable button, in combination with powerful airflow. Plus, with the attachments included, it doubles as a hair dryer, making this the only tool you need in your bathroom.
View DealFrom purely an economic point of view, I would opt for the Airwrap origin for AU$399. It's honestly more than enough for most users as you can add curls or straighten your hair.
Sure, you might spend more time adding waves manually, which the Airwrap i.d will do in a jiffy once you've got your setup right in the app, but it's just not a big enough upgrade for me to justify splurging on the more expensive option.
Still, if that's important to you and you can put all the attachments to good use, the Airwrap i.d is basically futureproofing your styling routine.
