My experience with Dyson's other hair straightener, the Corrale, was mixed - it was really cumbersome to use. But after using the Airstrait for the past few weeks, I've found myself surprisingly impressed.
Unlike conventional straighteners that use hot plates, the Airstrait employs what Dyson calls "precise directional airflow" to dry and smoothen hair. The science behind it involves breaking and resetting hydrogen bonds in the hair.
To delve deeper into the science, when hair is wet, the hydrogen bonds within the strands are more malleable. Traditional styling tools use extreme heat to break and reset these bonds into a new shape. However, this can lead to significant damage over time. By using a combination of controlled airflow and optimal heat, the Airstrait promises to minimise this damage while achieving the desired style.
