Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x: design
The Airwrap Co-anda 2x is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, but also more powerful. (Confusingly, the weight listed in the specs section of the products listings doesn’t seem to support this claim – I’m not sure what’s happened there.) To achieve this, the internal mechanics have been completely redesigned, with the Co-anda 2x packing a ‘Hyperdymium 2’ motor that can spin nine times faster than an F1 car engine. Dyson says it can deliver twice the air pressure and 30% more power than the Airwrap i.d., without being any noisier.
To save you from fiddling with settings as you style, Dyson has added attachment memory. The attachments have RFID sensors that enable the dryer to recognize which one is clipped on. It’ll then switch automatically to the recommended (the first time) or your last-used (thereafter) temperature and windspeed settings with each attachment.
I’ve used this feature on the Dyson Supersonic Nural, and I discovered it actually smoothed out the styling course of. It’s particularly useful in case your routine entails switching between varied attachments.
My favourite a part of the Airwrap i.d. is the i.d.curl characteristic, which launches an automatic curling sequence on the flick of a button. That characteristic continues to be current right here, and it is had a small improve: the barrels can detect when hair is absolutely wrapped, and it is time to transfer on to the curling a part of the sequence. That ought to save time if in case you have lots of hair to fashion.
You’ve received an additional temperature setting for added management. The i.d. had two warmth choices plus a cool shot, whereas the Co-anda 2x has three. I’m barely annoyed to see that the buttons that management these settings appear to have been shrunk down – relatively than the i.d.’s chunky, easy-to-use buttons, the 2x has the identical dinky switches that I discovered so annoying on the Dyson Supersonic r hair dryer.
Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x: attachments
With many haircare brands, the attachments seem to be something of an afterthought. Not so with Dyson, and I was pleased (but not surprised) to see the attachment selection has been revamped for the Co-anda 2x.
Perhaps the most notable addition is the AirSmooth, which essentially turns your Airwrap into a Dyson Airstrait. Two unheated plates clamp collectively and blast air on the strands of hair trapped between them, smoothing and straightening them as they dry. When you attain the underside of your hair, the plates will routinely unclamp. This attachment helps reposition the Airwrap from primarily a curling device, to a real multistyler.

There’s a plethora of different attachments, too, together with totally different sized curl barrels and spherical brushes to clean or volumize. For curly or coily hair, there is a rigidity comb and two-part diffuser, and for naturally straight hair there is a flyaway smoother.
In the US and UK, Dyson sells two bundle choices: one geared in the direction of naturally straight or wavy hair, and the opposite in the direction of curly or coily hair, with attachments to match. In Australia, there appears to solely be one bundle choice, though you need to have the ability to buy additional equipment individually.
