I will be the first to admit I'm not the biggest fan of the Dyson Airwrap.
After testing it for the first time in 2022 (and several times since), I can't deny that it's a fun and luxurious way to style my hair — but I've never quite been able to wrap my head around its $600 price tag. After trying so many Airwrap dupes, I feel even more firmly that most people who want the Airwrap experience can get it for much cheaper.
So, if you're bummed out that the Big Spring Sale is one of the rare Amazon sales that hasn't brought the usual $100 markdowns the multi-styler gets, I have three pieces of good news for you: one, Prime Day usually happens in July, so another chance is coming up soon. Two, the Shark FlexStyle and T3 Aire 360, two of my favorite Airwrap dupes, arecurrently on sale. And three, I'm going to tell you where each of these dupes excels, all based on my own experience testing them directly in comparison to the Airwrap.

Fun fact: the Shark FlexStyle was the first multi-styler to include a diffuser attachment. While Dyson now offers an Airwrap for folks with textured hair, I still prefer the FlexStyle — the twisting base mechanism makes it easier to get the best angles possible for both hover and pixie diffusing. While $219.99 isn't the FlexStyle's lowest sale price ever, both the Airwap and FlexStyle with diffusers can be harder to find on sale, making this a great opportunity to pick it up for cheaper.

Why we like it
A lot of people think the Dyson Airwrap is a great tool for curling your hair, but the curling barrels that come with it actually give more of a loose wave, blowout-type look. I'm sure the tinier barrels you can purchase separately might help you achieve a tighter curl, but if you'd rather not spend even more, the T3 Aire 360's ceramic barrels gave me more defined curls that lasted longer.
Plus, the Aire 360 comes with a vegan leather pouch, making it the best storage option out of every multi-styler I've ever tested. Trust me, these tools are bigger than you think, and the case Dyson provides is massive, so if you're short on space, the Aire 360 and its pouch may be the way to go. While this $45 discount isn't huge, this hair tool doesn't go on sale often.
