Performance & Real-World Use\n\nThe Dyson Airstrait revolutionizes your styling routine by working on hair that is damp, not soaking wet. After towel-drying your hair, ensure it is thoroughly detangled. For optimal results, divide your hair into manageable sections.\n\n1. Select Mode: Choose 'Wet' mode for damp hair.\n2. Temperature Setting: Start with a lower temperature (e.g., 80°C or 110°C) and adjust as needed based on your hair type and desired outcome.\n3. Glide Through Hair: Place a section of hair between the arms and slowly glide down from roots to ends. The slower and more consistent the glide, the more effective the drying and straightening.\n4. Repeat as Needed: Pass over each section until it is dry and straight, ensuring even results.\n5. Dry Mode for Touch-ups: If you need to refresh your style or smooth specific areas on dry hair, select 'Dry' mode (120°C or 140°C).\n6. Cool Shot: Finish with a cool shot to set your style and enhance shine.\n\nThe device is engineered to maintain hair strength and shine by preventing extreme heat damage, making it suitable for regular use. For best performance, work in small sections and maintain a consistent, steady pace.
