Not to sound like every person on TikTok, but I’m truly obsessed with my Dyson Airwrap. Yes, I know it’s super expensive, but I love how easily it can give me flippy curtain bangs or a voluminous blowout or bouncy waves—all with one tool. Still, I’m aware of its limitations, both in cost (ahem, $600) and performance on different hair types. As versatile as I might find the Dyson Airwrap to be, the truth is that some people might benefit more from other styling tools. Folks with extra-long hair, for example, might prefer a curling iron with a longer barrel size, while coarse, curly hair might need a round brush and some tension to stretch out and straighten. So even though the OG works perfectly on my fine hair, you may get better results with an alternative—which is where the best Dyson Airwrap dupes come in.
Spoiler alert: You don’t have to spend $$$ to achieve some totally fab salon-worthy looks. Whether you’re looking for bouncy curls, straighter hair, tousled bangs, or just an all-in-one styler, I’ve gotchu covered with the best Dyson Airwrap dupes of 2023—tested and reviewed!—that feel close to the real thing. Here’s a peek at my absolute faves:
Now keep scrolling for the full list, along with tips on how to choose a Dyson Airwrap dupe, depending on your hair type and style preferences.

T3 Aire 360 Ceramic Air Styler Blowout Kit
Basically every beauty editor on my feed has been sharing nonstop selfies of their voluminous, fluffy waves, all courtesy of the new T3 Air Styler. And after using it on my hair for a week straight, I can confirm that it's worthy of all the praise, and clocks in as the best Dyson Airwrap dupe I've ever tried. The device feels majorly luxurious (it's heavy in my hand, but not too heavy, either) and in the prettiest, rose-gold color that's rivaling all of my other hair tools for a coveted spot on my vanity.
Overall, it's the most similar to the O.G. Dyson Airwrap based on the results I get. It gives my hair some serious volume when I use the round brush, although I wish there was a smaller round brush option for my bangs. But I especially love how my hair looks when I curl with this, since the ceramic coating on the barrel evenly distributes heat for long-lasting curls (that are also seriously shiny, might I add).
Cosmo shopping writer Sarah Maberry is also a fan for her 3a curls, who usually finds air stylers take forever since she has to blow out her hair to smooth her roots first. Based on her testing of this T3 one, though, she noticed it took waaaaay less time to zhuzh up her hair on day two or three (and day four or five, IYKYK) than it would with a traditional curling iron. "I loved how the T3 aire came with curling and blow drying attachments so you won't need to shell out a second paycheck on a fancy blowdryer brush or waste half your suitcase space on hair tools," she adds.
- Attachments: Four (round brush, two curling barrels, blow dryer)
- Heat settings: Three
- Speed settings: Three
Glowing customer review: "T3 Aire 360 Ceramic Air Styler Blowout Kit left me speechless. It came in the most luxurious packaging that impressed me. It had a pink leather bag for storage with slots for each attachment. This blowout kit includes a SoftAire® drying concentrator, an oval brush attachment, a 1.35” ceramic curling attachment (left), and a 1.35” ceramic curling attachment (right). Its base is light, and each attachment easily goes on and off the base. The curling attachment holds hair on its own and creates glossy curls that last throughout the day. The drying concentrator dries the hair well (I have thick hair, and it worked well)."
