Divide hair into multiple sections and attach the 30mm long barrel to create voluminous curls and waves in both directions.
Set the airflow direction to curl outwards from the left side of your face.
Take the bottom section of your hair and hold it in place until dry. Set the curl with a cold shot for 10 seconds. Repeat the same at the top section of your hair
Next, change the airflow direction for the other sections of hair and repeat on the other side.
To add more body and shape to your hair, attach the round volumising brush and choose medium speed and medium heat.
Create volume at the crown area and touch up front hair pieces to finish up the look.
Smooth & Sleek, Ideal for hair type one
The classic straight, sleek never goes out of style. The Dyson CorraleTM straightener has unique flexing plate technology that corralesto gathers hair and is engineered to deliver enhanced styling with half the hair damage. It's also cord-free, allowing users to achieve outstanding style, anywhere at any time. Add hair accessories to add more colour and flair.
To achieve this look:
After washing your hair, apply a styling cream and begin to blow dry your hair smoothly with the Dyson Supersonic TM hair dryer and blow dry the hair. Doing this step first will maximise the smoothness and help prolong the style.
Once dry, brush the hair through to remove any tangles.
Next, section the hair into manageable pieces, tying or clipping away the top sections first.
Prepare the Dyson CorraleTM straightener by choosing the desired heat setting for the hair type. Allow the tool to reach this temperature.
Take each section - sections should be a similar size to the plates to allow the strands to spread evenly across them - and place the straightener close to the roots and glide through to the ends at a medium speed
Reduce the heat setting for hairline sections. To get closer to the roots, take sections at an angle
Apply a holding styling product to fix the style in place and increase style longevity.
Add hair accessories such as stick-on pearls on a few front pieces of your hair to amp up your look.

Utilize the natural oils in the hair with this effortlessly chic low bun look. With a range of attachments tailored for all styles and hair types, the Dyson AirwrapTM multi-styler is the ideal tool for restyling hair between washes, delivering great styling results quickly and with ease, whilst maintaining hair health. This super simple and low-maintenance style is ideal for those having no time to wash their hair amidst the festive frenzy. Add fresh flowers to the bun for a more subtle look or level up the look with an embellished hairband, hairpin or clips in gold or silver shades.
To achieve this look:
Start by dampening down any flyaways with a little water
Next, use the Dyson AirwrapTM styler with smoothing brush attachment to smooth down any frizz and stretch out curls, whilst setting the parting into place
Using an elastic band, secure the hair into a low ponytail at the back of the head towards the nape of the neck, drawing the hair down evenly at both sides, smoothing neatly over the top of the ears
Twist the ponytail into a bun and fix it into place with hair pings and a spritz of holding spray
Tackle any flyaways by spritzing a little holding spray onto a toothbrush and brushing flyaways into place
Try weaving baby's breath or hydrangeas into the bun or a hairband
Soft Updo, Ideal for all hair types
An easily attainable hairdo for your next Diwali dinner or cards party. Opt for this updo that's sophisticated yet laid back. Convenience is key. Turn your soft curls into a strong pinned-up appeal, without crossing over to a traditional bun.
To achieve this look:
Start by using the Dyson Airwrap multi-styler with its coanda smoothening dryer attachment on a high heat and high airflow setting, and blow dry the hair until 80% dry.
Once dry, section your hair in half, creating a centre part.
Starting with one half, create outward-facing curls by manually winding a small section of hair around the 30mm AirwrapTM barrel on a high heat and high airflow setting.
Heat each section of hair for 5 seconds (or until dry) and set the curl with the cold shot setting for 3 seconds. Repeat the process and complete the first half of the hair.
Complete the second half of the hair by following steps 3 & 4.
With an elastic band, tie the hair into a low-side ponytail.
Split the ponytail in half, twist one half to the elastic band and secure it with pins.
Repeat the same for the other half.
For a more natural look, loosen strands of hair at the top part and release strands of fringe at the side.
You may also add some flowers to go with your traditional attire.
