Before you drop AU$999 on the new Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x, I

Dyson’s Airwrap line of hair multi-stylers and dryers revolutionised the hair care market by showing that you don’t need to curl hair with direct extreme heat, and instead use high-speed airflow to achieve a similar result.

Of course, innovative tech rarely comes cheap, especially from a prestige brand like Dyson. The most recent Airwrap Co-anda 2x sells for a whopping AU$999, and the Airwrap i.d. isn’t far off at AU$849.

If you’re in the market for one but would love to avoid shelling out that much cash, Amazon has the Airwrap Origin discounted by 39% off for Prime Day to just AU$388. The best part is, the discount isn’t exclusive to Amazon Prime members!

Other than the lower price, there are yet more advantages to getting the Airwrap Origin over its more expensive siblings.

The Origin uses purely manual tactile buttons to operate and you don’t have to worry about the device’s Bluetooth connection to your phone accidentally dropping out while styling (the newer ones have a companion app that can automatically set the ideal wrapping, styling and cold shot timings specific to your hair). You also have complete control, where you can manually override the speed and temperature as needed, instead of the automatic programming in the newer Airwraps.

The Airwrap Origin also now has the longer 40mm barrel attachment that measures 18.5cm to accommodate medium-to-long hair better, compared to the shorter 13cm barrel from its initial release.

While it’s tempting to go all-out on the Airwrap ID or even the Co-anda 2x, it’s hard to overlook the Airwrap Origin at this price, especially when you don’t need all the attachments bundled with the newer models.
