Dyson is back with another headline-making drop the Airwrap Co-Anda 2x, a tool that claims to be twice as powerful, twice as precise, and possibly the brand’s biggest flex yet. But is it actually worth your money, or just another shiny gadget for the holidays?
As someone who has lived, breathed, and literally styled my entire identity around Dyson hair tools (Supersonic lover, Airwrap i.d. loyalist, Airstrait enthusiast), I had one big question:
“Can it really get better than the Airwrap I already have?”
Spoiler: Yes… but not for everyone.
Here’s the full, honest breakdown after using the Dyson Airwrap Co-Anda 2x for a month.
First Impression: A Device That Knows How to Make an Entrance
Part 1: The Look & Feel
The moment I unboxed the Jasper Plum colourway, I fell in love. It’s sleek, modern, and honestly the most gorgeous shade Dyson has released so far.
But beauty aside the weight difference is real.
The Co-Anda 2x is noticeably lighter, making long styling sessions way less tiring.
The new attachments are also slimmer in diameter, which — unexpectedly aligned perfectly with my styling preference.
I prefer tighter, bouncier curls, and this new set delivers exactly that.
Part 2: The Performance That Actually Surprised Me
Let’s talk power.
The Hyperdymium™2 motor did not come to play the air pressure is intense in the best way possible.
- I could style thicker sections without losing curl definition.
- My styling time dropped significantly.
📌 Timing receipts:
- First test: 18 minutes (dry + straighten)
- Second test: 16 minutes 27 seconds (including curls!)
However, curl longevity wasn’t as strong as my old Airwrap i.d. That said, a bit of hairspray + rollers fixed it, taking the hold from a few hours to a few days.
Every New Tool Has a Learning Curve This One’s No Different
Part 1: The Button Situation
Dyson switched from a slider to a button.
I won’t lie — it threw me off.
On the old Airwrap, I could manually skip wrap/heat/cool steps anytime.
On the Co-Anda 2x, the preset programme runs through unless you stop it. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely an adjustment.
Part 2: New Attachments, New Habits
The Airsmooth 2x straightening attachment works beautifully, but the constant button-pressing can get tiring if you’re used to clamping like the Airstrait.
Still, the result?
Soft, straight hair with curved ends — a big win.
Part 3: The MyDyson App = Your Best Friend
If you’re new to the Airwrap ecosystem, the app saves you from confusion with tutorials and personalised sequences.
The new RFID sensors also auto-adjust heat and airflow.
Set your preferences once the tool remembers forever.
Part 4: The Mysterious “It Turns Off… Eventually” Moment
Fun fact: the power button technically only turns it on.
It powers off automatically after cooling.
No, you’re not losing your mind I thought the same.
Final Verdict: Should You Upgrade?
For me? Absolutely.
The Co-Anda 2x gives me everything I want in one device:
- Tighter curls
- Faster drying
- Lightweight styling
- Smart personalisation
- Modern attachments
But here’s the truth:
👉 If you already love your current hair tool and don’t crave new styling options, you may not need this upgrade.
👉 If you want versatility, speed, and an all-in-one styling ecosystem this is a game changer.
At the end of the day, the Dyson Airwrap Co-Anda 2x is not just a hair tool it’s a beauty investment. And for the right user, it’s worth every ringgit.
