technology actually look to the layman? Once you turn the Airwrap on, its jet of air gently collects your hair and wraps it around the device's barrel. If that sounds scary, consider that you can simply move the device away from your head at any time, releasing the air stream's feather-light hold on your mane by simple proximity. Of course, different 'dos require curls that coil in different directions – that's the difference between a victory roll and a frustrating flop. But it's an easy fix: simply change the direction of your curls between clockwise or anticlockwise by rotating the cool tip (with handy arrows for a visual prompt), If you're after a straight style, don't despair. There are two straightening and smoothing brushes, so just clip one on, activate Enhanced Coanda, and align your hair into perfect sleekness. Get attached! There are six different attachments for all kinds of 'dos, so whatever you can envision, the Airwrap will get you there. Choose from two different diameter curling barrels (30mm and 40mm), two smoothing brush attachments (soft and firm) – the round volumising brush (that's the one with soft bristles all the way around, so you can give yourself a salon-grade blow dry), and the flyaway attachment, which will muster all your disobedient strands and set them neatly in place. There's also a too-easy-to-mess-it-up illustrated instruction manual to show you how they all work! Keepin' it neat There is one more little accessory which comes with your Airwrap, and it's important: the filter cleaner. And like the other attachments, it's mega easy to use. Make sure your device is disconnected from the wall socket, and grab your cleaner – it looks like a cuff bracelet with little brushes on the inside curve – then slide it over the bottom of your Airwrap until it covers the filter cage (which is labelled on the device). Twist it backwards and forwards to loosen particles of dust that might have become caught, and then pinch the dot on the filter cage and pull down. The cage will clip off, and you can then rinse it clean under water. Don't forget to make sure it's completely dry before reattaching to your device. which controls the airflow direction.

Aside from that gorgeous presentation case, here are five other things that we love about this clever device.

phenomenon that makes the Dyson Airwrap so revolutionary, here's your cheat sheet: the Coanda effect is an aerodynamic wonder of the world, which describes the tendency of a fluid jet to stay attached to a convex surface. It's named after Romanian inventor Henri Coanda, who recognised the potential of harnessing the effect in aircraft design in 1910. But what does it mean for your hair? Simply that the Airwrap can style using gentle air, not extreme heat – and while in use, it monitors the air temperature around the device over 40 times a second! It is an absolute game changer for the health of your lid. Curl the mo Now that we're past the egghead stuff, how does this pioneering Dyson
