Dyson might have the hype, but Tyme has the heat
At this point, it feels like Dyson drops a new hair tool every other week. Every time you blink, there’s a fresh $600+ launch, a new “breakthrough” barrel, and another influencer swearing this one finally changed their life. Like okay, slay engineering department—but just because it's high-tech doesn’t mean it stacks up IRL.
And sure, the Airwrap is pretty. You've probably seen the hauls, the pink satin boxes, the “this was a splurge but worth it… I think?” energy. But here’s the catch: those dreamy curls? They don’t always make it past your front door. And using it can feel like assembling IKEA furniture—except you’re on 3% battery and already late.
Now meet the Tyme Iron Pro. One sleek multitasker, no attachments, no manual-reading session. Just one tool that straightens and curls and holds… with *actual* staying power. It's built for the girl who wants her hair to look fire and still make her 9 a.m.
So, if you're wondering who really deserves the prime spot on your bathroom counter—this one's for you.
Let’s break it all the way down. And believe it or not, we’re not biased.
What you get out of the box
We’re going to start with what you're actually buying—because sure, the aesthetic is cute, but we care more about how it fits into real life.
Dyson Airwrap: The full kit comes with a blow-dryer attachment, a round volumizing brush, multiple smoothing brushes, and a whole collection of Dyson Airwrap attachments—including curling barrels that wrap in different directions (because no, it’s not as intuitive as it looks on TikTok). It’s luxe, it’s high-tech… and it takes up serious space. That big colored box is a moment on your bathroom shelf—but it’s a bulky one.
And girl, if you’re heading out of town? Say goodbye to packing light. That kit doesn’t exactly slip into your carry-on, unless your “weekend getaway” includes checked luggage and a separate suitcase for beauty gear.
Tyme Iron Pro: Now compare that to the Tyme Iron Pro. It’s one multitasking tool that straightens, curls, waves, flips—literally whatever feel you’re going for. No extra barrels, no removable heads, no reading the fine print. Just a tool that shows up, does the job, and fits neatly in your bag without sacrificing outfit space. And yes, it works with any voltage, so it’s got your back even abroad.
The vibe check: Dyson is all about the ceremony—unboxing, switching attachments, prepping damp strands. TYME is all about efficiency.
One tool, one plug, one goal: make your hair look bomb fast. And honestly, for travel, quick get-ready mornings, or anyone who doesn't have a glam team on speed dial? Less really is more.
Let’s talk results—because cute tools mean nothing if the style doesn’t last
Dyson Airwrap fans will say it’s “gentler” on your hair—and that’s technically true. It uses warm air and the Coanda effect to style without direct heat. But here’s the not-so-secret truth: those glossy, bouncy curls you see in influencer videos? They often fall flat FAST. Especially if you’ve got heavy hair, thick strands, or literally any kind of humidity in your zip code.
And yep, even the most glowing Dyson Airwrap review usually slips in the line: “Just make sure to add a ton of product.” Or, “They didn’t really hold in my hair, but…” Girl. Be for real.
Tyme Iron Pro takes a different approach: it brings the heat smartly, with evenly distributed titanium plates that style fast and seal the cuticle while they do it. It gets hot (300ºF to 400ºF range), but that’s kind of the point—you get smoothness and definition, minus the four rounds of touch-ups.
The result? Curls that hold. Straight styles that don’t puff up. Waves that actually last through brunch, meetings, and date night. You don’t need to drench your head in hairspray or do the curl-and-pray routine. And for those asking how to use a Tyme Iron—it takes minutes to learn, and way less than that to master.
So, if you want hair that doesn’t quit the second you leave the house, TYME doesn’t play around. Dyson may feel like a spa moment, but Tyme gets the job done.
Ease of use—One is intuitive, the other has a learning curve (and a group chat)
How to use the Dyson Airwrap? Start with damp hair, pick the right barrel, figure out the direction it spins, and try not to mix up the left vs. right side. Oh—and don’t forget to switch barrels mid-style if you want curls to face opposite ways. Sound like a lot? It is. The Airwrap can give you that salon-finish look, but it comes with a tutorial rabbit hole, arm cramps, and a learning curve that could honestly qualify as a part-time job.
Now it’s time for Tyme Iron Pro. The technique might look a little unfamiliar at first (hi, twist + glide), but it’s made to be mastered in minutes. Once you’ve got the hang of the angle, it’s muscle memory—suddenly you’re flipping, curling, waving like a professional. No attachments. No guesswork. No “wait, why is this side flat?”
And because it’s a Tyme Iron Pro, not just your average flat iron, you can switch from curls to straight in one pass—without digging through a pile of tools or trying to remember what the pink barrel does again.
Bottom line? Dyson feels like an experience. Tyme feels like control. You learn it once, and you’re set for life. (Or at least until your next night out.)
One of these tools is texture-friendly. The other has a type.
The Dyson Airwrap may be a beauty-status symbol, but it’s also kind of a diva when it comes to hair types. If your strands are naturally smooth or fine? Cool. You’ll probably get the look. But for literally anyone outside that lane, things get a little… high maintenance.
Dyson tends to prefer
✨ Fine, naturally straight or soft-textured hair
✨ Freshly washed, still-damp strands
✨ Small sections, lots of prep, and a little extra prayer
But if you’ve got thicker hair, curls, or texture that doesn't just fall into place?
You might be dealing with
❌ Curls that unravel by the time your makeup’s done
❌ A 45-minute routine with every product under the sun
❌ Attachments that look promising but underdeliver on hold
Now enter: Tyme Iron Pro—aka the one that actually gets you.
What it gives
✅ Even heat that works for fine, coarse, and curly strands
✅ Consistent results on clean, second-day, or styled hair
✅ Curls, waves, flips, straightening—all from one multitasking tool
It doesn’t care how much hair you’ve got or what curl pattern you’re rocking. It works with your texture instead of fighting it, and the hold? She’s not leaving you for flatness by 2 p.m.
No gimmicks. No damp hair rules. No “maybe it’ll hold this time.”
Just one tool that shows up for every version of your hair.
Cost vs. what you actually get
When it comes to splurge tools, the Dyson Airwrap isn’t just pricey—it’s a full-on investment. Like, rent-adjacent. You’re paying for sleek design, engineering flexes, and a lot of hype. And sure, it feels luxe to unbox a tool that comes with its own mini suitcase. But then what? A tool that requires tutorials, dozens of Dyson Airwrap attachments, and still might not hold your curls? That’s a harder sell.
Now zoom out for a second. The Tyme Iron Pro delivers multiple styles with no add-ons needed. You get curls, waves, straight styles, and flips from a single tool—no clips, barrels, or NASA-level assembly. It’s basically your full glam routine in one hand.
But what’s the actual breakdown?
Dyson Airwrap: ~$599
– Includes: The base tool + 47 (okay, 6) attachments
– Works best on: Fine hair + damp hair only
– Known for: Looking cute on your vanity
– Hold: Not so iconic
– Travel-friendly? Not unless you’re checking a bag
Tyme Iron Pro: ~$199
– Includes: Just one multitasker that does it all
– Works best on: Literally every hair type
– Known for: Speed, hold, and styling that lasts
– Hold: Built to last through brunch, cocktails, and humidity
– Travel-friendly? Easily—fits in a carry-on, no problem
The winner? Dyson’s flashy, but TYME’s functional and flexible. If you’re spending your own money and want a tool that works without a whole production, the Tyme Iron isn’t just worth it—it’s the quiet luxury move your routine’s been begging for.
Cute curls are great… but do they hold?
The Dyson Airwrap creates soft, airy curls—emphasis on soft. You might get the aesthetic for a TikTok clip or dinner out, but by dessert? Those spirals have often vanished into a limp wave or... nothing at all.
And if you’ve got hair that’s thick, heavy, or just naturally stubborn? Forget it.
It’s all down to heat control. The Airwrap prides itself on using less direct heat (yay for damage control), but that also means the curl doesn’t always lock in. You’ll spend 40 minutes styling damp hair only to grab your curling wand anyway.
The Tyme Iron Pro? Total opposite energy. Its titanium plates deliver consistent, even heat—meaning curls form fast, and stay. No need to overdo it with high temps or extra product. Just one pass, a cool-down, and you’re set for the day (or night, or both).
And because you can control the heat—from 300° to 400°F—you get lasting style without sacrificing your hair health.
In summary?
– Dyson Airwrap: Light touch, luxe feel, but curls that fall flat—fast
– Tyme Iron Pro: Curls, waves, flips that actually last (even through humidity and bad dates)
Because what’s the point of styling your hair if it’s gone before your coffee hits?
Final verdict? The Tyme Iron Pro clears.
Look, no one’s saying the Dyson Airwrap isn’t pretty. The branding is *immaculate*. The box feels like you’ve just adopted a baby robot stylist. But once the shine wears off (and the curls fall out), you’re left with a $600 tool that needs attachments, tutorials, and towel-damp timing to maybe give you volume.
The Tyme Iron Pro, on the other hand? It WORKS. For thick hair. For fine hair. For day-two hair. For girlies who don’t want their countertop to look like a science lab.
It’s faster. It’s easier. It holds. And best of all? It’s not just a flex—it’s functional. You don’t need a blowout appointment, a 10-step prep, or three plug converters just to feel cute on vacation.
If you want a multitasker that does the most without doing too much? This is it.
Ready for a new hot tool era? Your hair (and your suitcase space) will thank you. 💜
