Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the safe and effective use of your Dyson Airstrait™ Straightener. The Dyson Airstrait™ is engineered to dry and straighten hair simultaneously from wet to dry, creating a natural straight finish for various hair types. This device operates without hot plates, aiming to minimize heat damage during styling.
