The Dyson Airstrait™ offers versatile styling options for both wet and dry hair.

4.1. Wet Mode Styling

For best results, start with towel-dried hair. This mode is designed to dry and straighten simultaneously.

2. Select Wet Mode: Press the appropriate button on the device to activate Wet mode. The display will show a wet hair icon.
3. Adjust Settings: Select your desired airflow and temperature. For initial drying, maximum airflow and high temperature are recommended.
4. Rough Dry Roots (Optional): If roots are very wet, lock the arms and use the device to rough dry the roots until damp.
5. Section Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections using clips.
6. Straighten: Unlock the arms. Take a section of hair and glide the Airstrait™ from root to tip, ensuring even tension. Repeat until the section is dry and straight.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Dyson Airstrait™ Straightener, refer to the following common solutions:

• Device Not Turning On: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the device and a functional electrical outlet. Check for any tripped circuit breakers.
• Hair Not Straightening Effectively: Ensure your hair is damp (not soaking wet or completely dry for Wet mode). Use smaller sections of hair and glide the device slowly and evenly from root to tip. Verify the correct temperature setting for your hair type.
• Excessive Frizz: Ensure hair is adequately detangled before styling. Apply a small amount of heat protectant or anti-frizz serum. Use the Cool Shot feature at the end of styling to help set the hair and reduce frizz.
• Device Feels Heavy: The Airstrait™ is designed for efficient styling. If fatigue occurs, take short breaks between sections. Utilize the provided heat-resistant mat to rest the device.
• Unusual Noises or Reduced Airflow: Check the filter for any debris or blockages and clean it as per the maintenance instructions.
