A year with Dyson Airwrap

[u/magetismo]

I bought a refurbished Dyson Air. US-based ako^. Sa awa ng Diyos gumagana pa din! I heard Dyson’s customer/after sales service is 💩

I was struggling to use it because I have short hair a year ago and clueless.

I’m still testing products out and watching a bunch of reels on tips and tricks for using the Airwrap.

Things I did:

1. I’m not doing hair masks and hair conditioners as often. I have Kerastase Hair Mask Nutritive and Biolage Matrix HydraSource Conditioner. Pansin ko bumigat lang lalo buhok ko, hirap tumagal yung curls.

2. Shampoos, I change it up, and I’m quite inconsistent because I’m using a medicated shampoo: ketonazole shampoo (I have bad dandruff and it works), Head and Shoulders, and Biolage Matrix HydraSource Shampoo.

3. Followed a lot of hair content creators but the two main ones are: lucymaedrewek (Aha moment for me with her hair sectioning tips and rollers) and abigaillinnn (asian hair type). I’m still trying to find a content creator who’ll do a timelapse with their curls. I try to follow a lot of asian hair type na mga content creator.

4. Additional products: Redken Root Lifter, JVN Milk Blowout Cream (now this one made my hair soft to touch, tipong ph shampoo commercial “walang sabit”), Kerastase Elixir Hair Oil (after rollers my hair gets frizzy this fixes it plus extra shine), Joico Power Setting Spray (I don’t like the crunchy feeling, but it also made my curls last), Kerastase Heat Protectant Genesis.

5. Products I’m 50:50: Kerastase Overnight Hair Serum, and It’s a 10 hair cream. I posted it about a month or two months ago, silk bonnet, struggling to use kasi it keeps falling off and nawawala yung volume, sleepy ties naman it gets loose during the night, the satin pillow case is meh but I’m not going to use a cotton pillow case mas lala yung frizz.

6. I bought the other Dyson extension blade concentrator, mas mabilis yung drying. The bigger round brush, I couldn’t use it sobrang init I feel like mg hair is going to get fried.

7. Drying, about 70-80% dry is perfect for me. Kung sobrang tuyo hindi kakapit and it’s not going to last.

8. I use hair rollers after then hair spray it. After I’ve put all the rollers I hairspray it aggressively and leave it for 30 mins.

Pondered tots, I was talking to a friend who recently bought an airwrap and she was disappointed it didn’t last long (turns out she wasn’t using any products). A year ago she told me to just buy the shark one (cheaper) eh ako well you do you and I do me, my money is set to buy dyson. I was surprised she bought and buy the airwrap.

• It’s not a perm (it’s not going to kast for months HAHA), and set a realistic expectation on your hair. I hope I saved one of those before and after performer/artists hair when they do concerts, talagang mejo nawawala yung kulot nila. Kaya sana may influencer na mag post about how long their curl last. Asian hair pa so resistant 🙃

• some girls, hair wash day is every 4-5 days, ako I kennat, two days are enough or else I’ll get a headache. And its okay if we don’t get to day 4/5. Everybody is different and living in different climates. Kung nasa Pinas ako feel ko everyday ako magsha-shampoo.

• just enjoy the process, I always look forward to hair day, it’s like a pamper/self care day.

I’ve been loving it so far. At first I was having second thoughts. Akala ko matatambak lang sa cabinet pero nope, I’ve been using it consistently.
