About this deal

It comes with four attachments: a hair dryer, a round brush with soft bristles, a blow-dry paddle brush with hard bristles for smoothing and straightening and a conical barrel for curling. In general, I am really low-maintenance when it comes to haircare, especially as I don't have any hair colour in my hair. When she’s not testing the latest must-have beauty product, she loves Lego Architecture, murder mysteries, and chasing after her four-year-old.

The cons: If you’re looking for a tool to replace your hair dryer and give you tight curls, then this probably isn’t the tool for you. While I loved the initial shape of the curl, it just dropped out too quickly, even with prepping my hair and using a mousse to give the best chance of hold. It isn’t poker straight, and I haven’t got gloriously bouncy curls—it’s somewhere annoyingly in the middle. In reality, this takes a bit of practice but once you nail it, the finish is almost indistinguishable from what we get from the salon. My verdict: This is great for generally smoothing and volumising your hair, with the added benefit of some curls, without requiring much effort, time or a big investment like other competing products on the market.

They did drop quickly, so I would go hard on the hair spray to ensure they last longer than a few hours.

My verdict: All in all, I’d say the Remington Curl and Straight Confidence Air Styler AS8606 offers great value.Yes, the barrel tool took some getting used to, and I am certainly no pro at it, but overall, I picked it up quickly and found every other attachment really straightforward. Whilst the hair dryer attachment was quite slow and lacked “oomph,” the round brush quickly smoothed and dried my hair whilst adding volume and bounce. It’s easy to use, uses less heat than other tools on the market, looks great on your dressing table and can help you achieve some amazing styles. The Belissima Air Wonder feels very light in the hands, even with the attachments, so I didn’t find it a pain to hold up for a long period of time.

I don’t like a blow-dry that’s too perfect, I don’t want to look like a weather woman but myself (just with slightly better hair). The nozzle is curved, and made of smooth black plastic, as is the paddle brush which additionally has stiff plastic bristles. They say practice makes perfect, and that is certainly the case with the AirWrap, but no more so in my opinion than if you're trying to perfect a curl with a traditional tong. So we're not seeing these do-it-all hairstyling tools (not to mention great hair days) going anywhere anytime soon. The 360° swivel cord allows high flexibility to move freely without the cord becoming tangled and damaged.The cons: Although the styler gives you plenty of attachments to work with, I would probably reach for just three of the attachments frequently, as I found that my hair just didn’t hold the styling with some of them (such as the round brushes and curling tong).
