After experimenting with the device, I understand how someone could feel that way. It’s relatively common to find just as many Airwrap complaints on social media as there are rave reviews-many people try the machine and say it “doesn’t work” for their hair. The only other big change is the rough dry attachment, which now also has a flyaway smoother setting. The other attachments have been updated as well, though the updates are not as noticeable, in my opinion. In the Airwrap Complete, there’s just one barrel for each curl size, and all you have to do is gently toggle it at the top to change curl direction. This ended up adding a lot of clutter, time, and manual gymnastics to my hairstyling routine. With this model, you can buy a device that includes attachments suited for longer hair from the get-go.įurther, in the previous model, you’d have to detach and swap attachments midway through styling if you wanted to curl your hair in a different direction. If you wanted barrels suited for longer hair, you’d have to purchase them separately. In the previous Airwrap model, the device came with four curling barrels-two 1.2-inch barrels (one that set curls in one direction, and another that set curls the other way) and two 1.6-inch barrels (same as the 1.2-inch)-in addition to the blow-dryer, brush, and round brush attachments.
