I am LOVING my new @dysonhair Airstrait. For thick hair, it is superior over the GHD version. It dries fast, leaves the hair very smooth. I first power dry my hair with my blow dryer to get it about 80-90% dry, then section and run the Air Straight over it to finsih the style. It works amazing on dry hair too as a second or third day restyling tool. If you have been curious about this tool, it is worth the splurge! I have heard from those with thinner or fine hair, that it makes it too flat or sleek and they prefer more volume.
