The BET Awards saw a mix of stars hit the red carpet in elegant attire and hairstyles on Sunday (June 25). Among the celebrities to show off praise-worthy hairdos were Ice Spice and Latto, who opted for smooth straight strands and wavy voluminous hair. Their secret for hair perfection? Dyson’s Airstrait and Airwrap.
Before the award show began, both musicians prepared for the big night with their respective hair stylists. Ice Spice, with the help of celebrity hairstylist Kadijah Balde, went for a long, pin-straight hairdo that was achieved using a mix of the Dyson Airstrait and Airwrap, according to Balde.
“By using the new Dyson Airstrait straightener in dry mode at 285 degrees, I was able to straighten Ice Spice’s wig with no heat damage and achieve a sleek look without compromising the integrity of the hair,” Balde said in a statement. “Afterwards, I used a cool shot to lock in the straight look.”
For finishing touches, she ran the Dyson Airwrap through the “Princess Diana” singer’s hair to give it that fresh blowout look and shine.
“I then used … the firm smoothing brush attachment to brush and blow out her hair in order to proceed with additional straightening,” Balde added. “Dyson leaves the hair bone straight and very silky on my client.”
The finishing look was then posted the stylist’s Instagram account to show off the fresh, smooth strands.
Latto decided to debut waves full of volume and shine, which Dyson’s Airwrap was able to effortlessly achieve. Celebrity hairstylist Ashanti Lation helped her pull off this hairstyle using a couple attachments on the styling device.
“I used the Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler with the 1.6-inch long barrel attachment on a high heat and high airflow setting to create big, bold, beautiful blonde body waves, with minimal heat,” Lation explained in a statement. “I then used the Dyson Coanda Smoothing dryer attachment on high heat and high airflow to slick any flyaways for a polished final look.”

The versatile Dyson Airstrait can take freshly washed hair from wet to dry and straight in a matter of minutes. It can also sense when hair is in between the arms and will drop down airflow when it’s not to reduce noise and energy. The LCD screen will also allow you to see airflow and temperature settings for easier customization.

From wet to dry with no heat damage? Dyson is changing the hair game with the Dyson Airstrait, a two-in-one straightener that dries and straightens your hair without using heat.
How does it work? The Airstrait utilizes “precise directional airflow” to simultaneously dry, straighten and protect your hair from heat damage while cutting down on overall styling time. Airflow is accelerated through 1.5mm apertures, creating two high-velocity downward blades of air projected at a 45-degree angle to form “downward facing precision air jets” that dries hair while it straightens.

“Having a strong understanding of how to manipulate and realize the potential of powerful airflow is fundamental to the performance of the Dyson Airstrait straightener,” James Dyson, Dyson’s founder and CEO, said in a news release. “The expertise, which we’ve gained over the last 25 years, is what has enabled us to deliver our first wet to dry straightener, with not hot plates, and not heat damage. Delivering the ease-of-use that people love about straighteners but with high-velocity air blades, saves time, maintains hair strength and achieves an everyday natural straight style.”
Dyson’s Airstrait flat iron retails for a splurge-worthy $499.99, but investing in healthy hair will pay off in the long run. (It also makes a good Mother’s Day gift.) Powered by Dyson’s Hyperdymium motor and equipped with high- and low-airflow speed settings, the Airstrait has an intuitive airflow that senses when your hair is between the two arms of the flat iron, and switches to low-air flow when it’s not.
The Airstrait automatically shifts into auto-pause after three seconds of inactivity and restarts when you pick it back up. Other features include a glass bead thermistor that regulates airflow and temperature to prevent heat damage; a high-definition LCD color display screen that shows temperature and airflow and a lock feature to keep the Airstrait closed when it’s not in use.
Available in Prussian blue/rich copper and nickel/copper colorways, Airstrait is designed for all hair types and features “Wet” and “Dry” modes that are pre-set with a special heat and airflow combination for the best styling results. Choose from 175 degrees, 230 degrees or 285 degrees Fahrenheit when the Airstrait is in “Wet” mode. When its in “Dry” mode, Airstrait lets you chose between 250 degrees and 285 degrees Fahrenheit or “boost” mode to up the ante.
Where can you buy the Dyson Airstrait? Although other hair tools such as the Dyson Airwrap are available at major retailers such as Ulta Beauty, Sephora, Nordstrom, Best Buy and Amazon, the Airstrait is currently only available at Dyson.com.
