There is a learning curve and I do think practice makes perfect (while watching their video tutorials) for getting the most out of it!

Curls using circulating air

A common misconception is that the Airwrap barrels spin to wrap your hair, but it actually curls using the Coanda effect. In simpler terms, it propels air in a circular pattern around the wand at a rapid speed, which attracts each section of hair with a…
