More Airflow Settings

It’s no surprise here that the Dyson Airwrap has more precise airflow control since the v9 patented motor is the secret of this premium hair tool.

Ionic Technology

We know Ionic technology is always not a strength of Dyson’s hair tools, but the Drybar Double Shot blow dryer brush is equipped with an ion generator that can seal our hair cuticles and provide protection while using it.

Unfortunately, it is still very hard to tell if the ionic technology really works since the Dyson Airwrap did not cause any hair damage at all.

Large Barrel

But this feature can be a disadvantage for people who has thin and short hair because it is going to be difficult to roll the barrel.

Lower Price

The Drybar Double Shot blow dryer brush’s sales price is $150.

The Dyson Airwrap styler starts at $499 by having different attachment options and the complete set is $549, which means it is much more expensive than the Drybar Double Shot styler.

Conclusion:

The Drybar Double Shot blow dryer brush offers a larger barrel than the Dyson Airwrap, along with more easy-to-use product design and a cheaper price point. If you don’t need a luxury hair tool, then this blow dryer brush can perfectly replace your hair dryer & old brush.

The Dyson Airwrap meanwhile, has more styling possibilities, advanced temperature & speed settings compared to the Drybar Double Shot blow dryer brush. But obviously, you have to spend more on this hair tool for its premium high-end features.
