Care Air 2.0 MultiStyler – When Function Beats Finish

Best in Test | Tested on Long Fine Hair | 8-in-1 Multistyler

When you first unbox the Care Air 2.0, it feels quite premium. The packaging is glittery and elegant — it gives off a luxury vibe. That said, Dyson takes things to the next level. It comes in a beautifully designed storage case, where everything has its place. It’s not just pretty, it’s practical — something you can leave out on your bathroom counter without clutter.

But honestly? Is that worth paying over €250 more for?

For most users — especially those focused on results — the answer is probably no. If your goal is gorgeous, long-lasting curls with minimal effort, the Care Air actually delivers better results, particularly for beginners. Dyson requires a bit more learning and technique, whereas the Care Air just works straight out of the box. It's intuitive, easy to master, and gives beautiful results fast.

That said, we understand why some might pay extra. Dyson’s case is smartly designed, acting as a proper organizer. The attention to detail — from hair type–specific app guides to automatic pauses and cooling — makes it feel luxurious and thoughtful.

But if you dial down the luxury and focus on real performance, the Care Air 2.0 holds its own. No, it doesn’t cool automatically or pause between curls — but neither does a regular curling iron. And honestly? That’s fine.

Here’s the key point:
Care Air isn’t a cheap knock-off — it’s its own thing, and it works.

Test Results – Here’s How It Performed

We tested a wide range of multistylers, but only two offered true automatic curling: Dyson Airwrap and Care Air 2.0.

All others — regardless of price — required manually wrapping hair around a heated barrel, much like a traditional curling iron. This demands both hands, technique, and more heat exposure.

With Dyson and Care Air, it’s a different story. Both automatically draw in your hair and wrap it effortlessly around the barrel — all you need to do is press a button.

What’s the secret? The Coanda Effect

Both stylers use the Coanda effect — an aerodynamic phenomenon where air follows a curved surface and gently pulls hair along with it. Dyson has patented the concept, but in real-world use, Care Air mimics the effect impressively.

Head-to-Head With Dyson – Faster Curling, Easier Use

In manual tests, Care Air wrapped hair faster and more accurately than the Dyson. That’s a huge win for beginners or those new to multistylers.

• Dyson requires a bit more precision with angles to activate the suction correctly.
• Care Air, by contrast, is more forgiving — it just works.

One important difference:

• Dyson pauses between curls, while Care Air continuously draws in hair. That means you need to be ready, or it might tug slightly.
• Pro tip: Hold the curl near the roots when pulling the styler away to avoid any tangling.

Curls – Better Than Expected

We used the 35 mm barrel to create large, soft curls. From start to finish, styling a full head of long fine hair took just 13–15 minutes.

By comparison:

• Dyson took around 18–20 minutes
• Remington took even longer due to manual wrapping

But do the curls last?
Yes — and better than expected.
Many stylers produce curls that flatten within 30 minutes. The Care Air 2.0 gave us curls that lasted all day, with gentle waves still visible the next morning.

Volume and Smoothing – Clearly Approved

We also tested its volumizing and straightening functions. The large round brush (65 mm) was excellent for root lift — it felt like a salon blowout. The straightening brush didn’t flatten like a flat iron but tamed frizz and added polish. Ion tech made a noticeable difference in static reduction.

‍

Most Attachments = Most Versatility

Care Air 2.0 comes with more accessories than any other model in the test — eight in total. Dyson typically includes six.

And these aren’t filler tools. Each head has a clear purpose:

• Curling barrels (35 mm, left + right): Soft, natural-looking curls with solid hold
• Large volume brush: Blow-dry effect, root lift
• Shaping brush: Gentle waves, anti-frizz
• Straightening brush: Smooth, polished finish without extreme flattening
• Diffuser: For curly or wavy hair, enhances curl definition
• Narrow nozzle: For fast, targeted drying

‍

Having so many options means you can use it for a variety of looks – from curls to straight hair, from volume to waves. It’s a great buy if you want one device that can do it all, without having to invest in multiple separate tools.

Any Downsides?

Yes — but they’re minor.

• No automatic cool-down: You have to manually press the cool shot and count seconds.
• Cord could be longer: 2 meters is fine, but some setups might need more reach.

Compared to Dyson’s automatic features and slightly more premium feel, you notice the difference — but not in the results.

Final Verdict – Should You Buy It?

Yes — especially if you want beautiful curls at the best price point in its class.

It doesn’t require a learning curve. It delivers consistently great results. And it’s incredibly easy to use — even for first-timers.

We recommend it if you:

• Have long or fine hair and want to curl without damage
• Don’t want to fuss with flat irons or curling wands
• Want all-in-one functionality in a single, versatile tool

The Care Air 2.0 isn’t just a Dyson alternative — it’s a powerful, capable product that stands on its own. That’s why we named it Best in Test.

It combines ease of use, impressive results, and unmatched versatility — all without compromising on quality.
