Love the Dyson Airstrait look, but not the cost? These clever product swaps mimic its coveted technology at a fraction of the price.
When it comes to haircare and heat styling, Dyson’s been coming out on top for some time, and the Airstrait is no exception. Unlike your typical wet-to-dry straighteners that blast hair with super-hot plates — a recipe for damage — the Airstrait uses high-pressure airflow to smooth your hair without clamping it between scorching surfaces.
Speaking from experience (shoutout to my mum for the Christmas gift), it’s worth it if you’re serious about straightening your hair. The catch? It’ll set you back nearly £380.
But if that price tag makes you hesitate (I did end up selling it in the end), don’t worry — there are some great dupes out there that get you the same result without breaking the bank. Here, L360 rounds up the best.
- Best price: Remington Wet2Straight Pro Hair Straightener
- Best dupe: Shark FlexFusion Styler and Straightener
Revlon One‑Step Air Straight
Buy for £42 at Amazon
This two-in-one dryer and straightener combines hot-air drying and plate-based straightening in a single device. It works best on towel-dried hair, and the side vents gently blow dry while ceramic plates/teeth soften and smooth.
At £42, it’s affordable and lightweight — great for quick straightening without needing a separate blow dryer.
GHD Duet Style
Get now for £299 to £379 at GHD
A wet-to-dry styler from a classic hair straightener brand, the GHD Duet Style features upper and lower plates along with vented airflow. It’s heavier than the Dyson Airstrait, but still performs well, and has fewer heat settings (Wet-to-Dry and ShineShot) for a simpler user experience.
Priced between £299 and £379, it’s not far off the Airstrait price — but if you’re after a powerful alternative and an £80 saving, it’s a strong contender.

Shark FlexFusion Styler and Straightener
Buy for £278.20 at Amazon
Considered the closest dupe to the Dyson Airstrair, the Shark FlexFusion is a five-in-one powerful multifunction tool with a straightening attachment that uses airflow and ceramic plates to dry and smooth damp hair in one pass.
The package also includes curling barrels, a diffuser and volume attachments. It’s close to the Dyson experience, yet around £100 cheaper; that’s a pretty solid saving.

Remington Wet2Straight Pro
Get now for £29.99 at Amazon
While it’s not technically an airflow-based styler, the Remington Wet2Straight Pro moisture-handling and infused venting system make it a solid alternative that produces similar results. It removes excess water efficiently and the built-in moisture-sensing technology adjusts heat dynamically to help prevent damage.
Already budget-friendly at around £60, it’s currently a staggering 70% off on Amazon for just £29.99. Get it while it’s hot — literally.
