For years, the Dyson Airwrap was the gold standard of air stylers. Everyone wanted one, but at $650, it was a luxury most couldn’t justify.
Drying, styling, perfect curls, without damaging your hair… Hard to beat, right? Well, that’s what we thought. Until 2026, when a new contender hit the scene, smashing sales records and even overtaking Dyson on the best-seller lists. Its name? GlamBeauty.
On TikTok and Instagram, videos are flooding in: women trying it out, getting amazed by the results, and some even claiming it outperforms Dyson. So, is it just hype or a real game-changer? I put GlamBeauty to the test — here’s what I found.
The Buzz
Why is everyone talking about it?
From the moment it launched, GlamBeauty was turning heads. You’d think it was just another knockoff trying to ride Dyson’s wave, but no. In a matter of months, it became the best-selling styler of 2026, even outpacing Dyson on some platforms.
Its success comes down to something rare in the beauty industry: insane word-of-mouth. It all started on TikTok and Instagram, where the first review videos racked up millions of views fast. Women showed off their curls, salon-worthy blowouts, and most importantly, their shock at how well it worked. Soon, even big-name influencers jumped on board.
So, is it just a passing trend or a real haircare revolution? To find out, I had to compare the two. Verdict coming up.
Head to Head
GlamBeauty vs. Dyson
With GlamBeauty blowing up, one question kept coming up: can it really go toe-to-toe with the Dyson Airwrap? Here’s a detailed comparison of the two devices.
GlamBeauty vs. Dyson Airwrap
Same technology. Same results. A fraction of the price.
See today’s priceAt first glance, the two devices seem to have a lot in common: same technology, same promises, same results. But GlamBeauty stands out in a few key areas.
The price: $99 vs. $650 is a massive difference. With similar performance, that price gap just doesn’t add up. Ease of use: GlamBeauty is more intuitive and lighter, especially for beginners. Customer reviews: 4.9/5 against Dyson’s 4.7/5 — GlamBeauty seems to be winning more hearts.
The only area where Dyson has a slight edge is power (1300W vs. 1200W), but in practice, it’s barely noticeable.
Hands-On
My test
Comparisons are great, but nothing beats a hands-on test. So I put GlamBeauty through its paces for a few weeks to see if it really delivers.
Right out of the box, I was impressed. The device is light, well-balanced, and easy to handle. Unlike the Dyson Airwrap, which has a bit of a learning curve, GlamBeauty is super intuitive. I figured out how to use it in minutes, without struggling to master the Coanda technique.
One of Dyson’s big selling points is how fast it can style your hair. On this front, GlamBeauty doesn’t disappoint. In under 15 minutes, I had defined curls and a blowout that looked straight out of a salon. Compared to my experience with Dyson, the styling time was almost identical — no loss of power, no going over the same section twice.
This was the real test. Would GlamBeauty live up to the hype? Honestly, I was blown away. Curls were well-defined, soft, and natural-looking. Volume was impressive, especially at the roots. My hair was left shiny, with zero dullness. I tested it on clean, slightly damp hair, and the results were just as good — if not better — than Dyson.
Great hair is one thing. Hair that actually lasts all day is another. After a full day: my curls held their shape and bounce until evening, with no frizz or puffiness — even with a bit of humidity. A light mist of hairspray made it last even longer. For a styler under $100, I wasn’t expecting it to perform this well.
The Verdict
My final word
I’ll admit, I was skeptical. But GlamBeauty won me over.
Can it compete with Dyson?Absolutely.
Does it deserve the hype?100%.
Would I recommend it?No doubt.
At this price, it’s hands down the best Dyson dupe out there. Even if you already own a flat iron or a blow-dry brush, GlamBeauty makes daily styling so much easier.
Availability
Where to buy it
One of the reasons GlamBeauty is making such a splash is that it’s often sold out. With a killer price and unbelievable results, it’s not unusual to see it disappear from shelves in a matter of days.
