40MM 1.6 in Long Curling Barrel Attachment - Volumizing Curl Tool

In this review of the 40MM/1.6 in Long Curling Barrel Curling Brush Attachment, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, travel-friendly option for users who already own compatible Dyson-style tools and want a single attachment that adds volume and curl direction control. The reviewer found it most useful for medium to long hair where shaping and alternating curl directions matter, and appreciated that it converts several hair dryer models into a curling styler using the included adapter. If you need a compact way to add rounded, bouncy volume without buying a full new styler, this attachment delivers.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Works with Airwrap-style HS01 and HS05 models and includes an adapter to fit multiple hair dryer models so it integrates with existing tools.
• Dual-direction curling wand: One roller supports curling in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, allowing alternated curls for a more natural finish.
• Round volumizing brush: Bristles create tension and lift to shape hair as it dries, helping produce a fuller, salon-style look.
• Portable kit: The set includes an adapter, round volumizing brush, and an extended curling wand, making it convenient to carry for travel or touch-ups.
• Styling versatility: The attachment is useful for creating sleek straight looks, soft waves, or bouncy curls depending on technique and heat source used.

Who It's For

This attachment is aimed at people who already own Dyson-style Airwrap tools or compatible hair dryers HD01/HD02/HD03/HD04/HD07/HD08 and want to expand styling options without replacing their entire set. It suits those with medium to long hair seeking added volume, controlled curl direction, and a compact kit for travel.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who do not own a compatible styler or dryer and want an all-in-one motorized unit, or anyone seeking advanced temperature control and professional salon-grade motors, as this is an accessory rather than a standalone heated styler.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Adds real volume and shape with the round brush bristles that grip hair while styling.
• Dual-direction curling capability makes alternating curl patterns simple and natural-looking.
• Includes an adapter and extended wand so it adapts to multiple dryer models and packs well for travel.
• Good replacement option if an original 2-in-1 attachment is lost or damaged.

Cons

• Not a standalone heated device; performance depends on the heat or airflow of the compatible styler or dryer used.
• Limited to the specific models listed for fit, so incompatible tools will require a different solution.

The attachment is designed for HS01 and HS05 Airwrap-style models and includes an adapter to fit several listed dryer models; confirm your model number before purchasing.

No, this is an attachment rather than a heated unit; it relies on the airflow and heat from a compatible styler or dryer to shape hair.

What hair types is it best for?
It is best suited to medium to long hair for adding volume and smooth curls; very short hair will not benefit as much from the 40MM barrel and round brush.
