The Ultimate AirStraight FAQ: Your Questions Answered
The Ace & Taylor AirStraight is a revolutionary hair styling tool that straightens your hair with warm air instead of direct heat. But how exactly does it work? Is it suitable for your hair type? And what makes it different from a traditional flat iron? In this comprehensive FAQ, we answer all your questions about the AirStraight.
What is the AirStraight and how does it work?
The AirStraight is an innovative hair styling tool that straightens your hair with a powerful flow of warm air instead of the direct heat of a traditional flat iron. Using advanced BLDC motor technology, the AirStraight creates a controlled airflow that smooths your hair while drying and styling.
It works by placing your hair between two plates that blow hot air through your hair. This method is much gentler on your hair because no direct heat is applied to your hair cuticles, preventing heat damage.
Is the AirStraight suitable for my hair type?
Yes! The AirStraight is suitable for all hair types:
- Fine hair: Use a lower temperature setting for soft, smooth results without damage.
- Normal hair: Perfect balance between speed and protection at medium temperature
- Thick hair: Use a higher temperature setting for effective styling of thicker hair.
- Curly hair: Ideal for smoothing curls without damaging the natural health of your hair.
- Wavy hair: Create a sleek, smooth result or maintain a soft wave
- Damaged hair: Perfect because it causes less heat damage than traditional straighteners
What is the difference between the AirStraight and a regular straightening iron?
The big difference is in the way your hair is styled:
| AirStraight | Traditional Straightening Iron |
|---|---|
| Warm air flow | Direct heat via plates |
| Less heat damage | Increased risk of heat damage |
| Suitable for damp and dry hair | For dry hair only |
| Healthier for your hair in the long run | May dry out hair with frequent use |
| Faster styling possible | Slower process |
Can I use the AirStraight on wet hair?
Yes! One of the biggest advantages of the AirStraight is that you can use it on towel-dried hair. You don't have to blow-dry your hair completely before styling. This saves time and reduces your hair's overall heat exposure.
Tip: For best results, use the AirStraight on hair that is approximately 70-80% dry. Pat your hair dry first with a microfiber towel.
How long will my hair stay smooth with the AirStraight?
With the AirStraight your hair will stay smooth for an average of 1-3 days, depending on:
- Your hair type (fine hair often holds styling longer than thick, curly hair)
- Weather conditions (humidity can make styling fade faster)
- Products you use (a good heat protectant and finishing spray will help)
- Your sleeping habits (a silk pillowcase helps your style last longer)
Many customers report that their hair stays smoother longer than with a traditional straightener because the airflow pushes the styling deeper into the hair.
Does the AirStraight damage my hair?
No, the AirStraight is designed to minimize heat damage. Because no direct heat is applied to your hair like with a flat iron, the risk of damage is much lower. The warm airflow distributes the heat evenly and prevents hot spots that can damage your hair.
Important: Always use a heat protection product for optimal protection, even with the AirStraight.
What temperature should I use?
The right temperature depends on your hair type:
- Fine/damaged hair: 150-170°C
- Normal hair: 170-190°C
- Thick/coarse/curly hair: 190-210°C
Golden rule: Always start at a lower temperature and increase only as needed. More heat doesn't automatically mean better results!
How quickly can I style my hair with the AirStraight?
Most users style their hair in 10-20 minutes , depending on the length and thickness of their hair. Because you can use the AirStraight on damp hair, you save the time of blow-drying first. This often makes the entire styling process faster than the traditional method of blow-drying and flat ironing.
Do I need to use products with the AirStraight?
Recommended products:
- Heat protectant: Always! Protects your hair from heat up to 230°C.
- Anti-frizz serum: Helps achieve a smoother result and controls frizz
- Finishing spray: Fixes your styling and provides extra shine
- Hair oil: Apply to ends after styling for extra care
Always apply products to damp hair before styling for best results.
How do I maintain my AirStraight?
Simple maintenance for a long life:
- Clean the plates regularly with a soft, damp cloth (only when the appliance is cold)
- Remove hair residue after each use
- Check the filter monthly and clean if necessary
- Store the AirStraight in the supplied bag to prevent dust

What's the difference between the AirStraight and the Dyson Airstrait?
The Ace & Taylor AirStraight uses the same technology as the Dyson AirStraight—both styles use warm air instead of direct heat. The big difference is the price: you save hundreds of euros with the Ace & Taylor version without compromising on quality.
Main similarities:
- The same BLDC motor technology
- Warm air flow instead of direct heat
- Suitable for wet and dry hair
- Multiple temperature settings
- Professional results
Can I also use the AirStraight for volume?
Yes! While the AirStraight is primarily designed to smooth hair, you can also create volume at the roots by lifting your hair slightly at the roots while styling. For maximum root volume and smooth lengths, this is the perfect tool.
Is the AirStraight suitable for short hair?
Absolutely! The AirStraight works great on short hair. For very short hair (above the ears), it can be a little trickier to position the plates correctly, but for bob lengths and longer, it's perfectly suitable.
