My favourite hair-styler for long-lasting curls is returning to Aldi next week. The supermarket is bringing back the viral 5-in-1 Hair Styler, with the “sell-out” gadget hitting shelves from May 1. Boasting five attachments, including a 32mm round brush, a 60mm oval brush, two curling attachments and a drying attachment, the versatile tool has long been a hit with shoppers.
Many social media users have even compared it to the Dyson Airwrap, a cult favourite among beauty fans. However, Aldi’s version is much more affordable at £59.99 (while the Dyson Airwrap i.d. usually retails for £479.99).
Aldi’s product description states: “The 5-in-1 Hair Styler is sure to become every beauty aficionado’s secret weapon. Featuring ionic technology to help say farewell to frizz, three temperature levels, two speed settings and even reverse-air functionality for auto-clean, it also has two stylish colourways to choose from: black and rose gold or champagne.”
I got my hands on Aldi’s must-have styler last year, and it’s been a staple in my beauty routine ever since. I picked up one of the gadgets last November, so it saw me through the festive season and beyond.
While the drying attachment is my most-used feature — I like how quickly it dries my hair — I love the curling attachments too. Admittedly, the styler took some getting used to, and it’s quicker for me to use a traditional curling wand, but the extra effort is worth it.
When I use the curling attachment to dry and curl damp hair, then use the cool-shot button to help set the curl, it creates long-lasting curls that stand the test of time. When I used the styler before a recent party, I was impressed that my curls looked bouncy even after I stepped off the dance floor, where I’d been twirling and jumping all night.
However, as I highlighted in my first review, I wish the styler had a longer cord. The 360° swivel cord is a clever feature, but at 180cm the cord doesn’t stretch far, so it could be difficult to use unless you have a plug right next to your mirror.
For instance, it doesn’t stretch to the mirror inside my small bathroom. I also find I need to apply serum to my frizz-prone hair after use, but I still think it’s my favourite Aldi purchase of all time.
Reviewing the hair styler on TikTok, blogger Chloe Paton (@chloepaton05) said: “This is the best thing I’ve ever bought.” Her caption read: “It can take a lot out you to dry & style extensions but the job is halved with this!!!
“My curls last about a week & I have never loved something so much in my life.” Showcasing her results, she added: “So easy to use & an absolute game changer defo recommend!”
Aldi’s 5-in-1 Hair Styler returns to stores from May 1. Other beauty products on offer will include a £29.99 Brushless Motor Hairdryer and a £9.99 Pore Remover.
