42、er which proved a huge hit despite the 299 cost.This new gadget promises to be a whole new way to create waves and smooth blow-dries,but the price alone is enough to make your hair curl,coming in at an even heftier 399.So what,exactly,is your money buying you? Can there really be THAT different a wa

43、y to curl your hair? Well,this being Dyson,the answer is yes.Its radically different from your typical curling irons that involve you physically winding your hair around a scorching-hot barrel.The new Airwrap technology uses jets of air to attract your hair onto the curling barrel,automatically wrap

44、ping it and shaping it.All you have to do is place a section of hair close to the styler,and itll wind itself around the styler by a (literally) invisible force. If youre a beauty geek,you might like to know that force has a name the Coanda Effect.This occurs when a high speed jet of air flows acros

45、s a surface and the difference in pressure makes the air flow (and any hair that gets caught up in its wake) attach itself to that surface.Dyson says the Coanda effect enables you to shape your hair at far lower temperatures than regular styling,which translates into less damage.Like the Supersonic

46、dryer,the Airwrap employs “intelligent heat control”,measuring the temperature up to 40 times a second to ensure the heat never reaches the point where your hair is frazzled to the point of no return. The Airwrap comes with different attachments,depending on the style you want to achieve.You can eit

47、her go for a wavy look with the curling barrel or use the Coanda effect to guide your hair onto the brush attachment,replicating a salon style blow dry without the arm ache. “Once my hair was wrapped in place and had been sufficiently whooshed for a few seconds,I hit the cool button to set the style

48、,then slid the styler out of my hair.I felt shocked,proud,ecstatic,disbelieving.It was kind of like childbirth without the mess.”Then again,many people were initially sceptical about the idea of coughing up nearly 300 for a hairdryer,yet the Supersonic has blown away all the doubters.Whos to say the Airwrap wont be our new best curl friend? The Dyson Airwrap is available at Dyson online and in Dyson stores. 【语篇解读】本文为说明文,主要介绍了一款新型卷发棒。 28.Compared with the Supersonic hairdryer,the Airwrap . A.is much bigger B.is more expensive C.couldnt dry hair D.needs more energy 答案 B
