Argos shoppers rush to buy Air Wrap dupe that's £180 cheaper than Dyson

Argos fans are rushing to buy an air styler said to be similar to Dyson's Air Wrap, but for £170 less.

The Dyson Air Wrap is known for transforming hair with much less effort - and less heat - than common styling tools. But as it costs a whopping £479.99 it's out of the question for many people who would like to be able to do their own hair with ease.

Rival brand Shark has a similar product, the FlexStyle 5-in-1 Air Styler & Hair Dryer, and it's available at Argos for £300.

Argos shared a video of a woman using the item on its Instagram feed and it has garnered a huge response. In the clip, the woman says "I wanted to give myself a home blow-dry and I am so impressed" before quickly and easily styling her own hair into soft curls.

Many shoppers said they are now going to Argos to make a purchase. Kerry said: "Oh wow I think I'm going to get me one of these thank you. Your hair looks gorgeous".

The product has a 4.4 out of five star rating on Argos' website, and can be purchased here

If you're looking for a cheaper option, there are other stylers on the market. Boots is currently selling the Revamp Progloss™ Airstyle - 6 in 1 Air Styler for £79.99, while Hot Tools has a Volumiser 2-in1- Brush and Dryer (with changeable heads) for £129.
