yokubo airstyler: Discover five professional hairstyles you can master at home.
If you've ever felt frustrated juggling multiple hair styling tools; hair dryer, straightener, curling iron, you're not alone. The beauty of the Yokubō Deluxe Airstyler lies in its versatility: combining five tools in one powerful device with endless styling possibilities.
Whether you're rushing to a meeting, prepping for date night, or simply want to look polished for a video call, this guide will show you exactly how to create salon-quality styles from wet hair to finished look using our professional-grade air styler.
Let’s explore five stunning styles and how to achieve each one with this 5-in-1 hair tool.
Understanding the Yokubo Deluxe Airstyler
Before we dive into specific styles, it's worth understanding what makes this air styler different from traditional hair tools. Unlike conventional hair dryers that only dry, or styling tools that require completely dry hair, the Yokubō Deluxe Airstyler uses a powerful 110,000 RPM motor combined with heated attachments to dry and style simultaneously.
This wet-to-dry approach is gentler on your hair because you're only exposing it to heat once, not drying first with a blow dryer, then styling again with hot tools. The ionic technology also neutralizes static and seals your hair cuticles for smoother, shinier results.
How to use your airstyler effectively:
Start with towel-dried hair (damp, not dripping)
Choose the right attachment for your desired style
Select the appropriate temperature for your hair type
Work in sections for even, professional results
Always finish with the cold air trigger to set your style
Now, let's get into the specific styles you can create.
Style 1: The Classic Smooth Blowout
Time: 15-20 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Best for: All hair types
What You'll Need
Blowout brush attachment
Heat setting: 80°C (fine/damaged hair) or 100°C (thick/coarse hair)
Optional: Volumising mousse or heat protectant spray
The Technique
Step 1: Prep Your Hair
Start with towel-dried hair, not dripping wet, but still damp. This is the sweet spot for wet-to-dry styling. If you want extra volume, apply a golf-ball-sized amount of mousse to your roots. Always use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle damp hair before styling to help minimise friction and reduce the risk of damage.
Step 2: Section Strategically
Divide your hair into four sections: two at the front, two at the back. Clip them up and work with one section at a time. This prevents you from going over the same hair repeatedly, reducing heat exposure.
Step 3: Root Lift First
Attach the blowout brush and start at the roots. Position the brush underneath each section and lift upward while gently gliding through to the ends. The key is tension, keep the hair taut on the brush for maximum smoothness and volume.
Step 4: Set the Style
Once a section is dry and smooth, use the cold air trigger to set it. This locks in volume and adds shine. Work through all sections methodically.
Step 5: Finish Strong
When all sections are complete, flip your head upside down and give the roots a quick blast of cool air for extra lift.
Pro Tips for Perfect Blowouts
Don't rush the roots: Spend extra time lifting at the root zone, this is where volume comes from
Overlap matters: Let each section slightly overlap with the next for seamless blending
For extra body: Wrap the hair around the brush barrel for 3-5 seconds before releasing
Hair type matters: Fine hair looks best at 80°C with faster brush movements; thick hair needs 100°C with slower, more deliberate passes
The Result? Bouncy, voluminous hair with movement and shine.
Style 2: Sleek & Straight Sophistication
Time: 12-18 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Best for: All hair types, especially wavy or frizz-prone
What You'll Need
Straightening brush attachment
Heat setting: 50°C (delicate/fine hair), 80°C (normal hair), or 100°C (thick/curly hair)
Optional: Smoothing serum
The Technique
Step 1: Start Smart
Begin with damp hair. If you have particularly curly or thick hair, rough-dry first with the blower attachment to remove about 60% of moisture, this makes straightening faster and more effective. Always use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle hair before styling.
Step 2: Section for Success
Divide hair into horizontal sections, starting from the nape of your neck. Work upward toward the crown. Keep unworked sections clipped away.
Step 3: Brush Through Smoothly
Attach the straightening brush and select your temperature. Starting at the roots, slowly glide the brush through each section from root to tip. The heated bristles gently straighten while the airflow dries, no pulling or snagging.
Step 4: Tension Is Everything
For poker-straight results, use your free hand to hold the hair taut as you brush. For softer, natural-looking straight hair, use less tension and a slightly lower temperature.
Step 5: Cool Down
Hit the cold air trigger and run through each section one final time. This seals the cuticle and eliminates any remaining frizz.
Pro Tips for Sleek Results
Less is more: One slow pass is better than multiple quick ones
Watch the ends: When you reach the ends, slightly rotate the brush outward for a subtle bend (prevents the flat, 'fried' look)
Ionic advantage: The Yokubō's ionic technology neutralises static as you work, that's why you get glass-like smoothness
For humidity resistance: Apply a small amount of anti-frizz serum to damp hair before styling
The Result
Glossy, pin-straight hair with no frizz, sophisticated and polished. Perfect for professional settings or when you want a sleek, modern look.
Style 3: Bouncy, Defined Curls
Time: 20-25 minutes | Difficulty: Medium | Best for: Medium to long hair
What You'll Need
Spiral curler attachments (left and right barrels)
Heat setting: 80°C (fine hair) or 100°C (thick hair)
Heat-resistant glove (included)
Optional: Curl-defining cream
The Technique
Step 1: Dry First
Unlike the previous styles, curls work best on completely dry hair. Use the blower attachment first to rough-dry your hair to about 90-95% dry. Slightly damp is fine, but not wet. Gently comb through hair to remove any tangles for smother results.
Step 2: Prep for Curls
Put on your heat-resistant glove. Divide hair into sections, smaller sections create tighter curls, larger sections create looser waves. For natural-looking curls, vary your section sizes.
Step 3: Master the Wrap
This is where the left and right curlers matter. For the left side of your head, use the left curler; for the right side, use the right curler. This ensures curls spiral away from your face for a flattering frame.
Take a section, hold it taut, and wrap it around the barrel from root to tip. Hold for 8-12 seconds as the heat set the curl.
Step 4: Release Gently
Let the curl slide off the barrel into your palm. Don't touch it yet, let it cool in your hand for 3-5 seconds, then gently place it down. This sets the curl pattern. Alternatively, you can also gently pin the curls up to cool while doing the rest of your hair.
Step 5: Separate and Style
Gently separate curls with your fingers (not a brush) for volume and movement. You can also gently use your finger to comb through a serum or oil if desired.
Pro Tips for Beautiful Curls
Direction matters: Alternate curl directions (some toward your face, some away) for a more natural, lived-in look
Don't over-twist: Wrap smoothly without twisting the hair strand itself, twisting creates kinks
For volume: Curl sections away from your scalp at the roots
Refresh trick: On day two, mist with water and re-curl just the front sections for a fresh look
The Result
Defined, bouncy curls with staying power. Romantic and voluminous without looking overdone.
Style 4: Effortless Beach Waves
Time: 15-20 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Best for: Medium to long hair, all textures
What You'll Need
Spiral curler attachments OR blowout brush (both work!)
Heat setting: 80°C for most hair types
Optional: Sea salt spray or texturizing spray
The Technique
Step 1: Rough Dry
Start with damp hair and use the blower attachment to dry to about 80%. You want hair mostly dry but not completely, slight dampness helps create that undone texture. Then gently comb through the hair to remove any tangles for smooth results.
Step 2: Choose Your Method
Method A (Curlers): Take large, random sections and wrap them loosely around the spiral curler. Hold for only 6-8 seconds, you want waves, not tight curls. Always finish with a cold shot to set them. Alternate directions randomly.
Method B (Blowout Brush): Take sections and twist them loosely, then run the blowout brush down the twisted section. This creates natural bends and movement.
Step 3: Break the Rules
For authentic beach waves, don't be too precise. Vary your section sizes, skip a few sections entirely, and don't worry about perfection. The goal is "I woke up like this" texture.
Step 4: Texturize
While hair is still slightly warm, spray with sea salt or texturizing spray. Scrunch with your hands to encourage the wave pattern.
Step 5: Cool and Tousle
Use the cold air trigger while scrunching your hair with your free hand. This sets the waves while maintaining that piecey, textured finish.
Pro Tips for Perfect Beach Waves
Less polished = more authentic: Skip the front sections closest to your part for a natural look
Layer your texture: Apply texturizing spray both before and after styling for maximum hold
Second-day magic: Beach waves actually look better on day two, sleep on them loosely braided
For fine hair: Use lower heat and smaller sections to prevent flat, limp waves
The Result
Effortlessly cool, tousled waves that look like you spent the day at the beach. Casual yet put-together.
Style 5: Root Lift & Volume Boost (for Second Day Hair)
Time: 5-10 minutes | Difficulty: Very Easy | Best for: All hair types
What You'll Need
Blowout brush attachment
Heat setting: 50-80°C (you don't need high heat for this)
Optional: Dry shampoo
The Technique
Step 1: Target Problem Areas
This isn't a full restyle, it's a refresh. Identify where your hair has gone flat: usually the crown and around your part.
Step 2: Dry Shampoo First
Spray dry shampoo at the roots where you need volume. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to absorb oil and create grip.
Step 3: Lift at the Root
Attach the blowout brush on a low heat setting. Position it underneath sections at the root zone, lift upward, and hold for 5-10 seconds. You're not drying, you're reactivating volume.
Step 4: Cool Set
Use the cold air trigger while still holding the brush under the roots. This locks in the lift you just created.
Step 5: Flip and Finish
Flip your head upside down and blast the roots with cool air for 30 seconds. Flip back up and tousle with your fingers.
Pro Tips for Quick Volume
Don't overdo it: This technique works best with minimal heat, you're refreshing, not restyling
Focus on the crown: That's where flatness is most noticeable
For extra lift: Clip sections up while they're still warm from the brush, leave for 5 minutes, then release
Protect your ends: Since you're only working on roots, your ends stay healthy and don't get over-styled
The Result
Revived volume and body that extends your style another day or two. Perfect for busy mornings when you don't have time to start from scratch. This quick refresh takes a day-old style back to day-one freshness.
Your Hair Type, Your Way
Fine Hair
Use lower temperatures (50-80°C) across all styles
Work in smaller sections for better control
The blowout and volume boost techniques are your best friends
Avoid heavy products that weigh hair down
Thick or Coarse Hair
Embrace the full 100°C heat setting
Rough-dry with the blower attachment first to speed up the process
Take larger sections, you'll still get great results
The straightening brush is a gamechanger for managing volume
Curly Hair
Start with the straightening brush for sleek looks
Use the spiral curlers to enhance and define your natural curl pattern
Always work on sections that are at least 80% dry
The ionic technology helps control frizz without fighting your texture
Damaged Hair
Stick to 50-80°C maximum
Use a heat protectant spray before every style
The wet-to-dry approach is gentler than blow-drying then styling separately
End every style with the cold air trigger to seal the cuticle
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Starting Too Wet: Towel-dry thoroughly first. Hair should be damp, not dripping.
Tangled or Knotty Hair: A wide tooth comb is your best friend to prep your hair no matter what style, it reduces friction and potential damage.
Using Too Much Heat: More heat doesn't mean better results, it means more damage. Start lower and increase only if needed.
Skipping the Cool Shot: The cold air trigger isn't optional, it's what makes styles last.
Working Too Fast: Patience pays off. One slow pass beats three rushed ones.
Forgetting to Section: Random styling takes longer and gives uneven results. Three minutes of sectioning saves ten minutes of frustration.
Making Your Styles Last
Invest in Silk: A silk or satin pillowcase reduces friction while you sleep, keeping styles intact longer.
Smart Products: Use lightweight products that won't weigh hair down or make it greasy by day two.
Strategic Washing: The Yokubō Deluxe Airstyler creates styles that last 2-3 days. Embrace it, you don't need to wash daily.
Quick Refreshes: Keep the airstyler handy for 5-minute touch-ups. The root lift technique (Style 5) extends any look.
