The Dyson Airwrap multi-styler is one of the most in-demand hair tools and holiday gifts of 2023. What’s even more impressive is that it was also a top gift last year, and has sold out consistently over the last few years. Beauty trends tend to come and go quickly, but the Airwrap is a top-rated product that has remained popular and highly sought-after for a while. 

The bestselling hair tool does come with a hefty price tag, but don’t worry — the experts at CBS Essentials have found an incredible holiday deal on the Dyson Airwrap.

The Dyson Airwrap multi-styler is the ultimate hair tool. It’s got a bunch of versatile attachments designed to help you create all sorts of hairstyles. It’s a great Christmas gift option for the beauty and haircare fan in your life, no matter if they have short or long locks.

“It somehow magically wraps your hair around the wand so you don’t have to,” says one Amazon reviewer. “It creates the perfect, flowy, slightly irregular, natural looking curls.”

The top-rated Dyson AirWrap rarely goes on sale, even during peak sales events like Amazon Prime Day or Black Friday. However, right now, you can get the popular styling tool at Dyson at a deep discount before the holidays. Regularly $600, you can get it for $500 at Dyson now.


What’s so special about the Dyson Airwrap hair styler?

The Dyson Airwrap styler is designed to help you dry and style your hair with minimal heat. It has grown popular thanks to its ease of use, versatile styling options and ability to style hair while minimizing heat damage.

In March 2022, the styler was revamped into the Dyson Airwrap styler complete. The new version of the Dyson Airwrap, the Dyson Airwrap styler complete, has a couple of notable improvements over the original. The curler attachment has been updated to accommodate clockwise and counterclockwise curling. It also includes a new flyaway-reducing tool that smooths hair.

These 14 House seats are still undecided, with 2024 results outstanding a week after Election Day

Washington — It’s one week after Election Day 2024, and while control of the White House and the Senate have been decided, in a handful of races for the U.S. House of Representatives, the results are still outstanding, and their outcomes will determine Republicans’ margins in the lower chamber.

With President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential race and Republicans poised to control at least 52 seats in the Senate, the GOP is heading toward full control of Washington. CBS News characterizes control of the House as lean Republican, with the party now just three seats shy of the 218 needed to win the majority. 

Most of the undecided House races are in California, where state law requires mail ballots to be postmarked by Election Day and received by county elections offices up to seven days after the election, so many are still being counted.

As votes continue to be tallied in seven states where the winners of congressional races have not yet been projected, Congress has returned to Washington for the first time in weeks, and Republicans are moving forward with leadership elections. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise are expected to maintain their positions atop the Republican conference, but Trump’s selection of conference chair Rep. Elise Stefanik for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations has created an open seat in GOP leadership.

Here are the outstanding House races as of Tuesday, Nov. 12: 

Alaska at-large 

Republican Nick Begich leads incumbent Rep. Mary Peltola, a Democrat, by more than 10,000 votes, with 71% of the estimated vote total reported.

If Begich defeats Peltola, it would be a GOP pick-up in the House. Alaska uses ranked-choice voting, so voters select multiple candidates and rank them in order of preference. 

Unless a candidate earns more than 50% of the first-choice vote, the one with the fewest first-choice votes will be eliminated, and voters’ second picks are reallocated to the remaining candidates. In the third round, the candidate who receives the next fewest votes is eliminated and their votes reallocated to the remaining contenders. The process continues until a candidate reaches 50%.

Arizona’s 6th Congressional District

Incumbent Rep. Juan Ciscomani, a Republican, is leading Democratic opponent Kirsten Engel by 4,900 votes, with 86% of votes in. CBS News estimates the race is a toss-up.

California’s 9th Congressional District

CBS News characterizes the race as lean Democrat, with incumbent Rep. Josh Harder, a Democrat, ahead of his Republican opponent Kevin Lincoln by more than 7,000 votes, with 71% of the estimated vote total reported so far.

California’s 13th Congressional District

Freshman GOP Rep. John Duarte leads Democratic challenger Adam Gray by nearly 3,000 votes, with 57% of votes in.

The two faced off in 2022, when Gray lost by less than 600 votes.

California’s 21st Congressional District

CBS News characterizes the race between Rep. Jim Costa, the Democrat incumbent, and Republican Michael Maher as lean Costa. The congressman leads by just over 1,300 votes, and 64% of the estimated vote total has been reported so far.

California’s 22nd Congressional District

Republican Rep. David Valadao is leading Democrat challenger Rudy Salas by 9,500 votes, with 71% of the vote in. Valadao is one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Of those 10 lawmakers, only Valadao and Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington are still in Congress. Newhouse is projected to win reelection.

California’s 41st Congressional District

CBS News characterizes the race as lean Republican incumbent Rep. Ken Calvert, who has served in the House for more than 30 years. Calvert leads his Democratic opponent, Will Rollins, by more than 7,500 votes, with 81% of the estimated vote total reported so far.

California’s 45th Congressional District

In this race between GOP incumbent Rep. Michelle Steel and Democrat Derek Tran, Steel is ahead by 3,900 votes with 84% of the vote in. CBS News characterizes the race as a toss-up. Steel is in her second term in the House and is one of the first Korean-American women to serve in Congress.

California’s 47th Congressional District

Democratic Rep. Katie Porter currently holds this seat, but her unsuccessful bid for the Senate set up a race between Democrat David Min and Republican Scott Baugh to succeed her. 

CBS News characterizes the race as lean Min, meaning it’s likely to stay in Democrats’ hands. With 84% of the estimated vote total reported, Min is ahead by more than 3,200 votes.

California’s 49th Congressional District 

CBS News characterizes the contest between Democratic Rep. Mike Levin and Republican Matt Gunderson as lean Levin. The Democratic incumbent is ahead of his GOP challenger by 14,000 votes, with 84% of the vote in.

Iowa’s 1st Congressional District

The race between Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Democrat Christina Bohannan is a rematch of the 2022 contest. The 2024 election is shaping up to be close, with Miller-Meeks currently leading by 796 votes in this race that CBS News characterizes as a toss-up.

Maine’s 2nd Congressional District

Democratic Rep. Jared Golden is facing Republican Austin Theriault in a district that supported Trump in 2016 and 2020. The Democratic incumbent is ahead by more than 2,100 votes, with 99% of votes in, and CBS News characterizes the race as leaning Golden.

Maine, like Alaska, uses ranked-choice voting, and because neither candidate secured at least 50% of the vote, Secretary of State Shenna Bellows announced it will be decided by a ranked-choice runoff. The second round of tabulation is starting this week in Augusta, the state capital, she said.

Ohio’s 9th Congressional District 

Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur is working to keep control of her seat in the race against Republican challenger Derek Merrin. CBS News characterizes the race as a toss-up. Kaptur is leading Merrin by more than 1,100 votes, with 94% of the estimated vote total reported.

Oregon’s 5th Congressional District

Republican incumbent Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who is in her first term, is facing off against Democrat Janelle Bynum, who is currently ahead by more than 10,000 votes. CBS News characterizes the race as leaning Bynum, and 88% of the estimated vote total has been reported.

Russia lawmakers pass bill banning “child-free propaganda”

Moscow — Russian lawmakers on Tuesday passed controversial legislation banning “propaganda” that urges people to opt against having children, the latest measure targeting what Moscow depicts as Western liberal ideas. Facing an ageing population and low birth rates, Moscow is seeking to reverse a demographic slump — accentuated by its ongoing full-scale invasion of neighboring Ukraine — that threatens its economic future.

Members of the Russian parliament’s lower house, the Duma, voted unanimously in favor of the draft bill, which would apply to materials online, in media, advertising and in films that promote a “rejection of childbearing.”

The bill targets “destructive content” that promotes a “conscious” rejection of having children.

The bill’s authors have said it will not be used as punishment for “a personal choice or lifestyle” but only for promoting such a lifestyle, although it is unclear how this would be differentiated in practice.

Under the ban on “child-free propaganda,” violations would be punishable by fines up to 400,000 rubles (about $4,000) on individuals and up to 5 million rubles, or about $51,000, for businesses. The bill also includes a provision to deport foreigners found guilty of disseminating the banned information.

“This is a fateful law… Without children, there will be no country. This ideology will lead to people stopping giving birth to children,” the Duma’s speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said ahead of the vote.

He also said the legislation was about “protecting citizens, primarily the generation growing up, from information spread in the media space that negatively affects the development of personality.”

The effort was “so new generations of our citizens grow up orientated towards traditional family values”, he said.

Nina Ostanina, a Communist Party lawmaker who heads the Duma committee on family policy, said the bill aims to “guard our youth from unnecessary ideologies.”

The legislation will now be considered by the upper house of parliament on November 20, before coming before President Vladimir Putin, who is expected to sign it into law.

It comes on top of existing bans on “propaganda” of LGBTQ relationships or changing gender.

The Duma also unanimously passed legislation Tuesday banning foreigners living in countries that allow gender reassignment from adopting Russian children. The bill is aimed at stopping Russian-born children being able to legally change their gender.

Moscow has long portrayed itself as a bulwark against liberal values, but that trend has hugely accelerated since the Kremlin launched its Ukraine offensive, further rupturing ties with the West.

The bill would ban adoption by citizens of countries that authorize “the change of sex by medical intervention, including with the use of medicine,” or allow individuals to change their gender on official identity documents.

Since 1993, foreigners have adopted 102,403 children from Russia, Volodin said, warning that “Western policy towards children is destructive.”

Russia previously banned all U.S. adoptions in 2012 with a bill named after a Russian toddler who died of heat stroke in 2008 after his adoptive American father forgot him in a car.

Russia has created an inhospitable environment for LBGTQ people for years. In July 2023, it banned the “international LGBT movement” as extremist and made gender reassignment illegal.

Putin himself has repeatedly mocked people who have undergone gender reassignment as well as LGBTQ people.
