T3 Aire 360 ​​Air Styler Blowout Kit review: Powerful and high-end

You might be done after this step, but I like to add curls – whether I’m flat-ironing or doing it this way, my hair looks a little better with a little wavy so the crispy ends don’t take away the attention. With a wand like Dyson’s or a similarly impressive wand Shark FlexstyleThe T3 wraps your hair around the curler and holds it in place with air flow, no clamps needed. One thing to note, though, is that the Dyson has gone from needing two curling wands to go in each direction to only needing one, with a switch at the top to change direction. So far, the Shark and T3 still require two.

The first thing I noticed upon unboxing the Aire 360 ​​was how much nicer its texture is than other wands I’ve tried. They’re ceramic instead of plastic, so they’re sturdier, but also distribute heat evenly. There are three heat settings (and three speeds), and this one gets hotter than the others, reaching 237 degrees Fahrenheit. You can’t touch these barrels directly, but there are cool tips on top so you can still take them off and switch between attachments. I liked that there isn’t a separate cold-shot button on the handle. Instead, you just press the heat button longer, though I felt that wasn’t as cool as hair tools typically do.

While it’s hot, it’s still much lower than the temperature I need from a traditional curling iron, which I usually turn up to 400 degrees or more. It’s hot air, but it’s not a super hot plate, which means you’re not burning your hair. While I wasn’t prepared to confirm this with my own hair, I can’t imagine you would. Accidentally burned a piece of hair If you’ve left it for too long.

At around the same price as the Shark Flexstyle, you get fewer attachments. You can choose Different brushes, wide tooth comb, diffuser and concentrator for drying, frizz smoother and two different thickness wands. This is a perfect tool in my opinion because I can just buy this and diffuse curls on days when I wear them natural or blow them out on other days. However, depending on your hair type and needs, all these attachments might be more than necessary. If that is the case, I would go for the T3 which looks and feels better.
