After extensively testing out T3’s recently released Aire 360 multi-styler across several months, we can confidently say that it’s our new alternative to the Airwrap. We love the ceramic coating on the curling attachments and brush, and we’ve noticed that our styles last for days with the help of heat protectant spray before and flexible-hold hair spray after. (The brand was among celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel’s Red Carpet Essentials of 2025, star hairstylist Kellon Deryck used T3’s tools to create Megan Thee Stallion’s Coachella curls and hair pro Tai Simon styled Zendaya’s retro waves at the 2024 Oscars using T3’s hot rollers. (The company has also scored the approval of Hollywood tress experts Renato Campora, Laura Polko and Mara Roszak.)

The T3 Aire 360 multi-styler has a lightweight, slim base that feels comfortable to hold and maneuver. It comes with four attachments: a gloss-giving oval brush, two ceramic 1.35-in. curling barrels (one left and one right) and a SoftAire concentrator. Designed to leave hair glossy and without heat damage, the multi-tool air styler has three heat and speed settings (up to 237 degrees Fahrenheit) and is equipped with a smart microchip to distribute precise, digitally controlled heat.

Hollywood hairstylist Chris Appleton is an ambassador of Shark’s FlexStyle Air Styling and Drying System, which has quickly become a direct Dyson Airwrap competitor. In our experience, it’s noticeably heavier than Dyson’s tool and doesn’t offer the same Coanda hair-wrapping effect (which helps deliver tighter, smoother curls and styling), but is still comparable in getting the job done in record time and on a budget.

The set comes in two system options based on your hair type, plus a bonus build-your-own system if you want to mix accessories. The Straight and Wavy system features two 1.25-in. auto-wrap curlers, one oval brush, one concentrator and one paddle brush, while the Curly and Coily system comes with all of those accessories, except the paddle brush is swapped for a curl-defining diffuser.

Over 26,000 shoppers have spoken, and they’re reaching for Chi’s Spin N Curl tool to recreate salon-quality curls and waves like Gisele Bündchen in her Victoria’s Secret Angel era. One unique detail that sets this styler apart is its design: hair is inserted into the opening of the curl chamber rather than wrapped around the tool, making it kinder to your wrists.

Reviewers recommend this tool for short to medium-length hair, as those with longer hair may have a difficult time dealing with the curl chamber’s strand limitations. (It will beep if you put too much hair in at once.)

Given that our hairstyles change with our moods, L’Ange’s Le Duo 360 Airflow Styler makes it easy to switch from a smooth and sleek look to a bouncy curls moment. (It also comes in a Grande size for longer hair.)

Favorite features include floating titanium plates with rounded edges for even heat distribution and none of the creasing and snagging we’ve all experienced while attempting waves with a basic flat iron. This styler also includes a built-in fan and 360-degree vented airflow to instantly cool hair on contact, locking in your shiny, frizz-free style. It has five temperature settings from 280°F to 430°F and a built-in clip to easily secure and style hair, and the dual voltage makes it great for traveling.
