The New T3 Aire 360: An All-In-One Tool For Streamlined Styling
T3 is a stylist-favorite haircare brand known for its sleek, efficient tools that produce professional results whether you’re going for glossy curls or a stick-straight look. The newest addition to the brand’s lineup is the Aire 360 multi-styler, which aims to consolidate multiple styling tools into one comprehensive set (similarly to the Dyson Airwrap). It’s equipped with four attachments for drying and styling: a concentrated drying nozzle, two CeraGloss ceramic curling attachments for creating waves and one round brush head. All in all, the kit retails for $300, so it’s priced somewhere in the middle between the Airwrap and the budget-friendly Conair InfinitiPro Styling System.

Like the air stylers that have come before it, the Aire 360 base relies on a powerful yet quiet motor that propels hot air through the various attachments, heating them up quickly without exposing your hair to excessively high temperatures. T3 caps its heat settings at a safer-for-hair 237 degrees Fahrenheit.
The brand’s CeraGloss ceramic barrels on the curling and oval brush attachments are designed to lock in shine and smooth frizz, while also coming to temp quickly and maintaining their heat. To keep you from singeing your fingers, the attachments also feature a cool tip that allows you to quickly swap them out while styling without waiting for the barrels to cool down. Similar to other stylers on the market, there are also three heat and speed settings to choose from, plus a cool shot to seal in your style.
To get started, use the SoftAire Concentrator to dry your strands until slightly damp, then switch to the oval brush or curling attachments to style and complete your look. The brush lifts and smooths hair for a voluminous, professional-quality blowout, while the two curling attachments rotate in opposite directions for natural-looking, bouncy waves or curls. The air from the barrel allows it to automatically grip the ends of your hair and wind it across the surface, so it takes minimal effort to create a head full of waves.
If you’ve been coveting the Dyson Airwrap, this one’s about half the price and with many comparable features. It has a streamlined base with a 360-degree swivel cord, and the whole thing stores easily in the vegan leather tote it comes in. It’s an excellent option for those who prioritize drying and styling their hair quickly, efficiently and with minimal potential heat damage. And just imagine how much cabinet space you’ll free up in your vanity.
