Multi-stylers may be all about the convenience of an all-in-one tool, but their storage solutions are often bulky (even in the case of the Airwrap). With the T3 Aire 360, T3 succeeded in not only making a multi-styler that performs very similarly to the Shark FlexStyle but also offers a smart storage solution.
The vegan leather storage case is pretty enough not to hide away, small enough if you do want to chuck it under your bathroom sink, and makes organizing your attachments easy. If you want a multi-styler but aren’t sure if you have the space, T3 is likely to be your best option (and the most underrated Airwrap dupe on the market).

T3 has been a name in the hair space for some time, thanks to its ever-popular curling and straightening irons, known to perform well and last forever. It felt only inevitable until the brand hopped on the multi-styler train, and it’s done exactly that with plenty of grace.
With more and more dupes coming out, the gaps to fill are becoming fewer and fewer, but T3 correctly identified that the storage gap was wide open. Before I get more into that, yes, the tool performs very well. Like any other multi-styler that isn’t the Dyson Airwrap, you have to switch curling barrels for different curling directions, but the curls this tool produced were full and neater than I’d come to expect with testing multi-stylers. They also lasted more as a true loose curl than straightening out to a loose wave, as I’d experienced with the FlexStyle and Airwrap, thanks to the ceramic barrels.
Styling time was on par with the FlexStyle; the tool maxed out at 203 degrees Fahrenheit to keep things healthy, and the round brush was easy to brush through my hair without snagging, with a size that was perfect for offering plenty of volume. This tool is also incredibly light, clocking in at 1.2 pounds, as compared with the FlexStyle and Airwrap, which both sit around 1.5 pounds.
Now, please allow me to gush about the storage case. The FlexStyle doesn’t come with a case in its base kits. The Airwrap’s case is an organized, but massive brick that is too big for me to want to actually use regularly. T3 hit the perfect happy medium with a leather pouch — it feels luxe but functional, with interior pockets so everything has its place, and the drawstring closure keeps your product out of sight. It’s not an eyesore at all, so I happily kept it out in my room, making it easy to reach for and store.
My main gripe with this tool is that the attachment options are limited, but if you’re looking for a fairly curated multi-styler experience, this might be a bonus for you. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we see some more variety in this area from T3 in the future. For now, I can say the T3 Aire 360 offers the best basic multi-styler experience.
