T3 Aire 360 Ceramic Air Styler vs Shark FlexStyle HD442JR

The Shark FlexStyle is the more versatile pick: it converts into a full hair dryer and includes auto-wrap curlers, a smoothing brush and a diffuser, and its 4.4 rating from about 1,500 owners backs up the claims about fast drying and easy attachment changes. The T3 Aire 360 is the more focused tool, built around ceramic heat and two curling barrels for thick or very long hair, with a lighter body and a longer swivel cord. Build quality is close on both, but the Shark gives you more styling jobs in one device while the T3 gives you a simpler, more controlled blowout.

• Choose the T3 Aire 360 if you mainly want smooth blowouts and defined curls on thick or very long hair and prefer a lighter styler with a long swivel cord.
• Choose the Shark FlexStyle if you want one tool that dries, curls, smooths and volumizes, and you value auto-wrap curlers and a diffuser for wavy, curly or coily hair.
