Which is better for curly hair?

Both include a diffuser. The Dyson adds a wide-tooth comb and flyaway attachment, which helps on coily and frizz-prone hair. The T3's smart heat control also suits curl drying at home.

The Dyson HD11 PRO is the professional edition, with a heavy-duty washable filter, a spare filter and a build rated for salon use. The T3 is a home dryer with auto shut-off but no heavy-duty filter.

Can I take either one abroad?

The T3 is auto dual voltage, so it adapts to 120V and other voltages. The Dyson HD11 PRO is 127V only and not dual voltage, so it needs a converter or should stay home.

Is the Dyson worth the extra over the T3?

For daily salon or gym use, yes: the longer cord, heavy-duty filter and five attachments matter. For one person at home, the T3 covers drying and diffusing at a lower price.

The T3 runs 1875W with a Quick Dry attachment and smart airflow. The Dyson runs 1700W but claims fast drying with even heat. Neither lists a dry-time figure, so wattage alone does not settle it.

Which has more heat settings?

The T3 has 5 temperature settings plus infinite heat control. The Dyson has 4 heat and 3 speed settings with a 100°C maximum.
