While few hairstyles beat Halle Berry’s iconic pixie cut, we also love the long, bouncy blowouts mastered by Gisele Bündchen, Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé. Additional voluminous hair icons include Jane Fonda in Barbarella (Sydney Sweeney will star in the remake of the 1968 cult sci-fi film) and — more recently — Gen Z muse Matilda Djerf. One thing all of these women have in common is that they’ve inspired dozens of fans to attempt their legendary looks at home with the help of hair styling tools.

BEST OVERALL
T3 Aire 360 Multi-Styler & Blowout System
$225.14 $299.99 25% off
After extensively testing out T3’s recently released Aire 360 multi-styler across several months, we can confidently say 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.

BEST Value
Shark FlexStyle Air Styling and Drying System
$249 $349.99 29% off
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.

BEST Blow Dryer Brush
Drybar Reserve 3-in-1 Interchangeable Blow Dryer
Celebrity hairstylist Bryce Scarlett (who works with Hailey Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, Margot Robbie and more) is an ambassador for Drybar, which is known for making Hollywood blowouts accessible to all. The brand’s Reserve 3-in-1 Interchangeable Blow Dryer features an ultralight, ergonomic design and three interchangeable attachments — an oval brush, paddle brush and concentrator — to help you achieve long-lasting waves at your leisure.
BEST FOR CURLY AND COILY HAIR
Pattern Blow Dryer
Approved by Oprah Winfrey, Tracee Ellis Ross-founded hair care brand Pattern’s blow dryer is one of the best for curly, coily and tight-textured hair. It comes with four attachments (a diffuser, brush, wide tooth comb and concentrator nozzle) specifically designed to shape, define and stretch textured hair. The dryer features an ion generator “to smooth the cuticle to enhance natural curls,” while AC motor heps to cut down on dry time.
Amazon
BEST Blow dry Brush UNDER $50
Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus 2.0 Hair Dryer and Hot Air Brush
$28.31 $69.99 60% off
$29.49 $70 58% off
$39.11 $69.99 44% off
With over 430,000 positive ratings of four stars or more, Revlon’s One-Step Volumizer Plus 2.0 Hair Dryer styler is one of the best affordable Dyson Airwrap alternatives — and it’s on sale for 56 percent off during Prime Day. It offers a versatile 2.4-in. head size that helps create a range of styling options, from flips to soft waves.

Amazon
BEST CURLER
Chi Spin N Curl
$67.91 $119.89 43% off
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.)
BEST BUDGET
InfinitiPro by Conair DigitalAire Multi Hair Styler
$96.99 $129.99 25% off
The big selling point for Conair’s InfinitiPro DigitalAire is the ceramic-coated attachments that help lock in curls and waves without damaging your hair. It includes a curler, 1.25″ round brush, paddle brush and a drying nozzle, plus a handy storage bag.
Best Travel-Friendly Curler
L’Ange Le Duo Flex 360 Airflow Titanium Styler
$48.30 $119 59% off
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.
Most compact
Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex Hair Dryer
$199 $249.99 20% off
One more innovative Shark tool, this time the powerful SpeedStyle Pro Flex hair dryer, which conveniently folds for easy storage and traveling. The company says the device’s dual optical sensors can automatically recognize styles and intelligently regulate heat and airflow up to 1,000 per second. Ideal for those on the go, Fans are most impressed with its high-velocity heated air and ionized air output, which delivers ultra-fast drying with no heat damage. This kit also includes a Scalp Shield attachment to ensure your skin and roots aren’t damaged while drying and a turbo concentrator that rotates 360 degrees.
