However, if you typically like to create smoother styles, theT3 Aireluxe Hair Dryeris hard to beat.
I was also looking for a hair dryer upgrade and was doubly invested.
I evaluated each one on ease of use, attachments, performance, resulting look, and value.

That is not the case whatsoever.
Like most T3 models, the Aire IQ is incredibly lightweight and easy to maneuver.
It comes in this gorgeous terracotta color that would elevate any vanity.

It has so many great attachments for curly hair in one box.
The drier also uses ionic technology to help keep frizz andflyawaysto a minimum and shine to a maximum.
It dried my hair completely in about 10 minutes, which isreallygood considering how thick my hair is.

This ones definitely a keeper.
Thats the Babyliss Nano in a nutshell.
It has a strong, even airflow that never felt like it overwhelmed mycurl pattern.
I liked that it worked with a universaldiffuserand came with concentrator attachments for blowouts.
It was easy to adjust the configs (theyre all on the handle).
It dried my hair relatively quickly and didn’t create much frizz or flyaways.

I love the tweaks on the handleyou have five temp tweaks and three airflow speeds.
The dryer comes with two different-sized concentrators designed to target the airflow so you get the smoothest sections.
It’s lightweight and dries hair relatively quickly (I got a fullblowoutdone in 20 minutes).
Other than that, it produced a gorgeous blowout with tons of shine.
Its technology is just a step above the rest.
Despite the powerful airflow, the dryer is still super lightweight and quiet.

The controls are user-friendly (low to high temp and low to high airflow toggles).
There’s also a handy cold shot button on the handle to seal styles.
It dried decently fast as well.
Thats what the SpeedStyle offers and then some.
