Vogue Tests Best Multi-Styler Hair Tools: Dyson, Shark, T3, BaBylissPRO, Wavytalk
Vogue's beauty editors tested five leading multi-styler hair tools, evaluating them on materials, heat settings, attachment variety, and styling results. The Dyson Airwrap Coanda 2x ($750) uses airflow technology to reduce heat damage and offers the fastest drying time. The BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium StyleSwitch ($250) provides five attachments and even heat distribution via microscopic titanium particles. The Shark Beauty FlexStyle ($350) features a flexible base that twists into an L-shaped dryer and measures temperature 1,000 times per second. The Wavytalk Multi Curl 5-in-1 Curling Wand Set ($69) heats up in 30 seconds and has over 8,000 five-star Amazon reviews. The T3 Aire 360 Ceramic Air Styler Blowout Kit ($350) offers strong airflow and ceramic barrels for shine and frizz reduction. Celebrity hairstylists Ruslan Nureev, Courtney Housner, Samantha Draper, Sky Kim, and Yusef provided expert insights. Editors noted that ceramic attachments distribute heat more evenly than plastic, and that hair should be 85% rough-dried before styling to prevent damage.
