Styling trends come and go, but bouncy, voluminous blowouts are here to stay. You’ve mastered the elusive art of the blowout, with its sky-high volume and soft, bouncy curls. Your clients ask for it over and over again—and now, there’s a fast, easy, foolproof way to help them achieve the same look at home. Here, T3 Senior Education Manager Sarah Williams walks us through the easiest way to achieve enviable, long-lasting blowout curls using the T3 Aire 360.

Launched in late June 2024, the T3 Aire 360 blowout kit is the first ceramic air styler to make its way onto the market. This air styler features the gentle-yet-effective airflow you know from T3, with a ceramic-coated oval brush and curling attachments designed to bring you and your clients smooth, glossy results and long-lasting blowout curls.   

Maybe you’re looking to speed things up behind the chair—or maybe you want to teach your clients how to nail their blowout look between appointments. T3’s newest air styler is the solution to all of the above. Read on as Sarah shows us how to get soft, bouncy blowout curls in this step-by-step breakdown. 

Step 1: Prep the hair for styling 

To prep for styling, apply your preferred styling products onto damp hair and use the SoftAire® drying concentrator until the hair is 80% to 90% dry. 

Step 2: Create a smooth base 

If you’re working with curly or wavy hair, begin by sectioning the hair and connect the oval brush attachment. Then, work in 2- to 3-inch sections to create a smooth base.

Step 3: Add volume 

Next, connect the curling attachment (left or right) to curl toward or away from the face, depending on your desired look.   

Step 4: Create your first curl 

Hold the ends of a 1- to 2-inch section of hair, about an inch above the curling barrel. Allow the air to grip the hair and wind it across the barrel. 

Step 5: Activate the cool shot button 

Hold until the section is dry, then activate the cool shot button and hold for another five to 10 seconds before releasing. 

Step 6: Repeat the process 

Next, continue using this same process to create the rest of your curls, tousle lightly, and your look is complete.
