Our team tests dozens of beauty products each month. Here are the three standout launches that impressed our testers this week.
T3 Aire 360 Ceramic Air Styler Blowout Kit with Dual Voltage
What it is: A versatile hairstyling tool with multiple attachments for blow-drying, smoothing, and curling. Suitable for straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair types, it features T3 Aire 360 Technology for enhanced airflow and ceramic curling attachments that reduce heat damage and deliver a frizz-free finish.
Our tester's verdict: This tool is user-friendly and efficient. The blowout brush attachment allowed our tester to achieve a bouncy blow-dry in surprisingly little time. The ceramic curling attachments require some practice, but with proper technique, she mastered quick, sleek, and shiny curls.
Price: $499 at Sephora
L'Oreal Paris Hair Expertise Glycolic Gloss Shine Leave-In Serum
What it is: A leave-in serum formulated with a 17% Glycolic Acid Gloss Complex to seal the hair cuticle and create a lasting glossy effect. It promises two times more shine, 88% smoother strands, and 75% less frizz for up to 10 washes.
Our tester's verdict: Less frizz and more shine? Sign us up. Our tester applied two pumps to post-shower hair and followed with heat styling. The serum has a pleasant scent, is easy to distribute, and doesn't weigh hair down. After use, her hair appeared noticeably shinier and less frizzy, even on a rainy day.
Price: $8.98-$13 at Amazon.ca and Shoppers Drug Mart
Shark SilkiPro Straight Wet to Dry Straightener + Rapid Blow Dryer
What it is: A multipurpose tool that dries and straightens hair from wet to dry. It combines a blow dryer with a straightener, featuring ceramic hot plates for smoothing and RapidDry high-velocity airflow.
Our tester's verdict: Initially skeptical, our tester was pleasantly surprised. Using the longer comb attachment, she rough-dried her wet hair. The device automatically adjusts heat in wet/dry mode to prevent sizzling. She switched to the dry/straighten setting and, working in small sections, easily went from damp to straight and smooth. A significant time saver.
