OnePlus 3 is very easy to root: official TWRP version released
Of course, if you have never rooted your phone before, proceed with caution and if you're not sure what you need root for and would rather not deal with terminals, you probably should not root your device.
Let us recap the process of how to root the OnePlus 3. You first start, by unlocking developer options and allowing OEM unlocks and USB debugging. Then, you simply write down the following line "fastboot devices" and then "fastboot oem unlock" in the command line / terminal.
Then, you can proceed with flashing recovery by installing TWRP on your OnePlus 3 and hitting the big install button in the TWRP app. Once you do all this, your phone should be rooted and ready for all your experiments with it.
