Customer Review: Greatest Flat Iron Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't ever write reviews, but I had to here! I have used many flat irons over the years, this one is the absolute best. A friend loaned me hers and I had to have one. A good thing after reading the many reviews here, they would have probably scared me off. I have very thin hair, but soooo much of it that it looks really thick. It is VERY wavy, without being curly at all, so I have to either flat iron it or curl it or it won't look done. Curling is a bad idea, for not only is it very drying but it doesn't hold very well in my hair, falling to waves again in less than an hour (even in the winter). Flat Ironing works much better.
Okay, so I know the routine of patience, pull the flat iron slowly, use a heat protecting pretreatment, and all that, but with other irons (including a Chi), they just didn't make it look like my stylist makes it look. Which I knew meant that it had to be the iron, for I was using the same products that she was. Her flat iron runs about $600, great for her in her line of work, much too costly for my budget, there just simply has to be a better solution than that.
By the way, my stylist said, "NEVER EVER put any hot styling tool to your hair unless it is absolutely positively dry, or you will ruin your hair over time, causing it to break and split, so I always either use a blow dryer or let my hair air dry (often overnight) before using a hot iron on it.
Finally an iron that gets warm enough that if done slowly like you're supposed to, only takes one swipe over the hair, to straighten it. Even my stylist has to make two or three swipes! Better yet, it holds real well in the high humid temperatures found in the St Louis Metro area and this is the warmest summer on record.
All that said, I love the iron, its cord is long enough that I don't have to stand on top of the outlet, the outside doesn't get so hot that I can't touch it, it doesn't catch my hair and break it off at the plate edges. It makes my hair feel silky smooth and everyone comments on how healthy my hair looks. All of that with using a tool that heats to 410 degrees, wow! I am thrilled! Enough Said! My T3 Tourmaline Model 83922, will be my last flat iron ever!
I have been using a T3 for about 6 months now with no problems to the unit or my hair. It heats up VERY quickly, so I don't need to leave it on for any length of time at all before actually using it, plugging it in just a minute or two before use. I would think with any unit that gets this hot, you might experience trouble over time with it burning itself out if left on for extended periods of time. Not to mention the damage it might do to your bathroom counter. No need here, it really does heat up quickly.
Welcome to the world of wonderful comments on your hair, and enjoy your new T3 Tourmaline,

Customer Review: Couldn't compare to the CHI
Summary: 2 Stars
I have very thick, very coarse, wavy hair. When my two year old CHI straightening iron broke, I needed to replace it quickly! Locally the only iron I could find was the T3 Tourmaline iron, so I thought I'd give it a try. It cost more than the CHI, was sold at a fancy salon, and could even be used on damp hair. Surely it would be a good replacement.
Unfortunately, it failed to impress.
-It did not leave my hair silky smooth. While my hair was certainly straighter, it still looked coarse. (This was on the hottest setting and with several passes over the hair)
-Because my hair is so thick, an iron needs to reduce the volume. The T3 failed in this respect, too.
-I thought I would like the larger (almost 2") iron surface. The T3 has a perfectly flat surface, which made it impossible to get a flip or curl on the ends.
Needless to say, I returned it quickly to the pricey salon and will be getting another CHI! Perhaps this brand would work better for someone with fine hair, since the temperature can be adjusted.
Customer Review: Wonderful Flat Iron
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been reading the reviews on here and I think this product is the best!!! My whole life (I am 24 now) I have wanted silky shiny staright hair but have never been able to get it. I have thick curly hair and I have even gone to the point of using a regular iron on my7 hair:( (not safe, will burn hair!) Then I discovered the T3 wet-dry the trick is not to use it on damp hair, I thought that was common sense... let your hair dry a little and of course use something to protect it!! I use Bumble and Bumble straight and a thermal protector spray then when the hair is almost dry I seperate it into small sections and run my T3 through every strand ONCE and slowly!!! (These high end irons are made so that you don't have to ruin hair by swiping too many times) AND TA DA.........Straight beautiful hair!then after add a little shine spray if desired. I am sorry for you girls that had such a problem with it, u gotta find what works for you, I know I didCustomer Review: I LOVE IT!!!!

I love this flat iron! This is my 6th flat iron (ever) and by far the best - I have been straightening my hair for 15 years now (I have very curly thick hair) and was extremely doubtful about the claims it made to starighten wet hair - but it does a fantastic job! I almost can't believe it! The best thing is that you can get it right up to your scalp along your hairline and it dosn't burn (which is new for me) so that I can straighten my hair from top to bottom. I used it 10 minutes out of the shower and while it took 2 more go overs than when it is dry the results are amazing! My hair has never looked so shiny and straight and it did not rip my hair like all my others have. I can't imagine the problems others who have reviewed this have had are true - but I just love mine!
