If you've already read flat iron reviews in magazines or online, you'll have seen that T3 flat irons get very high marks. They've also received endorsements from many top stylists. To understand why, you have to understand the technical innovations that have gone into making these hair straighteners.
The brand is a very recent new comer to the world of hair care products as it wasn't until 2004 that it burst onto the scene. Right away it was obvious the company took hair care products seriously. It was one of the very first to make a tourmaline flat iron.
Tourmaline is a semi-precious gem that naturally emits 6 times more negative ions than does ceramic. Tourmaline is crushed and infused onto ceramic plates in straighteners and hair dryers. Negative ions have been believed for years to help promote health and youth - and it isn't all just hype either; negative ions have been shown to break down large water droplets into micro-droplets which are absorbed into hair follicles. This means that as you straighten hair, water is 'forced' into your hair, which not only gives makes it silky and shiny, it helps prevent it from heat damage.
The T3 Tourmaline flat iron has been a best seller since its launch. There are two models available; 1" and 1 3/8" plates. Both have variable heat control with a maximum temperature of 410F (210C).
Wet to Dry flat irons are becoming more popular which isn't surprising as you don't have to first blow dry hair, which saves time and reduces heat damage to hair. The plates are 1 3/8" and come with special channels and vents that allow excess moisture to be drained and evaporated away. Like all T3 flat irons the plates are tourmaline.
The wet to dry model has been out a while now without any re-design. It's still a good hair styler but other brands are now producing newer models that it many ways are superior. Take for instance the CHI wet to dry hair straightener. It comes with a digital monitor that allows you to set and monitor the temperature to your exact setting. It also comes with automatic shut off and ionic technology to help smooth and straighten hair.
The CHI wet to dry is a better appliance than the T3. However, the CHI retails for around 5, whereas the T3 is cheaper, retailing for around 5.
Whichever model of T3 flat iron you choose, you'll be getting a very good product that has received glowing reviews over the last few years. Stylists like Luke O'Connor from Lukaro Salon, Beverly Hills, uses one and has this to say: 'I use it on the set of Will and Grace and in the salon and really love it. It's fantastic and I use it on all my celebrity clients.'
My only concern is that the T3 may soon be seen as outdated. Many new models like the Corioliss and CHI Nano Ceramic Digital flat iron use something called Nan Silver Technology. This latest innovation kills 99% of bacteria found on the plates, which helps to keep hair cleaner, shinier and straighter. I just hope that we'll be seeing a new model of T3 flat iron soon that offers us something innovative and excites us like its original hair straighteners did.
