If you’ve previously read flat iron reviews in magazines or online, you’ll have seen that T3 flat irons get very high marks. They’ve also conventional endorsements from many top stylists. To appreciate why, you have to value the technical novelties that have gone into making this hair straightness.

The brand is a very new 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 apparent the company took hair care products acutely. It was one of the very first to make a tourmaline flat iron.

Tourmaline is a semi-precious gem that obviously emits 6 times more negative ions than does ceramic. Tourmaline is compressed and infused onto ceramic plates in strengtheners and hair dryers. Negative ions have been supposed for years to help endorse 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 engrossed 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 avert 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 sapped 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 styles but other brands are now producing newer models that it many ways are advanced. Take for instance the CHI wet to dry hair straightened. It comes with a digital monitor that permits you to set and monitor the temperature to your exact setting. It also comes with automatic shut off and ionic technology to help flat and straighten hair.

The CHI wet to dry is an improved appliance than the T3. Though, the CHI retails for around $175, whereas the T3 is cheaper, retailing for around $145.

Either model of T3 flat iron you prefer, you’ll be getting a very good product that has established 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 unbelievable and I use it on all my celebrity clients.’

My only apprehension is that the T3 may soon be seen as archaic. Many new models like the Corioliss and CHI Nano Ceramic Digital flat iron use something called Nan Silver Technology. This newest novelty 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 pioneering and stimulates us like its original hair strengtheners did.
