T3

I have so many curling irons literally my hall close is half just hair tools (I swear I’m not a hoarder I just love hair). While I love the hot tools wands I have and especially the one shaped like an L this might be my favorite wand. I got it for 35$ at Tj maxx and I have always wanted to try t3. Now o get why they are pricey! They hold curls so well! My hair is so straight and fine it never stays curled longer than a few hours even with hair spray. Imagine my surprise that I woke up the next day with my hair STILL curled and I didn’t use any hairspray! That is actually unheard of for me. Day 3 the curls were still there even, although they were wonky from me sleeping on them. I am so impressed! I need to save for one of their clip curling irons now!

When I say I would buy this again, I actually did! My first T3 was from T.J. Maxx that I bought for $80.00. I LOVED it! My hair was smoother, shiny, soft and dried in no time. It lasted 5 years. When it finally started giving up, I bought a new one. They are very expensive, $200.00. I bought mine from the T3 website during a flash sale, and with Ebates. I ended up paying less than $100.00 for it and it is still wonderful. So much so that I bought the compact travel version so I never have to use a hotel dryer again!! This is definitely a life changing dryer, especially for older women with arthritis as it is so lightweight, and for people with thick, hard to dry hair. I think my hair is better off for it.

I bought the singlepass luxe from sephora. It's a really beautiful straightener in white and rose gold. I ended up returning it because I found that it felt really cheap and flimsy but more importantly I found the temperature controls very annoying. It works by pushing the only button multiple times until the lights flash. Then clicking again to select one to five lights and remembering what temperature that is (it tells you in the manual it comes with). It was just far too irritating for me. I prefer something with actual temperature readings on it and simple plus and minus buttons or a dial. Another than that I found this didn't grip my hair enough to really straighten it well. I have super coarse difficult to straighten hair and need something that I can really apply some pressure with. This would work better for fine hair but it's not for me.
