T3

I’ve been using this dryer for about 60 days and I really love it. I have a lot of fine/medium hair & this dryer dries my hair about 5 minutes faster than my previous dryer, the Babyliss Portofino which is another good dryer. The T3 also seems better at reducing frizz, increasing shine & is less damaging . The locking cool shot option also works better than my Portofino. I chose this version over the Cura Luxe because I don’t need the auto off feature or 5 heat settings. How much difference can there be between low & medium heat?:) The reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5, is the expensive price ($235, sale price $179) and the fact is that I am apprehensive about the durability of this dryer. I have read several reviews about the T3 dying for no reason and the diffuser attachment melting. For now, I’ve got my finger crossed that it will keep working for a few years. If it does quit, I will update my review.

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.
