I bought this product for my 14-year old daughter over 18 months ago. She has naturally very curly hair and uses this product almost daily. It not only straightens her long thick curly hair quickly, but her hair is shiny and healthy looking as well. We've never had any problems with the straightener and my daughter loves it. It is pricey, but I purchased on the recommendation of our hair stylist and have no regrets! My only caution is that this product does get VERY hot, so should be used with caution.

I really wanted to like this. I wasn't sure it'd be worth the price, so I bought the T3 and the Solia at the same time. I used both for a week, and the Solia made my hair look shinier and straightened it much faster than the T3. The T3 did an okay job, but it's definitely not worth double the price of the Solia. Now, I only kept it for a week, so I can't say whether the T3 does less damage in the long run -- but on a day to day basis, it's not really worth it.

The T3 Micro Ceramic Iron left my hair shiny and smooth. I chemically relax my hair plus I also color and highlight my hair, and when using this product, it looks like my hair is professionally done each time. I love it and recommend to anyone. I also purchased the hair dryer. Again, works like a charm and it shows.

Wonderful Flat Iron! Great Alternative To The Chi. I had the Chi Turbo (1"), but I got worried after reading some reviews about it being unreliable. This T3 iron comes with a 4-year comprehensive warranty, which made me feel more secure. Also, the solid-ceramic plates are "infused" with tourmaline which I found intriguing. 1-3/8" wide plates are the perfect width for my long-ish hair. It heats up fast, and stays hot. It does a great job gripping the hair without snagging. My hair stays silky and straight all day, and does not feel damaged after a while, like it did with cheaper irons I've used in the past. Another thing that this iron does that other irons do not do as well - it really curls. It has heat vents along the sides of the plates that lets you curl your hair by twisting it near the root and pulling it through (different from the usual method of gripping the ends of the strands and then winding up). Overall, I enjoy using this flat iron. Very happy with this purchase.
