Advantages: Don't damage your hair,easy and light to use, 2 year guarantee
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...I've just got to tell you about T3 Straighteners they are the best straighteners I've ever had. My hair is quite thick and about shoulder length and my GHD's just could not cope with it and damaged my hair quite badly.The ghd's also went bust twice in 6 months and it was a nightmare getting them replaced...their after sales service is terrible. My hairdresser uses T3 Straighteners and hair dryers and she recommended I use them she told me that lots of hairdressers have now changed to them because they are so kind to the hair and more reliable than any of the others. They do cost more than some of the others but these are professional straighteners that are guaranteed for 2 years and have floating plates and are just beautiful to look at in black with white plates and diamonte studs in the handle. They are also really light... Read review

Advantages: QUICK. EASY, DOES NOT DAMAGE HAIR
Disadvantages: ABIT PRICEY, TAKES A WHILE TO COOL DOWN

...When my KODO straighteners were dropped and the ceramic plate cracked, they still worked but where my hair was catching in them was becoming quite painful so I set about to purchase some new straighteners and phoned every local hair salon for advice where I received differant info. from each but ghd and t3 were two of the most frequently mentioned. Both similarily priced at around £105- £120, although I was told that T3 were GHD's replacement but I do not know how true this is. I looked through as many reviews and web sites as I could find comparing the two and eventually spoke to a lovely lady on Salonlines who said both makes were much the same except t3 were newer and because of the ions were quicker and far kinder to your hair and with a 2 year guarantee I went for them and received them the following day! Beware of where you... Read review

Advantages: Tourmaline plates give better protection to hair
Disadvantages: None except price

...£100+!) I checked out the details with SDLhair, who distribute this make. I spoke to a very helpful lady who confirmed that yes, it really was all true, the T3 is the latest and best model. The plates contain Tourmaline crystals which are crushed into the ceramic plates enabling them to produce a higher level of negative ions. Tourmaline is an expensive precious stone which apparently posseses unique ionic and infrared properties giving the hair a shinier and healthier finish! Well that did it for me, so I tracked down the best deal on the internet with Salonlines.co.uk...£155 for a T3 Mark 2, 1" pair of straighteners and....errm....the matching T3 hairdryer..well I had to get the matching hairdryer!.. and it's brilliant too, but this review is about the straighteners.

Advantages: Supersleek straight hair, or you can add texture.. Versatility!
Disadvantages: At 210C you've got to be very careful where you put these!

...! I have owned these straighteners for about a year and a half and they have lasted longer than any other pair that I've owned. They are very dureable, and the heat mat provided makes them ideal to travel around with. The swivel-cable also helps to stop you tearing the wires out when you're trying to smooth out difficult spots! Also, in my year and a half of using them my hair is still very smooth! Used with the correct products they don't dry out your hair, and even at 210C my hair has seemed to benefit from the tourmaline plates. The quality of the straightened hair is very good - it stays as you have styled it for hours, and the hair is also left smooth and frizz free which can be a problem found with other straighteners. Price however is the biggest downfall of this product. Of course you are paying for quality, and it is almost... Read review

Advantages: The best on the market! Brilliant job on any type on hair.
Disadvantages: Quite expensive but worth it (I think anyway)

...as a frizzy mess anyway! Then I tried a friends GHD's and thought they were the best ever, the answer to my prayers! So I went on a hunt for the cheapest offer, this took a few months but whilst looking I stumbled across an advert for the latest innovative hair straighteners on the market; the T3 tourmaline wet-to-dry. I didn't know anyone with these straighteners but I really liked the sound of them, especially the fact you can just jump out of the shower and straighten from wet. I read up on them and everything said was very positive. I know they are expensive (almost £100) but I was gonna spend that much anyway on the GHD's. So, my hunt started again but this time for the T3 iron. It didn't take long for me to find a good offer. I waited a couple of days for them to arrive and when they did I wasn't disappointed. I tried them that day... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant results, Temperature dial, Light, Easy to use.
Disadvantages: They are so good that you won't want to be without them!

...I was a little confused when trying to decide which ceramic straigheners to buy. At first I was going to go for GHD as they are a very popular brand....However don't follow the crowd, try T3 Tourmaline straighteners by HairArt. These straighteners are made from 100% crushed Tourmaline mineral. Which in the words of 'Jasonshankey.co.uk' means: 'A precious stone, Tourmaline works by itself, just like a magnet. It naturally emits the most negative ions and infrared heat possible. This means you get the best results, and the silkiest, shiniest, healthiest hair imaginable. Guaranteed.' I certainly get silky and shiney hair after using these straighteners, and apparently Tourmaline straighteners are less damaging on the hair than normal ceramic straighteners (like GHD). Therefore this is one thing that makes these straighteners... Read review

Advantages: Quick to use, glossy results, salon style at home
Disadvantages: Expensive

...My hair has had a bad hair year. I had a pair of straighteners that worked (Remingtons) which mysteriously disappeared a year ago. Since then the mop has gone from bad to worse. I have very thick hair, which is fabulous when done properly but with a two year old, an eight year old, and a business based at home, I have very little time for beautifying myself. I did buy some straighteners at Christmas (Revlon) but they were useless. They had no impact whatsoever on the mop - they couldn't cope with thick hair at all - they went straight back in the box. I first saw the T3 Wet to Dry straighteners on the internet before Christmas. They looked fantastic - they have the build quality you would expecct from a hideously expensive appliance, and are a sleek grey, with amber coloured plates. It is the plates that make all...

Advantages: good for touching up your style during the day, small and convenient size
Disadvantages: takes a long time to recharge, not overly effective

...and the styling plates are anodised which is supposed to care for your hair and create a longer lasting style. I dont have a tape measure on me as it has gone walk-abouts but when closed the straightener is about the length of a toilet roll tube and a little bit larger in width than a toilet roll tube! (as soon as i find the tapemeasure i will put in proper measurements!) But basically the straightener is very compact and will fit easily into most handbags. HOW TO USE The straightener is easy to use: * First you push the centre section of the straightener upwards to open. * You switch it on by sliding the on/off switch to the on position and the power light will illuminate/ *The plates need to be closed whilst they warm up so once switched on you slide the barrel 3/4 of its length back into the outer casing. The straightener... Read review

Advantages: you get straight hair and it actually stays straight
Disadvantages: pricey but worth it

...abit longer. when i first got them i got abit obsessed with straightening, but be careful not to over straighten as they will damage your hair if you use them everyday. i've found that if you straighten your hair, it will stay straight untill the next time you wash your hair. what i aso found really good is the fact that when you tie your hair up, you get a kink when you let it down again, but when you straighten your hair with these the kink falls out after about an hour so you don't need to straigthen again. i would recommend that you do use some protection on your hair becasue the plates do get extremely hot. i would recommend tresemme heat protection. ive found that the ghd heat protection leaves a residue in the hair. i bought my ghds for £85 and i got a heat proof mat with it. but you can get them for about £65 now, i think...

Advantages: Smooth Plates, Does work from Wet.
Disadvantages: Expensive - But worth saving for!!

...These are by far the best straighteners I have ever used. I don't have really curly hair, but if left without products or dried with a hairdryer it is very very frizzy and very long (comes to halfway down my back). For this reason if I wanted to have straight hair, I would normally have to carefully dry my hair as straight as possible in sections with a hairdryer and then straighten using straighteners, also in sections, which had previously taken me over an hour. As you can imagine, I very rarely bothered! I had read about these straighteners and the claims that they would not damage hair, and would straighten from wet, which all sounded a bit too good to be true, plus they were very expensive, as ceramic straighteners are not that expensive now. After getting the straighteners and trying them out they do live up to their hype... Read review
