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: 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: 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. The Next Day The delivery driver arrives..whoo hoo... Read review

Advantages: Use on Wet Hair, Seal in Moisture, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Overuse

...I am one of those people who straighten their hair way too much, end up with it being too dry and then have to spend loads of money on conditioning products to out it right. My hair is naturally pretty straight but we all want vertical straight lines nowadays wihtout those natural waves. I own 3 pairs of straighteners because i was yet to find the right ones for me or my hair. Then i read an article on the net about the new revolution of Tourmaline straighteners. unlike ceramic straighteners the plates are made of crushed gems (tourmaline) which emit negative ions when heated. Enough science, What this means is that they can reach temperatures in excess of 210 degrees, dry hair as they straigten and all the time lock in the moisture. Apparently all the rich and famous are using them and top make up artists wouldn't be seen... Read review

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: 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
