Product Rating: 5 Unbelievable!
Reviewer: Joanne Alexandris from NJ  Mon Dec 11 2006

I have really thick, wavy, hair that turns curly when it's humid. I thought no flat iron could handle my hair...I was wrong! This appliance is fantastic! Not only does it straighten my hair, I could make flips or waves wherever I want them. It leaves my hair smooth and shiny without damage. My hairstyle even lasts not only through the next day but I sometimes don't even want to wash it (yuck, right?). The price at Folica.com is lower than the stores in the mall too!

I was introduced to a T3 flat iron by my cousin. I loved the way it left my wet hair and went out and bought my own. It leaves my hair beautiful, shinny straight everytime I use it. very easy to travel with.So far all of my frineds and family members whom have used it have gone out to by it.

Reviewer: Christy from Winston-Salem, NC  Sat Nov 25 2006

I was really not expecting this flat iron to work, so I washed my hair and did as the instructions say and I used my T3 dryer to dry my roots and then I took my wet hair and pinned it up on top of my head and worked small sections from the bottom up and It does what it says, It dryed and straitened my hair in 2 passes over each section!! It saved me the time of drying and then using a flat iron, I was really impressed. I have very thick and long hair and this iron was worth the money. If you follow the directions it will work for you!!!

I have been struggling to find a flat iron that will control my unruly hair. My hair stylist recommended this product. Got it, and love it!

Product Rating: 2 Disappointing.
Reviewer: Lorelei   Mon Nov 20 2006

I was really looking forward to getting this product after all my friends raved about how great it is.
I find it very disappointing, there is very poor design the panels are seated in such a way that they can painfully snag your hair.
For $200 it is no different than the $65 ceramic iron I already had.
I would not have purchased it, if I could have tried a demo first.

Product Rating: 5 Great straightener
Reviewer: Holly from Pittsburgh PA  Tue Oct 31 2006

I went to a new stylist and she used the T3 on my hair and
I have never had such silky, straight hair with other irons. Your hair must be partially dry before using but it
still saves considerable time. I have below shoulder length
hair and it is frizzy, curly. I plan on buying one of my
own very soon. Love it!

Product Rating: 5 Amazing:)
Reviewer: Aniqa from Montreal, Qc, Canada  Mon Oct 30 2006

I first tried this flat iron in febuary on mi sweet 16. My friend lent it to me. I thought it was AMAZING. My hair was like silk! Plus the straightness stayed for 4 days! I decided to order it. When I first tried it I was dissapoined it took so long. But after i realised it was because I applied biosilk in my hair right b4 flat ironing! I love my t3 and I don't understand why it got such bad reviews. I guess people just dont know how to use it!

Product Rating: 5 Can't wait to buy my own!!!!
Reviewer: laura from new jersey  Wed Oct 18 2006

I used my friend's T3 flat iron all summer...and it worked! My hair is wavy and usually gets very frizzy from the summer humidity, but not this year! I'm finally going to buy my own and I can't wait! It's truly the best flat iron I've ever used. My hair has more health and shine than when I get it straightened at the salon. Absolutely the best!!! You won't be disappointed. My friend has had it for just over a year and it's working like it's brand new.

Product Rating: 5 people need to learn how to read!
Reviewer: heather from new jersey  Tue Oct 10 2006

I am stylist like many others that posted and frankly this is the most amazing iron I have ever used. Its not meant to dry soaking wet hair. It had to be dried some. But if people read directions and or get the proper instructions on how to use it, its unbelievable. If you have it extremely wet hair and take too big of sections your not gonna get what you paid for. Almost any iron will get hair caught in it with too big of sections. Learn how to do it properly and you will have fabulous results.

Product Rating: 2 not worth the price
Reviewer: ashley   Wed Sep 27 2006

my iron berfore the t3 was a F.H.I and i loved it until it broke after about 4 years...so when searching for a new iron i debated between the t3 and sedu..i made the wrong choice..this iron made my hair puffy with alot of fly-aways.... if you have owned a good iron b4 u will be dissapointed by this one

Product Rating: 1 Big Disappointment
Reviewer: Holly from Ft. Lauderdale, FL  Fri Sep 22 2006

I had high hopes for this T3 product, but was greatly disappointed in the results. It took my baby-fine curly hair and turned it into a wide, wild mass of kinky straw-like hair. Even after my hair had completely dried, this flat iron still did not flatten it into straightness. I was left with a hairdo fit for a witch costume. Needless to say, I'm returning the product.

Product Rating: 1 Hated It!
Reviewer: M Nguyen   Thu Sep 21 2006

I thought this product would save me time since it claims to do both at one time. But I was extremely disappointed. It did not smooth, straighten or dry my hair . The T3 pulled on my hair and a lot of my hair came off my scalp. I definitely would not recommend this product.

Product Rating: 1 DO NOT BUY
Reviewer: betty from california  Sun Sep 03 2006

i purchased one hopeing for beautiful shiny hair. My hair is quite thick and below shoulder and when i use this it doesnt grip the hair very well and it makes my hair more shiny and dull then it already is. I HATE this product i recommend a CORIOLISS.

Product Rating: 5 I love this product
Reviewer: Andrea from Vancouver, WA  Tue Aug 29 2006

I have very thick and course curly hair. Normally, it takes me over an hour to dry and straighten my hair. With this product I am done with both in a half hour. I would recommend this product to anyone with similar hair!

Product Rating: 5 Love it!
Reviewer: Jill   Tue Aug 29 2006

I was unsure if I should spend that much $ on a flat iron. Wow!! I love it and it is worth every dime. I have thick, naturally curly hair that I have been blow drying straight for 20 years. This product makes my hair smooth, soft and silky and very healthy. My husband noticed a difference in my hair texture immediately. I can't imagine not having it now.

Product Rating: 5 Honestly
Reviewer: Aly from New Jersey  Tue Aug 22 2006

I have really, really curly hair and blow dryers don't even work on me really. I bought this straightener because it is so overwhelming to try and style my hair once it's dry, that I wanted to give it a try. I am obsessed with this straightener. You have to keep it at the highest setting and slowly go down your hair shaft. I go over it 2x. First, theres a lot of crackling as the water turns into steam and the second time, I am making everything perfect. At the end, I'll go over a chunk of hair here or there. It has no kinks at all. it is shiny and I get stopped by strangers telling me I have gorgeous hair. It takes a while, but hands down, the best straightener I have ever touched.

Product Rating: 2 Poor results - frizzy hair
Reviewer: Farah from london  Fri Aug 04 2006

I agree with the other reviews.
I bought the wet n dry straightener after having my hair blow dry straightened in a salon. My hair is thick brown European and quite wavy/ unruly. Unfortunately after paying £94 for what was recommended as "the best " my hair is still wavy and I am disappointed - I thought my new straightener would get me Jennnifer Aniston hair even if at the expense of a few split ends.
This styler does NOT straighten hair that is wet or damp - it sends it immediately into dried up frizz. The experts recommend only straightening dry hair and they are right. The first and third times I tried I got frizzy bangs.
The second time was quite good but I think my hair was nearly dry and I didn’t use too much styling gel. It wasn’t straight straight but it ironed out most of the kinks.

Product Rating: 2 Not that Straight
Reviewer: Tiffany from Orlando, Florida  Tue Aug 01 2006

I have very wavy, frizzy hair so maybe I was looking for too much of a miractle but the iron make my hair wavy rather than straight. It dried it in one swipe but the result was not very nice looking. I tried it three times with three different temperature settings just to be sure, but decided to return the product. If your hair is already smoooth and somewhat straight this product may work great, but for already crazy hair you won't get anything worth noticing.

Product Rating: 1 Total Waste!!
Reviewer: melissa from new jersey  Mon Jul 17 2006

I could never find an iron that worked on my thick wavy hair, the only time it looked great was after visiting the salon, so I bought a CHI from my hairdresser and love it.

I kept noticing the T3 line at Sephora and since summer was here I thought it would be nice not to blow my hair out before straightening it so I bought the T3 Wet-to-Dry model...at a very hefty price. My CHI wasn't cheap either, and I would gladly pay double the price for the results I get from it, and figured I would feel the same about the T3...wet to straight = priceless!

The first time I used it I tried for 15 minutes, gave up, blew my hair out and plugged in my CHI. I've tried several times since then, on hair damp to completely dry, and have come to the conclusion that I wasted $200.00. My 14 year-old daughter was dying to give it a try, along with three of her friends and they all hated it also.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS FLAT IRON!!!

Product Rating: 4 works great
Reviewer: sheila from philadelphia  Mon Jul 10 2006

I owned a Hot Tools flat iron which worked fine, but I purchased this because I saw my hairdresser use it on a girl with very curly hair. It worked instantly. I like that I can use it when my hair is damp or the ends get wet under the shower cap. I have not used it when my hair is very wet.
