LOVE IT! I have very tight fine curly virgin hair. I decided to try the new 1" version of the T3 wet to dry. Amazing! It does work on WET and handles beautifully. I prefer to use it on damp hair, 370 setting and do several passes for best results. My hair, when straight, falls well below the shoulders so it takes time to do it right. I have no illusions that it will get the same look as those who have less curl. But when I want to straighten for the change to loose curls this iron works well and takes much less time than drying and pressing. The hair feels and looks silky. I also lose much less hair in the process. I now have 2 favorite irons...the Solia Flat 1 1/4 -simply fabulous & smooth, being the other.
Amazing results on wet hair

OK, I am a major Sedu junkie, but my friend, who dances, swiped my Sedu. I decided to try out the T3 Wet or Dry in the 1 inch size figuring it would be nice to have one of each model, but different plate sizes, to afford more versatility. After reading the reviews I was a little worried, but let me tell you, this little wonder far exceeded my expectations. One slow, steady, swipe down my hair and my hair was dry, smooth, and shiny. I got most of my head in relatively quick time, I would say about comparable to my Sedu on a dry head of hair! Not as incredibly smooth of a pull as the Sedu, which virtually glides like silk thru my thick, coarse, unruly hair, but still the best of any other I have used. And, as minimal hair loss as my Sedu (which was one of my main reasons to love that wonder as well). I waited for the back of my hair to dry and used it on dry hair, with similarly amazing results. The bottom line: The Sedu is the most amazing hair iron ever made, but the T3 comes in a close second, and enables you to use it in WET hair as opposed to safely being able to use on damp. So close did this item come, that wouldn't even take away a quarter star if we were asked to rate in the decimal system.
the t3 is god sent it is unbelievable

This machine is unlike any other flat iron or other hair appliance. I am in awe with how this works. It leaves your hair pin straight. My sister and I have course curly hair and this has been a miracle. We spent from $80 to $100 on a trip to the salon to get our hair straight. The t3 was paid off with one visit to the salon. it is unbelievable the money we will be saving. My sister and I are enjoying pin straight hair more often. We are throwing hair straightening parties on the weekends for famiy and friends. I m sure they will be purchasing the T3 in the near future. Thank you Folica for an incredible machine.
mixed results

I am a hair stylist. i loved this Iron at first. it straightedned most hair types and you could use it safely on damp hair- very impressive. Mine broke after six months. I purchased 2 others, newer models, both pulled my customers hair because of the new design. It's obvious a hair stylist had nothing to do with the making of the new unimproved model.
pretty good

I have thick curly hair. My friend has this iron and I used it once. It is a wet/dry straightner but I prefer to let my hair dry naturally. I used it when my hair was dry and it cut my straightening time in half. I still think there is a better iron out there somewhere, though.

Works great - helps save time by eliminating the blowdry process. Small 1/2 inch sections give better results. Does not get to hot against the scalp.
This product does what it says!

I love my Tourmaline 3. I have fine, wavy, thick hair.
Nothing has ever straightened my hair like this does.
Even from wet to dry. I would highly recommend it to my
friends!

Washing and straightening my hair used to be a two hour process. I hated it so much that I would wash it, let it air dry, then flat iron it out the next day. Needless to say, with this flat iron it can be done in a half hour...I rationalize like this...once a week at a salon - wash and blow dry = $20. I have had my iron for 7 months now and it works as well as the first time and has definitely paid for itself. I am mixed and have hair that turns into ringlets when wet. I also have a relaxer. This product is amazing and saves me so much time!
Compaired to the CHI

First off, I read a few of the other reviews and was like. "Uhh right. These people don't know much about hair.."
If you have curly hair, and want it straight you are going to have to at least semi pre-blow-dry it straight as sucky as that sounds before using ANY iron. So really this iron is not for you seeing as the feature is "Wet to Dry".
For me however it's quite perfect from the sounds of it. My hair is kinky, not stright or curly.. A little wavy here and there and just weird and flippy. I can get away with using it on wet hair and have a nice dry straight style.
I'm used to using the CHI which I LOVE to death, AMAZING iron. Today this one was shipped to the salon and I gave it a try. Keep in mind my hair wasn't all that wet when I used it. Damp in a few spots. So i'm not 100% sure about that part. But I actually found it to smooth my hair out a bit better, the end result wasn't as staticy like it is sometimes with the CHI.
If I had to choose between the two i'd probably choose the CHI just because I like the size of it and if you know the technique, you can also curl and such with it.
Either way seems like a good iron. If I didn't have the CHI first, I'd love it.

Purchased the T3 flat iron , I heard it was better than the Sedu flat iron, WRONG! With the Sedu flattens hair only one time the T3 takes several times flatting the same piece of hair, does not leave hair looking natural. For 145.00 the T3 is not worth the money
Worked As Advertised But Not Ideal

I was motivated to purchase this product because I was in desperate need for a flat iron and it was one of InStyle magazine's top product picks for 2006. Although the product worked as it said, it was not ideal for my lifestyle or my hair type (fine and wavy). First, it is best used in small sections of hair. However, I don't have the luxury of time in the morning. Second, my hair got caught often in the seams of the plates. I don't have much hair to loose so I would prefer not to see it go unnecessarily.
Worked great at first.!

I purchased the wet-dry flat iron and thought it was amazing at first. After about 1 month it completely stopped working. I purchased it through Sephora so was able to return it. I thought I had a defective flat iron so I exchanged it for a new one. Well, my second one broke within 2 weeks! The exact same thing happened to a friend of mine. She is currently on her third.
OH no!

I have thick, curly and colored hair and have been using the CHI for two years to straighten. My CHI was going off periodically and knew I had to buy a new one and was researching flat irons on the web. Found out about the T3 and was curious. My hairdresser had never heard of it and was very skeptical. I bought it online and took it to her for her to use on my hair and she was amazed. Usually she had to dry my thick hair on a round brush and then straighten it with a flat iron. This T3 was amazing! We dried the roots and a little all around the hair and then in small sections used the iron. It sizzled but we knew that was supposed to happen. It took a couple of times to run it through each section, but VOILA! My hair was silky and soft and stayed that way for 3 days. My question is why don't more people know about this product? I am telling all my friends!
Don't listen to the sour grapes!

I have naturally curly/frizzy hair and this has been a wonderful tool. I find that it really does take my hair from wet to dry (you'll have to play w/ the temp. to see what works for you) and delivers straight, shiny hair. I also was delighted to find that on a humid day, my hair did not frizz and wave up like when I used a regular ceramic iron.
If you use this tool properly (not trying to staighten too large of sections of hair at one time) you will have healthy, shiny, STRAIGHT (yeah!) hair!
This iron is AMAZING!!

I have human hair extensions like Jessica Simpson, that looked great when I left the salon. When I tried washing my hair and styling it myself, it was a frizzy disgusting mess. I tried using the curling irons and flat irons i had at home, but they did nothing except make my hair look even more dry and overprocessed and frizzy. So I bought this iron. I came home, ran the iron through my hair, and after only 5 MINUTES, my entire head was done - silky smoothe, shiney, GORGEOUS - my hair looks like Demi Moore's!! I am in SHOCK! I cannot believe the transformation. This product is UNBELIEVABLE!!

I love this flat iron. It works great on my hair and doesn't harm it like others have done in the past. I use mine daily and have had sign of hair breakage. Please note: that while it is a wet/dry iron, that it should be used on dry hair for best results.
Does not to a good job

My hair is very curly coarse and thick. This flatiron is okay on dry hair (my CHI works better tho). I bought it assuming that it would work better than the CHI that I had previously bought a few years ago. I was wrong. It does NOT do a good job on wet hair, the hair sizzles and DOES get caught between the plates. It left my hair looking very dry and wet. If I could, I would return it.
AMAZING!
