Best Dryer I've Ever Used

I have been a fan of T3 products for a long time so when I found out they were launching a new dryer, I had to get my hands on it!!! This dryer exceeded my expectations -- drying my hair SUPER fast and leaving it beyond soft. And, it's gorgeous. I also love the auto pause feature -- when I put the dryer down on my vanity, it shuts off, and then restarts when I go to pick it up! Genius!!! 5 stars!

Noisy Fail

Sorry to report this T3 Ionic Hair Dryer was a fail for me. I have a compact travel T3 hair dryer that is fine, and I previously had a regular-size model that performed fine until it quit. However, this model was a hassle from the get go--the worst part was the NOISE. When I first plugged it in and turned it on and off, it initially emitted a terrible high-pitch sound that immediately signaled it was too annoying to even consider using. That, coupled with the multiple buttons/settings that just unnecessarily complicate my life made me disconnect it and put it back in the box to return it. (I have returned it) I never even used it to dry my hair. I hope others have a better experience, but for the price and my personal experience, I cannot recommend it.

Not for me.

My old t3 stopped working after only three years, so I ordered this new model. First I was dismayed by how loud it is, but then I also realized that four of the five heat settings were too hot for me to even use. My hair is shoulder length and fine, but it’s very healthy and I’m careful with it because I dry it every day. I sent this back and tried the Drybar Buttercup instead, and that one has been much better for adding volume and shine with much less heat. The Cura Luxe just felt drying and left my hair flat. T3 does beautiful packaging, but I did not like the performance of this dryer at all.

worst.

Worst blow dryer. I researched many and bought this over the Dyson because I had more faith in it. Haven’t tried Dyson yet but will. Hoping it is way better than this. My revlon $40 dryer worked waaaaayyy better. This left my hair looking like a dead, frizzy, dull nest. I use expensive products and this dryer humiliated them. I have a long, fine, but thick hair. This dryer is stunted seemingly and does not come to a narrow point which I think really affects its performance. Changes the heat settings as I was using it and the heat all seemed the same. The pause setting is ridiculous because the dryer actually has to be touching nothing for it to pause. Setting it down or putting it between my legs to readjust didn’t pause it. Just a complete failure. Can’t wait to return. Even my husband was like, “what happened to your hair? It’s a little crazy.”

looove

Had a dyson and it completely dried out my hair. I love this T3 . My hair feels softer after I dry. I’ve made a real focus of taking care of my hair this year. Switched to Kerastase products, take an amazing hair vitamin with biotin and collagen (baby blues is the brand so so good) and bought myself this dryer and so happy with improvement it’s made on my hair.

love this dryer!

It doesn’t necessarily dry my hair faster than my other dryer (I have curly 3b hair) but it’s lighter weight and the pause feature is awesome to allow for sectioning and not have the dryer blow off the counter when I set it down. The white and rose gold color is an added bonus!
