“Hairart T3 Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic Straightening Irons”
Written on: 25/05/2012
I purchased these straighteners in 2005 for £75, best buy ever, have not needed the hairdressers since, saved a fortune. Now I cut my hair myself and use the straighteners to curl under the ends so if my cut is not brill it doesn't matter. My hair is very thick I look like a lion when I blow dry it which I do every two days and it looks dull and dry. I then use my straighteners and my hair magically becomes sleek, shiny and super soft.

Written on: 20/05/2011
I have had these straighteners since about 2004 and they are still working for me. Last year I was travelling through the US and so couldn't use them there. I purchased two other straighteners in the US - one was a cordless one, which was only cheap and was not good at all. It would only be useful for my fringe, when I have one. The other one was by Royale and is okay, but I only used it whilst I was travelling and now only to do curls. It pulls my hair and I feel like my hair is... (read more)

I used a very expensive Sedu flat iron for the last year. My long hair turned into Rupunzel hair. I thought there was something wrong with me it was so bizarre. My hair was getting wavier and wavier over time and taking me longer and longer to try to get all the waves out - a vicious circle. I tried lower settings, all types of heat protectants, didn't help.
It broke and I decided to try the T3 Tourmaline-Hairart 1-3/4". I had used a similar flat iron before. After a week my hair is normal...

Had GHD hair straighteners but they didn't give that shiny silky finish and my hair was still frizzy. Tried everything and they just wouldn't work on my hair-so when I saw these advertised I was in 2 minds as it is a lot of money to fork out, especially as Id already splashed out on GHDs. These straighteners are absolutely amazing! Especially on hair like mine-which I can only describe as candy floss! Doesn't dry my hair out like GHDs do.

Before taking the plunge and spending a hideous amount of money on hair straighteners I decided to at least do my research first! I had many friends who owned GHD'S but constantly complained about split ends and dry brittle hair etc etc. I have quite fine hair already so extreme heat would give me split ends in an instant. I had used GHD's before and they were okay if I only straightened once in a while but I wanted to straighten my hair every day and couldnt risk the damage it may cause... (read more)

I've had GHD's for years now, and whilst they did straighten my hair fairly well, I must admit I thought I could do better, so I searched the web, and found the T3 Tourmaline Straighteners by Hairart! They sounded brilliant, so I bought a pair, hoping that the price would reflect the quality, as they were rather expensive!

There was loads of information on the site, and I decided to take the plunge! I'm so glad I did, as the iron has so many good features and it works superbly, leaving my hair shiny and poker straight for days.

I would certainly recommend the T3 Bespoke Labs hair straighteners. I purchased a 1" narrow plate, and the results are great; much better than previous brands I have had. The guys at the online store where I purchased them from were great, and hairtrader.co.uk is a fully authorised seller for T3, which meant I got the full 2 years warranty, unlike a lot of other websites which are not approved.
Well done T3! Great product!

I have has these straighteners for over 2 years now, and they are almost as good as the day I got them. Fair enough, they may take 30 seconds to heat up to the top temperature, as opposed to 20 seconds when I first got them, but a little wear can be expected. Really, I can't fault the T3 Tourmaline Straighteners by Hairart. They are well worth the money. A lot better than GHD's in my point of view! (read more)

The Hairart T3 Tourmaline hair straighteners are great, and I have recommended them to several people.
However, do be careful where you buy them from, as you will only get a 2 year guarantee if you buy them from one of a handful of retailers/suppliers. You can find out more by typing in T3 TOURMALINE STRAIGHTENERS on any search engine and looking for websites that have T3 approval. You only get a 6 month guarantee if you purchase the T3's from an unapproved seller, so it's worth doing your...

Written on: 26/09/2006
Hi Jay,
<br/>
<br/>Just to put you right, the straighteners you purchased from hair stuff direct are cheap copies of the Hairart T3 Tourmaline straighteners.
<br/>Like many companies they try to ride on the back of success of T3 Straighteners by bringing in cheap copies from China and passing them off as "Tourmaline" straighteners.
<br/>If you look at their web site you will see they are not Hairart T3 but SCP.
<br/>Genuine t3 straighteners are only available from approved salons and web sites like www.t3hair.com
<br/>If you see a new T3 Straightener on line for less than £90 then it's either a copy or being sold by an unauthorized site in which case your warranty will be affected.
<br/>I hate to say this but in terms of Tourmaline straighteners you get what you pay for.......cheap is cheap as you've found out, but please don't confuse SCP with the genuine article.

I have recently purchased the T3 Tourmaline Straighteners by Hairart. Before them I had the Frenson wide plate straighteners, then GHD wide plate straighteners for about 2 years. I was never very happy with the GHD's so I decided to spend a bit more and try the T3 brand. I have very bushy, very thick, layered shoulder length hair, and I can honestly say that I am 100% impressed with T3. They straighten my hair very quickly and leave it looking really sleek and shiny, and the style lasts... (read more)

Unfortunately after paying £94 for what was recommended as "the best", my hair is still wavy and I am disappointed.

Hi, I have got quite thick hair and use my T3 Wet to Dry all the time. The difference is I think, is that I've followed the guide that T3 give for temperature and you are using yours at way too low for your hair type. If your hair is getting snagged you're also probably taking too wide sections.
If you do what I do I'm sure you'll see a vast improvement.

Charlene, Thanks for your comment. I still can't use the straightener when hair is damp but have recently seen an improvement when I wait until my hair is nearly dry. I will check the guide for temperatures, hadn't noticed there was one.

Libbylou's Response to Farah11's Review
Written on: 12/09/2006
Ablsolutely. You must use a higher temperature. That is the appeal of more expensive straighteners because they can get hot enough so that you only need to go over a section once and not several times. This actually causes less damage than useing a lower setting. I would also recommend that you not use hair gel with your straightener. Intsead, use a protective serium, like Biosilk Silk Therapy by Farouk Systems, or a glossing cream, like Fekkai style and shine. Applying either one to your hair before using your flat iron will aid in straightening, controll frizziness, and protect your hair. I use the second product with my T3 wet/dry and my hair looks pretty fabulous when I use it. Good luck, and I hope that helps!

I had my T3 hair straighteners for just over a year when they burst into flames and came very close to burning my hand. As I had lost my receipt, the hairdressers I had purchased the straighteners from would not help me.

I'm very disappointed and annoyed, as in every other way they were great. (read more)

Hi Shamine, It's a problem, but not a big problem, as each straightener has a unique serial number. Best case is you'll get a replacement foc, worst case is you'll pay for a repair. Paying £30 for a repair would still be cheaper than buying a new pair!!

Hey, I think they work better than the GHD's because the T3's have a temperature control and the GHD's don't. The T3's are really worth buying because they last for 2 years and the straighteners come with a heatproof mat. The GHD's can frizz your hair and give you split ends but since ive been using the T3's , my hair has been much shinier and healthier looking. Im glad I chose T3's over the GHD's .

Which T3 Tourmaline straighteners do you have? Because I checked the T3 site and there were quite a few of them there. I have used the GHD ones and their very good but after reading about T3 Tourmaline I have changed my mind and want to get them instead. Is there any way you can help, I am very confused on which one is the right one or are they the same?
Thank you

I have the 1" plates.There are two types of T3's though. First there are the MK 1's, these are the black version . Then there is the MK 2's, this is the silver version and they are an upgrade from the MK'1s. I have the MK 2's and they work amazingly. I don't think that they sell the MK1's on most sites but the MK 2's are better than the MK 1's so you should get the MK 2's. If you have long, coarse hair then you could get the wet to straight but I chose the 1" plates because they are the same size as the GHD straighteners. I would say that the T3's are they best straighteners ever... they make your hair shiny, smooth and alot healthier!

The T3 Tourmaline straighteners by Hairart are my third pair of hair straighteners (2nd pro pair), and they definitely outshine my previous two. I have very thick frizzy hair, which is prone to kinks. I've had them for just over a year, and I use them every day. Inevitably with daily use of them, and of blow drying too, I do get the ODD split end, but I did without them.

I've just bought the T3 Tourmaline Straighteners by Hairart. They are medium quality straighteners, and they differ from the images. There is a prong next to the top plate which slots into a hole by the bottom plate, apparently helping to align the straighteners. However, this is a big problem, as my hair keeps getting stuck when I straighten. When it clamps together, it causes breakages and damage. I don't understand why this is omitted from all the photos, and they've obviously been... (read more)

Maybe it's a new design feature lizzily .......... ?

<br>My t3's are very, very misaligned. According to some other comments on other reviews some others had a similar problem.
<br>
<br>Maybe t3 has introduced the hole/pin system to ensure the plates allign.

<br>Mine definatily do not have it and mine look like the pictures.
<br>But, mine do not allign properly and even when i can push them together to align the results are quite average on my hair.

Good to hear your T3's are working well for you princessali.
<br>
<br>I wish mine did a better job.
<br>
<br>I too had issues with the people I bought mine through (same people you got yours from).
<br>Such a shame.
<br>Found them quite rude and insulting to be honest.
<br>
<br>Oh well, at least we'll know better for the future.

<br>Enjoy your T3's !! :)

I have very thick hair and was looking for a pair of straighteners to get that salon look. I read all the reviews and couldn't decide between GHD or the T3 Tourmaline Straighteners by Hairart so after 3 days deciding I choose the t3 they came only 2days after ordering them. So I got to work straightening my hair. They took a little longer than my normal straightners but the effort was well worth it. And I'm glad to say that the effort does last till the next wash hardly had my hair up since... (read more)

I appear to be in the minority here. I so wanted to like the T3 Tourmaline Straighteners by Hairart after all the great reviews here but I much prefer my ghd's.
The T3 does work, but it's a much more gentle type of straightening. My hair is kind of wavy, and the T3 removes most of the wave, but the results do not last until my next wash!
I wash my hair every 2nd day and on the 2nd day I need to iron my hair again. Not good.
With my ghd (as those of you that own them no doubt are aware)...

I totally agree with you. My hair is quite fine, wavy and prone to frizz. I've used my T3s for four months and my hair has not been sleek and shiny all that time. Had my hair done at the hairdressers by ghds and have gone back to using them again. My hair is soooooooo much better with ghds. Providing you always use a serum like Osis Anti-frizz or Lee stafford poker straight balm then ghd oil you're hair is fantastic! Ain't going back to T3s NEVER EVER!!!!!

Amazing that you write this. I am in Australia and I had tremendous trouble with sales people in London. Not T3 themselves, but the people selling the T3's. They were also extremely rude towards me........... I am not allowed to state their name on this site (unfair as we cannot warn others), but I have given up and am stuck with my T3's that do an OK job but aren't really that good........

Well readers, yesterday my long time friend and favourite hair tool of 3 and a half years passed away, YES, I'm referring to my GHD. I declared it dead and did my research on the latest hair straighteners as my beloved GHD had started to spark.
I typed in GHD on Google and surfed around with the intent to look at alternatives to the GHD, and if I had no luck I'd simply buy a new GHD. I looked at the SCP straightener and wasn't convinced that I could get a quality long lasting straightener...

hiya, just wondering if you could help me, am thinking of buyin t3 straighteners, but thers so many, am not sure which one would be best for my hair, i have thick long wavy hair, and dont want a super big plated straightener. am stuck between either the wet to dry t3(but i tend to let my hair dry naturally, rather than blowdrying it) or the medium sized one, the 1 3/8 or 1 3/4 ones?

hi princess ali,
<br>I have thick long hair too and i often let my hair dry naturally too. What i advise is that you get the wet2dry irons, they can be used on dry, semi/dry and damp hair too, but the irons are exceptionally good at removing all dampness and sealing in shine, this means no frizz! So wash your hair the evening before straightening, let ur hair dry naturally and then straighten ur hair in the morning.This way ur hair will be more malleable and will take to straightening more than if were DRY-DRY. The wet2dry 1 and 3/4, (thats the slightly wider plates) are better for if u've got thick hair and lots of it, (the plates are not too big or heavy). I had narrower GHD plates before and now it takes me half the time (30mins down to 15mins) to straighten my hair to a perfect poker straight finish. Thats my advice, hope u found my comments helpful.

<br>I personally have a pair of T3 and they truly are amazing. I have never had anything straighten my hair like those, and no I am not a hairdresser - I am an office manager, and have nothing to do with hair products or hair manufacturers.

<br>Personally these are the best hair straightners I have ever bought and will never need to buy another!

Thank you Babrahams,
<br>
<br>I actually have a small criticism, the problem I have is that I've used my T3 three or four times and one of the plates is not 100% in line with the other. Don't get me wrong, it works beautifully, (my hair is sleek and poker straight), but I was worried that over time it may get worse. BUT I phoned T3 and they were very concerned and advised me to send the T3 back, and they'll send me a new one.
<br>It's the luck of the draw, from my point of view, the irons are brilliant, they save me time and energy and are kind to my hair and I would still recommend them just as strongly as before.

Googs - get off your soap box!!! Just because you have a duff pair does not mean that the rest of us think that the T3 are awful!

<br>I really do think they are the best hair straightners ever made, and by looking at the rest of the reviews, I would say you were out numbered on your opinion.

<br>Give it a rest, and just let the rest of us enjoy ours. If you hate them so much, just go out a buy another pair of useless GHDs and then we shall see you moaning!!

Googs, get over it - just go and buy a pair of straigtners that you do like, and then review them in a positive way. I have been using the T3s for months now, and I have not got one single split hair - my hair is in really excellent condition. Perhaps the T3s have just highlighted another underlining problem with your hair - try talking to your hairdresser.
<br>
<br>Also, if you are having trouble complaining to T3 about your duff pair, go straight to T3 directly - that is what is recommend on your warranty - if you deal straight with them, send the duff pair back and they will replace them straight away.
<br>
<br>They are not a waste of money - in fact these were cheaper than the useless pair of GHDs I purchased. You cannot argue with the amount of excellent reviews that are on this site rating the T3s - you seem to be the only one with a big problem.
<br>
<br>Stop advising people not the buy them - just because you are having problems with yours, does not mean they are not a good product!! Stop complaining as well - get over and just go a buy something you do like!!

<br>I agree, you are entitled to your opinion, but don't force it onto others - everyone has their own choice whether to buy them or not.
<br>
<br>So far all you have done is slate the people who write good reviews and put down something that is very highly recommend - READ the rest of the reviews and stop pushing your thoughts onto others. By all means say that you are unhappy, but do something about it, and then review it!! Stop putting down those who do actually like the product, and stop suggesting they are working for T3 or specialist hair salons.

You go babrahams... thanks a lot...
<br>ONCE AGAIN GOOGS, my answers are not made up, I gave you my honest criticism of the T3 as a product, but seemingly not good enough for you, simply because I don't agree with you. WELL ANYWAY... in the real world, people agree to disagree...maybe thats a lesson you need to learn GOOGS, as well as buying a good moisturising and nourishing conditioner if you've got very split ends from using your straightening irons!!! (babrahams is also correct in that maybe you need a consultation with your hairdresser if your split ends are particularly bad).
<br>
<br>Princess Ali, I saw the straightening irons for £91.50 at T3's own website, I think its T3.com??

<br>I reiterate my irons work fine, my hair is still poker straight after using them, they are not difficult to use nor are they 'broken' or 'dodgy', I'm going to send them back just so the connecting pin can be tightened as a precaution. It really is a minor thing.

I think all this is getting a little out of hand. Zara has made a perfectly good review, which was given expert status by the staff at review centre. I don't think that anyone would be bigheaded enough to award this to themselves.
<br>
<br>Googs, we all need to agree to disagree, and move on. More people have placed good reviews for the T3s than bad, so surely that must say something. There are thousands upon thousands of reviews on this site, many positive, but there are just as many say about the bad experiences people have had with a product or service.
<br>
<br>This site is for freedom of speech, and for people to rave or rant about something, not to get into an argument with people. People should not be personally criticised about what they have said. If you disagree, thats fine, but say why YOU disagree, and do it without criticising the other people who have placed reviews or comments.
<br>
<br>Lets leave it, and continue to place reviews and comments on about our experiences, without being derogative towards others - I am sure that the people of Britain and Australia would agree with this, and this would make the world a much happier place!!!

ha ha can't believe how similar our problems are, my hair is a complete frizz ball and i am paranoid about having dead straight hair(i also use the pink l'oreal product u recommended- i have also found that the frizz ease straightening posion is good but rather expensive - lee staffords shine spray is also very good and makes hair feel really smooth). I have been through 2 pairs of straighteners in a year. The first GHD's were sucked into the hoover by my regretful mother, and the second thermoglass babyliss which brokelast week when i threw them across the room after hours of straightening. After using my brothers ultra thin toni and guy straighteners for a few days i am willing to buy the best straighteners money can buy. Your review was very helpful and i have my credit card ready to order the T3 wet to straight straigtners. Thank you, Francesca(bad hair day sufferer)

Well everybody, it's update time...
<br>I assumed that SDL Hair Limited, (company who makes T3s) would simply repair my T3 and send it back to me, but they sent me a PERFECT replacement! and it arrived a day earlier than they said! and if that's not good enough for you customer service cynics, they sent me a free bottle of Urban Culture Suave Sleek Creme as goodwill which is £9.95 on most hair product websites. That MORE THAN covers the £2.11 postage I paid to send the original straightener back!
<br>
<br>See, moral of the story is that, companies can supply faulty goods, they DO make mistakes BUT as long as they rectify the problems quickly and efficiently; WE (the consumers) should not winge and moan 24/7 but should give credit where credit is due.
<br>
<br>My T3 straightener is great and the company's aftersales service was just as good and that is what counts. Which is more than I can say for my previous GHD.

Hi Zara
<br>
<br>I agree with you on the customer service. I also have an expert review on T3s (yes, so chosen by Review Centre themselves!) and sent my pair back for repair after the plates didn't meet. I had one of the old black pairs, and after looking at them, free of charge, they gave me a brand new pair of Mark 2's - the silver ones. Took less than a week from me sending them off to getting my new pair.
<br>
<br>SDL also price match - I wanted to get my sister a pair of irons as a present, and a chap there gave me a great deal on them, and they've offered to match prices on a hairdryer or curling tongs should I want them (though I think it helps I've got them about 20/30 sales of irons!) Can't praise SDL enough, even though Salonlines could do a better job - also bought mine from them and was less than impressed! :) Love my 1 3/8s though, and wouldn't be without them!

<br>I dont have this problem with my t3. I have a wide wet2dry pair and i always use it with some dampness in my hair and with a protective serum.
<br>
<br>And GOOGS, i thought we'd come to a mutual agree-to-disagree agreement and i seem to remember you saying that this was YOur last comment on the topic....
<br>
<br>The majority of people who have reviewed t3s have said how good they are, there will always be some people (however small the minority) that is doesnt work for.
<br>
<br>The only points to add apart from this is ensuring you use the irons with moisture in your hair and with a protective serum to prevent dryness and split ends.

Hi dnsse,
<br>
<br>I would agree about the thick hair point, I do have thick hair and lots of it, so maybe my hair is more resilient to the irons, but at the same time, there is a variable temperature control so you could try using them on a lower heat setting, with an even coating of heat protective serum/spray if its too hot??

Right girls, as a Review Centre moderator I think it is about time I added some clarity to this situation.
<br>
<br>All comments are looked at and if necessary edited before they go 'live' onto the website.
<br>
<br>Googs, let me stress this website is unbiased. We have found the need to edit some of your posts though. This is because some of the points you made were in relation to the company you purchased the T3's off. This comments thread is for comments about the T3 straighteners only - NOT the retailers of them. If you have a problem with the product then we have no issue with you airing your grievances, however this should not extend to comments with regard to the suppliers or to comments making insinuations about other members. Just remeber this is a discussion about the product itself so lets not deviate from that!
<br>
<br>As long as everyone follows these simple guidelines then there should be no problems!
<br>
<br>If any of you have any questions then feel free to post as I will be keeping an eye on this!

Googs, I would just like to quote you once again, as you seem to have forgotten what you previously reviewed:
<br>
<br>"These irons are quite good. The thing I most like about them is that they are quite gentle on the hair and they don't seem to get as hot as some others.
<br>
<br>The variable temp is great. They leave the hair very soft and unlike traditional irons dont' seem to dry out the hair as much."
<br>
<br>Then later on you go on to quote:
<br>
<br>1. "People - the T3's do not work that great !!!!! Honestly. "
<br>
<br>2. " I think they are highly over-rated. The line that they cause 'no damage' is not correct. I have loads of split ends since using mine"
<br>
<br>Are you a little confused or just very forgetful , or perhaps you are just arguing with everyone for the sake of it. Are you bored or something? Yes you did say that the irons did not meet up, but what they actually did for your hair was quite good.
<br>
<br>I think you need to read back on what you have said, and then perhaps retract all the negative comments you have made - make up your mind!!

No, I am not confused.
<br>
<br>Well done on collecting all my quotes babrahams as it outlines how I first found the irons (in my initial review) and how I find them now. It is a shame that one cannot 'edit' a review, as I would change my ratings in all categories.
<br>
<br>They did seem more gentle on the hair when I first got them and they initially did not seem to dry out the hair as much.
<br>
<br>But, in my opinion (and some others also) the actual results of the irons (i.e. straigtening ability, shine factor, lasting results) are not as good as other irons I have tried and own (ghd, Remington slimline ceramic, Remington W2S).
<br>
<br>I do however find it strange that my comments have been truncated time and time again even when I have made zero reference to the company I purchased the irons from.
<br>
<br>Anyway, it is up to the individual to decide for themselves but IMHO I believe there are much better irons around than T3.

Chris N. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! For stepping in and clarifying the relevant points about this site.
<br>
<br>Googs, I hope that you will realise that, you may have your opinion about the t3 but the majority that LOVE their t3 because it suits their hair type, (which is most who have reviewed the irons on this website) dont have a problem with it.
<br>
<br>So accusing me of being an affiliate to a company or continually saying the t3 is not good, does not change the fact that t3 irons are good for most people. And really the issue is that the t3 irons are not good FOR YOU.
<br>
<br>Thank you babrahams for highlighting the relevant points about Googs' campaign on slurring my review.
<br>
<br>I've had my irons for months, my thick, frizzy, unruly, simply MAD uncontrollable hair is the bane of my life, but with my t3 straightening irons, I consistently get more compliments on how shiny, healthy, sleek and lovely my hair looks, more importantly the ease of getting good results with my straightening irons has improved since I switched from a GHD to a T3.
<br>
<br>That is the long and short of it. As well as the irons you use, if you want excellent straight results, most people should:
<br>
<br>*use a good nourishing shampoo and hydrating conditioner
<br>*get your hair trimmed every 6-8weeks
<br>*use your irons with some moisture in your hair
<br>*use protective serum every time you use your irons
<br>*use an intensive hydrating conditioning mask on ur hair every few months

<br>dnsse, made a comment that if you have thicker hair the irons work better, I have thick hair and so I agree that thicker hair is maybe more resilient to take the high temperature that the t3 can attain. But at the same time, those with thinner hair, if they use a protective serum suited to their hair type as well as keeping the heat lower, the majority should get the same results.
<br>
<br>Thank you again, Chris N. and babrahams.

Zara quote "dnsse, made a comment that if you have thicker hair the irons work better".
<br>I think that is correct.
<br>
<br>My hair is fine and I have a lot of it.
<br>The T3's are horrid on my hair.
<br>
<br>My friend in Aus that also had terrible results also has lots of fine hair.
<br>
<br>Perhaps the message to all is that if you have wild, out of control frizzy thick hair then they'll be great but if you have hair in top condition that is fine in texture then the T3's won't do much for you.

Sorry Googs, yet again I have to disagree with you - surprise surprise. I have quite fine hair but a lot of it. The T3s work remarkably on my hair.
<br>
<br>They leave my hair poker straight, extremely soft and amazingly shiny and I don't need to use a protective serum - I get comments where ever I go when I wear my hair down and have straightened it with my T3s, so your theory about only working on thick hair is out the window. The results also last ALLDAY - I can finally wear my hair down and feel confident that by the end of the night, my hair still looks as good as when I went out.
<br>
<br>My hairdresser also only uses T3s - this is where I bought mine from, and they agree - they work on all types of hair and give excellent results everytime. They will not use any other straightner, and they are an extremely successful hairdressers, and they have not had one single complaint when using the T3s - and are constantly selling out of them!
<br>
<br>I could not be happier - it is the best investment I have ever made. Much better than GHD anyday - and most people are now binning their GHDs because their results cannot come anywhere near T3s.
Shame that you have had such a dud pair, because if they had work properly I do think you would have been really happy with them, like you were in the beginning. I would seriously think about sending them back directly to T3 - not the people you purchased them from, they will refund your postage, and you will get back a pair of working straightners. Just a suggestion but I definitely think it would be worth it, to then get excellent results, and hair that you would be happy with.

It is a great suggestion babrahams.
<br>Good to hear they work for your hair which is similar to mine.
<br>I obviously have a dud pair.
<br>
<br>I would post them back in a heartbeat, but they will not refund postage. And, at over 20pounds for me to post them over, I can't come to pay that much.
<br>
<br>They will post them back at no charge but I have to pay to get them there.
<br>
<br>Yeah, so I don't know what to do.
<br>Maybe I should just send them back ............. over 20pounds is a lot though.

Hi Googs
<br>
<br>Surely if you have forked out for the T3s, which if truth be known are quite expensive, it would be worth the £20 to send them back. I would be heartbroken to have forked out all that money and for them not to work. I agree that yes you have already forked out for the T3s and why should you pay any more, but I can't help thinking that is it such a waste not to send them back.
<br>
<br>Honestly, my hair is quite fine and I had loads of it, and I cannot rate highly enough the results I get from them. If you paid the £20 for the postage and got a pair that really work, this would work out cheaper than buying another pair of GHDs which can, sometimes, be even more expensive.
<br>
<br>£20 is a lot of money for postage, but cheaper than having to buy another pair of straightners, that may not work as well. I truly would like you to see just how good the T3s really are.
<br>
<br>It is just a suggestion, but I have never had such good results with my hair, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. You must be pretty fed up paying out all that money for them not to work - I would not be happy either. Perhaps worth looking into though. Maybe if you emailed them, they could arrange to have them collected from you?? Worth a try. Hope you get it sorted.

Hi Googs and babrahams....
<br>
<br>
<br>I agree with babrahams, the T3 is a great straightener, and its a shame that you aren't getting the same results as we are. And over this weekend, my cousin got married, she has fine hair and I styled her hair for her reception and my T3 worked a treat for her hair too!!
<br>
<br>As I had only previously only used the irons on those with thicker hair and my own hair IS thick, I had to agree that T3's DO work well on thick hair, but as I have now used them on my cousin's fine hair, I agree with babrahams that the irons work just as well on fine hair. In short, when you have a pair of T3's in working order, they work well on most hair types!
<br>
<br>I definitely think its worth sending them back, SDL Hair Limited will most likely send you a token of goodwill like a bottle of serum/mousse etc to at least PARTLY reimburse the trouble of sending the irons back to them.
<br>
<br>Go on Googs, send 'em back, its worth the investment. :)

Hiya guys. I've been reading all of your comments, and I've got to admit that I don't find the T3 hair straighteners half as good as the GHD's. But after having 2 pairs at £120 a time, and both failing, I guessed I had better take a different option. My T3's cost me £30. So for that, I can not complain. But I still insist that GHD's are still far better. My thick, long blonde hair was in far better condition.

“These irons are quite good. ”
Written on: 14/06/2005 by Googs (1 review written)
These irons are quite good.
The thing I most like about them is that they are quite gentle on the hair and they don't seem to get as hot as some others.
The variable temp is great.
They leave the hair very soft and unlike traditional irons dont' seem to dry out the hair as much.
The plates on my irons do not line up properly, which is causing me problems as i keep having to try to align them as I straighten.
I live in Australia and am having issues with returning them to the company I...

Have now heard back from T3 and their customer service has been fantastic. Can't say much for the company I purchased them from though!!!
<br>Looks like I have no choice but to post them back to T3 to be fixed/replaced as the plates do not align and they do not touch properly (they have air inbetween them).
But, to post them via courier will cost me 23 pounds!!!! I can't believe it. The company I bought them from isn't helping me out with this (so far). Be careful girls!!! I am trying to explain that they should not be able to post faulty goods to me and then expect ME to pay postage back. Dodgy!!! Hopefully they will pay for the postage, or reimburse me.
Hopefully, when all this is over, i will have T3's that work properly !! Yay.
They do work well when I can 'push' them into line. But it takes me so long to do my hair because of this.

Hi Googs,
<br>
<br>Well I will agree that the aftersales service of the T3 manufacturers (SDL Ltd) is better than SOME of the retailers of the T3 (you know who i mean). But overall, I didn't really have a negative experience with them. The return to postage charge was a bit steep for you as you are in Australia but again, I didn't encounter this problem either. So shall we say TRUCE???

T3 is the best straithener I've ever had. My hair is so smooth and straight. I love it!!..
Today was my first experience with T3 and the results were fantastic!
I'm a little bit concerned if it's used regulary,that it can damage the hair after some time??

Written on: 02/06/2005 by stephyo (1 review written)
Bought my T3 straighteners just over a month ago after my other (Kodo) hair straighteners broke. Was a bit dubious at first as i did not know the make and had been leaning towards GHDs.
However, i was won over by the claim of tourmaline technology and customer reviews and so bought them. I can honestly say i have had no problems with them! they are as good as my old pair and presumably as good as any of the top end 210 degree straighteners on the market. I especially appreciate the...

I too have found the same problem with the 3 Tourmaline Straighteners. I'd advise people not to buy them, especially if you have thick hair!! It doesn't straighten my hair properly!!!
