T3 SinglePass Straightening Iron review

The T3 SinglePass Straightening Iron has become a firm favourite with celebrities and hair experts all over the world, and it’s with good reason too.

Having witnessed his girlfriend waste fortunes on costly hair products, only to then blast her locks with tress-traumatising dryers and straightening irons, T3 founder Kent Yu set about creating his revolutionary range of heat-styling tools.

Here’s what we think of the T3 SinglePass Straightening Iron.

Design

The award-winning flat iron is favoured by stylists to straighten, flip, and curl in one quick pass. The T3 SinglePass Straightening Iron works fast to style sleek straight hair, polished curls or cascading waves for shiny, head-turning, damage-free looks.

Sleek in design, they look like a cracking pair of straighteners but when it comes to hairstyling, looks aren’t important, it’s all about the results. Thankfully the T3 SinglePass Straightening Irons deliver. In fact, four out of five people experienced faster styling times with good to excellent straightening when they used their T3 flat iron.

The plates on this hair straightener are made from ceramic and tourmaline, giving you the benefits of both materials when it comes to hair straightening.

Impregnated with Tourmaline, known as the ‘electric stone’ for its astonishing ability to generate negative, water-dispersing ions – the SinglePass Flat Iron banishes any residual, frizz-inducing water molecules, to combat static and leave even wiry locks looking smooth, sleek and shiny with an advert-worthy ‘swooosh’.

The ceramic enables the flat iron to reach and maintain high, consistent heat. The heat turns coarse and curly hair into straight strands.

In combination with the extreme heat, these help to reduce friction when the hair passes through the straightener, giving the strands a smoother sheen without damaging them.

Heat

Digital technology monitors plate temperature in real-time. As a result, the single pass delivers fast, accurate and consistent heating to style hair and seal the cuticle in one smooth pass. Fast styling protects the hair against damage often arising from repeated passes, thus enhancing the natural benefits of tourmaline technology shiny, smooth, frizz-free tresses.

The ultra-high temperature and snag-free ceramic surface allow for super-fast styling with minimal hair stress, so your locks look healthy and stay that way, thanks to T3’s efficiency and the long-lasting results, which eliminate the need for constant touch-ups.

The Microchip brain constantly monitors the plate temperatures to give you the same level of heat the entire time you are using it, preventing over or under heating, and damage due to over-styling.

Summary

Winner of a coveted ‘Editor’s Choice’ award from esteemed beauty bible Allure, the SinglePass Straightening & Styling Iron allows you to achieve super-sleek, enviably glossy straight or wavy styles, whatever your hair type or texture.

With revolutionary digital SinglePass Technology – which enables precise, consistent heat distribution up to 232°C (450°F) – you can quickly smooth and straighten even especially coarse, unruly hair without tugging or scorching it into submission. Tourmaline-infused ceramic plates emit the maximum level of negative ions, to eliminate residual frizz-causing moisture and seal each cuticle with a single stroke; minimising hair damage and enhancing shine for the ultimate, mirror-like, poker-straight mane or headful of tumbling, beautifully defined waves.

Sali Hughes – The Guardian Beauty Editor says: “Hair straighteners are a daily part of many women’s beauty routines, so it’s important to use a model that’s as kind as possible to hair. These T3 ceramics are loved by beauty experts and heat in just six seconds, delivering sleek, shiny hair in one stroke. Hair feels soft and healthy afterwards. Great for creating curls and waves too.”

The Lovecats Inc says: “Does it work in a single pass? Yup, it does. I have mine turned just below full whack and it makes easy work of straightening my hair and keeping it that way all day. My hair always looks healthy after I’ve used the T3 Single Pass.”

There are many good hair straighteners on the market and any number of them should work suitably on your hair. However, if you’re seeking a flat iron infused with tourmaline that has a proven track record of exceptional performance, you should consider the T3 SinglePass Straightening Iron.

How to use your straightening iron

Individual results will vary. Often times, the highest temperature settings may produce the most desirable results.
First-time users should always start at a lower heat setting. Gradually raise the temperature based on hair type and desired result.
For better results, style hair in sections—working from the bottom to top of the head.
After styling, comb through hair with fingers for a more natural style.
Clean the plates by carefully wiping with the heat-resistant cleaning mat while the plates are warm and dry.
Appropriate styling products, such as shine serums, holding sprays, or styling pomades, can be safely used in conjunction with T3 tools.

Brush: Use a brush or comb to untangle the hair ends.
Set Dial: Press the Power button to turn on. Adjust temperature dial to the desired level. When the red indicator light stops blinking, the plates have reached the temperature set and the iron is ready to use.
Clamp:  Take a 1″ section of hair and pull it taut. Clamp section close to the roots between the plates.
Glide: Glide iron through in the direction of hair growth at a speed slower than when brushing hair. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until hair is fully styled.
Precautions: Do not wrap the power cord around the iron as this may damage the electrical wiring.
