My personal thoughts: Other than Amika, there is no hair tool brand I trust more than T3. I have used several blowdryers to their last hot gasps of air, and some of my T3 tools have seen me through hair-related turmoil and tantrums. I’ve also tried lots of heated brushes which felt like dragging a hot rake through my hair. Many ripped it out, caused breakage and didn’t do anything in the long run. My hair is thicccccc, y’all, so not every brush is built for it — and trust me, I’ve broken plenty of them. But T3 didn’t let me down in the slightest. Because it looks and feels like a hairbrush, this is naturally intuitive to use, but it didn’t yank out my hair, thanks to the nylon bristles, and there are two heat settings. The medium setting was great for a quick smoothing effect and the highest setting gave me the sleek style I try to achieve with a hot comb, a flat iron, and what’s remaining of my spirit. Again, my main concern here is the size. I’d prefer it if the same brush came in a smaller size, like a Denman brush. That said, I adjusted by working with smaller sections on a lower heat and then running it through my hair on the higher heat setting to set everything in place.
