I compared the T3 smooth ID with the T3 Lucea 1.5, twice - once literally working on one side of my head for each, and then another time after blow drying straight to go over just the top section that is the most prone to frizz unless flat-ironed. Both were excellent at straightening, and I had a hard time to choose between them. Ultimately, the Smooth ID seemed to give just a slightly smoother finish, and the slimmer-width + more curved plates allowed for easy curling. However, I still liked the wide plates of the Lucea 1.5, and it’s ease of use. I used to have very curly/coarse thick hair that took a lot of time + high heat to straighten. Back then, I would have preferred the wider plates of the Lucea 1.5, as I generally brushed out my hair and let air dry, and then flat ironed my whole head. After a keratin treatment ~3 years ago I stopped straightening for a long while - when I tried to blow dry and flat iron my whole now my hair ended up super straight but very flat. So now I’m generally blow drying and just flat-ironing the top section that’s prone to frizz, so I have a smooth overlay, so the wider plates here are not needed as much. Still a great flat iron though, and seems very sturdy and easy to work with!
I replaced my Onpass hot tools straightening iron and this one exceeded my expectations. I curly frizz, long thick hair and this iron helps me straighten really fast. I have a 1 inch GHD straightening iron which I love but the smaller size just takes longer to do my hair.
I was not sure if I should splurge on a flat iron for my hair. But this is the best flat iron I have ever owned! It worth every penny. I love that it has nine heat setting, makes my hair soft and shiny. I also love the wide plates that are easy to glide over my hair. There is no tugging or pulling my hair. I wish I have gotten the flat iron sooner.
Exactly what I wanted. Love love love this! I was worried about the cost, but it was worth it!

I have the 1 inch version and it's the best flat iron! Heats up so fast and makes my hair beautifully shiny and so soft and silky in one pass. Takes me no time at all to straighten my wavy hair. LOVE it!!
I have super frizzy hair with the start of mixed in frizzy grays, this flat iron smooths and takes it the best I’ve ever had. I’ve tried other high end brands and this still is superior. I was hesitant to buy another high priced hair tool, but I’m so glad I did! It’s been totally worth it. My hair has never been so smooth and healthy looking.
