The ceramic barrel is smooth on my hair. There are different heating settings which is great for my fine hair. Wide thumb clip pusher easy to use. It also just looks beautiful.
I recently used this on my trip to Europe and had no problems once I used my converter. It styles nicely, feels nice in my hand and is pretty to look at. I like that you can touch the end of the iron.
As an 18 year veteran hairstylist, I finally broke away from my go-to professional tools and bought a T3. Cannot say enough about this iron. Hair stays curled for days or until I wash it. Bonus if you are using professional hair products and pin or Velcro roll your curls to set. A++
Works great on my straight Asian hair. I have hair almost down to my waist and the iron produces loose curls which are almost like waves once I brush out the curls with my fingers.
