Poker straight hair
is back on-trend, so it could be time to treat yourself to a pair of straighteners. Although, I would
never advocate using them every day, they are great for the occasional use. Be
sure to always use a heat protective spray before you start styling.
They are so many
irons out there but, in my books, the T3 SinglePass Straightening & Styling Iron
(£125, Selfridges) stands out from the crowd. It has tourmaline-infused ceramic
plates which help lock moisture into the hair, eliminate frizz and static
electricity. The bevelled plated edges don’t snag the hair.
The T3 SinglePass
Straightening & Styling Iron is incredibly light. It heats up quickly and retains
a constant temperature and so heat is dispersed evenly into the hair. The power
button and adjustable thermostat are on the inside of the irons, so you have to
be careful when using them. For areas where hair is finer such as around the
face and fringe you should use a lower heat setting so you don’t fry your hair.
Another great plus is that it comes with a heat resistant mat.
One pass should be
sufficient to straighten your hair. Putting it through several times is really
not good for your tresses. Read the instructions carefully before you start
using them. If you don’t use them correctly, your beloved straightners could
turn into your hair’s worst enemy by ravaging it.
While some other
expensive leading brands on the market, have left my hair looking flat and
lifeless, the T3 SinglePass Straightening & Styling Iron didn’t strip it of
all its body. In fact, it looked really natural and soft after using it. After
several uses it hasn’t frazzled my locks.
I like the fact that
you can achieve curly and wavy looks as well. It is also ideal for flipping the
hair, which is also a great look as it is softer than dead straight hair. It
also comes with a two-year guarantee, so be sure to complete your warranty
registration.
For
tress-perfecting, T3 SinglePass Straightening & Styling Iron is hard to
beat.
