With mammoth of a hair, I’m telling you right now that it takes a village to style my hair. Okay that’s totally pun but seriously, my day-to-day ‘do is pretty much laid-back, either pony tail or barrette bun (tutorial here). Now that doesn’t mean I’m a gadget snob because I have quite a stash, enough to convert my woman cave to a demi- hair salon. The latest to grace my fancy-nation? say hello to T3 Twirl 360!
Give your wrist a rest, that’s how I can succinctly describe this chicest and coolest hair tool! With motion-sensing technology, the barrel auto-rotates as you move your hand towards your desired direction. It takes practice to perfect the craft but really, it ain’t that hard to learn the basics: turn on power, clamp hair, push button, curl from the bottom, move hand away, unclamp to release. I prepared a short video because showing is believing…
Presentation-wise, I like the combination of white barrel and rose gold embellishment. It’s mod and sleek at the same time. It has five heat settings and two speed levels, something to consider depending on your “skill level”. Quote unquote because the first time I tried this gadget, some strands got tangled, haha! For the most part, curls or waves are determined by your hair vulnerability. Meaning, some sections are wow, some are okay, some so-so. What ultimately worked for me though is to work in small sections, twist for extra reinforcement, clamp from the bottom, push button to curl, release button to stop (as shown in the video).
The barrel measures 1.25 inches which renders big and relaxed waves. If you have straight and limp hair, you will love this. For wavy-haired gals like me, you may not notice significant difference except for more polished and thrice-smoother waves. Here’s a before and after photo for your better judgement.
EDIT 11/8/15 : The makers of T3 have issued a voluntary recall in cooperation with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada following reports of injuries/ burn hazard associated with the clamp falling while the product is in use. While I have not personally experienced the aforementioned defect, I won’t be using this anymore and I encourage you to do the same in case you own it. Safety first before anything.
Interesting. My hair's probly not mlong enough to make a difference tho hahah
Straight and limp hair? That's mine! I love your results, and can't wait to try out this curler.
Great video! This looks like a dream curler for me 🙂
I love the soft waves! Your hair is always gorgeous. Thanks for the video tutorial, looks like the Micro Twirl is fairly easy to use!
Beautiful hair appliance that gave you a subtle but lovely change
Your hair looks amazing, twinsy! It seems as though the trick is to work in small sections!
Your hair is gorgeous like this!
Where was this when I had longer hair? I kinda wish I went back to long hair just to play with this.
Your hair looks stunning!
I'm a wurly who could use some smoothing and defuffing of my natural waves. This could work for me. Great review!
I really love this curling iron! The volume, curl… it's all on point for me! You look gorgeous, as usual!
Very pretty. You have the most gorgeous hair!
Your hair looks so pretty.
I notice a difference and I like it. I think everything is smoother and more polished looking on your beautiful hair.
Eeks! Your hair looks GORGEOUS! I cannot wait to get mine! My hair is about as long as yours and I can NEVER get it to curl, which is ironic since it IS curly. 🙂
Your hair is sooo gorgeous!
It really gave you a blow out look!
Your hair is so long and pretty – the T3 definitely smoothed it out and gave it a nice wave.
Your hair looks like it would be perfect for a "romantic" night after using the T3!
I am living for the waves you created with this awesome gadget and that hair needs its own parade! Wowza.
Your results look so comfy!
You look absolutely fabulous – such soft and sweet curls for a romantic look. I can't wait to get mine and try it – I don't use heat on my hair hardly… but this sounds like something I would enjoy.
Love the white and gold combo and your hair looks lovely!
Wonderful! I have long hair and am so afraid to curl it because my hair might burn or break off.
Wonderful! so afraid to curl my long hair because it might break off, but this is the ticket
Your hair is gorgeous! The Twirl 360 looks so well put together, I love the design!
