T3 Lucea Professional Straightening & Styling Iron, 25 mm, Digital Ceramic Flat Iron with 9 Adjustable Heat Settings for Straight, Smooth Styles or Waves and Curls on All Hair Types

Spent £117 buying these straightners as a present for my wife's birthday but 6 weeks later they stopped working. Return time is 30 days and no way to contact anyone regarding these. Don't waste your money.

These are T3 hair straighteners with several different temperatures.I’ve never heard of the brand but when I checked up there’s several of the subscription companies that are selling the T3 products so they must be good enough to stand up to the competition.So I’m surprised the box is so flimsy for the price and it has a cheap plastic tray inside it wasn’t what I was expecting at all.The straighteners have floating plates which I always look for.It has an automatic cut off if you go out and leave it on.The controls are just one button and lights that don’t have any markings on. You need to remember which temperature each light is. I only use the coolest setting anyway as I have thin hair.It straightened my hair really well and I was pleased with the finished results. Somedays I like to use the straighteners to curls my hair and that was possible with these too.The plastic and build quality is good and they were comfortable to hold.Overall I think the straighteners are a bit basic in function and the box too flimsy for the price tag. It didn’t shout luxury to me when I handled and opened the box. I have stayed away from GHD because the temperature is too high for my hair so these are better that they’re variable and they straightened my hair very well.

Disclaimer: I am absolutely hopeless when it comes to using straighteners to curl my hair, so I can only comment on using this appliance to do its main job, i.e. straightening the hair.I have long, straight hair but I regularly use straighteners to make my hair smooth and frizz-free. I have owned GHDs in the past, which I replaced with a set of Wide Plate Cloud 9s.These T3 Lucea Straighteners are an upgrade to my Cloud 9s. They have 9 heat settings, which is more than my previous straighteners ever had. I whizzed through the various heat settings but found myself not needing to go above 7 to smooth my hair on a normal day. I imagine that I might need 8 or even 9 on a high umidity summer day, or on holiday in a tropical climate. Instead of an unattractive switch on the inside of the appliance, T3 only has one button which you use to turn the heat up or down - with LED indicators to show the heat setting. It’s a very pretty design which I think a lot of competitors will end up copying.In terms of safety, the plate never felt too hot close to my scalp as it’s very well insulated. They felt comfortable to handle for prolonged periods of time - again I can’t comment on the more complex techniques of curling - I just usually run the straighteners down my hair and that’s it.Not quite a negative but the plate of the T3 isn’t as wide as my Cloud 9 - it’s still absolutely usable for me and I have a lot of hair.All in all, I would say these T3 straighteners are just as good if not better as the two brands I have used so far. Watch out GHD, there’s a new kid in town.

My wife is very impressed with how well these straighteners work on her really thick long hair. She normally uses the large plate Ghd's which are becoming tired so i thought these would be ideal as it specifies thick hair in the advert. They arrive in a really nice illustrated box and on the reverse is a description of the technology they've used,these would make a really nice gift. On opening the box there is an envelope with the user manual and a quick tip picture leaflet,the plug and wire are wrapped in a foam to protect them even more. The straighteners have just one button to operate them,with a single press to turn them on,it then takes a double press to have control of changing the temperature with a press for each setting. The lights on the straighteners indicate the temperature and will go up and down until the correct temp is reached,which was really quick to reach number 8 for my wife's hair. The only issue she had with them was her hand kept sliding up the handle as she was using them,it could be user error or the fact they are so slippery on the handle,and due to this she found they hurt her thumb after a while as she had to grip them harder. They have super smooth Ceragloss ceramic plates for easy styling,and a nice rounded edge for some awesome curls,which she managed to get. These straighteners aren't cheap at £150.00 for them at the time of writing this review,but the speed they heat up and the ease of creating some amazing curls my wife would recommend them.

I naturally have straight hair but do like to use hair straighteners to put some waves and texture in my hair. This hair straightener works brilliantly, it doesn't take a lot of time to heat up at all. It's not heavy and easy to hold so my hand doesn't hurt after a while of styling. I like that it comes with various heat settings so you can adjust according to your liking. They're easy to store as well they don't take up much space at all. They're a great addition to my hair styling tools and super easy and convenient to use.i would however say they're on the pricey side compared to other brands, especially as they're not from a big known brand.
