Beauty Question: Is the T3 worth the price?
I. writes:
Any comments as to the new T3 Evolution hair dryer? It’s $300 and apparently not returnable once purchased, so I’m trying to find out as much information before I purchase. Also, any comments on the Conair Infiniti Tourmaline Hair dyer? It’s $40. How does it compare to the T3?Thanks.
Hi I.! When I tried the T3 Tourmaline Professional Ionic Dryer dryer, it shorted out all of the electrical circuits in my house. I promptly put it in the box and then gave it away. I’ve heard rave reviews about it (probably deservedly so), but must admit, that little experience scared me off from even attempting to use it again! Tourmaline is a powerful ionic mineral, which is why it’s the latest thing in hair dryer technology: ionic dryers help hair dry more quickly and can help reduce damage. I would imagine that the Conair Infiniti Tourmaline Ionic Styler works well, too, although probably not as well as the T3. Personally, I think $300 is an absurd amount of money to pay for a hair dryer and I wouldn’t waste it. It will probably dry your hair faster than if you used a “regular” ionic dryer, but by what…three or four minutes? If you have money to spare or just absolutely can’t live without something that shaves a few minutes off drying time, then you’ll probably love it; if not, I’d stick with a drugstore version or purchase one like the Elchim or one of the cheaper models byBio Ionic.

I didn’t notice any difference in my hair after using the Conair Tourmaline than using my old cheap Conair blow dryer! I don’t know what all of the hype is about. Sure, it dries more quickly because it is more powerful, but it takes more electricity!! Aren’t we supposed to be going GREEN??
