With the exception of a few people (who have hilarious stories of the way they walk out of a salon courtesy of their stylists) most of us have amazing looking hair after a simple blow dry and style at the salon. I use that trick on days we have professional family photos done – I’ll schedule a trim that morning and ask for a blow dry and style so my hair looks fantastic for the photos. The thing is, while stylists undoubtedly are skilled in cuts, colors and the like, styling your hair doesn’t need much training – you just need the right tools. Professional tools. Yes, they cost more but they get the job done!
I was sent the (original) T3 Featherweight Dryer, made with Tourmaline technology. What exactly is that? Tourmaline is a precious gemstone commonly found in jewelry and known as the ‘electric stone’ for its natural ability to emit ionic energy and far infrared heat when put under pressure or heated. T3 has Tourmaline infused right into the components of the dryer (it’s crushed and then baked into the componentry), it’s not sprayed on or coated as a marketing ploy. The Tourmaline negative ions seal the cuticle, locking in moisture while eliminating static and frizz. The far infrared heat penetrates the hair strand drying from the inside out— without over-scorching the surface of the hair. 
Out of 1000 users of this dryer, 98 percent said it was the best hair dryer they ever used. Add me to the list! Several features of this dryer made me a fan. First, though it’s bigger than the compact blow dryer I was previously using, it’s just as light (I can see why this would be a great feature for stylists, who use them all day). Second, it’s quiet (ever noticed how the salon dryers just hum compared to the loud blasts from department store ones?) The site states that drying time can be cut down up to 60% using this dryer. I have long, thick hair and though the drying time was not cut down by that percentage, it DID cut down the time which makes a difference to me.
The best thing about the T3 Featherweight Dryer, though, is how great it makes my hair feel. I don’t use my old dryer anymore because the difference is THAT noticeable. The T3 Featherweight Dryer makes my hair feel soft and it’s less frizzy when it’s dry. Many times when I blow dry the next step is using my flat iron because it’s out of control by that point. However, now I can skip the flat iron if I want because my hair isn’t a frizzed out mess. Granted, the flat iron is the finishing touch that makes it look sleek and styled, but as a busy mom I can get away with just blow drying it and going on with my day using the T3 Featherweight.
Ladies! Bookmark this page for the man in your life and give him a gentle nudge. The T3 Featherweight is an awesome investment with beautiful results. This is a gift that will go much further than others because you can use it daily for years. Moms of teenagers who probably already have flat irons – this is the perfect compliment to your daughter’s styling routine.
