T3 Tourmaline 1" Twirl Marcel Curling Iron # 83110M Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using marcel curling irons for a long time, so the style of the iron was not new to me. In the past, I've always used the Hot Tools brand (the gold colored irons). I was very happy with them. I typically use a 1-1/4" barrel but recently have been using the 1" for more curl definition.
I was planning to get a spare 1" iron to leave at my mom's house, so that would be one less item I would have to pack when visiting her. The T3 Tourmaline came up during my search. I decided to give it a shot since it was a good bit cheaper. I just figured it wouldn't be as nice and I would take this one to my mom's and continue using my Hot Tools. WRONG!!! I immediately loved the T3. It didn't take long for me to decide to use the T3 at my house and take the Hot Tools one to my mom's house.
It has a plastic tip on the end (which the Hot Tools does not), so that may help people who are new to the marcel irons. I never burn myself by grabbing the end. I usually burned the inside of my arm from holding my hair up and then getting careless and touching my arm when I was bringing the iron up to my hair. I now wear a sock on my arm (with the toes cut out), and that has saved my arm. I haven't touched it at all, though, when using the T3.
My curls are more defined with the T3 than the Hot Tools and they stay in longer. I'm not sure why this happens, but it does. I will be buying this brand in the future whenever I need replacements or decide to try another size. Oh, also, if you search online, you will find this iron for a MUCH higher price at most sites. I'm surprised it is priced so low on here in comparison to other sites. It came in a very nice box, so I'm assuming it's the "real deal". I will definitely be telling people about this iron!
UPDATE 11/15/10 ---
I loved my T3 Tourmaline marcel iron so much that I ended up replacing my 1-1/4 inch Hot Tools iron with one. I'm still amazed at how much better it curls. I haven't had any problems at all with the iron yet, so I plan to buy this brand only in the future (unless any odd issues come up). I will definitely tell anybody who mentions they are searching for a new iron about how much I love these.
