Question

How long to heat up?

How long does this flat iron take to heat up?? I just bought it, am using it for the first time right now, and it has been on for almost 15 minutes, and the red light still is not blinking. Instructions say red light is blinking when flat iron reaches the right temp/is ready to use. What's the deal?

It should heat up and "blink" within 2-3 minutes, tops. I hate to say, doesn't sound like it's working right. If you haven't already, do call the 1-800 number on the box......good luck!

My straighener takes less than a minute to heat up. It blinks while it is heating, then once fully heated it will stop blinking and be a solid pink / red.

I have had this flat iron for 2 years and I have very coarse curly (relaxed) hair and living in seattle half of the year my hair barely gets poofy even when raining. It may curl a tad bit at the ends, but its still straight enough to walk into a room full of people and me not have to worry about how it looks or being embarrassed. While in Scottsale my hair is still perfect no fly aways no static. Best iron ever!

I find my hair stays straight when foggy and humid. My hair is naturally wavy and fine. When very humid it seems fine, but more fly aways are apparent, though when raining it seems to curl at the ends just a little. But if your hair is thicker or curly it will probably affect it more.

And iron isn't going to do that by itself. It's up to the products you apply to your hair to beat humidity and dampness.

Is 450 degrees damaging to your hair?

I read that heat is heat no matter what Iron you use and that the hotter you turn up the heat the more damage there is to your hair?

Depending on your hair it could be. My hair is chemically relaxed but it still gets a little poofy and what not after I blow dry it. I usually set it to 450 to straighten it after blow drying. I don't wash my hair for 3 days after because my hair needs to be dirty due to it being so dry and I set the heat half way for all the other touch ups and it works perfectly. I wouldn't recommend using it at 450 everyday. Plus living in AZ my hair is dry enough as it is! But no my hair is not fried in any way shape or form. Hope this helps!

I think it depends on your hair texture. Im african american and I have course hair with no relaxer, 450 deg is perfect for me because my hair is course and curly. Some people cannot take this much heat. In the beginning, when I started to use a flat iron, I would test my hair as far as how much heat I can take. I good thing about the ceramic irons is that it would not burn your hair like a stove curling iron because of the tourmaline/ceramic technology. Also, if you are someone who curls your hair everyday, it is always wise to use a heat styling product that protects your hair from the heat. Too much of anything over time may not be good.

My hairdresser always advising me not to go past 350 degrees on the curling on for general use. She said only the professionals should go higher as I could damage my hair. With that being said - I go to 400 degrees and sometimes higher - however, I don't do this everyday. My hair is not damaged but then my hair type is curly coarse so it is stronger than most. I would recommend speaking to a professional hairstylist.

450 degrees can be damaging to your hair, but there are heat protectants that you can use to help shied your hair. It will most likely make your hair dry (the straightner, I mean) if you use it often at the highest setting. I like Aveda's smooth infusion with a built in heat protectant, but you use that on wet hair, then blow dry and straighten.

I struggle with this too. This flat iron rocks, but I absolutely don't know how anyone could possibly curl their hair with it! I think if you want the job done, you will have to use a curling iron in addition to the straightener.

answer 2

A hair straightener or flat iron can do both. It does take some dexerity practice in order to curl and not leave dents in the hair. My hair dresser does both with the straightener, flat iron and curl. You can do spiral curls or just have a bump....

i really liked my big barrel curling iron and rarely used my flat iron. when my curling iron broke, i thought i could eliminate both items and replace it with the T3 styler. i was the best decision i ever made. the curls/waves i get form the T3 is exactly the type of curls/waves i have always wanted. it took a couple of practice runs but once you get a hang of it, it's pretty easy. and it is an excellent straightener. because it heats up so fast, you rarely need to do more than one pass. it has different settings so you can adjust to what works best for your hair type.

Depends on the length of your hair. I found that when I had shoulder length to longer hair I used my straightening iron and created curls and waves! It is great this way. Now my hair is shorter - to my jaw. I can use the straightening iron to crip it, and flip it and make sharp angles to create height and a different look, however, I don't use it to make curls. I have not used a curling iron in years. I don't like having another item to use. A blowdryer and straightening iron is all I need. Hope this helps.

This should not be used on wet hair, it may seem like saving time but the outcome is disasterous, the damage done is ten times the damage done on just dry hair.

I have a friend who bought the sultra and she has about the same type of hair as you described and she returned it and bought the single pass after using mine. I've had many chi irons and my hair dresser has a GHD and I honestly like my T3 way better than anything else. Its simple to use and easy to manuver.

I have switched to the sultra wicked pink (i have thin hair) and have been much happied with the results. The t3 did not hold up to the florida humidity. The sultra gets my hair much straighter, holds up to the humidty, and gives my hair a silky healthy appearance. The T3 did not hold up to the florida humidity, but the sultra did.

Yes it is! And that's exactly why I bought it in the first place. I took it with me on my honeymoon all over Asia and the Middle East and it worked great. I've traveled to so many different countries this past year, and my T3 is as new as ever. No need to remember to switch it from 210 to 110, it does it automatically.
