T3 Tourmaline   Palacinka Product Rating Guide 

 

 

T3 Micro Tourmaline Ceramic Iron 3/4 

T3 Micro Tourmaline Ceramic Iron 3/4 with Rounded Ionic Plates, Model 83934

Tester: Hispanic (Dominican), with medium, relaxed hair that is also color treated and dry. 

"What a great iron! This iron just glides through my hair, no pulling or snagging. It is incredibly smooth and leaves my hair feeling the same way. The best part is that the iron heats up quickly and actually stays hot so that I don't have to go over and over the same section of hair.   I love that when I use it my hair stays straight throughout the entire day (even through humid summer days) without having to touch up. I would definitely recommend the T3 to anyone looking for a new flat iron (that can also curl!) It takes me half the time to do my hair and it looks a million times better now. People have commented to me how healthy my hair looks.

The heat is adjustable, which comes in handy, because not everyone needs 410 degrees to straighten their hair. I foundd between 350 and 370 worked really well on my relaxed hair. It also left my hair very glossy, smooth and healthy looking. The iron is also incredibly lightweight, which is great for travel or even bringing to the office for a touch up.   I use my iron several times a week, for both flat ironing and also creating a nice "bump" on the ends of my hair, and at the crown to give it more body after my blowout, since it also curls!"

T3 Micro Tourmaline Wet-To-Dry Iron 1 3/4 

T3 Micro Tourmaline Wet-To-Dry Iron 1 3/4 , Model 83922


Tester: Hispanic (Cuban), with thick natural curly/wavy hair similar to Michelle Rodriquez that is also highlighted and dry.  Flat irons hair about 1x week.

" I LOVE IT!! After my first few uses, each time my hair felt and looked amazing!!  I've tired so many flatirons that nothing seems to work. My hair would come out thick, and with straw like hair... I tired this out on my dry, scrunched hair it came out SUPER SILKY straight. Its AWESOME and does exactly what it says!!  What I would do is "detangle" small areas, apply a heat protection spray and with just a few swipes of the iron it was smooth, silky and straight hair all the way. Salon PERFECT! I also used it on damp hair and it still comes out silky salon perfect all the time too. You hear this frying sound and you think "oh my god, my hair's frying!" And all this steam comes out. But when you feel your hair, you can most certainly tell that it's not damaged.  It's like using a steamer to get wrinkles out of your clothes, but for your hair. I love Tourmaline. This also leaves my hair glossy and shiny. I don't know how and I don't care! I can now have "Catherine Zeta Jones" straight hair! Yes, it is worth the price...Run your fingers through my hair and you would be so jealous...(smile)" T.G.

T3 Micro 1800W Tourmaline II Ionic Hair Dryer, Model 83808se

T3 Micro 1800W Tourmaline II Ionic Hair Dryer, Model 83808se

Tester #1 - Hispanic (Dominican) with long, wavy hair which is frequently blown straight.

"I know you are all wondering with great anticipation.... can this dryer really be worth a staggering $200, or is it simply hype?  I must say, after my using this hair dryer for several weeks, that this lovely little dryer is TRULY the goddess of all dryers. It's really lightweight for any dryer, amazingly so when you consider the thundering 1800 watts of power it has. I found that it indeed did dry my hair in at least half the time, if not even a bit faster. I also noticed my scalp was less dry and generally just felt better, and my hair looked so much shiner. BTW -my hair looked just as good on the second day, which is unusual for me.  I am SO happy this dryer found its way into my life...I will NEVER let it go! :) V.H.

Tester #2- African-American with shoulder length, dry relaxed hair which breaks easily.

"Yes, this is a great dyer that is light and easy to use, but, the real clincher is what it did for my hair! I experienced smoother, shinier tresses with the very first use!  I've been using this dryer now for several weeks, it is wonderful!!!! It controls the frizzies so well, and dries my hair SO quickly (which means less heat damage ladies!).  I found those pesky flyaways almost completely disappeared, and there was much less breakage while drying.

Best of all, I found that  I no longer need to follow the dryer with the flat iron, a GREAT time saver (and much better for chemically treated hair!). It is a little expensive, but it is worth every penny and is a great investment for your hair.  If you blow-dry your hair often, especially if your hairs tends to get frizzy, this dryer out performs all other I have tried - thanks T3!"

Farouk Deep Brilliance Palacinka Product Rating Guide 

 The Farouk Deep Brilliance line was created for women of color with textured hair.
 
   Deep Brilliance Ceramic Flat Iron
   
Tester: African-American with shoulder length naturally wavy hair hair of medium thickness.  Dry and color treated.
 
"My hair is naturally wavy, with a VERY strong curl pattern in the back of my head, and this is only iron that can smooth my hair completely. Best of all, it takes two minutes to heat up and about 10 minutes to finish my very thick hair.   If you desire a straight, sleek, SHINY look, this is the iron for you!  You won't regret it! With other flat irons straighteners it took at least 30 minutes (if not longer) to straighten my hair. With the Deep Brilliance it takes about 10 minutes. My hair is so shiny and smooth too. I use the V05 Miracle Mist to protect my hair and it works great. This flat iron utilizes "moist heat: so my hair didn't feel fried like it has in the past after using other straighteners. I'm so excited to have this flat iron in my life!" L.M.

 Deep Brilliance Ceramic Hair Dryer

 

 

Tester: Hispanic (Dominican) with thick long relaxed hair blown dry an average of 2x week.  Also very dry.

 

"I've always been of the mindset that as long as the dryer has a very high wattage, and I applied enough tension with my brush, I could get a very nice, sleek, smooth blow out with just about any old hair dryer.  After trying this Deep Brilliance hair dryer, I now know nothing could be farther from the truth!  Usually, when I wash my hair, I towel dry for at least thirty minutes before blow drying it, otherwise it takes half an hour to get it dry, and if I do blowdry it while it's soaking wet, it always ends up kind of coarse.

 

However, the first time I tried this dryer, I was seriously pressed for time so I just turned it on the minute I got out of the shower. What happened in the next five minutes completely stunned me. Not only was my hair completely dry in the five minutes that I mentioned, but it was INCREDIBLY soft, shiny, and silky to boot!!! When I arrived at work, the FIRST thing my co-workers said was how great my hair looked! If that isn't confirmation that this hairdryer is a miracle worker, then I don't know what is. Every time I used it, my hair looked like my stylist did it.   I am so in love w/ this dryer. Thanks Farouk!" - J.M.   Go-->Deepbrilliance.com

White Sands   Palacinka Product Rating Guide 

     White Sands Velcro Strips + Liquid Texture *Exclusive Review!

Tester: African-American with dry, fine, shoulder length relaxed hair. 

"The first time I saw these I knew that I HAD to try them!  The rollers actually come flat and then roll up to the size that you need? GENIUS!  There are two large, featherweight strips which turn into jumbo size rollers, two medium strips and then two small strips. On one side they are a soft nylon material, and on the other they are velcro.  (Note: When you roll them you need to keep the velcro on the inside or the velcro will pull your hair).  They also come with 6 long black pins to keep them in place after rolling the hair.  I tried these after my weekly blow out, putting some of the Liquid Texture in soft hold on the ends of my hair to help set and hold the curl.  About an hour later my hair was filled with big bouncy (no crunchie or dry) curls that lasted all day.  The other great thing about these strips is that you can also use them to create nice waves by placing them on top of the section of your hair that you want to wave (about 2-3 inches wide) bending it like a wide noodle (instructions on the box give a great detailed explanation), I also used the liquid texture and a little heat from the blow dryer to set it and voila - nice soft waves that were soft and shiny!  Obviously these are great for travel and because they don't require much heat when used with the liquid texture they also prevent heat damage from using a curling iron or hot rollers.  This is a must have now for me!"
