T3 Hot Rollers w Clips

From:  http://www.qvc.com – $89.00

I own a T3 hair dryer and flat iron and think they are fabulous appliances; so, when I saw these I had to give them a try. I like the QVC configuration because not only does it include the base, charging cord, 4 1.25” ceramic rollers and 4 1.50” ceramic rollers, but it comes with a quilted case for storage.  You may also purchase more rollers in different sizes in sets of two rollers and two clips for $25.00.  I just purchased 2 1.75” ceramic rollers on Amazon.com.

These rollers heat to 250 degrees and the dots will change from red to white when ready.  If a roller does not heat it is because it is not on the base correctly.  Remove the roller from the base and position again. I like the tourmaline concept of all the T3 products, but the fact that these rollers are smooth vs the traditional hot roller with the little nubs was a big plus in my mind.  In my 30 years of using hot rollers, it makes no difference who makes the rollers, those little nubs make your hair frizzy.  Just not a sexy look.  The T3 hot rollers have a flocked velvet finish that smoothes the hair.

After you wash your hair and it is still damp, use whatever pump up the volume product you like.  I use Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ample Angora which is a volumizing foam.  I have fine, used to be curly now is wave-y hair; so, I use a large round boar’s hair brush when I dry my hair.  For me, it is all about no frizz.  Then I use the T3 hot rollers.

Heat up the T3 rollers making sure every red dot turns white.  Take a section of hair and MIST, not saturate, it.  I use Oribe Soft Lacquer Heat Styling Spray.  Use your favorite heat styling product or plain water in a pinch.  Roll the section and secure with a clip.  Clip at the back of the roller.  This will stabilize the roller and you will have no ridges in your hair from the clip.  As I mentioned before, the rollers heat up to 250 degrees and stay hot for twenty minutes.  If the heat is too much for your scalp, but a square of bath tissue between the roller and you.

Leave the rollers in until the white dots turn red and a few minutes longer – about 30 minutes plus total if you can.  The smooth rollers and tourmaline technology will give you soft, shiny and bouncy hair.  And NO frizz.

A great purchase.
