T3 Elevate
Heat-Seeking Volumizer
Nineteen bucks ain’t cheap
Hair can appear flat
When flat irons work too well
That’s why you exist
Said to boost volume
When sprayed on limp or thin hair
Either wet or dry
Comb from roots to ends
Then bust out the flat iron
I tried it on mine…
My ‘do was straight — yes
But felt hella crunchy, too
As for volume? Meh
I think I’ll stick to
Straight Sexy Hair Flat Iron
For smooth, shiny locks
MBB Rating…
C 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

June 22nd, 2010 at 10:18 amhaha those were some good haikus ( i think…if I remember my haikus right) lol. but I actually got the T3 Elevate for my bday and I’d never heard of it before, but I can tell you this much: it’s useless! Have u ever tried Sally Hershberger’s Style Primer? Ive used it a few times, and i don’t know maybe it’s just me but it kinda left my hard dry and crunchy..any1 else tried it?

June 22nd, 2010 at 10:20 amI haven’t tried that one!
If you flat iron often the Straight Sexy Hair product might be worth your time. I loooove it! The only thing is it’s hard to find.

June 22nd, 2010 at 11:14 amI completely agree Karen. T3 makes great dryers even if they are way too expensive. I don’t like their styling products at all.

June 22nd, 2010 at 9:14 pmHi Sarahc,
I’m a huge, HUGE fan of T3 appliances, so I was really hoping to love this.

June 22nd, 2010 at 11:17 amI got this for $5.99 at Marshalls the other day! I have only used it once. My hair feels ok, I also used other stuff in my hair prior to blow drying, so once I used this to flat iron, I am not sure which of the products made my hair shiny. I dont feel like its crunchy though….but then again, I didnt spray alot of it on. I am going to have to try it a few mor times before I can officially give it a thumbs up or down! haha

June 22nd, 2010 at 9:14 pmHi Diana S.,
Let me know if it ends up working well for you!

June 22nd, 2010 at 11:27 amYou are so creative !!! Sad tho that the thing-o doesnt work. Im still using the Phyto Straightening Balm (I just got the travel tube and it lasts forevarrr!!!) … its okay. Not earth shattering great but it works. I still prefer the Fekkai Ironless Balm. That is an awesome product … no flat ironing needed! 🙂
Karen says
June 22nd, 2010 at 9:14 pmHi Nina,
I feel the same way about the Phyto balm. That line does make some great shampoos and conditioners, though.
I haven’t tried the Fekkai stuff yet… right now I’m stuck on their Summer Hair products. LOVE THEM!
Nina says
June 23rd, 2010 at 5:10 amFekkai products are pretty awesome arent they? I also like that they came up with a mid price line thats sold at some grocery/drug stores. Kinda makes them more approachable. 🙂
I did get a Phyto shampoo/conditioner together w/ the balm – and yep they are great… 🙂
Karen says
June 23rd, 2010 at 8:47 amI’ve a few of their styling items and like them a lot. I’ve still yet to try their shampoos/conditioners (I’m more of a Bumble kinda girl).
It’s been years since I’ve used a Phyto shamp/cond… do they still come in those nice glass bottles?
Nina says
June 23rd, 2010 at 10:12 amThe Intelligent Shampoo does…. im trying to not use it all up in one go because its so spendy! 🙂

Too bad on the crunchy hair…

🙂 Thanks! How’s your week going so far?
lexi says
June 22nd, 2010 at 1:28 pmI got this for $5.99 too at Marshall’s it works with my cheap flat iron from Target. Maybe I don’t mind this spray too much because I didn’t pay full price for it. Ha sorry!
Karen says
June 22nd, 2010 at 9:13 pmHi Lexi,
OOOH GURL, speaking of Marshall’s, I just saw some Prada shoes there the other day and they were super cute!
Tiffany says

That product is a miracle in a bottle. I love it, but unfortunately it’s hard to find!
