T3 shoppers tend to search by barrel size, and that is the right place to start. A 1 inch barrel makes defined curls, 1.25 inch gives soft lived-in curls and 1.5 inch makes big, loose waves. After size, the T3 range splits by how the barrel works. The SinglePass Curl X uses an extra-long clip barrel, the Curl ID adds HeatID setting suggestions and a touch screen, the CurlWrap rotates the barrel for you, and the Switch Kit swaps between three clip barrels. Every model here lists 9 heat settings, but none of these listings state the actual temperatures, so check the current listing if top heat matters to you. This guide compares seven T3 curling irons by barrel size, settings, barrel type, ion generator and the feature that sets each apart.
