T-3 Professional Salon Hair Dryer

In boarding school, my morning began with a shower, followed by a 100-yard walk from my dorm to the school building — often in sub-zero New England weather. Had I dried my hair? Are you kidding? Like my classmates, I didn’t even wear a coat.

A curious thing happened during that half-minute walk. My hair froze. And when it defrosted, it was as if it had been professionally styled — it lay flat and orderly. All day, too.

Old habits die hard. I still go out with wet hair and “air dry.” I’ve never used a dryer. To the frustration of my barber, my haircut ritual ends before heat is applied. I really, seriously, don’t care about this stuff.

So why, now, am I enthused about an expensive hair dryer that I have never used?

Because a reader — a high-powered woman in media; you’ve seen her hair — wrote me to say my wife would adore me forever if I gave her a T3 Bespoke Labs Hair Dryer. I may be a man, but I can listen; I ordered one right away.

And it came to pass that my wife was insanely happy at 6:30 AM. Before she headed out to an office where looking good doesn’t hurt, she sometimes flipped her hair as if she’s in a commercial.

So I’m thinking, yeah, it’s the T3.

For your benefit, I asked my wife what’s great about this dryer. “It feels gentle, and yet it dries my hair faster,” she replied. “I was told I would never have another bad hair day, and I haven’t. I don’t understand how it works, but it is easier to get my hair to do what I want it to do. The only conclusion is magic.”

More from women who use the T3:

"When I looked in the mirror, my hair was nice and smooth — no flyaways. I can usually only get this look when I use shine/smoothing serum on my hair. And when I do that, I’m looking in the mirror and constantly brushing/styling as I’m drying it."

"If you are trying to justify the cost, look at it as saving money on extra conditioner for your hair."

"It’s all that’s advertised. My frizzy hair is lying down, nice and calm. From towel-dried, it dried almost completely in 10 minutes. I have almost no patience with hair dryers, so to get it almost dry at the limit of my patience is saying something."

What I conclude: If I used a hair dryer, this would be persuasive.
