I’m pretty picky about hair tools, especially curling irons. I don’t want to spend time curling my hair only to end up with stiff curls that fall flat before I’m even done getting ready. I want bounce, movement and curls that still look soft and natural. The T3 SinglePass Curl is the one I reach for when I want exactly that.

The funny thing is, I rarely pay full price for it. I keep an eye out for one of those occasional 25%-off deals and wait until I see the discount before buying it. I’ve tried enough curling irons to know that a sale alone isn’t a reason to buy one, but this is a tool I know I’ll actually use.

I usually curl my hair in sections, wrapping each piece around the barrel and leaving the ends slightly loose. I’m not trying to create perfect ringlets. I want curls that loosen into a soft, bouncy finish, and the T3 SinglePass Curl makes that easy.

The ends are probably my favorite part. They don’t just curl and stay in place. They have enough lift and movement to make my whole hairstyle look more polished. As the curls loosen throughout the day, my hair still has plenty of shape without looking overly styled.

I can also change the look depending on how I use it. Smaller sections give me more defined curls, while larger sections create softer waves. Either way, I get the volume and bounce I’m usually after without having to put in a ton of effort.

Victoria McDonnell I’ve tried other curling irons, and some have worked perfectly well for certain hairstyles. But I always come back to the T3 SinglePass Curl because I know what I’m going to get. When I want my hair to look full, soft, and bouncy, it delivers.

So yes, you should grab this 25%-off deal while you can. At this point, I know the T3 SinglePass Curl is worth buying.

As one of the best in K-beauty, the medicube Pore Pads reduce the look of large pores, earning a spot in your skincare routine. Trust me, I reviewed nearly the whole brand (and plenty of pore pads).

When the inevitable blemish or clogged pore arrives, I wear these patches without shame. They work, squeeze all the gunk out (ew, I know), and are a product I can’t run out of.

Love ’em or hate ’em, these wipes easily remove all of my makeup from the day — including the essence mascara! — and never irritate my skin or break me out.
