T3Micro Hair Tools: A Review of the Best Products for Natural Hair

T3Micro is a professional hair tool brand that offers a wide range of high-quality products. Their tools are best known for their innovative design, advanced technology, and exceptional performance. As a black woman with natural 4C hair, it’s essential that I know if these products are worth our coins and if they’ll actually work on our thick, coarse hair. Below are a few of my favorite products.

1. T3 Micro FEATHERWEIGHT STYLEMAX

The T3 Micro Featherweight Stylemax Dryer is a lightweight and powerful hair dryer that is perfect for all hair types. It features a powerful motor that dries hair quickly and evenly, and it has multiple heat and speed settings so you can customize your drying experience. The dryer also comes with a concentrator attachment for precision styling.

2. T3 Micro Lucea 1.5 Flat Iron

The T3 Micro Lucea 1.5 Flat Iron was made for me! It was specially made for those with thick and coarse hair to give a sleek, flat result in one pass. It heats quickly and has 9 heat settings to provide you with the ultimate results. See this flat iron in action here.

3. T3 Micro Switch Kit Curl Trio

The T3 Micro Switch Kit Curl Trio is perfect for creating a variety of curls, and it is great no matter the length of your hair. From tight ringlets to loose waves you can achieve it by switching out the barrel. It features interchangeable barrels in three sizes, and it has five heat settings so you can customize your curls. The curling iron also comes with a heat-resistant glove for added safety. 

4. T3 Micro Airebrush 

The T3 Micro AireBrush is a beast and designed to give you a salon worthy blowout every time. However, you must read the instructions. Your hair should not be soaking wet when using this tool. I like to apply my heat protectant and section my hair while letting it air dry and stretch before going in with the tool. I was so amazed at how well it stretched my natural 4c hair. It does take a little practice, but once you get the hang of it - AMAZING! 

Overall, these tools have been a game changer in helping me achieve the styles I desire. With natural hair, it can be extremely tricky to know what products and tools will be worth the investment. So when I know, I’m happy to share! 

My Natural Hair Journey: Still Going Strong in 2024

I've been on my natural hair journey for over three years now, and I'm loving it more and more every day. My hair is healthier, stronger, and more beautiful than it's ever been. I’ve learned so much about myself and hair through this process. I’ve also learned a thing or two, and per request, (via my Instagram poll) here we are.

In the beginning, I struggled with transitioning from relaxed to natural hair. I didn't know how to care for my hair properly, and I was constantly frustrated with the results. So, I said forget it, let’s cut it all off. My hair was breaking off, I was under an enormous amount of stress and depression was wreaking havoc in my life.

For the first year, I still didn’t take care of my hair. I really didn’t know what to do. I washed it and detangled it, and constantly kept it wrapped up. Then I moved to protective styles - my go to box braids and wigs.

What have I learned?

One of the most important things I've learned is that you have to learn what your hair likes. I noticed that my hair showed characteristics of being low porosity and I started trying travel sized products before purchasing full sized versions not knowing if I would like them or not. 

I’ve also learned that natural 4c hair can curl, I never thought my hair would turn into beautiful wet looking curls. I love rocking a wash and go when I have time to “do the wash and go” process.

Overall, I'm so grateful for my natural hair journey. It's been a journey of self-discovery and self-love. I've learned so much about myself and my hair, and I'm more confident than ever.

If you're thinking about going natural, I encourage you to try it, especially if you don't wear your hair out anyway, what’s the point in relaxing it. I’m always going to be team, ‘Do what you like’ and what makes you feel like the best version of yourself. 

Luvme Hair Wet and Wavy Headband Wig

This post is sponsored by Luvme Hair. All opinions are my own.

It’s been a long time since I’ve done a relaxed hair journey update but here we go! Y'all I still don’t know what I am doing with my hair. While I love my hair, I’ve gone without a relaxer for a few months - yikes! So, I’m at a breaking point - do I relax again or attempt to go natural for the 100th time? Either way, I’m learning to create a protective style routine that I can stick to. 

Headband wigs took the world by storm in 2020 and I missed it! I was not hip to trend but better late than never right? Headband wigs are easy to use and beginner friendly, they also have a very natural look to them - especially if you’re not into trying out lace front wigs.

Luveme Hair sent over this 20” Wet & Wavy Headband wig for me to check out and I’m quite impressed. I love a good wet and wavy style, especially during the summer time! The wig comes with 5 headbands of different colors chosen at random and a protective bag and box for storage. You can rock it straight out of the pack or wet it and add a curling cream for an extra pop!

How to Wear

If you’ve never tried a wig before this is the perfect start for you to achieve the most natural looking style. Comb and brush your natural hair back into a bun or low ponytail. As an optional step you can slick your edges down. Next apply a wig cap while leaving the perimeter of your hair exposed. Using the attached combs, place them into your hair. Pull the hair up into a ponytail and attach the back clip. 

The wig has 3 combs in the front and one in the back to easily attach it to your hair. I like to use the one in the back only so it doesn’t pull at the front of my hair. My hairline is quite thin - so I prefer to reduce tension as much as possible. Attaching the Velcro strap alone will still securely hold the wig in place. I haven’t experienced any movement with it and I’m pretty active. 

Protective Styling 

Protective styling is key when trying to grow and retain the length of your hair. Luvme Hair created the headband wig collection with this goal in mind. You can have your hair braided underneath your wig and still wear it. Braiding the hair flat or putting it in a low bun helps to create a flawless finished look.
