I personally use a Fusion iron in the salon. It is a professional line and not readily available for consumer use.
The T3 has very cheap internal components and is not worth $3.00. The CHI Iron is the product of mass marketing. It has been so hyped and quite frankly Farouk did a great job at selling a cheap iron for a ton of money! I positively must give them their props! They did change the face of the appliance industry with a cheap product!
What I like about the Fusion line is that it comes from a company that has been making appliances for the beauty industry for 40 years. It's what they do. They design their own products (Well, I should say I help design their products) and own their own factories. Unlike the CHI products that come from a wet line company that bought an iron and put their name on it and then hyped the crap out of it. It does work decently but is so overpriced it's sickening! When you stop to figure that the thing costs about $1.00 to make!
What I like about Fusion is that it is a fusion of all the latest technologies.....thus the name Fusion!
Ceramic: using a far infrared heat to heat the hair from the inside out for faster results and less contact time of the heat to the hair.
Tourmaline: The only gemstone to produce it's own Ion to close the cuticle and retain moisture. It also eliminates odors from the hair
Nano Technology: for smooth use without pulling.
Nano Silver: to disinfect and cleanse.
Gemstone Technologies: Each different gem stone serves a different purpose.
Floating plates: for easy, even tension.
Rheostatic control: to choose the appropraite temp.
Pulse Technology: It retains the chosen temp without fluctuation for even results.
Beveled Edges: eliminates ridges.
Temperatures up to 430* (at least 400*F is needed to close the hair's cuticle on contact)
So, yeah....my choice Fusion Tools!
although after reading about ilikemike's iron, i want one of those.
