Disadvantages: on/off switch can get switched off accidentally when holding

...to find an alternative ceramic hair straightener… I spent well over a year deciding which hair straightener to go for and it's about a year since Ciao added this Remington product after my request and I'm glad to see there are already 3 User reviews. Now I'm finally able to form my own opinion after a years usage. Why Remington? And not GHD's… Due to the reasons mentioned above of high cost of GHD's I had also read worrying reports about GHD's blowing up, yes that's right, people have mentioned they saw flames coming out from the cable, whilst others have reported after a while they stop coming on or heat up much hotter than before. I did consider other straighteners like the Hai stik straightener, which is America's top selling hair straightener retailing at around £85 making it just marginally cheaper than GHD's.

Advantages: looks good and price is reasonable
Disadvantages: has a design fault which blows bulbs

...I bought one of these from Comet back in October 2007. Within a couple of weeks the bulb blew.

Advantages: WET TO DRY
Disadvantages: not so goog on dried hair

Its made in CHINA. It comes with a styleish case. and some hair clips. When I first brought this hair straigtener , I thought it wont last long , beause of my perivious experiance with other brand hair straigteners. But REMINGTON proved me wrong , its being a year and its still in the same condition as I brought it ,I also use it nearly every day. The experiance I tend to straigtend my hair when it wet, remington is very good straigtener to straigten your hair when its wet, it is very easy to straigten your hair when it wet with remington. It worms up very quickly when you first swich it on, and after straigtening your hair... Read review
