Remington CS5001

Advantages: They heat up in 60 seconds and go up to 200 degrees celcius
Disadvantages: No on/off switch

I got these straighteners with some christmas money at Boots and they are in excellent condition. They came with a 2 year guarantee, so I definatley know they are made to last. They leave my hair feeling silky smooth and straight without kinks, and I don't know what I'd do without them! They heat up to 200 degrees in 60 seconds, which is great. It even comes with a heatproof mat which allows me to put them wherever I like, and it can even double ...
...about 5 mins to cool down aswell which is fab if you're in a rush. The ceramic plates are long which means that you can straighten even more hair at one time. Extra features include a 3m salon length swivel cable which is good if you want to stand in front of a mirror and the plug is far away. They are very lightweight and easy to hold, and there is an indication light to show when the straighteners are on or off. You would think that the cheaper ... Read review

Advantages: Fast heat up. Long cable. Heat proof matt included. Safe and user friendly.
Disadvantages: Only one heat setting. No way to tell when 200degrees has been obtained.

...To conclude I would highly recommend these hair straighteners. They are an excellent product, especially for such a reasonable price. However if you are looking for something with more attachments, accessories or functions perhaps try a model such as Remington Digital Ceramic Straighteners but expect to pay more for them. ...

Advantages: Very reasonably priced compared to others on market
Disadvantages: the shame of buying hair straighteners!! ha

...opted for the reasonably priced Remington CS5001 from Boots. I paid £23.99 if i rememebr correctly which i thought was a good deal considering he more expensive types like GHD etc, I've since been told that they are available from Argos at a cheaper price!!! The straighteners areI black with white/yellow Ceramic plates. The ceramic coating enables it to glide easier through your hair. It has a cable of 3 metres so you can actually use them in a ...
...lightweight and easy to use even for us novices....although i did burn my head on one or two occasions ha. The only draw back for most people would be the fact thatthat there is no temperature control. The first time i used them, i was surprised at how straight my hair was, applied alittle hair spray (gawd i cant believe i'm writing this on the net for all to see!!) and perfectly straight hair!! I have used GHD's at a friends house (a girl in ... Read review

Advantages: heat up quickly, leave hair feeling soft, easy to use
Disadvantages: no on/off button

They are reasonably priced good straightners. They come in a good sized box with clear instructions and tips on how to manage your hair. They heat up quickly to a hight temperature +but sometimes the plastic on the side near the ceramic plates can get quite hot too. They are easy to use but are quite big so it is easy to burn yourself. You need to do each peice of hair a couple of times if you want it dead straight but they are quick to use. On ...
...away and now you can see some of the silver metal. You need to clean the plates after each use if you use hair products as they can get very dirty and if you don't clean them they you will not be able to get them clean in the long run. It leaves my hair feeling soft and not greasy. It can be quite annoying that there is no on/off button. You can buy them from £20 to £40 ... Read review

Advantages: excellent result on hair
Disadvantages: handles can get very hot if left on for a very long period of time

when i became interested in straightening my hair these were the first straighteners i ever purchased, i was 13 at this time, now 15 i am still using this model of straightener simply because i find them veryyy good, and no other straightening iron has the same effect on my hair, not even ghd. i would recommend them to anyone. these straighteners can also be used for curling your hair because the straightener has a rounded barrell, now with these ...
...a superb job on curling themselves, the straighteners can be used along with any styling or heat protection prouducts and even without creates a sleek, shiny, smooth look that is very admirable. i bought these straighteners for only £21.99 out of superdrugs at romford and i think that price is an absoloute bargain. when you purchase the staighteners they come with a free heat protection mat to protect your surfaces and these straighteners are very ...
