Advantages: Not expensive
Disadvantages: no temperature options

...hair straightener, I recently got remington cs5001 at boots for 14.99, its very easy to use, quick and efficient. Lets admit it, its not a perfect salon job, its not pokerstraight (Unless you use the right products along with it) but its straight enough to look nice, natural, stylish, and it will certainly change your looks if your curly, and it doesnt look dry and horrible. I would recomend usage of a protection spray, and an anti frizz serum with ... Read review

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

...First of all...yup I am a man.....and yeah I will be mocked bocked but i dont care....in the words of Mr Paul Weller (The musician - nothin to o with Wellar hair products girls!! -sorry ;-) ) Having quite thick, and wavey hair when long, coupled with the fashion trnd of a mullet, i swallowed my pride and bought some hair straighteners. To be honest i didint know which ones to go for so i just 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...

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.

...was that there is no indicator as to when the irons are hot enough. I have alomst completely naturally staright hair, so had no problems, however I imagine for people with very curly, thick or afro/caribbean hair they may not be as effective as the more expensive models or may take much longer. Also there are no different heat options on the device. This may cause problems for people who know more specifically what temperature they require. 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....
