Remington S 8202 NANO GOLD WET 2 Straight WIDE

When I was young, I longed for thick, wavy, long blonde hair. Sadly my hair has always been very fine and looks pretty awful once it gets past my shoulders, is poker straight and colourwise it's mousy brown, so my dream was never to be. My daughter, however, has the most beautiful hair - naturally wavy, thick and a lovely shade of blonde - everything I wished I had had when I was her age. Of course given the fact the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence my daughter likes her hair straight. She first got a taste for it at the hairdressers so I bought some Babyliss ... more

These are the first pair of Remington Straighteners I've ever owned and definately the best. My husband bought them for me for Christmas - he knew I was after a pair of GHD's but couldn't find them on the high street (us girls know they are only available through the web) so settled for these. He accidently bought me the wide plates - even though I have quite thick wavy and frizzy hair - I've always used the slim plates on previous straighteners. Why? i don't actually know. The wide plates on this particular pair just make straightening my hair so much easier than ever before. Anyway back to ... more

I have had my old straighteners (Remington Wet2straight S8100) for a couple of years now, and even though they work fine I asked for a new set for Christmas. I'd seen these new Nano-Gold ones in Boots and thought they looked a bit better. My old ones were the slim version and when my hair is longer it takes some time to get it all done so my Mum bought me the wide ones for Christmas. The product features: * New Teflon® Nano Gold ceramic coated plates for total straightening performance for wet/dry hair * Top temperature 200ºC * 60 second heat-up * Tourmaline ions leaving hair smooth, shiny and ... more

I do have to admit that I was rather sceptical about these straighteners when I first saw them in the advertisement. I wondered how they could ever dry my hair in such a quick time without making it frizzy. I can say now however, that they are the best straighteners I have ever used! I received these as a present two years ago and I am surprised how well they have lasted - I haven't noticed any corrosion on the ceramic plates, which saves on cleaning time. The straighteners seem very robust and the cable has a pivot so there is less damage to that as well. I got the version of these which is ... more

My old (and very expensive) GHD straighteners had finally bitten the dust. I was in a quandry - should I buy the same brand again or go for something I hadn't tried before. I have two friends at work who have recently bought these straighteners and they both swear by them! Besides, my daughter has very long, unruly locks and by the end of the day, even my tried and trusted GHD's didn't quite live up to their reputation on her hair. I ventured to my local Argos store and decided to try these out. I think I paid somewhere in the region of about £53 or £54 for them - about six months ago. I have ... more
