REMMINGTON POWER CERAMIC HAIR STRAIGHTENER CS1001

Advantages: Top class performance, excellent results, great value
Disadvantages: Absolutely none - unless you're accident prone!

...my hairdresser, a friendly young girl who loves a natter and a bit of gossip. I told her that my sister's wedding was coming up and I'd really like to take control of my hair so that it looked half decent for the photographs. She washed and trimmed my hair as normal and then added some l'Oreal Protective Hair Serum. Only a small amount, about the size of a grape. This was stroked in from the roots downwards and the hair then blow dryed until it was completely dry. Taking out a slim pair of black ceramic straighteners she then gently ran the blades down the top layer of hair from about half way down, where the kinks start, to the ends. She hardly pressed the straighteners on to the hair at all and the whole process was extremely quick and totally painless. My hair felt extremely soft afterwards, appeared very straight...

Review of Remington Ceramic Straighteners

SOLID CERAMIC Straighteners on a budget

Advantages: very good value for money
Disadvantages: cheap looking, slight gap when closed

...I bought these straighteners from QVC for about £20 when they had a tsv (todays special value) in December. I was a bit wary due to how cheap they were, surely they wouldn't be any good? I have been pleasantly surprised however. The Company which distribute these straighteners is called HoMedics, Complementary Healthcare Company in Manchester www.complements.co.uk. They are a reputable company who sell various health and beauty products including magnetic therapy things (also sold on QVC). When I discovered this my confidence in the product increased. The straighteners are made in China (as most other straighteners are) and distributed by HoMedics through QVC and other online sellers. The price of them should have dropped slightly since the introduction of their mark 2 version the Ceramic Pro Straightener, which I will also...

Review of GHD Salon Styler - Hair Straightener

GHD Ceramic Straighteners

Advantages: Heats up quickly
Disadvantages: Takes a while to cool down before you can put away.

...Excellent Straightener, heats up very quickly, no waiting. Has an on off switch on the handle so that you can wait until the last minute to switch on and heat up. It also signals to you when ready to use with a beeping noise and flashing LED. The ceramic plates are hotter than others I have used and very versitile, can be used to make soft curls, tight curls or to add volumn to your style. The straighten effect is long lasting and does not require much effort to use, the beauty of heating up quickly is that you can refresh your style easily later in the day should you need to. Overall I would recommend these compared to others that I have tried....

Review of GHD Salon Styler - Hair Straightener

GHDS= Great Hot Devine Straighteners

Advantages: Produces a sleek sexy look
Disadvantages: Cant think of any

...These pink ghds limited edition were retailing at around £119 a pair. They heat up in under twenty second- when the little red LED has stopped flashing they are ready to use and it also makes a funny noise to let you know when they are ready. The straighteners irons themselves are solid ceramic, not ceramic plated like most straighteners. This means an evenly hot distribution of heat through out the plates. They can get very hot and they heat uo to a maximum temperature of 210 degrees alowing them to produce a poker straight finish. To get the best result you shout section your hair into different parting and straighten it in sections it may take a little longer but will give you a better overall outcome. Applying certain hair products to your hair after its straight will allow you to have sleek shiny hair. I would recommend ghds to...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

Brilliant Budget Hair Straighteners

Advantages: work brilliantly, don't damage hair
Disadvantages: none

...I've always wanted poker straight hair, so I was chuffed to bits when steam straighteners came onto the market and rushed out to buy a pair. Trouble was, they took ages, only semi-straightened my hair and absolutely ruined the condition. Then ceramic straighteners came into use in salons, and solved all those problems in one fell swoop. There are several ceramic straighteners on the market now, and the one I chose was Hairtools. Hairtools ceramic straighteners are not the most expensive on the market, retailing at many online stores for around £50. GHD (Good Hair Day) ones, which many people swear by, are around £80, making the Hairtools ones very reasonable indeed. At first I thought this must mean they're no good, but after chatting to a hairdresser mate who told me that she found them equally effective in every way, I plumped...

Review of Hairtools Ceramic Straighteners

The Amazing Pink Straighteners!!

Advantages: creates beautifully straight hair
Disadvantages: none

...A lot of people class GHDs as the top brand in straighteners, but as I had never used any GHDs before, I was slightly disbelieving as to their performance. However, I soon discovered once I owned a pair that they deserve the praise and fantastic reviews they receive. They are a stunning piece of technology, which have none of the faults or criticisms which some other brands have. I was given my straighteners for Christmas, but wanted to really test them properly before writing my review. I didn't want to just write away with my rose-tinted glasses on!! I have to say though that I needn't have waited, I have not been disappointed with them. I have naturally curly/wavy hair, which once blow dried seems to triple in size, and becomes a big, fluffy, frizzy mess. Over the years I have despaired so much, and was so thrilled when I bought...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

Remington 2x Ceramic

Advantages: GHD quality for half the price
Disadvantages: I keep pressing the "OFF" button by mistake!

...So, like every other woman/girl I love GHD's-I used a friend's once and was hooked-hers were a gift, but they cost from £95 from selected hair salons. Kept umming and ahhing whether to fork out for some, in the meantime used other people's! When I was getting ready to go out one night, a friend had brought Remington 2x ceramic straightners round-I used these and could not tell the difference between GHD'S. Ok, these cost around £49.99 and you can get them from anywhere-Argos, Index etc. They heat up in around 10 seconds-it's only a few seconds more than GHD's anyway! They have ceramic plated irons, and are fairly slim, they have an on/off sliding button, and a red light appears when they are switched on-the only downfal about these straighteners is that when you are using them, your thumb may turn them off again, but this...

Review of Remington Ceramic Straighteners

Saks Professional Hair Straighteners

Advantages: Quick and easy to use, straight and sleek results
Disadvantages: Quite expensive, over use can damage hair.

...For years I have bought a variety of hair straighteners, including Babyliss & Braun. All of which have had no desired effect on my hair. In fact, all the Babyliss ones did was warm my hair up a bit. A complete disappointment. I was talking to a friend about this, and she recommended a new pair of hair straighteners from Saks Hair & Beauty Salon. What a wonderful recommendation!! Saks is a chain of Hair & Beauty salons which are present all over the UK. You can telephone 0845 600 59 59 to find where the nearest salon to you is. Anyway, to the straighteners! Saks hair straighteners have long been used by professionals, and are acknowledged as being the best in the business. Celebrity users include Destiny's Child, Geri Halliwell & Atomic Kitten. Saks hair straighteners use ceramic plates, which means that the heat applied...

Review of Hairtools Ceramic Straighteners

GHD Styler - hair straighteners that save time and effort!

Advantages: heats up quickly! straightens, curls and creates waves! turns off automatically if left on!!
Disadvantages: can't straighten when hair is wet

...I have always been sceptical when it comes to buying an item that ?everyone has/wants?; which is why when it came to the time to decide what to buy to straighten my hair, I was hesitant to select one from the GHD range. Their obviously higher prices seemed to be more for a one of Christmas or birthday present, not something solely for vanity purposes! However, when I came to finally decide to buy this product, I was AMAZED. Truly, coming from someone who loves to do her hair all the time and takes pride in her appearance, this product certainly shaved off so much time from my daily routine. I can straighten and curl with it, which makes things so much easier. It?s great for the daytime look, and for the evening outs ? when you want to change your usual appearance. It heats up quickly, which makes it even more convenient. After it...
