Whatever Ionic means - it's good!

Advantages: Fast drying, shine and volume
Disadvantages: No 'bits and pieces' just the dryer

...brings a healthy shine to my hair that I have never managed before. Often my hair looks limp and in pain, however, using the D4410 even I have managed to bring a look to my hair that I never thought could be achieved outside of the hairdressers. - The dryer is quick and can be used either to blow dry your hair quickly or to carefully style it. The various heat settings help with the styling side. - I still haven't worked out what Ionic means, despite looking at a number of websites but I have gathered that it either has something to do with the speed of drying or something to do with shine. Or perhaps both. Either way, I am convinced that it is a good thing for this dryer to have. - The size of the dryer means that your arms don't ache after 20 minutes of using it. And although it is reasonably heavy for its size, its...

Review of Remington D 4410 Protect&shine Compact Ionic

Ionic or Ironic

Advantages: Lots of accessories, long cable, nice carry case
Disadvantages: Heat settings not very good.

...My husband had just broken the buttons on my last hairdryer whilst using it as some kind of DIY tool (don't ask!) so I was in desperate need of a new one. I have naturally curly hair but also straighten it from time to time, so wanted one that came with both a diffuser and a concentrator nozzle. This limited my choices a bit but when I saw this set on offer at £19.99 (normal price supposedly £39.99) I thought I'd give it a try. Although the hairdryer is made by Remington it is actually packaged as a Charles Worthington product which I thought was a trusted name. This along with the stylish carry case and the selection of accessories all helped to convince me this was a good choice. The deciding factor though for me was that on the outer packaging it stated that the hairdryer used the lastest Ionic Technology that I'd been reading...

Review of Remington D 2050 /CW

Can Ionic tehcnology really do this??

Advantages: Light-weight, fantstic results, reasonable price
Disadvantages: Not much quieter than a normal standard hair-dryer

...I wash my hair every 2 days and I'm always blow drying it, so I wanted a good hair-dryer. My most recent one was really heavy and made my arm ache a short while after blow drying my hair, so I wanted something light weight and of good quality. ***WHY DID I GO FOR THIS HAIR-DRYER?*** My hair straighteners are by Remington and they are a well known brand, especially for electrical/beauty items. I saw this in the boots catalogue priced at £19.99 which I thought was very reasonable. The hair-dryer, was not only a reasonable price, but also quite small and lightweight. It was also known as an Ionic dryer, which I know gives better results when blow-drying. It also has a cool shot, which I find is important to set your hair-style. It also mentioned that it was faster at drying which is a bonus as it means less time on drying my hair...

Review of Remington D 3700 DUAL Turbo 3000

Ionic Shine to make you smile!!

Advantages: leaves hair shiny and smooth
Disadvantages: quite big to handle!

...Vidal Sassoon 784 Hair Hydration Ionic Styler My boyfriend bought me the Vidal Sassoon Hydration Styler for christmas, just gone. I was a bit shocked when I opened the parcel because it just looked like a hot air brush, and initially I was not impressed. When I actually took the time to inspect the present, I realised that there was more to this product than met the eye!! The styler comes in a sphereical plastic box of clear plastic. It took a while to get into the box but with the use of a stanley knife, the box was torn apart and gone forever!!! Any illustration or buttons on the box or device are coloured a luxurious purple. The styler is exactly as illustrated. I actually obtained the picture fromt he Vidal Sassoon website. It is silver grey and made of plastic. It does seem quite flimsy but I have dropped it on numerous...

Review of Vidal Sassoon VS 784 E

Clay over my face

Advantages: does what it says it will
Disadvantages: price

...****Body Shop Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask **** Recently i treated myself to a couple of face masks from the body shop and this is one of the ones i got. **Body shop** They sell a wide range of skin care products and some cosmetics(foundation,some eye shadows ...). I would describe them as being more up market and a little bit more expensive than the average shop but worth it as the quality is great. **Packaging** This comes in a round tub with a screw on lid. One annoying thing is that if you are not careful and the mask dries on the side of the tub it makes it hard to open and close. **Product** Smell-I think that this has an ocean type smell to this and it is really nice. Texture-As the name applys it is like clay. Use-This is for combination and oily skin. I like how this deep cleanses skin. It can be used twice a week but i find...

Review of The Body Shop Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask

''GHD better watch their back!''

Advantages: Straightens hair quick and fast.
Disadvantages: None

...Today I bring to you a review on ''Carmen Hair - Straight and Hydrate LED Ionic 15102n'' Now I have begged my Mum to buy me GHDs for so long and she told me that they are not as good as they make out to to be. I brought mine from Argos for £21.50. I have black hair, Curly thick, dark brown you know the sort and all my friends are telling me about how great Ghds are. I knew that i wouldn't ever be able to use them so i just forgot about them. Until the day my friend came with hers and straightened my hair. It took me 40 minutes to do and left me hair feeling thick and coarse. My hair smelt like smoke and yes i did use heat protector. Now everyone's hair is different so this is MY OPINION. So don't be discouraged to by GHDs because they could work for you. Anyway onto the hair straighteners. The Carmen hair straighteners are a bit large...

Review of Carmen Hair Straight & Hydrate L.E.D. Ionic 15102

Novelty features NOT worth it.

Advantages: Fast heat up, smooth ceramic plates, temperature settings, on-off button, soft swivel cord
Disadvantages: Broke after 6 months, inexplicable grime on plates, static, bogus 'ion' feature

...I purchased the Vidal Sassoon VS881 ionic hair straightener from a local Argos shop for £29.99 (their standard price) around one year ago. I picked it because it promised me state of the art ionic technology that locks in moisture, ceramic plates that glide through your hair, and FIVE heat settings no less! And of course, £29.99 is a good price for ceramic straighteners. I wasn't expecting an uber strong straightener that dares to tackle super curls, only a plain and simple one to flatten down my fairly straight Oriental but over-voluminous hair with fly-away. I'm not sure it delivered. Argos describes this model's functions as follows: - Ionic technology - ionic port continuously emits ions - locks moisture into hair whilst straightening and reduces straightening time, resulting in less damage to the hair. - 5 LED settings from...

Review of Vidal Sassoon VS 881 Ionic/Digital

Breeze (Not So) Easy

Advantages: Keeps you cool during the hot weather
Disadvantages: No need to use it in winter

...About 2 months ago I noticed my room startng to become unbelievably hot, and with the summer fast approaching I decided to go out and look for a fan to keep me cool. Now, I didn't want a normal one as they are big and bulky and would not fit in my room easily. After much browsing around I decided on a tower fan as it seemed to be the only logical one to buy. Money in hand, I went to Robert Dyas and purchased the Rowenta Eole Ionic VU6040 tower fan for £39.99. It looked really nice being black in colour and would match my decor. It measures 88cm high and the base on which it stands is 29cm in diameter making it a perfect size to fit in one of the corners of my room. Assembly Upon opening the box I noticed that the fan was in bits. First to come out was the main unit, this is the fan itself which spins on a vertical axis being...

Review of Rowenta Eole Ionic Tower Fan VU6040

The best hair stylers I have purchased

Advantages: heat up quickly, easy to hold/handle.
Disadvantages: I have not yet experienced any disadvantages to this product

...I have owned these straightners(Vidal sassoon VS881 ionic/digital) for over 2 years now, I must admit I bought them because they were very affordable and they have turned out to be the best hair stylers I have ever bought and used. I am still more than happy with them, they are very durable. I am also a hair stylist so they do get used very frequently, they are extremely tough as they have taken more than a few falls over the years as I am rushed it helps that they heat up quickly to a good temperature it also has different temperatures which is great for different hair styles/thickness of hair, I would reccomend this product to any one seeking super sleek locks or devilish curls (I have also achieved waves with these straightners which can be particularly difficult with other stylers)...

Review of Vidal Sassoon VS 881 Ionic/Digital

Vidal Sassoon VS881 (Hair Hydration)

Advantages: Variable heat settings, swivel cord, excellent value for money, Ionic.
Disadvantages: Buttons press too easily.

...this and it has been very successful for me. The curved edges mean that you can also curl under and flick out easily. - there is a two year guarantee which is fab because my last ones (Nicky Clarke) gave up the ghost after just a year so I feel reassured that these ones will last at least two! - they are ionic which means that they do less damage to your hair which is very reassuring. The main disadvantage I have found is that the buttons are on the handle and you can easily end up turning the temperature up and down accidentally while holding them. However, I have only done this on the first use and haven't done it since. I also don't love my hair poker straight, I like it to have a bit of bounce so although I think it would do poker straight if you wanted it, they also do allow for a natural bounce. These are great...
