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

Remington CS2000 slim ceramic straightener

Advantages: Gets hair straighter
Disadvantages: Doesn't get very hot

...When considering buying my first ceramic straighteners I wasn't sure whether to buy an expensive, more professional pair, or to buy the cheapest I could find, to see if I could get on with them. I opted for the cheaper and cheerful pair. I found this product in the Avon catalogue for £9.99. The offer at the time was that it also came with free hair products (sleek shine spray and heat protection spray). I thought this was a good deal. The writing on the packaging claims: *Ceramic coated plates for even heat and smooth styling results. *Slim design for all hair lengths - ideal for layered and shorter styles. *on-off switch and indicator light. *cool tip to protect fingers. *Hang up loop. *1.8m cable. The leaflet inside states that it is guaranteed for 2 years. In short, it doesn't have many features; it doesn't have...

Review of Remington CS2000 Hair straighteners

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

REMINGTON 2X PROTECTION

Advantages: Heat up very fast.
Disadvantages: People assume they're not as good as GHD.

...The particular model that I am refering to in this review, are the Remington S1002 slim ceramic Teflon coated model. I originally bought these because they were only £35, assuming that they would just about do the job, as I really could not justify paying £100 for GHD straighteners. I thought that GHDs were just a craze, I must admit, it is a craze that has lasted, but I feel they have an unjustified high status. After using these straighteners for the first time, Iknew that I had bought the right ones. Myhair is kind of frizzy, but also quite oily, (that's hairdresser talk for greasy!). I have always bought straighteners that included a steamer, to moisturise my hair, which always just made it more frizzy. I grew really fed up of this, and cut it off, myself, into a short bob. Surprise, surprise, not but one month later...

Review of GHD Professional Ceramic Straightener

Remington = great value!

Advantages: Heat up fast to provide great, straight hair!
Disadvantages: Still takes a while to straighten thick hair.

...I have had these straighteners for a couple of years now and I continue to be impressed by them. The model that I am referring to is the Remington S1002. This is a sleek, grey model with 9x3cm ceramic, Teflon-coated plates. There is a wheel on the side to allow you adjust the heat for different thicknesses of hair, a flip-down stand to allow you to rest the straighteners safely and an on-off switch on the top with an indicator light. I originally bought these straighteners from Argos a couple of years ago. Before then, I had some Phillips straighteners which were appalling! I have long, thick hair with a natural wave and it took about an hour to get my hair straight. I was looking for a decent, but relatively inexpensive, straightening iron and came across the Remington model. I paid £34.99 for them, which seemed very reasonable...

Review of Remington Ceramic Straighteners

* Straighteners? More like curlers *

Advantages: It curls and straighten the underneath of my hair
Disadvantages: It burns you and doesn't straighten the top of my hair

...Remington CS3000/1001 Ceramic Hair Straightener I was so dying to have a straightener so when my gran finally bought me one, I was over the moon because I thought no more wavy hair but 7 months later am I still overmoon? Let's find out. You can buy this straightener (CS3000) in Argos, Comet, Tesco, Boots etc. They will cost you from £19.40-2.99. Cheapest is at Tesco for £20.48 (free delivery). Argos does it cheaper for £19.40 but you do have a delivery fee with that so it makes it more expensive than Tesco and most expensive I've found it at Freemans at £29.99. It's 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 mirror far away from a plug. They are very light weight which makes them easy to handle...

Review of Remington CS3000 Ceramic 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 Professional Ceramic Straightener

Remington S9810 Genius Straighteners... not so Genius really!

Advantages: A digital display and the option to change the temperature.
Disadvantages: Poor quality and a horribly expensive price tag.

...I must admit I am a big fan of GHD hair straighteners. Ever since my Mum bought me a pair of them last Christmas I would never go back to any other brand. However I am a member of the Amazon Vine programme and I received a pair of these Remington Genius straighteners for free. Genius Straighteners? Remington state that if you want cutting edge technology that?s usually found in hair salons, then these are the straighteners for you. In fact, Celebrity Hairdresser of the Year, Steven Goldsworthy, goes as far as saying these are the Ferrari of all hair straighteners! After reading this I was certainly intrigued, could they really be as good as they sound? The plates on these straighteners have the most advanced Ceramic coating, vital if you want a smooth finish with your straighteners, rather than a static look. They also...

Review of Remington S9810

Remington Ceramic Straightener

Advantages: An excllent ceramic straightener for the price
Disadvantages: Needs a stand or rest when hot.

...I had been put off buying a straightener due to people telling me the only ones to buy where the very expensive makes (£100+). Then this Remington was given as a present. Now I have amazingly thick hair that does what it want to do so I wasnt convinced that these would work - how wrong was I! These are lightweight and easy to use - especially when dealing with long hair. They work well and I now can have 'pop star' straight hair for a lot less than the expensive makes. The instructions are clear and with plug attached you are ready to go - the secret is to take a little time and divide your hair in to small managable sections - then the results are instant - smooth hair in around 15 minutes. The only things I can find wrong are; The cord should be on a swivel You have to be careful not to knock the on/off switch...
