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 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 Remington Ceramic Straighteners

Remington CS2000 slim ceramic straightener

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

...power socket. (in the Argos catologue, 3m cables are advertised as 'salon length cables' - 3m is nearly double the length of this products cable.) The Remington CS2000 sort of does the job, but nothing like a salon-standard product. It comes down to the phrase 'you get what you pay for'. I don't regret buying them - I'd have been more annoyed at paying £50+ for something I couldn't get to grips with using. At least I know now that I will invest in a higher quality product in a year or two. The remington CS2000 is a reasonable starter product to learn the technique of straightening hair but its very basic and you could outgrow them quick and soon want another pair. I think a lot of people will be disappointed with this products results. Whilst writing this review, I checked ebay and found the same straighteners for as little as 99p...

Review of Remington CS2000 Hair straighteners

Remington Hair Straighteners

Advantages: Easy to use and last a long time!
Disadvantages: None

...I bought these straighteners about 3/4 years ago when they first came out. They were still quite expensive but I did not have the cash for something like GHDs. So this was the next best for me. I had already gone through quite a few pairs of straighters that just could not hack the daily use. But these came up to the job. I was first recommended them by a friend, who has really long thick hair. So I tried hers out on a couple of nights out and really liked them. Best thing I ever bought, do a really good job, really quickly and have lasted me a number of years. They heat up to a top temp of 210c, most of the time I use them on dry hair but have used them when my hair has been wet but it does sound like they are burning your hair and lots of steam everywhere! I would recommend using it on dry hair but if you do use them...

Review of Remington S 8203 WET2STRAIGHT WIDE

Straighteners which are good for your hair.....?

Advantages: Sleek, Smooth, Shiny hair, easy to use
Disadvantages: Fiddly water tank

...I use hair straighteners nearly every day and I previously used Remington sleek and straight straighteners, which lasted a long time and were great at doing the job. I wanted some new straighteners to keep at my house so I could leave my other one's at my boyfriends so I didn't have to cart them around with me all the time. My hair straighteners used to dry my hair out, despite using protection spray before straightening my hair. My hair used to feel dry and brittle and would snap very easily. ***WHERE DID I SEE THESE STRAIGHTENERS?*** I was looking through the boots Christmas gift guide and I saw some Remington damage defence straighteners for dry/damaged hair. They also had a good heat temperature of 210c and the plates were ceramic diamond and with Teflon. My previous brand was Remington and as I was so please with my previous...

Review of Remington Damage Defence Straighteners 210c

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

don't be a crimper straighten yourself out

Advantages: good value,does the job
Disadvantages: none yet

...Remington Super Steam Straightener I like nothing more then spending money, yes nothing more. So when I saw this product in Boots, I just had to buy it. I brought this product about three months ago but it spent the first two months around at my friend’s house. Her 6 year old daughter has been making her poor mum crimp her hair everyday for school. When she brought it me back I decided to get it out of the box and see if it could work any miracles on my hair. As A child I never had my hair crimped. My mother used to make me have it cut short a lot saying that it would grow back thicker, I can tell you it never did. The packaging is very attractive; the box is a deep blue colour with red writing on it and an insert picture of a beautiful lady with stunning looks and shiny, long straight hair. I got the steam straightener...

Review of Remington Steam 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...
