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

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 Complements Ceramic Hair Straightener

Excellent Straighteners & a Great Gift

Advantages: Durable, Perfect Straight Hair, So Simple To Use
Disadvantages: Don't use on wet hair it damages them

...I won't go into amazing detail as there are so many good reviews on here but i bought these for my girlfriend as she kept borrowing out her old GHD's which her friend seemed to ruin and she loves them. She is a hairdresser and swears by GHD she should actually just change jobs and promote them that?s how passionate and convincing she can be. And to quote her in some way - Yes they are more expensive than most of the other brands but unless you are really unlucky you will never need to own another pair of straighteners again as they are so good and durable. The fact that she can do hers & my hair in just one stoke achieving perfect straightness is amazing and after seeing others struggle and steam go flying into the hair i recommend you spend the extra pennies because it is worth it. For £119 get them for yourself, girlfriend whoever...

...I have completely updated the whole of this review so i would be very grateful if you could all take a look. Em x GHD Professional Ceramic Straighteners: ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ These hair straighteners are the best ones i have come across. I am no expect but i have tried quite a few different hair straighteners by borrowing friends etc!! After a few subtle hints on my part my boyfriend brought me my GHD staighteners for christmas last year and they are my favourite item in my bedroom!!

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

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

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

PS3 slim

Advantages: Blu-ray, free online, nice extras like vidzone & iplayer. Almost silent operation
Disadvantages: Rubbish controller, still expensive, online nowhere near as good as xbox live

...Well, had the slim for a few weeks now (my 1st ever playstation), personally, I'm a little underwhelmed by it, I've been a gamer since the nintendo game & watch days & owned @ least 1 of the current gen consoles since the Mega Drive(Genesis). Graphically the system has the potential to wipe the floor with the 360, but this is really only going to apply to PS3 exclusives as any software house making a multi-platform game is going to be as cost effective (lazy) as possible & use the same graphics on all the games where possible(ok, they need to dumb them down for the Wii). My problem here is that I have yet to get a game for it that runs in 1080P, they all seem to be in 720P! Why???? I'm sure they are out there, but I haven't found one yet. I guess this is down to most HD tv's being HD ready rather than Full HD. Sound-Yeah, ok...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (PS3)

Andrew Helps Me Stay On The Straight & Narrow!

Advantages: Fast heat-up, easy to use, great value
Disadvantages: None

.... Andrew Collinge is a well-known celebrity hairdresser, who's wife is the make-up artist Liz. He has been in the hairdressing business for 25 years, and has twice won the British Hairdresser of the Year award. Andrew was even president of the Hairdressing And Beauty Industry Authority for three years! I wouldn't say he was one of the top three hairdressing names (Vidal Sassoon, Nicky Clarke and John Frieda), but unlike other hairdressers, his hair is reasurringly ordinary (no rainbow colours or perms!) which was enough for me to have faith in Andrew and his straighteners! These straighteners are listed in the Argos catalogue as Andrew Collinge Professional Slim Ceramic Straightener, but they are exactly the same - I know this because my auntie forgot to take off the Argos receipt stuck to the side of the box! The straightener boasts ceramic...
