Remington Ceramic Hair Straightener, 30 Seconds Heat Up Time - S1400, Black

Talk about affordable. I purchased one of those T3 hair straighteners on a flash sale that everyone was raving about three years ago only for it to end up going kaput last week. Dismayed, as I paid $99 for it on the stellar reviews from users claiming it was the best and healthiest straightener they ever used -- I hated it. It didn't properly grip the hair, didn't curl as I liked my hair to do, and was just an overall pain in the ass. The best thing about it was that it looked nice 'cus it was white and gold.Somewhere in my childhood home lies the gem of hair straighteners. Purchased off Amazon in maybe even 2007, it was during the time of Chi. It was some knock-off version I remember buying for $30 and at that time as a very young teen, that was about all of my money. It still works to this day over 14 years ago and never had I had such a great straightener -- until this one.This Remington straightener is comparable to that incredible fake iron. It grips the hair perfectly, is no frills with no confusing buttons to press to allocate the temperature. It just does what it needs to do. It curls, it straightens, and it's affordable. What more could you want? It doesn't have all the bells and whistles because it doesn't need it and it leaves your hair soft. It is chic and simple. You plug it in and it does the job -- that's all anyone could ever ask for.Great product and cheap. Save your money for all that fancy stuff. This is the good stuff.

These are great value for money I don't do my hair often but these are perfect and small enough to take on holiday. Only thing I would of liked would of been an on and off switch instead of them turning straight on when you plug them in but it's not to much of an issue

My wife wanted this as a standby as her very expensive one had packed in and had to go for plates replacement. This one worked fine and a brilliant price too, not quite as sophisticated as the expensive one but did the job and will be used by her when away from home on breaks or holidays.

I've used these for years and they're still going strong! They're perfect for traveling although, I also use them regularly at my boyfriends (so at least half of the year). I use them happily for straightening and curling, I actually prefer the curls they give to my regular straighteners.They're a great size and work well in countries with either 240V or 140V supply. They heat up very quickly but there is no temperature control. You have to remember to turn them off as they get very hot and as far as I can tell have no timer that automatically disables them if they're left on for long periods.

You are getting what you pay for.Pros:Heats up quickly.Does an OK job.The tip of the tongs get hot, but not burning hot, so a bit protceted from burns.Cons:The tongs catch on my hair, not smooth.No on off button, just when its plugged in or out. The red light is on when the tongs are on, never changes to green or ready.No option to close/lock the tongs.Its very basic. Does an alright job at straightening, but lucky if it lasts two days. Spend a bit more now on a better straightener instead of being in my shoes where I bought this and am already looking for a replacement (which I have learnt, I dont want to cheap out on).This straightener is probably better on fine, thin hair..

Excellent

I got this for normal hygiene had no issues perfectly fine

Fantastic product, honestly better than I expected for the price. The straightener dispatched quickly and arrived a day earlier than expected. The straightener gets really hot, really quickly which is great for when you're running late but be sure to keep it safely away from little hands, paws or flammable surfaces. Great product, would recommend.
